Detours & Playground Closures: April 11-18

There will be a few detours and playground closures this week and next while we do some maintenance and pruning to trees across zoo grounds:

• April 11 - The Savannah Tunnel in Destination Africa is closed; zebra, ostrich, lemurs and lions are still accessible for viewing by taking the detour via the Savannah Yard Loop Pathway;
• April 13 - Calgary Co-Op Kids Zone, located in Exploration Asia, will be closed;
• April 14 - There will be a detour by the Gorilla Amphitheater and our flamingo flock will remain indoors while the trees around their habitat are pruned; and
• April 17 & 18 - Kinsman Playground, located in Destination Africa, will be closed on both days.

We appreciate your patience as we make the zoo the best it can be for our visitors and the animals we love and care for!

Building Closure: April 27

The African Savannah Building will be closed from 9 am – 10 am on April 27th for a private event. Thank you for your understanding.

Canadian Wilds Construction Update: North Path Closure

To create some exciting new habitats and spaces in the Canadian Wilds, we are undergoing an extensive construction project which will temporarily shift pathways and move some animals offsite until the construction is completed.

While some Canadian Wilds species are currently not viewable, the good news is that you’ll still be able to see several iconic Canadian species when you visit the Canadian Wilds South Path. On this path, you will see cougars, black bears, grizzly bears, North American porcupine, moose, and gray wolves. We’re working hard to minimize impacts while providing the best possible experience for our visitors and the animals we love and care for. Learn more and view the current Canadian Wilds map here.
