The Jihad Shibley Rocky Mountain Aviary is presently closed.
Why the closure? It’s nesting season for our owls! Our great grey owls, especially the younger members of our parliament, can become protective of their nests and territory during this time.
To support their natural behaviors and prioritize safety for both our birds and visitors, we’re taking a proactive step by temporarily closing the habitat. Thank you for your understanding.
The ENMAX Conservatory will be closing at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 15th to facilitate setup for an event. Thank you for your understanding.
Penguin Plunge (indoor) will be closed from February 20 through to May 17, 2024, while we complete upgrades to the building’s mechanical system to ensure it is in tip-top shape for the four species that call it home. Penguins will be viewable outdoors only (weather permitting). Thank you for your understanding.
On-site Program
In this program students will act as budding botanists, learning about the importance of plants in our world. Through station-based activities aimed at discovering various aspects of plants, such as seed dispersal, pollination, life cycles and function of anatomy, students will reflect on the question, “How does our understanding and appreciation of plants help us to protect our environment?”
