Wild Canada: Wild Canada will be closed all day on Tuesday, April 21, and until noon on Wednesday, April 22, to support introductions between our polar bears. This temporary closure gives both the bears and their dedicated care team the space and privacy needed to safely manage this process. Thank you for your understanding.

Seasonal Closures
Gorilla Amphitheatre: The Gorilla Amphitheatre is closed for the season from October 15th, 2025. Our gorilla troop remains viewable in their indoor habitat.
Prehistoric Park: Prehistoric Park is closed for the season from October 27th, 2025, pending favourable weather conditions.
PETRONAS Gateway to Asia Malayan Tapir Viewing: ‘Sempurna’ and her calf have daily access to the main indoor habitat from 10:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m. They’ll also have access to their behind-the-scenes space and may choose to spend time there, especially when the calf is nursing, so viewing isn’t always guaranteed. Thank you for your understanding.
Exploration Asia
The Exploration Asia Redevelopment project is officially underway! While there are some viewing impacts in the area, you can still visit many of your favourite species.
Due to significant construction activities in and around Exploration Asia, the zoo’s West Gate will remain closed for the 2025 season and is expected to remain closed until at least 2028/2029. This necessary step supports the safe movement of visitors while we undertake exciting improvements to animal habitats and visitor experiences.
Adults-Only
Between open skies and rolling grasses lies an ecosystem rich in cross-species interaction. Predators pressure prey, prey reshape the land, and the land responds in cycles that shape the species that call prairies home. If you love prairie wildlife, you won’t want to miss the latest edition of our guest-favourite outdoor game.
Solve puzzles, crack codes, and unlock the secrets of the prairies before time runs out. You’ll be challenged to use your wits, think creatively, and work with your team to solve an intricate series of puzzles that bring animal conservation to life.
New this year are food boxes included with your ticket, so you can fill your belly while your brain is at work! Choose between delicious Fish Tacos, a House Smoked Alberta Brisket Sandwich, or an Alberta Chickpea Curry for your meal.

Time: First timed ticket entry is from 5:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.; the last timed ticket entry is from 6:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
