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.
Wild Canada will close early on the following dates to accommodate set up for the Wild After Hours: Polar Bears event (18+). The last entry to the zone will be 4:00 p.m.
Penguin Plunge (indoor) will be closed from February 20 through to May 16, 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.
Family-Friendly
Bring your family and friends down for a fun and educational morning at the zoo! Admission to this event includes an exclusive before hours viewing opportunity of our Wild Canada zone with a side of polar bear facts from our Conservation Education staff and our volunteers. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about polar bears, what makes them so wonderful, why they are endangered, and of course, get a chance to see Baffin and Siku during their morning routine. You’ll get to hear all the up-to-date polar bear news at this event for all ages.
Afterwards, guests will move on to a delicious buffet breakfast with fresh fruit, pancakes, and more. Your ticket includes admission to the zoo.
Make sure to act fast – this event will sell out quick!
