Wild Canada is now open to the public and members. We welcome you to take a journey through seven of Canada’s ecological zones, celebrating the wonder and diversity of a world where people, animals, and the land are connected.
To simplify our membership program, we’re moving to a two-tiered structure – Wild Explorers and Wild Adventurers. The difference between the two? It’s all about the perks you receive!

The Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo’s Animal Care & Health team members are experts when it comes to caring for and treating our diverse family of animal residents. But they know that even our stuffed animal friends sometimes need a little TLC.
For a $5 donation, you can bring your little one and their favourite stuffed animal to the zoo for a checkup! Our animal health experts, educators, and volunteers will help demystify visiting the doctor’s office while showcasing the importance of regular medical care for people and animals.

Please be sure to bring your proof of donation to the zoo with you.
From performing preventative health check-ups to life-saving procedures, our incredible Animal Care, Health & Welfare team looks after the health and well-being of the animals we love and care for – and for one day only, the stuffies you love and care for. We hope to see you there!
