The countdown is on! Wild Canada will open to the public and members at 11 a.m. on December 1st, 2023! Visitors may still enter the zoo at 9:00 a.m., as per our normal business hours.
We look forward to welcoming visitors back to the space when the new Wild Canada zone officially opens on December 1, 2023.
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!

Operations
To create some exciting new habitats and spaces in the Canadian Wilds, we are undergoing a massive construction project which will temporarily shift pathways and move some animals offsite until the construction is completed.
As of April 12, 2023, the North Path of the Canadian Wilds is closed. This means that muskox, wood bison, bighorn sheep, woodland caribou, whooping crane, North American river otter, Rocky Mountain goats, and the residents of the Jihad Shibley Rocky Mountain Aviary are currently not viewable.
We’re working hard to minimize impacts while continuing to provide the best possible experience for both our visitors and the animals we love and care for. We can’t wait to welcome you back to this space when the Canadian Wilds fully reopens later this Fall!
