Early Closures

Early Zoo Closure: Last entry to the Wilder Institute’s Calgary Zoo will be at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, September 11, to accommodate set up for our ZooBrew (18+) event. Last entry to buildings will be at 4 p.m. and the zoo will be cleared by 5 p.m. Thank you for your understanding.

Early Wild Canada Closure: Last entry to Wild Canada will be at 5 p.m. on Sunday, September 13, to accommodate set up for our FOCUSED (16+) event. Thank you for your understanding.

Animal Viewing Impacts:

PETRONAS Gateway to Asia Malayan Tapir Viewing: ‘Sempurna’ and her female calf ‘Nyawa’ have daily access to either the main indoor habitat or the outdoor habitat from 9:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. They’ll also have access to their behind-the-scenes space and may choose to spend time there, so viewing isn’t always guaranteed. Thank you for your understanding.

West Gate Closure

Due to significant construction activities in and around Imagine 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.

Welcoming Lenny

August 24, 2026 | 1 minute read

Great leaping lemurs! A male ring-tailed lemur has joined our conspiracy!

Meet Lenny, who is 13 years old and joins us from Zoo de Granby in Quebec. He completed his quarantine in the care of our friends at Edmonton Valley Zoo and has spent the past few days getting used to the back-of-house spaces in Land of Lemurs.

Lenny is castrated, and his addition to our zoo family is based on a recommendation for companionship. Introductions with the females in our conspiracy will take place in back-of-house spaces and we expect Lenny to make his public debut at Land of Lemurs this week.
