Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo
Calgary's zoo combines animal habitats with an indoor conservatory on a large riverside site. It deserves a substantial visit rather than a quick look between downtown stops.
Wild Canada, Destination Africa and the ENMAX Conservatory give the visit distinct sections, so you can favour local wildlife, habitats from farther afield or a sheltered plant-focused break. The zoo's setting on St. George's Island in the Bow River also makes it a clear eastern anchor for a Calgary day.
What to look for
Wild Canada focuses on Canadian animal habitats.
Destination Africa offers a contrasting habitat zone.
The ENMAX Conservatory provides an indoor change of pace.
