Calgary: Wilder Institute Zoo Ticket

With my family,
Time to explore animals

The Calgary Wilder Research Institute Zoo is a great place for families. Located on St. George Island, it is a five-minute drive from downtown Calgary and 20 minutes from Calgary International Airport. You can see over 4,000 animals from all over the world.

March of the Penguins

Since the penguins were introduced in 2012, the zoo has had a special event. Every winter, you can see the emperor penguins walking outside their habitat along the Royal Promenade inside the zoo. The time available varies depending on the penguins’ condition and the weather, but try to visit the area at 10:30 a.m. on a possible day.

A space for children

The zoo has not only animals, but also places to shop, restaurants, and a small playground for children. Shop for dolls, toys, games, books, and other items to make lasting memories back home. There is a small playground for children in Bugtopia, so you can have fun at the zoo.
