The Wolf Willow (Rimbey and District) Guides Brownies and Sparks saw monkeys and quite a few other wild and wooly animals this weekend on our overnight field trip to the spectacular Calgary Zoo! Our safari began in Rimbey at 7:30 Saturday morning and by 11:00am, groups of girls ranging from age 5 to 12 were touring through the African Savanna,... more

From all of the glowing reviews, I guess I was expecting the most spectacular zoo ever.....It was clean, well laid out and had a good variety of animals. If you don't really care for zoos and just go because your kids like it, then it will be just another zoo. more

We went back to the Calgary zoo this past summer (July 2008), not having been there for at least 5 years. It keeps getting better and better ... we love this zoo! Lots of trees, park-like areas, sitting areas, and resting spots make for a very pleasant day! The new African area is especially amazing! To see all the animals... more

The Calgary Zoo is far superior to any zoo I've ever been to. It is extremely large in size and it organizes itself according to theme (Canada, Africa, etc.). It is full of exotic animals, some of which get who get to walk around (mostly the peacocks). You can easily spend a day here, and it's recommended for both adults... more

The animals were awesome and it is very fun to be there. You can chase birds around the park. Theres big dinosaur statues. And there are many interesting animals. more

Absolutly needed to visit. I was suprised about the quality of the zoo. I spent between 3 and 4 hours. Great Canadian Wildlife section, a lot of animals from all around the world. Staff were great and did provide help. I did visit a lot of zoo all around the world and it's the best one. more

We stayed in Calgary for several months and went to the zoo half a dozen times and saw something new every time. The most interesting part (for an English person anyway) was the Canadian wildlife section which had bears, moose and mountain goats amongst other things. The most spectacular part is the African house which has an enormous pool for... more

Everytime I visit there is something new to see at this zoo as they are constantly working at upgrading the exhibits and facilities for the animals. The recent addition of a baby elephant to the zoo definately gets 5 stars for cuteness. In addition to the animals the gardens are really lovely to walk around in the summer. In the... more

A zoo being a zoo, this zoo is not so different as most other zoos, but there are quite a few differences that are really worth going to this one. The prehistoric section is very well done. It's like if the Dinosaur Park had been moved to Calgary, as you will feel like if you were in Drumheller, among dinosaurs... more
