Experience a Summer of Wild Fun at the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo

Sea art with impact 

Washed Ashore, a new art exhibit at the zoo, is making waves, and you can check it out all summer until September 14. Dive into a creative conservation journey through the park, where you will find 15 stunning sculptures. These larger-than-life pieces depict marine wildlife and are made entirely of debris collected from Pacific Ocean beaches. Don’t miss out – this exhibit is only at the zoo for a limited time.

Discover dinos and leaping lemurs this summer

Summer is here, which means guest favourites Prehistoric Park and Land of Lemurs are now open for the season!

Stroll into the past in Prehistoric Park and see which dinosaurs you can spot hidden among the trees. Dino Dig is the perfect place to let kids discover their inner paleontologist as they unearth fossils.

Step into the immersive Land of Lemurs habitat and meet the zoo’s lively ring-tailed, red-fronted and black-and-white ruffed lemurs. How many can you spot sunbathing or calling from the treetops?

Get wild at adult-only zoo nights

Whether you’re into escape rooms, cocktails or a good murder mystery, the zoo’s adult-only nights make for unforgettable evenings.

If you’re looking for a night out with a wild vibe, Wild After Hours events are for you. Enjoy a four-course meal alongside a fascinating presentation that explores the secret lives of animals in the zoo’s care. This September, journey into the hidden world of Malaysian tapirs and uncover one of the animal kingdom’s most unique and captivating species.

Discover your new favourite drink at Cocktails for Conservation this August, or if you’re feeling extra fabulous, grab a seat at the zoo’s dazzling Drag Dinner.

This September, puzzle fans can plunge into Locked Zoo: Diving Deep as they race to escape the zoo. Thrill-seekers can return in October for ZOODUNNIT?, a whodunnit experience served with a side of mouth-watering food. Pick your night and make it wildly unforgettable.

Can’t choose only one? Take advantage of the zoo’s bundle and save offer – enjoy 15 percent off when purchasing tickets to two events, or 20 percent off when buying tickets to three or more.

Summer eats and treats at the zoo
