Calgary Zoo | Buy Daily Admissions Tickets

Important Update to our Operations:

As of February 9th, proof of an Alberta government-issued QR code; a negative COVID-19 test; or valid proof of medical exemption is no longer required for entry to the zoo; and
Indoor masking is only required for visitors (ages 3+) while inside the Rainforest building to help keep our gorilla troop safe.

The Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo has amended operations to keep our animals safe from any contamination due to the presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI), subtype H5N1, as cases continue to increase in Alberta.
- The Rainforest Aviary and the Jihad Shibley Rocky Mountain Aviary are closed
- All birds will be held indoors and may not be viewable by visitors (Chilean flamingoes, rhea, ostrich, whooping cranes, crown cranes, peacocks, penguins, and pheasants)
- Red river hogs, wild boars and ferrets may not be viewable by visitors
- The indoor habitat at Penguin Plunge will remain open for now with increased pathway disinfection, and everyone entering Penguin Plunge will step on a disinfecting mat in the entrance vestibule.
- Effective Friday, April 15th we are asking visitors, guests, members, staff and volunteers entering zoo grounds to notify Guest Relations or Security team members if they have been around live chickens, turkeys, ducks or geese in the past week.
  - If you are wearing the same shoes and clothes as when you were around live chickens, ducks, turkeys or geese, you will not be permitted to enter zoo grounds and will be encouraged to return on another day.
Thank you for your understanding and helping us keep the animals we all love, safe and healthy.
