Imagine Asia will have a delayed opening time on Wednesday, July 15. Members will have exclusive access from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. General public access begins at 1 p.m. We can’t wait to see you there!
Western Lowland Gorilla Troop: On June 26th, 29th, and 30th, our western lowland gorilla troop will only be viewable outdoors, weather-permitting, to accommodate mulch work in the indoor habitat. Thank you for your understanding.
PETRONAS Gateway to Asia Malayan Tapir Viewing: ‘Sempurna’ and her female calf ‘Nyawa’ have daily access to either the main indoor habitat or the outdoor habitat from 9:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. They’ll also have access to their behind-the-scenes space and may choose to spend time there, so viewing isn’t always guaranteed. Thank you for your understanding.
Exploration Asia
The Exploration Asia Redevelopment project is officially underway! While there are some viewing impacts in the area, you can still visit many of your favourite species.
Due to significant construction activities in and around Exploration Asia, the zoo’s West Gate will remain closed for the 2025 season and is expected to remain closed until at least 2028/2029. This necessary step supports the safe movement of visitors while we undertake exciting improvements to animal habitats and visitor experiences.

You have the power to be a conservation hero! You can choose to support a specific program, or direct your gift to the area of greatest need. Your donation to the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo gives hope to endangered species and funds conservation action.
Only donations of $10 or more will be issued a tax receipt. Tax receipts will be mailed out.
