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.
Due to significant construction activities in and around Imagine 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.

Join us at the Wilder Institute’s Calgary Zoo on October 3, for Wild Walk 2026, powered by Booster Juice! We’ll be taking a big step for conservation during a morning filled with family-fun, fresh air, and wildlife. To top off this event, join with your zoo community for a delicious breakfast buffet on Asia Lawn before continuing your zoo adventure – registration includes full-day zoo access!
