Calgary is a city located in the province of Alberta, Canada. This beautiful city is situated at the confluence of the Bow River and the Elbow River and it is the largest city in the province.
The city boasts tons of fun family activities including amazing adventures and family friendly places to see. If you are a looking for a travel destination with your family consider the city of Calgary next. When visiting Calgary you can choose from a variety of fun attractions including Calaway Park, the Calgary Tower, the Calgary Zoo, Heritage Park, TELUS Spark and more.
Thinking about walking around the world in one day? Then be sure to stop by the Calgary Zoo while in the city. For more than 75 years, the Calgary Zoo, Botanical Garden and Prehistoric Park has offered visitors from around the world the opportunity to experience and interact with wildlife – right in the heart of the city only 5 minutes from downtown. Western Canada’s largest accredited zoo makes every trip and adventure with over 1,000 animals, 6 acres of botanical gardens, a prehistoric park, zoo-nique playgrounds and more!
My parents live in Calgary and we have visited the Calgary Zoo many times. It is such a fun place for the entire family, our preschooler loves going to the Zoo and seeing all of his favourite wild animals there. So many learning opportunities! Very exciting to see him asking questions and his surprise and responses when walking around the zoo, many magical and special moments.
If you haven’t had the chance to visit Calgary yet then I recommend you do. The city hosts family fun, and educational experiences alike that will keep both parents and kids active and entertained

I would sure love to visit Calgary Zoo sometime,sounds lovely!
Have only been through Calgary once, was just a quick stop over
I’m one of the people who hate zoos because I believe animals belong in the wild but I’m also not naive so I know that in some cases they’re better off in zoos. I only wish that for every animal to have a large enclosure that resembles the wild but also doesn’t make them feel trapped. This is my dream for animals in captivity !
Calgary zoo is a great place for all
We have never been to the Calgary zoo, I have put this at the top of our to do list for the next time we visit.
One of our favourite zoos to visit as a family.
