Calendar

Animal families come in all shapes and sizes! Join the Calgary Zoo for Family-Nite and spend the evening visiting the many hairy, scaly, fluffy, and prickly families that call the Zoo home. This family-themed night will have animal talks, biofacts, games, entertainment, and, of course, the animatronic dinosaurs will stay up late to see you, too! This evening will have timed tickets, limited capacities, and safe distancing. Pre-order your special Family–Nite dinner boxes as there will be limited food available.

Calgary-based Colouring It Forward Reconciliation Society is pleased to present the third annual Pokaiks (pookehks) - The Children: Orange Shirt Day Walk. This free event will be held in downtown Calgary and will feature a walk down Stephen Avenue to Olympic Plaza beginning at 10am to honor and stand in solidarity with survivors and victims of the residential school system. The walk will begin at 3rd Street and 8th Avenue SW and will be followed by performances, traditional dancing, remarks from members of the Indigenous community, and a headline performance from Juno award winner Caleigh Cardinal, from 11am to 3pm at Olympic Plaza.

Going back to school can be difficult, but fortunately Andrea and friends can help! Join on September 27 for an online Back-to-School art class!

Join the Calgary Zoo for an evening of dining and discovery as you immerse yourself in conversations about bears of all types. Start the evening with a visit to the bear habitats in the beautiful Canadian Wilds. Next, head to the Safari Lodge to enjoy a three-course “Canadian” and “bear” themed dinner prepared by the Zoo's award-winning culinary team. During dinner, there will be presentations led by members of the Animal Care, Health and Welfare team to talk about their work caring for both the grizzly and the black bears. As ambassadors for their species, their stories have taught millions of visitors about living safely alongside wild bears. Join and support wildlife conservation. The Zoo will require all visitors ages 12 years and older to provide proof of one of the following before being permitted entry: Government-issued proof of COVID-19 double vaccination (between September 20 to October 25, proof of a single dose will be accepted if given two or more weeks prior to attendance); Proof of a negative COVID-19 test, taken within the previous 72 hours (either PCR or Rapid Test); or documentation of a medical exemption. Those who are unable to show proof of one of the items listed above will be denied entry. This applies to all visitors, membership holders and ticket holders.
