Hygge Hut - pronounced “hoo-ga” - is the East Village's Scandinavian-style space inspired by the Danish idea of Hygge, which means a special kind of well-being - a cozy, easy togetherness. This season, Hygge Hut was reimagined to be bigger, better, and cozier than ever and has a new home in C-Square! There are weekly interactive live ice carving demonstrations, pop-up food trucks, hot chocolate, fireside storytimes, community dog walks, live music, and no shortage of good company! Check out the website for weekly programming and pop-up activities. (You’ll know you’re in the right place when the familiar smell of campfire hits your nose and gives you all the camping and nature feels without having to leave the city.) Hygge Hut is open Fridays, 2 to 6pm, Saturdays, Sundays, and Statutory Holidays Noon to 6pm until March.

The Calgary Zoo is starting the year off with waddle! The 2022 Penguin Walk, presented by RE/MAX, marks the 10th year of the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo's penguin walk. During the winter months, the king penguin colony heads out on zoo grounds for a daily enrichment walk to keep their brains and bodies healthy and visitors get to experience the fun! This incredible program allows you to get an up-close look at the group of king penguins as they explore, exercise, and waddle their way through the zoo. This is a free-choice activity for the penguins and is subject to weather conditions and animal inclination.

Animals in the wild have a very close relationship as predators and prey. Prey evolve to better escape, hide, and avoid their predators, while predators evolve to better find and catch their food. Learn all about these fascinating relationships. Visit Investigation Stations hosted by volunteers and partner organizations. Learners of all ages and abilities are welcome!
