Calgary Wilder Institute Zoo Admission Ticket

Explore Animals with Your Family

The Calgary Wilder Institute Zoo is the perfect place for families. Located on St. George's Island, it's just a 5-minute drive from downtown Calgary and 20 minutes from Calgary International Airport. Discover over 4,000 animals from around the world. 

Penguin Walk

Since the arrival of the penguins in 2012, a special event is held at the zoo. Every winter, emperor penguins can be seen walking outside their habitat along the King Penguin Walk inside the zoo. The available times vary depending on the penguins' condition and the weather, but if possible, visit the location at 10:30 AM on available days. 

A Space for Children

In addition to animals, the zoo has shopping areas, restaurants, and a small playground for children. Shop for souvenirs such as dolls, toys, games, and books to cherish the memories long after you return home. The small playground for children is located in Bugtopia, so you can have a fun time at the zoo.
