Calgary Zoo and Prehistoric Park

On St George's Island in the Bow River, at 1300 Zoo Rd. N. E., lies the Calgary Zoo, founded in 1912. The owners are particularly proud of their many examples of rare and threatened species of animals as well as of the adjoining botanical gardens. In a prehistoric theme park stand numerous replicas of animals which lived in south-western Canada millions of years ago.

Spring is always a fun time at the zoo with the arrival of new born animals. The Zoo features a Destination Africa section, Canadian Wilds, South America, Australia and Creatures of the Night.
