Awesome zoo! Love that they have little information sessions and training viewing for the public too.

Buy tickets online in advance to save a few bucks and the train comes directly here too!

This Zoo is very nice. I have been to two zoos in Canada - Greater Vancouver Zoo and Calgary Zoo. I liked Calgary zoo better. All the people working here care about the animals. I visited here with my baby nephew and he enjoyed the so much. Great place spend time, especially when the whether is nice. It is a huge place and you need some time to see them all.
