The famous Calgary zoo is situated in Bridgeland, Calgary, Canada. It is easily accessible through Calgary’s C-Train light railway or even by bicycle and foot via the Bow River route. Much of the zoo’s area is situated on St. George’s Island in the Bow River. The zoo comes under the administration of the Calgary Zoological Society and remains home to almost 800 animals, excluding fish and invertebrate species. It spans over 120 acres and is segregated into six distinct visitor areas such as the Destination Africa, Penguin Plunge, Eurasia and Prehistoric Park amongst others. If you are planning a trip down, do not hesitate as the zoo remains open every single day, apart from Christmas Day! An established zoo with tons of accolades such as TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice in 2015 and one of the top three most respected organisations in Alberta, this is certainly one to visit with your entire family!
