Calgary Zoo Zoolights
$10 Adults, $7 Kids – Parking Free
6p-9p Nightly From Late November to Early January

For families in Calgary, the Christmas season wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Calgary Zoo for their annual Zoolights display.

We packed up the wagon, and bundled up the boys for an hour or so walk around the grounds.

Some things to remember: apart from the Conservatory, the gift shop, and the cafeteria, this is an outdoor event so dress accordingly. Evening temperatures in Calgary can drop quickly, so warm clothing is a must.

None of the animal displays are open, so don’t get the kids’ hopes up they’ll see any – this is a walk in the park with light displays.

There are bonfires set up throughout the grounds to warm up, there’s a fun field of snow with hay to toss, puzzles to do, and styrofoam igloos to build. There’s also a video link to Santa for kids to have a chat with the big guy.

Don’t forget your non-perishable food bank donation. Collection bins are located near the Penguin Plunge exhibit and you’ll receive a 2 for 1 admission for a future visit to The Calgary Zoo.
