The zoo itself looked dismal. Attractions were closed or being dug up. The animals looked positvely sad. Especially the bald eagle who sat in a puddle of water and made a sad squawking noise. The Emu looked positively lifeless collapsed on the floor of a glass cage. Most of the animals are behind wire or glass not a simulated natural environment of the more wonderful zoo's like Taraonga in Sydney.

horrible
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/12/07
boring just like everywhere else my child was scared by the prhistoric park and the souviniers were overpriced and poorly made i won't go back anytime soon
The animals were great and our 4yr old son enjoyed it but got really tired from the walking we were doing b/c I really think the building and signs should be WELL marked out. It would be nice if maybe there was some type of self tour you could clearly follow to see everything. We spent 4 hours there and some of that time was re-walking the same ...

Good..

The animals were fun to see and learn about. Information was provided for those interested in reading about the animals. The butterfly garden is by far my favourite area in the Calgary Zoo. The food was enjoyable, and the playgrounds were fun for the children.
I would recommend this for one day, but it's not worth coming back. I don't suggest you buy a season pass.
