Calgary Zoo: Ongoing West Gate Closure
Big changes are underway at the Calgary Zoo!
Exploration Asia is undergoing exciting renovations to create larger, more dynamic habitats and inspire even stronger connections between people and wildlife.
As part of this work, the seasonal West Gate, typically open from spring through fall, will remain closed this year. It is expected to reopen later in the 2028/2029 season.
During this time, all Zoo access will be through the main North Gate entrance.
