The bustling, fun, multinational Canadian city of Calgary seems to be specially created for long-awaited family trips towards incredible adventures. Aesthetes and admirers of modern architecture will appreciate the specular skyscrapers touching the endless blue sky with their roofs. Fans of history and antiquity will unravel all secrets of the «cowboy town». And the most demanding travelers will find thousands of fantastic entertainments in this fabulous place. Parks, attractions, and cinemas beckon little tourists who adore all these things. But the foremost treasure of Calgary is the city zoo where no child will refuse to go.

Established in 1929, the Calgary Zoo quickly won universal love and recognition. It topped various international ratings more than once. It is also considered one of the best zoos in the world. The spacious area of over 90 acres is divided into several thematic zones, including the TransAlta Rainforest and the African Savannah, the Canadian Wilds and the Land of Lemurs. It is inhabited by giant African hippos and mountain zebras, lions and giraffes, boas and turtles, a couple of toothy crocodiles and dozens of funny monkeys. All of them live in roomy enclosures of well-equipped pavilions under the watchful gaze of the caring staff and exotic animal experts. In open aviaries of the Canadian Wilds, you can see foxes and wolves, huge bison, pumas and grizzly bears, numerous otters and ibex. Children especially love the Land of Lemurs because of these small curious animals that you can come close to. They also enjoy visiting Penguin Plunge with Humboldt penguins and King penguins. Besides, there is Prehistoric Park with giant life-size figures of dinosaurs, including the most dangerous predators loved by all children: Tyrannosaurus rex, pterodactyl, cute long-necked herbivorous dinosaur.
