See the polar bears
The Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo’s beloved Canadian Wilds experience has been redeveloped and has re-opened as Wild Canada. Wild Canada takes visitors on a journey through seven of Canada’s ecological zones, celebrating the wonder and diversity of a world where people, animals and the land are connected.
Explore more than 15 extraordinary Canadian species in expansive habitats, including six newly renovated habitats for muskox, bighorn sheep, woodland caribou, North American river otters, whooping cranes and the Jihad Shibley Rocky Mountain Aviary. Plus, the brand-new, world-class polar bear habitat will leave you in awe of this magnificent species.
