Hi Inglewood and Ramsay residents! The Ward 9 Office has received word from the Calgary Zoo that the West Gate will be closed effective Tuesday, October 9, 2018.
However, eligible Calgary Zoo members who live in Inglewood and Ramsay are able to pass through the Calgary Zoo’s Security entrance with their valid zoo membership and special Ward 9 Community Pedestrian Pass.
Please confirm your eligibility for the pass by contacting ward09@calgary.ca and include a photo of your valid zoo membership and proof of address.
A few reminders for how members gain special access to the zoo when the West Gate is closed
Valid only for Day Admissions – Daily 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (during West Gate closure only)
Inglewood and Ramsay residents who are valid zoo members must contact the Ward 9 Office to receive a Ward 9 Community Pedestrian Pass.
To gain access through the Security entrance, members must present both a valid membership card along with a valid Community Pedestrian Pass.
If a membership has expired, unfortunately access will not be granted. The Security Team is not able to renew memberships; this can be done at the north gate, online or over the phone.
Access applies to pedestrians only; there is no public parking available.
Members entering at the Security gate are not able to bring guests who are non-members as Security does not have the capability to capture payment or complete transactions.
As the Security Team does not have the capability to capture payment or complete transactions, there will be no special access for evening events including ZOOLIGHTS.
