Calgary Zoo - West Gate Closure
The Calgary Zoo’s seasonal West gate will close effective October 11, 2022. During the closure of West gate, eligible Calgary Zoo members who live in the communities of Inglewood and Ramsay are welcome to access the Zoo through the West Security entrance with their valid zoo membership AND special Community Pedestrian Pass.
If you don’t already have a Pedestrian Pass, please confirm your eligibility for the pass by emailing ward09@calgary.ca, including a photo of your valid zoo membership and proof of address.
Reminders for how members can gain special access to the zoo when the West Gate is closed
Valid only for Inglewood and Ramsay residents who are valid zoo members. Proof of Zoo membership and address will be required.
Valid only for Day Admissions – Daily 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (during West gate closure only)
To gain access through the Security entrance, members must present both a valid membership card along with a valid Community Pedestrian Pass.
Access will not be granted without the presentation of both cards
If membership has expired, access through the security gate will not be granted. The Security Team does not have the capability to capture payment or complete transactions; however, this can be done at the north entrance gate, online or over the phone.
Access applies to pedestrians only; there is no public parking available.
Members entering at the Security gate are only able to bring a guest if they have a valid Guest membership or the guest presents a valid day admission ticket.
Members are not able to bring guests who are non-members without a valid day admission ticket 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 any evening events including ZOOLIGHTS (apart from our Inspire members)
ZOOLIGHTS SEASON
Eligible members will only gain access through our Security entrance up to 3:00pm daily during the Zoolights season (please visit our website for updated gates and building closure information)
Apart from our Inspire members, there will be no special member access during our evening Zoolights season.
The West Entrance to the Zoo is expected to reopen in the spring of 2023.
