it's a nice place to visit not only for kids but for adults who love animals as well. i went here alone, and it was nice to have a walk and see the animals at the same time. sadly,the pandas are gone, but i got to see them before they're gone.
The Calgary Zoo is quite fun. This zoo has many American animal resources. The whole zoo is also very beautiful. The design of each area is relatively reasonable. The number of animals in the zoo is also quite rich. You can have a good visit here.

The bird sanctuary is quite large. It is also a famous sanctuary in Calgary. Basically, everyone likes the horizontal natural structure. You won’t see any shops here. You need to prepare relevant food and water. Most of the birds are wild species, and they are very cute.
I was a little skeptical at first that I would see many birds here since it is so close to the city. But I was pleasantly surprised! We saw so many birds and other wildlife here. Bring your camera and take a quiet hike, listen to the lovely birdsong, and see some unique birds here. The view of the Bow River is also beautiful.
