Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!
Oh Calgary Zoo! I've been here countless times and experienced it with many friends and family.
If you've been to bigger zoo's like I have, its hard not to compare your experience here from them, but the reality is, its Calgary and not a city with more than 4 million people in it. The Calgary zoo is fun! The Calgary zoo doesn't have the best selection of food but it has SCREAMERS! a wicked combination of soft serve ice cream and "slurpee" or flavoured crushed ice haha. And these are the two reasons why I go to the zoo. Mind you, I usually only do the screamer trip once every 2 or 3 years because paying for entry and a screamer ever day is really luxurious haha.
I've lived in Calgary most of my life and sometimes I get bored of doing the same things and going to the same places time and time again, but this city is what you make of it and Calgary's got a great zoo that everyone can experience in a whole new light every time :) In fact, here's a random list of reasons why you should visit the Calgary Zoo:
1. Seeing animals up close is a lot better than watching them on TV
2. They have penguins now!
3. girls love animals guys! a great date idea - Get your Tarzan on!
4. Screamers and sooooo good! and you can't get them anywhere else in Calgary
5. Zoo lights in the winter!
6. because Drumheller is a lot farther away haha (I love you Drumheller!)
7. its like a sanctuary in the middle of the city; have a peaceful walk.
One of the best things about the Calgary Zoo is it's really easy to get to. How many zoos in the world have this kind of accessibility?
Thanks for always being there Calgary Zoo and I hope you are for future generations to come.
