I love the Calgary Zoo, lots and lots to see. I’m hoping they get a chance to show off the polar bear cubs as I’ve heard that they will be going on tour. I’m lucky, as my daughter and family live in Calgary so the zoo is often a place to visit with my grandchildren when I’m there visiting them.
I haven’t been to the Calgary zoo for about 10 years I thinks its time to revisit
