The Penguin Walk is Cancelled for Today: January 17

The Penguin Walk, presented by WestJet, has been cancelled for today, January 17, due to windy conditions. We are hopeful to resume the walk tomorrow (weather permitting).

Malayan Tapirs: Our Malayan tapirs will not be viewable on Tuesday, January 28th, and Wednesday, January 29th, while their habitat undergoes maintenance.

Land of Lemurs Walkthrough & Outdoor Gorilla Amphitheatre: The two outdoor animal viewing areas are closed for the season. Lemurs and gorillas will be viewable in their indoor habitats.

African Savannah Yard: Our Hartmann’s mountain zebras and ostriches are off-view  while we complete exciting upgrades in the African Savannah Yard, including the construction of a new Savannah Barn for the animals. Our giraffe tower will continue to be viewable throughout the project.
