Reviews for The Calgary Zoo
Fantastic experience and venue
They were super flexible and very helpful when something went a little sideways. It was a beautiful venue and made the day extremely special.
5 Star Venue - Highly Recommend
Beautiful photo opportunities
Let me tell you, FOOD is Amazing
The venue itself is breathtaking. If you've been to the Calgary Zoo, you already know how beautiful the place is, so no need for much explanation there. But let me talk about the food! Oh my goodness, the food was incredible! I did a trial at the Safari Grill before the wedding, and honestly, the brunch there was just okay. So, I was a bit concerned. However, the food served at our reception was exceptional. Our guests, friends, and family raved about it, everyone saying how amazing the food was.
I'm very happy about choosing the Calgary Zoo. The venue was stunning, the pricing was well within our budget, the wedding package made my planning phase less stressful, and the staff were friendly and professional. Everyone, including us, had an absolutely fantastic time.
It was perfect!
Beautiful venue!

Exceptional Service and Value
The most magical place to get married
The food was incredible - our guests are still raving about it. The poutine bar and appetizers were amazing! Our bartenders and servers were all incredible professional and kind, and we so appreciated them spending their NYE with us.
Our guests being able to attend Zoo lights was the cherry on top of an already incredible sundae! If you're considering Calgary venues, the Zoo should be top of your list!
