🦒🐾 Calgary Zoo: A Wild Weekend Adventure!

First Visit in a Decade—Totally Worth the Wait! After 10+ years in Alberta, I finally explored Calgary Zoo—here’s why it’s a local gem: 🌿 Zoo Highlights Up-Close Encounters: Feed giraffes 🦒, watch penguins waddle 🐧, and lock eyes with owls! Panda Missing: Sadly, the giant pandas have returned to China, but other stars shine: African Savannah: Lions and zebras 🦓 roam near visitors. Arctic Zone: Playful otters and majestic polar bears 🐻❄️. 🚶♀️ My Adventure Perfect Timing: A warm, pre-winter weekend 🔆 made walking 10k steps a breeze! Photo Diary: Captured monkeys swinging 🐒 and peacocks flaunting 🦚. 💡 Pro Tips ⏰ Timing: Arrive early to avoid crowds. Gear: Wear comfy shoes and a hat—sunshine can be intense! 📸 Photo Hack: Visit the “Penguin Plunge” at feeding time for cute clips 🐧🍴. Calgary Zoo proves nature’s magic is just a drive away. Even without pandas, it’s a 10/10 day! 🍁❤️ #CalgaryZoo #AnimalEncounters #WeekendFun
