Sightseeing
Founded in 1929, the Calgary Zoo is one of the city’s favourite family destinations. With deep roots spanning over 9-decades, we are internationally recognized for world-class animal care and habitat design practices and take pride in inspiring and educating generations of visitors about the importance of biodiversity and conservation during visits.
For the last 30-years, we have led critical wildlife conservation work through the Calgary Zoo campus, the rural Wildlife Conservation Centre, as well as across Canada and around the world.
As the Calgary Zoo continues our journey to be Canada’s leader in wildlife conservation, we are pleased to introduce the world to the Wilder Institute. The kind of conservation organization the world needs now.
The Wilder Institute oversees the Calgary Zoo’s conservation portfolio, locally and globally, and will continue to be a force of nature for making the world a wilder place.
The Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo is among the world-class zoos and aquariums that have achieved the rigorous accreditation standards governing zoo operations. We are proud to hold membership of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) and the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA). Visitors to accredited facilities, like ours, can be assured their visit is supporting institutions that provide the highest-quality animal care and are contributing to conservation initiatives that save animals from extinction.
Comprised of 125 acres, the zoo consists of animal habitats, restaurants, retail, seasonal concessions, playgrounds, banquet rooms, corporate meeting facilities, animal veterinary services, classrooms and an administration building.

Food scene
Welcome to LDV Pizza Bar! LDV stands for La Dolce Vita-
The Sweet Life- and life is sweet at LDV where a cozy bar atmosphere
combined with an Italian inspired menu of delicious thin crust
pizza (baked in our imported wood burning oven), tasty appetizers,
soul-satisfying pastas, hearty entrees and delectable desserts
provide the perfect ambiance for all occasions or just
when you want to “hang out” after a long day.
LDV Pizza Bar is the inspiration of the Cosentino family; Rocco,
Catherine and Maria who chose to follow in their father Franco’s
footsteps – the chef extraordinaire of La Dolce Vita Ristorante for
many years.
The operations at LDV Pizza Bar have now passed to the capable
hands of Claudio Carnali and his wife May who are well suited to
continue the tradition.
Claudio Carnali is no stranger to the Calgary restaurant scene, having
been the owner of the respected Da Paolo Ristorante, Il Gallo Nero Bar
and Grill followed by a successful 4 year run at Buon Giorno
Ristorante. And Claudio just happened to work as maitre’d for
Franco at his landmark La Dolce Vita Ristorante in the early ‘90’s
making this a made-to-order homecoming of sorts!!!!!!!
