Get the VIP treatment at this fancy adults-only night at the Calgary Zoo
COVID-19 continues to present a risk to public health. While restrictions have been lifted across Alberta, it is recommended to continue practicing health and safety measures, including frequent hand-washing, wearing a mask on public transit, at City facilities, and in healthcare settings, and staying home if you are sick.
If you’ve ever wanted a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of the zoo, now’s your chance.
And this won’t be your ordinary sneak-peek either, as guests will be given the VIP treatment while they’re at this ultra-fancy adults-only night at the Calgary Zoo.
In celebration of the conservation work that the Calgary Zoo does locally and globally, they’re throwing a party – and anyone over the age of 18 can purchase tickets to attend this chic event.
