The Edmonton Valley Zoo is celebrating devoted dads this Father’s Day weekend!
Bring your fantastic father figure to the zoo for a day of fun with rides, games, and more. Make a special gift for dad and watch our animal families get their own special enrichment treats throughout the day. Join our education team to find out how a day of family fun supports conservation.
Tickets are available 2 weeks in advance.
General admission and memberships apply. The Edmonton Valley Zoo recommends all patrons, including members, purchase and reserve their timed entry for each visit. Reserving in advance will guarantee admission and avoid line-ups.
The Edmonton Valley Zoo is proud to present Wildlife Rescue: Second Chance at Survival! This is a travelling exhibit of 12 detailed, climbable animal sculptures showcasing tales of conservation and reintroduction to the wild. Wildlife Rescue was created by Little Ray’s Exhibitions and will be displayed for a limited engagement through September 15.
