Polar Bear Breakfast
Polar Bear Breakfast gets families into the Calgary Zoo before the day starts. Guests enter the Wild Canada area at 8 AM, hear a zoo educator talk about polar bears, and watch the bears from 8:30 AM before the public arrives. Breakfast follows at 9:30 AM, a buffet at Kitamba Café with fresh fruit and pancakes, and the ticket includes full zoo admission afterward, so the morning rolls straight into a regular zoo day. Children 3 to 15 pay $61 and kids 2 and under are free. It runs rain or shine, the bears are still being reintroduced so both may not be out, and online sales close two days before.
