It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

We would love to see you and your family at the Calgary Zoo for the Zoo Lights on December 1stat 6 pm (if you want to arrive earlier you can as gates for Zoo Lights open after 5pm but our volunteers will be there to greet people at 6 at the entrance and venue will open at 6:30). This event is for all ages and all family members are welcome!

For $15 dollars per person, you will get admission to the Zoo Lights, as well as a hot chocolate beverage and a cookie! We have booked Grazers for our group to warm up, connect with others and enjoy the snacks from 6:30-7:30 pm. Look for our group at Grazers, which is located in the Dorothy Harvie Gardens area.

Please be aware that drinks and snacks are complimentary and we don’t have options for those with food allergies. Other options might be available for purchase at the Zoo or you can bring your own. Kids under 3 years old can access for FREE (no ticket is required). Calgary Zoo honors the Access 2 Pass card, so if you have one, please have it available for the event as we will not get an admission ticket for you. If you would like a drink and cookie for the Access 2 Pass holder, you must purchase a ticket from Ups and Downs so we can include you in that count.

Parking cost is not included in this ticket. Members will enter through the North Entrance or check at options using the C-Trian.

TO ENTER THE PARK ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT: Please head towards the corporate events access lane (you can ask Zoo staff for it and mention you are with our group). You may need to show your Ups and Downs tickets to get access to the park and avoid the general admission line.

Registration closes on November 23rd. Do you have additional questions? Feel free to email us at programcoordinator@upsdowns.org or director@upsdowns.org

Information above is for Current Members. Not a member? Don’t worry, you are welcome to join us and have the best time! Prices for non-members are at $25. Please email for more information and tickets at director@upsdowns.org

Reminder:  If the cost of this event is an issue for you and your immediate family, please email us as this qualities for the Ups and Downs Subsidy Program which can be used towards this event.
