Edmonton Valley Zoo, Urban zoo in Edmonton, Canada.
Edmonton Valley Zoo is a facility housing over 350 animals from different regions across landscaped grounds. The grounds are organized with pathways, rest areas, and various enclosures near the North Saskatchewan River.
The facility opened in 1959 as Edmonton Storyland Zoo and has undergone several expansions and renovations since then. These changes reflect how the zoo adapted to evolving standards in animal care.
The zoo runs educational programs where visitors learn about wildlife protection and the importance of natural habitats. These activities help people connect with the animals in meaningful ways.
The zoo is easy to reach and offers free parking for visitors. There are marked pathways throughout the grounds, and comfortable shoes are recommended since the site is explored on foot.
Red pandas, Arctic wolves, and capuchin monkeys live here in enclosures designed to mirror their natural habitats. These specially designed areas let the animals display more natural behaviors.
