Open May 1 – Oct 9, 2017
Meet the Newest Addition to our Family!
Here she is! Our adorable little Berkeley Bear, a 3 month old Kodiak female cub. She is stealing our hearts and will steal yours too! Visit us soon – she won’t stay small for long!
Why Visit? We Are Different!!
Discovery Wildlife Park provides permanent homes for unfortunate wildlife – orphans that cannot be released back into the wild, exotic pets that have been kept illegally as well as unwanted pets. These animals are in crisis! Many would be euthanized if we could not take them in. We are constantly building new enclosures so if a situation develops, we have the ability to take in an animal on short notice. Our Park does not breed animals – most of our family are same sex roommates or neutered. We receive so many animals that are in need of a home that breeding is not an option.
We believe that conservation begins with educating people. We also believe people’s experiences with animals will develop into a passion for conservation. By providing daily animal presentations, Discovery Wildlife Park focuses on this conservation message and gives our visitors an opportunity to learn more about each species.
Come for a life-changing experience….You will help make a difference in an animal’s life!!

My husband and I went there thinking it was just another zoo, but it was a fantastic experience we will remember for a long time. The bears are fantastic!

We just arrived home from a visit to your park and I was totally amazed at the Bear Show. We had no idea and we have lived in Alberta all our lives. We enjoyed the whole outing with our son and grandchildren. I must tell our friends & relatives, Thank you!

My boyfriend and I came down for the day on Sunday. Had a great time, so many animals to see and the staff were great. We paid extra to go on the “behind the scenes big cat tour” which was very worth the extra money. The staff filled us in on so much information that we didn’t know about these animals. This is by far my favorite zoo to come to! Thanks!

We were at the park this May long weekend and had so much fun. The animals were amazing and so were the trainers. We learned a lot! What a wonderful place! A must see!

I just wanted to send a note of thanks to you, the staff and trainers at the Discovery Wildlife Park! My husband, daughter and I were there today and our visit was fantastic! We were very surprised at how closely we were able to view the animals. Their enclosures are very large – which is nice for them as well as for us to view them. The trainers and shows were fantastic. Very informative& planned out among the crowd. It was also nice that you have their voices on speaker so no matter where you were you could follow the show.
The bear presentation was a favorite – we got a family picture with the larger Kodiak. Absolutely amazing to hear the movies & commercials your bears have been involved with and to see their abilities was truly amazing.
You are all very fortunate and talented to be working with such beautiful creatures on a daily basis and we are fortunate that you allow us to enjoy your work as well. Thank you again, we will be back for sure!
