Calgary Zoo has tried very hard to attract people and funding/support for many of its different exhibits. Most recently was the addition of the Pandas with the redone Eurasia section with the Komodo dragons and the new suspension bridge. Very children friendly, with lots of spots to eat a picnic and play at one of the many children's parks. The yearly membership is a very good value even if you only plan to visit once very couple of months. They also have some lovely planting beds and greenhouses.
