Teddy Bear Clinic

Teddy Bear Clinic in Calgary offers playful plush-toy checkups that help children feel more comfortable with medical care. On September 27, 2026, little ones can bring a favourite stuffed toy to the Asia Lawn, where the zoo’s Animal Health team, educators and volunteers will make a doctor’s visit feel fun and approachable. Through an engaging, informative experience, children can learn why regular medical care matters for animals and people. The clinic runs from 9 a.m.–11 a.m. for members only, then from 11 a.m.–1 p.m. for all guests. Each stuffed-toy checkup requires a $5 donation, supporting a good cause while clearing up some of the mystery around medical appointments. Zoo admission is required, and guests can save on admission by purchasing tickets in advance.
