I would like to take my wife and son on her birthday to Calgary to go to the Zoo and stay at a nice hotel nearby, for those that have been to the Zoo, is it like an all day thing or possible to get it done in a few hours? I just want to know how much time to allow for the zoo. Also what hotels do you recommend that are in the vicinity, looking for something nice since it is her bday and I am going to surprise her, haven't seen her in a month, and managed to get a couple of days of to go surprise her for her bday. Any advice or suggestions on things to do in Edmonton is greatly appreciated. Thanx,
