Ellis Bird Farm - Experience nature and learn something too!

This was one of the best day trips we did this summer.  The Ellis Bird Farm is a great destination for exploring nature and would be appropriate for many grade levels.


Bugs and crawlies - learn about the eco system in a pond


The visitor center

Find your creature on the chart 

Scoop out your very own swamp goop


Hrmmm - can you eat any of these?

Close up of the rabbit - maybe the other end?

A porcupine!



Guess who?


Time to feed the sheep

Goats need feeding too, yuh know..

Aren't you a bit big to be feeding with a bottle?

"Watcha got in the bag, there?"


A big thumbs up for this attraction!

Other recommended spots on the way back to Calgary:
