===Dorothy Harvie Botanical Gardens and ENMAX Conservatory=== The outdoor gardens are among the zoo's most popular attractions and include the ''Dorothy Harvie Gardens''. The zoo's sheltered location supports many marginally hardy plant species. The conservatory comprises the indoor component of the zoo's gardens. It includes a number of "themed" areas such as the ''tropical garden'', the ''rainforest'', the ''arid garden'', and the ''butterfly garden''. A number of animals including birds and invertebrates are housed in the conservatory. The ENMAX Conservatory was completely renovated in 2009 and features an increased emphasis on teaching visitors the importance of plants and improving energy efficiency. The Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo achieved LEED ([[Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design]]) Gold in energy conservation and responsible building practices, the first facility of its kind to achieve this level of certification.
