We had a great time at Guzoo. Lynn and his family take amazing care of the animals. I am a huge animal lover and love that they care for injured, rescued and newborn animals. Where else can someone get the chance to interact with a baby cougar in a safe and caring environment. Thank you for all the hard work you do and for saving the animals. They look happier, healthier and are breeding more then any city zoo I've ever been too.

I started volunteering at Guzoo to help the animals and I like to think I did. Their quality of life did get better , the animals greeted me , they knew me and I am thankful I was able to help them a more then others could. I am also thankful to have been able to lots of the experiences I had with the animals and with my kids with the animals. We had a lot of nice times at Guzoo and some not so nice experiences. The idea of Guzoo is a wonderful one but it was never at its full potential and in the end I think it was probably a really good thing for the Guzoo to have closed down. I will never forget the times I had there.
This was the best zoo ever. I spend a great deal of my childhood here and have a ton of pleasant memories. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I learned and experienced a lot here. None of the animals here were mistreated. I was especially impressed with how they housed the chinchillas. The enclosure was situated so that guests could get a good look at them, but not disturb them. If they ever reopen I will support them 110%.
Here's the deal with the negative reviews. There is a group of people who want to shut down zoos. They Tried to get Lucy the Elephant removed from the Edmonton Zoo, and frequently advocate vegetarianism. I have met some of them, and the Guzoo is one of their favorite targets, as it is the largest privately owned zoo in Canada. I grew u in the area, and have been here hundreds of times. The Alberta Zoo Standards Committee has no problem with the Guzoo. There have been minor things over the years that as standards have changed, have needed to be been fixed, but these are quickly dealt with. The biggest complaints are two fold. One is injured animals. Talk to the owner of you see these. Chickens are a common injured animal, as they peck each other. Certain animals lose hair or horns at certain times of a year. There can be bleeding involved. The second issue I hear centres around dead animals in cages. You need to realize that this is a Farm. Goats, cows die, and other animals die. These animals are recycled by being fed to the wolves, etc. Neighbors bring in road kill to feed to the lions. This is nature. People raised on a farm do not have issue with the Guzoo. The people who have issues with the Guzoo are activists, people who do not understand the cycle of life.
Those that one starred this place clearly have never cared for animals or really looked around the big city zoo's, heck half of the low scores with no comments are likely from the same person that has been harassing this place for the last few years. Yes there was a deer carcass in the wolves cage area - but what do you think wolves eat? I really like this place and found it a great way to teach children about animals. Yes, there is poop in the pens, shockingly, animals poop and most poop a lot! I didn't see any excessive piles of mess in any of the pens, all the animals look well fed and well cared for. I have been there a few times now, and will continue to support this place as long as I see that they continually are bettering it and taking good care of the animals.
Wonderful place, wonderful people, and wonderful animals. They have done so much for the community and rescuing animals. Im so glad they are around. They took our cat in once cause we could no longer have her, and they adopted her out to a good family. They have done this for so many other animals as well. Thank-you Lynn!
I love this place!!! Lynne thank you so much for this experience my son learned so much about lemur's and protecting the environment I can not thank you enough. I have brought many people here and will continue to do so. You love your animals and I can tell your so passionate about educating the public regarding them. You are amazing thank you again
These people are animal hoarders. If you like the idea of PUPPY MILLS YOU WILL LOVE THIS PLACE. It is just plan dirty and sad. This place should be shut down and the animals given to better zoos. If you think this place deserves 5 stars you probably live in filth as well and feel right at home.
