I seem to remember as a really little kid in the early '70's that you had to walk over a swinging bridge to get into the Calgary Zoo. I could be remembering it wrong and thinking of another zoo, but pretty sure it was Calgary. I also remember they used to let you sit on the dinosaur sculptures in the park there and get your picture taken. A few years later when my brother got old enough to go you couldn't touch the sculptures anymore, and the last time I went (about '99 or so) to take my little cousin the swinging bridge was no longer there.(if it ever was. getting old is a biotch)
Before the actual Prehistoric Park was built they had a bunch of "Dinny-like" Dinosaur sculptures in the actual zoo - over by where the tigers and stuff are now. You could sit on those and what not.
