Vast fenced in areas I think are fine but not cages or enclosures with cement floors..

That sorta kinda is the plan. The horrible Prehistoric Park (the one place totally isolated from the friggin flood) is going to be phased out and that area is going to be redone properly with actual animals. A big Seal exhibit is/was planned. IIRC they were planning a huge glass tunnel under the Seal's enclosure where they could swim all around you. Presumably with Kiss from a Rose playing on a loop.
Who knows where this all stands now, they lost an old building, but a building that housed a lot of creatures. I hope they try to get all those guys back but all these plans could be put on the back burner because it really seems the Calgary Zoo is in dire straights here.
