View of the Biergarten Bandstand at the Calgary Zoo. The Biergarten was built in 1912 but the sale of alcohol was illegal at the time so the structure became a teahouse with a dance hall on the second storey. The building was demolished in 1963 to make way for the Tropical Aviary and Conservatory. The statue of Dinny the Dinosaur is visible to the right of the Biergarten. Also visible to the rear of the statue is a cannon.
