Here are some of our favourite jokes to come out of April Fools’ Day in Calgary

The clock has stuck noon, which means you can finally let your guard down regarding April Fools’ Day jokes and pranks. As usual, Calgarians had lots of fun with the spoof holiday, and even the Curiocity team got some gags in. (You didn’t really believe in Beaver Coast, the four-day work week, or Rodeo Skies, did you?)

Now that the chaos is over, it’s time to laugh at some of the best, most creative jokes posted online for April Fools’ Day.

YYC Calgary International Airport

No, the Calgary airport isn’t changing its name in honour of Tate McCrae. But it has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?

The Calgary Zoo

Possibly the cutest April Fools’ Joke to come out of 2025. House Hippo, you’ll always exist in my heart.

Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute

This not-for-profit captures plenty of fascinating animals on their camera traps, but the elusive Bigfoot isn’t one of them. At least, not yet.

Milk Jar Candle Company

From the minds behind the wickless candle comes a new April Fools’ product. However, I’ve seen those Stanley Cup TikTok influencers use similar contraptions, so maybe this one isn’t too far-fetched.

Leopold’s Tavern

The hot dog menu may be a joke, but commenters seem pretty into it. The Octo-Glizzy Mac & Cheese practically screams best-seller.

BeaverTails

While it looks pretty atrocious, I think we all know a ketchup fanatic who would be willing to try the Toma-Tail.

Devon + Lang

This Calgary underwear company kept the pranks in-house by switching the boss’s Diet Coke with pickle juice and butterbeer. General warning: Only try this if you know your boss can take a joke.

Boogies Burgers

The burger milkshake may be a farce, but it seems the Boogies team did actually make one for this post. This begs the question: Was there a soul brave enough to drink/eat it afterwards?
