items We've previously enjoyed a brilliant family trip to Calgary, known as the gateway to the Rockies, and loved our time here. It makes a great jumping off point for exploring the wider area including Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper. We've covered our prev...
A fantastic world renowned event not to be missed. A 10 day event featuring rodeo's, entertainment, live music and a carnival. This is a bucket list event! You can also check out a number of other smaller local events that run throughout the year!
Calgary Stampede
A brilliant shopping mall located right in the heart of Calgary. A great spot to get some shopping in while you're in town.
The Core Shopping Mall
A landmark in downtown Calgary with an observation tower and a rotating restaurant at the top. We loved our meal here and it's a great way to enjoy the view without paying for the observation deck entrance fee!
Calgary Tower
A lovely square in downtown Calgary. Perhaps not what it once was, but worth the visit to see the Olympic Rings located here.
Olympic Plaza
Our favourite spot in the city. It's an easy walk from downtown to the park, across the bridges into the park. A lovely spot to wander, a great kids playground and nice little cafe too. Make sure you don't miss this.
Prince's Island Park
An iconic sculpture in downtown Calgary. An easy one to take in as you're wandering so make sure not to miss it.
Wonderland Sculpture
Perhaps the best thing we did during our time in Calgary. We headed out to the winter sports venues on the edge of the city where in the summer the luge track is converted into downhill karting. This was so much fun!
Downhill Karting by Skyline
Visit the Olympic Park on the edge of the city. In the summer enjoy go-karting, mountain biking and crazy golf. In the winter enjoy all your classic winter sports!
Canada Olympic Park
A brilliant automotive museum featuring old vehicles and artifacts. This isn't our thing but is billed as one of the top things to do in Calgary.
Gasoline Alley Museum
A fantastic science museum which is great for the whole family to do enjoy. A great option on a rainy day!
TELUS Spark Science Centre
A brilliant option if you love country music. With some great exhibits this is another that's great for the whole family.
Canadian Music Hall Of Fame
