We had a spare day in Calgary before we picked up the RV and it was a fantastic way to spend it. The park is wonderful and the staff are very nice and informative the restaurant was good and the cafes the same. They have a proper steam train going through the park.

- 2014JandyCalgary, Canada7,762 contributionsVisited the museum after attending an Event and was really surprised just how much there is to see.
It was easy to walk around with a stroller and a nice play space if you have young children with you.
Good washrooms facilities on all floors.
Well worth a visit if you are heading for Heritage Park.Written May 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The soccer grounds are good and lots of vendors for food and craft beers. The gift shop is fun but a bit expensive. The only negative that I see is the complicated public transit to get there. They should have a public bus or a shuttle from the Somerset Bridge wood LRT station.Written May 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TennisStar602New Jersey659 contributionsSince it was difficult to park in Calgary, I found it very advantageous to walk around this major city. Once I parked my car, I became a pedestrian. There were many paths in which to walk throughout the city and I enjoyed the great gardening skills exhibited throughout Calgary. The architecture of the skyscrapers and of the residential buildings were fascinating. There were also many waterways to cross by a number of bridges.Written July 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Moochie-La-LaCalgary, Canada650 contributionsPoles and clamps for your footwear would be helpful but we managed with runners and hiking boots. The creek is frozen with some open patches of slow-running water: just gorgeous ice crystals along the edges of the open water spots! We enjoyed walking on the creek for an unique view that is normally inaccessible to foot traffic.Written January 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rachel CMidland, TX21 contributionsEnjoyed the walk down Stephen’s Avenue. Our hotel was about four blocks from the avenue. We stopped at the tower to see the city from a top level. The snow capped mountains were beautiful at a distance to see. We saw law enforcement officers and felt safe as three women walking. We did come across two people that seemed to be on mind altering drugs…. But we diverted our path from them and were not bothered by them. Numerous choices of restaurants and shop. We ended up taking the free bus transportation for the final leg of our walk back to our hotel.
We also shopped at both of the farmers markets and they were fabulous.Written May 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
