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. For young kids or old this is a top attractionWritten 18 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LeaHouston, TX97 contributionsWe had such a peaceful visit coming here! There's paid parking available across the road, and a small bridge connecting the two together make it great for a leisure walk. There's cute little sculptures around the park, so see if you can find them along your trail! Plenty of benches to rest on, so you can also watch the cute little ducks waddle around or maybe a squirrel climb a tree. All in all, this was a great stop to smell the roses as some would say.Written 10 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Darryl D6 contributionsIt's been twenty years since I last toured the galleries. The addition of the Naval Museum makes this a great afternoon out.
Although I have never been to the War Museum in Ottawa which honours Canada's extensive military past, but from what i see here at the museum today , it makes me feel like if its almost as good on smaller scale . Very educational indeed.Written 17 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The grounds are very beautiful, immaculately maintained. There are some good (though pricey) options for food and drink, as well as some souvenir shops focused on horse riding memorabilia, as well as the professional soccer club (Calgary Cavalry) which plays its home games at the premises.
I did enjoy once again the experience of watching the horses jumping and walking around the very picturesque premises, especially after the grounds were basically closed for a couple of years due to covid. It is one of a type kind of experience in Calgary, and a great activity for children too!Written 15 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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 12 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Moochie-La-LaCalgary, Canada481 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 6 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael M2 contributionsWas a return visit and it holds up as my favorite music museum. International superstars are interspersed with Canadian stars this American isn’t familiar with. Very interactive; I could have spent all day learning guitar from Randy Bachmann video and playing with other instruments. Nice performance space for shows. A real gemWritten 27 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
