Cobbs Adventure Park in Calgary AB was definitely a great and fun place to visit !!!…read moreIt is a mix of zoo, activities, games and rides for the kids and family, a little restaurant and sweets stand :) The zoo is a bit of an animal farm with two capybaras, kangaroos and wallabies, sheep, goats, pigs, porcupines, emus, chickens / roosters and a turkey, and a sloth. Part of the experience is that, with the purchase of tickets, you can go into the capybara enclosure and meet the capys, feed and pet them. We are big fans of capybaras, we saw them in person at the Edmonton zoo, and follow many accounts on Instagram, but this was our first time meeting and petting them. They are super relaxed and super friendly. We had the opportunity to feed them fruits and greens, which was so funny!! We then visited the kangaroos and wallabies. Both were friendly, soft and used to humans. We visited with them, and fed them foods. We visited and interacted with the sheep and alpacas, which were also nice to see and pet. The staff of the park were very friendly and professional, and answered any questions visitors would have about animals. The ambiance was very nice - visiting with the animals, having a snack or busy with the games, it was a great day to enjoy the outdoors and animals!!

My son was turning six and I noticed he had been conducting experiments in the sink with soap and…read morepaint. I was impressed, in spite of the mess, and thought.... what better way to nurture an inquiring mind than having a fun Mad Science birthday party. Michelle Marsbar of Mad Science gave me a list of available dates and times and I chose one for 3.30pm. I sent her an email with the venue address and reconfirmed the time, I was told Mad Science would arrive 15 minutes before the start of the show to set-up. The day arrived with 23 kids and some parents eagerly awaiting the Mad Scientist.......the waiting went on for a maddening 30 minutes......... surely there must have been a car crash or some other earth shattering event to explain lateness of this magnitude..........I was near tearing out my hair as the kids got restless and a mutiny began to unfold....Quickly I remembered the gummy bears and tooth-picks. I have to thank a review of Mad Science I had read previously, describing this same scenario of Mad science "no-show" and how she had saved the day by getting the kids to do a project of building molecules from gummy bears and tooth-picks. That would probably never happen to me, I thought....they seem so organized. Buying those $4 packs of gummy bears was the best decision I ever made for the party. It kept the kids occupied until DNA Dylan finally arrived. I expected to see DNA Dylan limp in with a bloody gash and tales of woe....but he cheerfully explained the delay was caused by..... his words "crazy scheduling". There was no earthly way he could have made it from the party in Chestermere down to Strathcona on time for 3.30pm. He did the best he could, but we had to cut the show down, the dry ice show I had paid extra $75 for was virtually non-existent......I had expected the show to end with a bang but it just fizzled out. What an anticlimax!! We hurried to get the kids their pizzas and they gobbled their cupcakes down in a rush. Even at that, I still had a bunch of angry parents asking why the party had gone on later than stated on the invitation. My son barely had a chance to blow out his birthday candles, we felt harried and harassed. I wrote the company to complain the very next day. Michelle Mars Bar apologized and said she was new in Calgary and had misjudged the distances between Chestermere and Strathcona. It shouldn't take rocket science to figure this out, all she needed was a map! This is the last I've heard from MadScience and now I know exactly why they have the "MAD" in their science. Next time I will save myself the head-ache and do the experiments myself.....so much for hiring "professionals".

The Calgary Rowing Club is an interesting mix of really fit, really tanned instructors, really rich…read morepatrons who own their own sculling boats and pay exorbitant amounts for membership, and a rundown building from the 70s that probably hasn't been updated in any way. The Adult Learn to Row course was the reason I was there, and really loved it. While a bit pricey, it offers an experience nearly unattainable in Calgary, and it's a great way to spend a few summer evenings. I suggest taking any opportunity you might have to get in one of the boats here. The instructors are knowledgeable and have an overwhelming passion for rowing.

The staff was wonderful to work with, the transaction was super smooth, and communication was great. When the goats came, Farmer Ethan was quick to set up and gave us all plenty of time to pet the goats and play in the pen with them. At the end, he let the birthday girl bottle-feed the baby goat and gave her a birthday gift (a cute, branded hat) which was not expected at all. 10/10 would recommend.
