We were last here in 2013. It used to be super busy in the summer. This is May, so young people are…read morestill in school. Even then, the parking is very crowded. We went for the food court. There are fewer restaurants now, less variety, pricier too. My won ton noodle soup was $13, with 5 small won ton and lots of noodles similar to Ramen. Two of the Anchor store were closing, which doesn't bode well for the mall. High end stores like Rolex and Tiffany were very sparce, but that's normal. The mall has a nice feel and atmosphere. Might need a touch of modernizing, but not a lot.

The Core Shopping Center is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Calgary and is absolutely…read morebeautiful. Everything is meticulously clean and lighting is perfect. One can easily spend hours in here with the wide variety of food, drinks, and shopping options. To top it all off, there is an absolutely stunning garden on the fourth floor with ample seating and complimentary WiFi. I can see myself just posting up there and getting work done, reading a book, or just relaxing. Only downfall is that all the washrooms are on the fourth floor and with how the escalators are set up and small elevators, it can be a pain to get up there. There were a few escalators that were out of service when I visited as well. Overall, phenomenal shopping center that I will definitely be visiting often while here.

Check out Simons department store for decent value on men's and women's clothing and even some home goods. Plenty of high end shopping too, if that is what you're looking for. We were there on a weekday morning so it was not at all crowded. Very pleasant. Service was friendly and everything was very clean and well maintained. Beware of conversion fees for every purchase when paying by credit card. Overall, a nice low key shopping experience in Calgary.

I absolutely LOVE shopping at Willow Park Village because all the stores are local. From food, to…read moreclothes, to beauty (such as hair and tanning salons). Willow Park Village has everything you need and is a one stop shop for all necessities! Highly recommend :)

My favourite sushi spot is in here and Willow Park Wines is a great stop for all your liquor and wine needs.

We remembered stopping here on our previous visit to Calgary and stopped in again to look around…read more Maybe I misremembered the first time because the mall kind of looked a little shabby to us this time. There are plenty shops, bakeries, eateries and offices, but everything just had a past-its-prime feel about it. Glad we stopped in but we wouldn't go back.

For those that don't, you can grab a seat on a near by bench in the park area. They have the basics here like CO-OP, Starbucks, and Dollarama but also some smaller businesses as well.

This is an absolute quaint area that I discovered driving home on the Elbow Drive. Just east of the…read moreElbow River in the SW, the BP is a collection of street side shops that carry gift items, women's fashions, home accessories and books, plus a food market and services. Of course my favorite part about this area is that you can do your grocery shopping, buy a bottle of decent red wine, mail a letter, have a Starbucks coffee and do this all with FREE parking. This is a very convenient turn off to do errands but has pretty higher end services, Sunterra is great fresh food market but a little higher in price than your local Co-op, you have a 5 star chocolate store and good clothing locations but you are paying for what they have to offer. This sweet street seems to cater to the more influential locals of the area so we are talking the people living in the million dollar homes that are next to the Elbow River. What I like about BP is that it still has an old fashioned small town feeling and the peacefulness of walking outdoors to do window shopping is all so refreshing.
