This 160,000 ft, $168 million project opened on Canada Day 2016 around the historic King Edward Hotel, Calgary's legendary home of the blues. Admission is $24.50, reduced for children & seniors, we purchased a headset and the Canadian Hall of Fame as well.. Inside is the NMC Gift Shop & Café. There are 5 floors of exhibitions that tell the story of music in Canada, celebrate music icons at 4 Canadian Halls of Fame, rock out at interactive instrument installations & contain North America's most eclectic musical instrument collection. There are recording studios, family events, the CKUA radio station and venue rentals. There was so much to see I didn't realize Joni Mitchell, Paul Anka, Bryan Adams , Alanis Morissette, Shania Twain, The Weeknd, Neil Young ...were Canadian. The building itself is beautiful. Our headset also told us about the design and architecture here.

It's a set price that come with pastry which was a blueberry scone, entree: 3 types of sandwich (egg, chicken, and salmon) and lastly dessert. The scone was a bit undercooked. We informed the server and she immediately give us another one to replace it. The sandwiches was ok nothing special about it and same with the dessert (the Macarons was a bit too sweet for me and the rest is fine). A bit disappointed with the food but I give it a 3 for good customer service and nice vibes atmosphere. Our server was really nice she constantly make sure our tea cup is filled and hot. She also let us try different types of tea and of course replace our scone. Overall, very nice venue hopefully they will improve on the pastry and dessert.

The Lougheed House has so many amazing things going on all the time. I encourage you to take their tour of the Hpuse as it has so much history. I have taken it twice and keep on learning new things all the time. In the summer the Conservation Society does a terrific job setting up and maintaining the gardens. What is an additional bonus is the vegetables and herbs are used in the restaurant.

It was so relaxing walking around the different buildings and taking in all the nature. We all enjoyed the train ride and surprisingly, the free amusement rides. We didn't have time for food but it was just so peaceful, we left feeling rejuvenated. Plenty of parking and everyone we crossed paths with was so kind and told us so much about Heritage Park.

I was more than a wee bit skeptical about Heritage Park. I'd been to similar parks, I thought, and…read morethere's a certain sameness about then. But my wife who grew up in Calgary insisted. And it was fun. We rode the train, rode in the wagon pulled by a tractor, went into houses, learned at the print shop and the oil well, and interacted with the actors. And of course we started at Gasoline Alley. Gasoline Alley has plenty of cars, but I was fascinated by the collection of work trucks and gasoline pumps. And there were plenty of volunteers there to explain the exhibited vehicles and ancillary items. We are an excellent lunch in the cafe.

We learned about the history of Calgary and even visited the Heritage Park area. Enough time to grab coffee and Saskatoon berry ice cream.

We did the Eat the Castle tour at the Fairmont back in August and it was an okay experience. We do…read morefood tours everywhere we go and honestly, wouldn't rate this one super high. For one, it's expensive - over $300 for the both of us. We've never paid that much for a food tour so we had high hopes. The content was okay and the portions were big but the food honestly wasn't amazing. Plus, we had one gal in our group that had multiple allergies and they didn't plan it correctly so instead of catering one plate to her allergies, they had one plate alcohol free, one plate meat free, etc - and instead of taking back the extras and fixing it for everyone else, they just handed out her allergy plate. For example, there was one steak with a fermented beet sauce and fermented blackberry and since I was sitting next to her, they gave me the plate without either because it was made to be "alcohol free". To pay $150+ for this tour and not get what you paid for was a little disappointing. It was fine, just nothing special. I think a walking tour in downtown Banff would probably make more sense!

I didn't know what to expect, or better yet, I wasn't expecting much. And what a surprise, it was AMAZING! Karen, the owner was so friendly and knowledgable. The ladies attending the tour were very welcoming, the bus was comfortable and the tour was great. Who knew that cookies were so enticing. We visited 5 different locations, all incredible. The samples were generous and each location provided for enough treats to gain a few pounds, LOL! It started at Calgary's Farmers Market WEST with a delicious orange ginger juice, coffee, berries and the best hamburguer ever. There we visited the chocolatier and Yum Bakery, omg, the chocolate and the cookies were amazing, then we visited Mercato, Metro Vino, Crave and others that I forgot the name. It was fun, informative, delicious, very well organized, great hosts. Learnt a lot about the amazing food happening in Calgary, so super highly recommended!!
