2026-08-10. Peace Bridge, Calgary, AB…read more Unfortunately the riverwalk is under repair and enhancement so that we were only able to access the one side and the angles were not optimal. So we ended up making the best of the bridge and had some fun since it was pretty deserted at 03:00. There's no overnight parking allowed on the streets but we chanced it and gambled on no enforcement and we lucked out. Like Rotary Park, you can get some good views of the Calgary skyline from the base of the bridge with a different viewpoint; especially the SW side where it doesn't look like much from the Rotary Park Lookout Point. A cool bridge with some photo ops. Angles will definitely be better once the construction is completed. If you would like to experience more come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company. Strike a pose!

BEAUTIFUL PUBLIC GARDEN ATOP CALGARY DOWNTOWN…read more One of the highlights of the +15 Skywalk is the Devonian Gardens. Expecting a small indoor park, we found ourselves in a huge glass enclosed penthouse garden of tropical trees and plants, sparkling clean ponds and fountains and a children's park. This garden must be a wonderful escape from the harsh Canada winters. The Devonian Gardens provides a pristine and peaceful haven for both visitors and office workers. During our visit, the peaceful ambiance of the Gardens was enhanced by a pianist quietly playing classical music on a baby grand piano nestled among the palm trees. Check out the wood carvings and masks by local artist Tom Ward. Originally on loan to the city, the collection was later donated by the Ward family for display in the Gardens.

Decided to go here as it was the more unique option. It did not disappoint. My 3 and 5 year old loved the ride and I loved that we didn't have to pay extra for them. I think I enjoyed the rides as much as them. They weren't as nauseating as modern rides, imo. They were also unique twists on them - particularly the carousel. The horses go forward/back, instead of up/down. According to a little plaque on the ride, it's only one of two in the world that do this. How cool?! It was also nice to stroll around and look at various historical homes and such. Prices were also great! The ice cream is a must! Probably amongst one of the best ice creams I've had in my life. I really enjoyed the coffee/choco cookie flavor I got. Lunch at the Asian place was not bad, but not that great either. My biggest complaint would be the train. I have one of those strollers that folds up really small. I forgot to bring my backpack for it, so they wouldn't let us on, claiming that it was "too big". Only umbrella strollers are allowed. However, if I had it in the backpack, they would've allowed it. It would've easily fit between or under my legs, so the claim that it was "too big" is BS. There was plenty of parking. We came on a Monday in early August and there were pretty much no lines for anything. However, it's a huge place and we spent literally all day (from open to close) there.

I loved talking to the interpreters at the pharmacy among other highlights. I will definitely want to return here in the future to take in areas we didn't have time to visit. Parking was reasonable (be sure to pay!) and ample.

It is on the same site as the original fort, the present structure is a reconstruction on a 40-acre park. In 1875, it was Fort Brisebois by the North West Mounted Police.

HIDDEN MUSICAL GEM IN PLAIN SIGHT…read more Wow! We had a fantastic time at Studio Bell, home to the National Music Centre and the Canadian Music Halls of Fame. Studio Bell is much more than a museum and describes itself as a "hub for music, innovation and cultural discovery in Canada." Housed in a breathtaking modern architectural wonder, Studio Bell's collection includes instruments ranging from harmonicas to huge organ pipes, music memorabilia and artifacts, early keyboards and other electronic gear and gorgeous stage costumes. Among the instruments we saw on display was the upright piano used by Elton John to compose many of his early hits. Studio Bell houses four Music Halls of Fame - the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame and the Quebec Music Hall of Fame. We enjoyed the newest exhibit honoring Nelly Furtado, the 2026 Canadian Music Hall of Fame Inductee. Everyone - but especially musicians - can easily spend hours at Studio Bell. There are many interactive exhibits that let you pop on headphones and play actual instruments alongside a video. It was fun stepping inside a vocal booth and hearing myself sing really badly off-key :o) Admission is $24.50 Adults and $19.50 Seniors (Wednesday free for seniors). We wish we had known about the Greatest Hits Tour ($12 Adults/$8 Senior) and the Backstage Tour ($16 Adults/$12 Seniors) that would have given us more insight into the museum's many treasures.

It was an overcast, drizzly day but that did not keep the people from coming out to seemingly Calgary's first Spring fest. This was great to see. The roads were closed appropriately and the main attractions (live performers) were still in the main stream but off on the side streets aways. Regardless, my first time at this festival grades a bit low as we absolutely had to walk on the sidewalks to get anywhere, not in the street. No flow on the street at all. This means there was no way I could see who all the vendors were there or take part in much by way of looking or purchasing as the lines were just too long. Tons of food trucks though if you have the patience! But, it is what it is in this great, big city and I am sure there were many out of towners here as well taking part. Great for Calgary's already booming economy! Wear comfy shoes as you will be walking a lot esp. if you drive downtown as parking is scarce close by. We walked 11 blocks back to our car. Not a day to try a new restaurant on 4th Street either as they are all packed! Free admission.
