The Bow tower gets 5-stars on account that I'm pretty sure as the sun hits high noon over Calgary, the curvature of The Bow's glass panes focus the solar energy into a point that would vaporize a passing Magpie. It's like an ant and a magnifying glass of Calgary skyline define proportions. That's just badass. Not only is it pleasing to look at, have some cool Giant Head art out front and is the tallest tower in Calgary, it's the closest thing the YYC has to a death star.

Got a big head?  The Bow does....

Calgary Public Library - Sculptures

Calgary Public Library

(52 reviews)

I always enjoy visiting libraries when I visit new cities. When I saw the beauty of this library…read morethrough pictures and reviews, I knew I had to visit this one. Honestly, the pictures don't do it justice. In person, it was much nicer and cleaner. Every section of the library was sparkling clean and clearly maintained well. There are 4 stories with computers, meeting rooms, tables, coffee shop, art installations, children's area, etc. They definitely made it so there are plenty of resources available for whatever you may need. The only downfall I can think of is that the library has quite a bit of drugged up people in there as well as right outside and some of them causing a scene or clearly making others uncomfortable. I understand it's a public facility but it's still a negative aspect about the library.

A cool architectural building with ample artificial and natural lighting coming through the…read morewindows. There 3 levels out do with a children's section on the 3 floor with a play area and multiple reading areas and kids books spread out. They have mega cheese board and table chest set up on the 4th floor with a manual hockey board and crossword puzzle on the white board. They also have a little cafe serving coffee, lattes, tea, smoothies, and ice cream desserts. Reasonably priced. It's a cool place to check out on a rainy day in Calgary. They have free tours on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 12-1pm plus an escape library game on select dates.
