Times have changed. This building used to be the Town of High River office. Now it's Carlson's on…read moreMacleod - a coffee house/cappuccino bar/cafe/pub/music bar. The decor screams, "just relax". Hardwood floors that look like they've been there a while. The menu written on blackboards. Old battered brass instruments and trophies adorn the forest green walls. A cozy fireplace flanked by cushy chairs. A small stage with a piano, sax and guitar that anyone can play, providing that an act hasn't been booked. I've been there on three occasions. When I attended a reunion there, we ate lots of appetizers. The chicken wings had a good kick to them. The ribs were sticky but good and the rest of the stuff is standard fare. Well done, but standard to what you'd get in a pub. Big hearty servings though - bigger than what you'd get in the city. The desserts were heavenly! Dark chocolate cake...moist and rich! Fantastic lunches. The soups are freshly made and very filling. A good selection of beer, respectable selection of wine and some funky fancy coffees! Try the Raspberry Delight (at least I think that's what it was called. Or perhaps it was Raspberry Drizzle). Or, try the Turtles one. Scrumptious. Toothsome. Yummy! Staff is friendly, quick and efficient. I've yet to go when there's live music but I've noticed that they've been bringing in some good local talent and there's usually a good number of cars by Carlson's whenever I'm in the area. I have tried playing the piano. It's one of those old honky-tonk type pianos that go out of tune immediately after tuning. I wouldn't dare try the guitar or sax. They'd probably kick me out.

The museum had interesting entertainment- related displays on different shows and movies, but we ended up fascinated by so much! The building itself is beautiful, a former train station. The fee is by donation. I loved the Indigenous history and artifacts. There are some lovely Canadian books in the front store section. There is a children's play area as well.

Friendly, truly nice people. It is clean, well run, with all kinds of new ideas and products over…read morethe years. They purchased new seats a few years ago, including a row of lounge type chairs. Flavored popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, and hotdogs. It has a hometown theatre, which gives me an 'at home' feel. Prices are pretty much as expected for movie theatres, but at least this one is close by and locally run and nearby. They are active in the community, which I like. I love the popcorn smell. With gas prices as they, this theatre is a real gem for the locals.

My friend and I took our three kids, ages 13, 9 & 7 to see Frozen II. Between tickets and…read moreconcession, my friend spent $62.00 & I spent $45.00. Seats were old, but the food was ok and we figured for Okotoks it wasnt terrible. However some rude parents brought their infant/young toddler and preschool aged child and allowed them to run around the theater, screaming, crying and talking the entire movie. Literally rolling down the aisles. When I approached the manager, she advised that this was allowed in their theatre and they do not restrict very young children who are not able to sit through a movie. We will just go to Shawnessy or Seton next time. Rude inconsiderate parents who ruined the movie for everyone else and staff that didnt care. Waste of $100 and an evening.
