 25 Reviews  We took a ride to the top of the Calgary tower, they have an great observation deck. I like to go up there just before sunset, you can see the city change from night to day, prarie sunsets are amazing, and then watch as the city lights come up. After some time on the observation deck head to the... 

 37 Reviews  Ethical tourists should know the underpinning of the Calgary Stampede is a rodeo which exploits domestic livestock for entertainment and profit. Not unlike bull-fights, tame animals endure needless humiliation, catastrophic injury and death at rodeo events across the province of Alberta through the... 

 10 Reviews  I've never traveled to Wyoming in the US, so this might be familiar to those who have, but I would call this "Gods Country" on the western outskirts of the city of Calgary. The land is flat and the horizon extends for miles until met by the majestic Rocky Mountains in the distance. the clouds and... 

 12 Reviews  Canada Olympic Park provides activies for individuals and families all year long. During the winter it is a small ski hill where the kids can learn to ski and snowboard.

 21 Reviews  The Calgary Zoo's unique Prehistoric Park is an outdoor re-creation of southern Alberta as it might have appeared millions of years ago when dinosaurs ruled the earth. The park features life-sized dinosaurs in their re-created geographical environment. This exhibit is quite rundown looking and...

Anyway, as i got to know... there have been people asking park wardens about getting the water so... 

 1 Review  It amazes me how often I see tourists get out of their cars to photograph or feed wild animals. Do so if you like. Just remember the incident this year (2001) of a man who put peanut butter on his son's hand and sent him to feed it to the bear so he could get a picture. This is a true story and you... 

 1 Review  Heritage Park - a theme park in Calgary that gives visitors an authentic look at life in a Canadian town in the early 1900's. First of all...it is really expensive to go for what you get. However if you are interested in the 'little house on the prairie/ anne of green gables' kind of town you may...
