Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium

"One of the top Calgary attractions is viewing the city from the Calgary Tower, a 190.8 meter free standing observation tower. Have a bite to eat in the Sky 360 Restaurant and Lounge, and then stand on the Observation Deck to see a panoramic view (not recommended if you are afraid of heights!). Be sure afterward to browse the gift shop which features unique Calgary Tower memorabilia."

"Once the tallest structure in the city, the Calgary Tower is an iconic fixture. The 60-second elevator ride whisks visitors up to the observation level where one can marvel at the views of the endless prairie and the mountains to the west. The floor of the dining room below the observation deck rotates so patrons can enjoy the 360 views while enjoying an excellent gourmet dinner."

"The spectacular 360° view from the Calgary Tower changes with the weather. Get the best views of Calgary from 191 metres above the downtown core and test your courage on the famous glass floor. The Theatre Room on the observation deck features a curved wall video experience showing original short films and aerial footage of the Alberta landscape."

"Calgary’s own version of Central Park, the locals refer to Prince’s Island Park as an urban oasis. Located in Downtown Calgary, you need to cross the bridge to gain access to this park. If you’re traveling with children, get them here for an evening of running around, tossing around Frisbees or just lounging about in the greenery."

"No matter the time of year, walking through Prince’s Island Park to River Café is almost as wonderful as the food. Go for brunch or dinner. In the summer, cuddle up on a blanket for a performance of Shakespeare by the Bow (by-donation) or catch your favourite folk musician at Calgary Folk Music Festival."

"Calgary’s story starts right here, where the Bow and Elbow Rivers meet – a cultural meeting place for Indigenous people. Fort Calgary was built in 1875 to stamp out the whisky trade and establish Canadian law, eventually becoming a focal point for settlers, ranchers and businesses. While little of the fort remains today, visitors can tour the museum’s comprehensive exhibitions and understand the region’s long – and complicated – history."

"Found in the downtown area at the meeting place of the Bow and Elbow Rivers, Fort Calgary is easy to get to via LRT and is a great place to learn, discover and enjoy!. Find out more about the local attraction at Calgary Activities - Fort Calgary."

"Discover a world wildlife experience your family will never forget at the Calgary Zoo this summer. Travel to the polar waters of Penguin Plunge, to the Rockies and the grizzlies, from the Safari to the Savannah, and venture East to the Japanese macaques and red pandas. Visit the Calgary Zoo this summer to discover rare and endangered species and how you can help protect wildlife and wild places."

When I was originally asking for recommendations for the best ice cream in Calgary, Village Ice Cream was the most frequent and most enthusiastic response. They make their own small batch ice cream with high quality, local, seasonal and often organic ingredients."

"The idea for Village Ice Cream came to founder Billy on a hot day while sitting on his grandmother’s porch. Village focuses on providing the best tasting ice cream by sourcing the best ingredients. With three locations in Calgary it’s hard to resist."

"As long as the sun is shining, it’s ice cream season in Calgary. Village Ice Cream is one of the city’s best local scoop shops. It’s community focused and the ice cream itself is hand crafted and incredibly creamy."

"This recently revitalized urban park in Calgary’s East Village offers up several unique features to explore. A seasonal beach, “The Rise” hill, the Bloom sculpture, and the Lookout Plaza are just some of the many spaces Calgarians can enjoy, along with paved walking paths and trails winding across the island."

"NE (you can access it by car through the South Zoo parking lot). Completed as part of the St. Patrick’s Island redevelopment project, this playground (and park) has become a Calgary favorite. The playground has a wonderful setting and includes unusual equipment."

"East Village Playground – East Village – 7 Ave and 6 St SESt. Patrick’s Island Playground – 1300 Zoo Rd."

"As the second largest urban park in Canada, Fish Creek Park is overflowing with activities. With Sikome Lake, educational programs and local events happening constantly, there’s never a dull moment in this park. Make sure to hit the visitor centre on your way in so they can tell you what’s happening around the park that day and if any areas are closed to do marathons, local events or construction."

"Many people visit Fish Creek Park because of its natural forested condition. It houses several recreational activities throughout the year. Regardless of your age or physical ability, this park has something for you."

"Fish Creek Provincial Park offers guests with the opportunity to go hiking, biking, bird watching, or swimming. Guests can also schedule youth group visits and grill out at the Sikome Aquatic Facility."

"A unique concept created by two local bike guys, Bike and Brew is Calgary’s original caffeinated Bicycle and Repair shop to bring the communities of cycling and coffee together. I randomly stumbled upon this gem when I was walking from Sushi Bar Zipang to Shiki Menya, and thought it was too cool not to check out. I love businesses that strive to support local."

"A fixture of the Marda Loop area, Belmont Diner is a classic spot for a traditional breakfast. Eggs Benedict can be spruced up with smoked salmon or Montreal smoked meat. For fun try the Chuck Norris: two potato pancakes topped with your choice of bacon, beef sausage, ham, donair, Montreal smoked meat, or veggies; eggs, cheese, and hot holly sauce."

"Another hidden gem in the burbs for Chinese food is Bill’s Peking House, serving Chinese food since 1988!. When I told my friends I had so-so dim sum at the popular Silver Dragon, they took me to Bill’s Peking House as one of the best dim sum restaurants in Calgary. The must-order here is the steamed shrimp and scallop dumpling, which is rare to find even in Toronto."

"A photo posted by patrick_patman (@patrick_patman) on Dec 7, 2016 at 6:12am PST. With nearly 30 years of serving up Chinese food to hungry Calgarians, Bill’s Peking is a fave for many locals. While they’ve got some Western-style dishes, they also have more authentic Chinese fare, and are known for their delicious Peking Duck."

"Absolutely great place to bring the family for an affordable meal. The food was fantastic. I chatted with the owner and he is very passionate about servi..."
