"A must for culture vultures, the Glenbow Museum is Calgary’s most impressive repository of artwork and artifacts. Founded by prominent Alberta oilman Eric Harvie in 1966, the museum’s permanent collections tell the story of western Canada, including spectacular exhibits devoted to Aboriginal history and culture. Don’t miss this roundup of the world’s most popular museums."

"A post shared by Jae K (@konzca) on Apr 15, 2018 at 8:36pm PDT. Glenbow Museum showcases Western Canadian arts and culture through historic and contemporary pieces. Enjoy the works of Frida Kahlo, and take a peek at John Will’s interesting photography — both exhibitions will be up until May 21."

"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."

"Tour Studio Bell, which houses Canada’s new National Music Centre, then head downtown to take in the city views from the landmark Calgary Tower. Around the corner, check out the excellent Glenbow Museum, which traces Calgary’s history and culture, and journey back in time at the Heritage Park Historical Village. For dinner, try one of the cool restaurants on 17th Avenue."

"Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre is a non-profit museum and performance venue. You can check their website to see what is going on, but it’s also fun to go to Studio Bell and check out the impressive architecture!"

"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."

"Take a step back in time with a visit to this retro North American diner, which offers more than the traditional sausage and eggs on the menu (though hearty sausage and egg dishes are available and thoroughly recommended). At Bennys Breakfast Bar, you’ll find piles of pierogies, the hipster-favorite avocado toast and the trendy Scandi lox and bagel, and most dishes can be made gluten-free.
