Be sure afterward to browse the gift shop which features unique Calgary Tower memorabilia."

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.

Since Cibo is such a large space, it can easily accommodate big groups, so you might as well invite the grandparents out for dinner too.
