The Calgary Zoo is worth visiting to witness over a thousand animals from different habitats, including those who reside in the Canadian Wilds section, the Botanical gardens, and the Prehistoric Park. You can watch the penguins swim underwater, or have a pleasant ride on the Savannah Railway. There are playgrounds and a carousel for the little ones, and there are a few eateries and souvenir shops.
Experience the 19th century's Western Canada in the Greenfoot's Journey show. It is an interactive, narrated street where actors depict life from the Fort Calgary trade post to a Calgary mansion. The Horse-Drawn Wagon ride and Sternwheeler Riverboat Cruise are must-trys. There are plenty of dining options, whether you want snacks or a sit-down dinner. The Gasoline Alley Museum showcases iconic vehicles and is sure to be a delight to automobile enthusiasts.
The Canada Olympic Park comprises several activities that tourists of all ages will enjoy. It offers an opportunity to learn skiing, bobsled, and luge in the summer or winter. If skiing is not your thing, take a spin on the Skyline Luge, or soar down the zip lines. Also, check out the newly added mini-golf course and the 200-foot winter tube park.
You can allocate more time per site if you wish to explore additional exhibitions or attend special events/shows. Consider shortening your stay by removing any activities that don't pique your interest. If you have more time, it may be worth visiting the Glenbow Museum or the Calaway Park Amusement Park, which both close by 5 pm. On the other hand, you can swap the entire park day with a leisurely stroll along Stephen Avenue Walk at the city centre.
