“Live your history”

Reviewed May 24, 2013 NEW

Want to learn about the history of Calgary but in a fun way? You have to go experience the largest living museum in Canada. The amusement rides are amazing and made just like they were Hundreds of years ago - but they are still so fun to ride. My personal favorite is the S.S. Moyie - Paddlewheeler - it's like... More

“History Comes Alive”

Reviewed May 20, 2013 NEW

No child or adult could resist the overall feeling of being right in yester year. Except for the new buildings at the gates which I think are a crying shame, the buildings are authentic and many of them original. Great food services. Try the gingerbread men at the bakery and ride the Moyie.

Hello Myrna90- Thanks for your review! It's always a pleasure to hear when people enjoy their time here at Heritage Park. We agree that trying our gingerbread is a must-do! Sorry to hear that you aren't a fan of the new expansion. We believe that the Heritage Town Square represents an authentic prairie urban streetscape from the 1930s-50s and is... More

“Great for kids!”

Reviewed May 16, 2013

The real full sized steam train is great for kids, as is the historical village and old time amusement park. We saw Thomas the Tank Engine there and they did a great job. We bought a yearly pass!

“Alberta's History Comes Alive in Calgary”

Reviewed May 10, 2013

This 127-acre park was one of the grandest celebrations of Albertan history I could ever imagine! It was a short bus ride from the Heritage stop on the C-Train’s Red Line. There was also plenty of parking onsite. Judging from the scores of school field trip busses it had to be a fantastic place for school-aged children. Already committed, I... More

“A great look back to the start of Calgary”

Reviewed May 7, 2013

This park features late 1850 - 1950 attractions, old buildings and antiques on display in settings in which they would be used. A small 1960's era amusement park with rides (ferris wheel, merry go round etc.) targeted mostly to the under 16 year old sect. Interesting dining options from ice cream on the board walk to Sunday bunches and fine... More

“A Neat Ol' Place!”

We try to visit this attraction once very two years (it's quite costly for a family of six). The kids do not find it overly interesting, but we adults sure do. As the kids get older, we explain to them how much more difficult things were "back in the day" and how lucky we are now. The homes are very... More

“Heritage Park”

Reviewed May 1, 2013

I have two kids (18mths & 6 yrs old) Heritage Park is another attraction they both love. the toddler loves the trains and the 6 year old likes the boat and the activities. In the last few years hP has begun to put on more and more seasonal activities that we enjoy. We are members and visit often.
