It is what it is. Small rides for kids, and that can be a good thing. Early arrivals will beat the lines. Its family fun for a day. Do you need two days? no. Its reasonably priced. I wish I owned the mountain view from that location. More

Doesn't have much for serious thrill seekers but enough to keep young kids going for most of a day. There is one very short roller coaster with loops and rolls. A short drive west of Calgary. Great views of the mountains. More

Try to get in early! The line-ups can get long pretty fast but for the price you can enjoy every ride all inclusive for one amount, the games are cheap, and if you are arriving to the park late in the day then there is a reduced rate. Not too many rides but fun fun fun! More

Yes, it's the only attraction like this nearby. No, that doesn't make it good. It's a really dated place and needs a lot of love, but if all you're after is a bit of afternoon carnival fun outside of the stampede season it'll do! My young one still loves it here, but I have a preteen who really is done... More

They have every ride a teen would want to try. It is a good place to take the family as there are other more quiet things to do. Like walk in the park and enjoy the water. More

This place hasn't changed in 25 years but it still has something to offer people of all ages. Buying the seasons pass is definitely the way to go if you plan on going more than 4 times in a season. I buy one for me and one for my daughter - they then mail you a bunch of 50% off... More

Calaway is still fun and a good time but best for the younger kids. If you are looking for more "extreme" thrills and rides avoid Calaway as there numebr of adult rides is fairly limited. More
