It's been a number of years that I've last visited the IBS. My children used to go on school trips. If you're into bird watching and nature walks within a city, this will be up your alley. More

No hides or paths to speak of, cold and no water.....so make it a seasonal trip. The area has been rehabilitated with indigenous plants so should be good in summer! More

A great picnic area and when the hatchery is open to the public, a real eye opener on how the trout are raised. . Close to the bow River and the soon to be opened weir area and one can watch kayakers. More

This oasis of tranquility sits in the middle of a bustling city of over one million, yet is beautiful and peaceful. It is easily accessible. Free and great place to take children. It has a Visitor Centre with very useful information. Well worth a visit if in Calgary. More
