October? This year isn't looking so good. It's too bad because my Sens were gonna take it back to Ottawa.

Visit chinatown, then go for generous portion of fabulous deep fried squid or ginger beef(this is a Calgary only food!) at Ho Won.

Best Salt and Pepper Squid ever!!! Have not been there in years which is too bad.

Bobsleding at COP or ziplining if it's warmer. Heck even do both!

Re: Calgary Tourism

Aussie's have issues with cold; my best friend and his wife came from Sydney for a year to Calgary and she would not get out of a down parka for the first 3-4 months, even inside, pretty funny!

I think most of the best ideas have already been covered, mountains for sure, trendy Calgary spots and the zoo for sure! Hope they enjoy the trip!!

Re: Calgary Tourism

Fact: Calgary has the best Chinese food next to HK/China itself. I can guarantee you that, especially when Hongcouver is near us. YYC Chinese food is THAT good.

People seem to overlook this fact haha.

Also, let them have a Ceasar; a Calgary-only drink! I tried ordering one in Mexico and I had the quizzical "WTF, is this esse high?" look.

If you've ever had Chinese food in both places, I bet you that Calgary has more +'s than -'s compared to Vancouver.

Vancouver is more known for fresh fish and rain, really.

Re: Calgary Tourism

I used to live in Van, overall their food is better.

I have lived in TO as well, and their food is better.

Re: Calgary Tourism

Also the Caesar is not a Calgary only drink, but it was invented there.
