Calgary Tourism

[ryukin2000]

hey all, i have a couple of friends coming to visit and it's their first time in Calgary. I've been here for two years and i still cant seem to come up with anything interesting to do/show them. Where do you guys go or take your guests? all i have on my list are some good restaurants. any suggestions would be appreciated as it would probably be new to me as well.

Olympic Oval.
Science Center (especially if they are here on a Thursday during the adults only night!)
COP has cool things like bobsledding, luge, zip line etc.

Re: Calgary Tourism

Go skating at the olympic plaza for free and get a decadent hot chocolate from Choklat after.
Visit chinatown, then go for generous portion of fabulous deep fried squid or ginger beef(this is a Calgary only food!) at Ho Won.
Go to the Glenbow Museum, check out "Fairy Tales, Monsters and the Genetic Imagination"
Go to Nanton and check out the "Lights the Way" festival

Other food suggestions:
Lemongrass Grill near Chinook, superb Vietnamese food and authentic spring rolls
Japanese Village, good food and a cool cooking demonstration/show to boot
Calgary Tower, awesome view and decent food

pick up a Where Calgary magazine, they are free and can grab them at many spots across the city, they have a bunch of great ideas and tell you about upcoming events stc

Re: Calgary Tourism

Where are your guests coming from?

I'd say Banf is your best bet as the natural beauty is one of a kind, or Tyrell Museum as you won't see so many dinosaur bones anywhere else in Canada.

Re: Calgary Tourism

Take them to Edmonton first.




Then take them where-ever, and it'll be daffodils and rainbows.
