My top 10 favorite places here in Calgary, Alberta
(In random order)
1. Calgary zoo
Admission fee: 29/ adult
I've been to the zoo for a couple of times. I also applied to work or volunteer here but to no avail i wasn't hired.
I love how they showcase different animals by continents. My favorite places there is the penguin plunge and the pandas. Although the pandas just came last year (2018).
My daughter and I loves animals and it's a must every year to go there. :)
I highly recommend visiting the zoo. Just bring water and food because is a bit pricey too. And make sure you are wearing your walking shoes because it will be a long walk to go through all the places.

2. Heritage park
Admission fee: $25/adultI think this will be my most favorite of all the places here. I never get tired or bored here. It's because it's a living history museum.
On summer time, you can go ride an old-fashioned train, ride on their ferry and have old-school rides like ferry's wheel. I also enjoyed buying their ice cream there and visiting their toy store.
On winter time, they have Once Upon a Christmas. They've so much things to do too even it's snowing.
All year round, the Gasoline Alley is open. You can visit and check out all the vintage cars and vehicles. It's also a must to visit this place. We make sure we visited this place twice a year (summer and winter time)

3. Glenbow museum
Admission: 17/adult
Free every 1st Thursday of the month
If you love history and arts, this is a best place to go to. On the 2nd floor, they always change the art displays there. But in the 3rd place it's all about the history of Northern America. I love visiting here once in a while and revisit the past.

4. Prince's island park
Free admission
I love having walks here. In summer time, they have Shakespeare in the Park too. You can go biking here and a lot of exercise too.
5. Calgary tower
Admission: 18/adult
I love going here because it's so iconic. This tower used to be the tallest in Calgary but now, it's not anymore. But still, it's filled with history and still symbolizes Calgary. There's a viewing deck and a small theatre that shows the history of the tower.
Most of my family and friends who visited to Calgary, i make sure they go here in this tower of us.

6. Telus sparks
Admission: 29/adult
If you love Science, then this is a perfect place. It's so fun to go here because it's displays are so interactive. Even the small ones have a place they can explore and play. They also have a dome where you can watch some of it's documentaries.
It's also a must for us to visit this atleast once a year.

This is a newly discovered place just this year. We love it here because it's so huge and so many things to do for kids. They won't get bored here for sure.

8. Central library
Free admission
It's located in downtown. We used to go even in the old library. We love it there because they have many programs, books to borrow and it's just a good place to hangout.

9. University of Calgary
I took some units here in 2016. It's a huge space, not crowded with buildings. There's a place where you can eat outdoors during summer time. I also love it when it's fall, as you can see the beautiful leaves falling down.

10. Stampede park
It's located in the core of the city, downtown. It's a fun place to be during stampede week in July. A lot of different food samples,food trucks, rides and games there. Other than that, in any other days, they always host different programs, parties, conference etc like the Comic Con, Baby and Toddler sale, and many more.
