Kids Avenue Early Learning Centre

Day care center

👍👍 Kids Avenue has been a wonderful experience for my family! Both my children attend the daycare, and love it so much. On the weekends and holidays, my daughter pretends she is her teacher while her sister and stuffies are her daycare students. She always asks me if her daycare friends can come over t...

Fishy Addictions

Tropical fish store

👍👍 Amazing. All fish are in excellent living conditions and fed well. I was able to get some beautiful Angels and due to spending the required amount I even got a few free fish! Will certainly be going back again for their professionalism and the quality of their fish.

Protospace - Calgary's Makerspace

Community center

👍👍 Protospace. Come for the tools, stay for the people. What first drew me to Protospace was the idea of being able to access such a wide array of large tools (CNC mill, metal lathe, welders, laser cutters, 3D printers, full woodshop, electronics room, ect.) at such a great price. The reason I continue...

YYC Nature and Education Centre

Education center

👍👍 My fiancé and I came here for the adults only night and it was amazing! We learned so much and the hosts were very funny and welcoming. Getting up close with all the animals was an experience you won’t get anywhere else in Calgary. This was the first adults night and I can’t wait to see what else Je...

👍👍 I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Great L Log of Calgary and was absolutely blown away by the experience.

Play Unleashed

Dog park

👍👍 We love play unleashed. We go usually once a week with our pups. The facility is very well maintained. It is pricier than some other facilities, but you pay for what you get, and this is a better quality than most private parks. They know their value. Owners are respectful, we have never had a chal...

948 Brewing Company Ltd.

Brewery

👍👍 I’m a beer tour guide, I’ve tried craft beer all over the world and these guys make incredible beer. Their beer is truly small-batch brewed, technically it could be considered nano-batch brewed. The care and attention shows as usually at a brewery I’ll enjoy 2 or 3 of the brews but these guys hit ev...

Memorial Drive - Field Of Crosses

Historical landmark

👍👍 For those who leave, never to return. For those who return but are never the same. We remember. If you have never had the opportunity to go check out the Field of Crosses downtown along Memorial Drive- you really need to go check it out. What an incredibly somber experience. 3500 crosses. All the n...

Lawrey Gardens Park

Park

👍👍 Great place to explore . The Lawrey Gardens park is an off leash dog park with the Bow River on on side and the train tracks on the other. It's a great loop to walk. It can be accessed from the top of the hill from end of the East end of the Douglas Fir Trail or from the end of 10th Ave along the...
