Best Things to Do in Calgary
There are numerous reasons to go to Calgary, the most obvious one being to hit the slopes. Perched in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, the city becomes a home base for many winter sports enthusiasts. Stop by the Canada Olympic Park to watch athletes train or even try out some of the facilities for yourself. And remember that there's much more to this city than ski slopes and hiking trails. You can relive the former Wild West glory days at Heritage Park, cheer on the local sports teams at the Saddledome, or indulge in a little retail therapy along the Stephen Avenue Walk. If you have kids in tow, take a walk on the wild side at the Calgary Zoo.
