Complete your trip to Calgary with a visit to the Heritage Park. Spend an incredible day at Canada’s largest living history museum, and witness history come to life. Explore the historic buildings and antique machinery, ride authentic attractions, interact with costumed improvisational actors, learn about the history of Western Canada and have lots of fun.

The park encompasses eight distinct areas that you can reach by train or by feet:
• Antique Midway
• First Nations Encampment
• Heritage Plaza
• Heritage Railyard
• Ranch & Farm Life
• Resource Ridge
• The Settlement
• Village Square

Each area is full of exciting things to see and do, taking you back in time to the early days of Western Canada’s history. Visit the exhibitions of Calgary’s Electric Streetcar System, Standard Gauge Railway, Gasoline Alley Museum with an impressive vintage car collection, Hudson’s Bay Company Fur Trading Fort and many others.

Explore inside the historical homes and saloons, see a blacksmith in action, explore the origins of Alberta’s energy industry at Prospect Ridge – including the new STORYSEEKER exhibit. Visit the farm animals in the Ranch Area and find out how Veterinarians plied their trade at the turn of the century in the Vintage Veterinary Exhibit at the Nanton Livery Stable – also new for 2022.

Don’t forget to ride the antique midway rides, including the Ferris Wheel, Bowness Carousel, the Caterpillar and the Whip – the world’s first thrilling attraction. Finish your day by riding the S.S. Moyie paddle-wheeler boat or take a horse-drawn wagon tour.

Food and drinks are available in various locations throughout the park, along with several shopping opportunities to find the perfect souvenir.
