Fort Calgary (Calgary AB)


Fort Calgary is an old Canadian Royal Mounted Police posting. It is a fun-for-all place with a fair amount of facts. There is a treasure hunt for kids and the treasure hunt also has some small prizes. You have to go into every area to find some of the things.

A "Must-See" for the family!





[PS--kids had BETTER behave or moms can put them in "jail"!!]

BEST thing: being able to dress up! There were different mountie
uniforms. And you could "ride" in a trolley. And you could dress up in old clothes to be a driver or a fancy lady in an old car.



WORST thing: we didn't have enough time to play pool [billiards] or play with the trains or play the old games in the backyard place.

for FAMILIES: do the treasure hunt. You pick out a card or tw
o. They you have to look for that thing somewhere. Look real carefully--some are tricky! Then tell the person at the desk where you found it. You will get a small prize!
