A truly delightful and educational animal experience for all ages. The zoo is extremely well laid out, very clean, and allows you to decide what global animal 'regions' you may wish to easily locate and explore. The animal enclosures appear to meet animal needs as evidenced by reproductive success in different species. Give yourself at least half a day to see it all and start early in the morning while animals are more active before they become more inactive during the daytime heat. You will be truly amazed by how much you will learn and remember from your visit.

His zoo is huge!! We are from Edmonton and decided to go to Calgary for our Canada Day weekend get away. First on the list is to go to the zoo! My twin girls enjoyed seeing many animals, most especially the panda bears!! Just to give everyone a heads up, a lot of walking and bring water. You will enjoy this zoo. Good exercise too as it took us about 4-5 hours to see everything!!

It had been years since we had been to the Glenbow. We decided to start touring our own cities attractions. In reading other reviews, time is what you need to really enjoy all of the various exhibits. One of their permanent exhibits, Niitsitapiisinni, and The Sun Gallery of Aboriginal Arts and Culture on the third floor brings you into their world. The museum offers free admission on the first Thursday of every month from 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm. A great way to enjoy the educational, beautiful exhibits.

We were at a week long convention at the Hyatt in Calgary and had a Presidents reception on the 3rd floor of this museum. It was wonderful. I loved the history and displays. It was well set up and extremely interesting. There was always something else around a hidden corner. It was like a treasure hunt. We also did a scavenger hunt in teams and had to find answers to questions in different displays. I would highly recommend this museum if you are a history buff and like museums.

The museum is a bit out of the way however I would say it is a must see if you’re in Calgary. You can get a taxi there or as I found out there is a bus stop near the museum and you can get a number 18 bus from downtown. The museum is quite large so give yourself 2-3 hours. Don’t forget about the hangers outside dedicated to the RCAF during the Cold War with a full size F86 Sabre and F18 Hornet. The museum is split into sections dedicated to the different services as well as local regiments. The staff are friendly and very helpful if you have any questions. The exhibits are excellent and the displays are fantastic.

Coming from a military family I beleive it is important for Candains to know the history of our country and the sacrifices our families made to this country and its people. This museum is wonderful. It is educational and a person can easily spend hours just looking at everything. It is a museum dedicated to the regiments and it is divided as such. If you are in Calgary go see this museum it is one of the better ones in Canada.
