Food Scene
Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. One of our go-to spots as it's close by and consistently delicious. They source local ingredients from nearby farmers as much as possible. A couple of our menu faves are The Journey Bowl (for veggies) & Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich (drooling as I type!). Wednesday nights Burger + Beer for $20. Mimosa's are $5 every day from 10am-4pm. Thursdays wine is $1/1oz from 4pm-close. They also participate in the Meal Share program for select menu items (every $1 spent on food is $1 donated to help end youth hunger). Good local people + good local food = one killer combo!

Our favourite park. This is not a National Park, so in contrast to the throngs of tourists found in more popular parks, you are more likely to find the serenity to came to Canada to enjoy. Still abundant in the mountain views, trails, wildlife, etc that Alberta is known for. Kananaskis is Calgary's backyard and mostly enjoyed by locals who avoid the crowded bus tours of the ever popular (and for good reason!) Banff National Park. You can find a ski hill here in the winter as well - Nakiska.

Not so much the city of Drumheller, but the area. The Canadian Badlands - different from the Rocky Mountains that Alberta is so well-known for. In prehistoric times, much of North America was a lush subtropical habitat embracing a vast inland sea. Dinosaurs roamed here 70 million years ago. Fast forward to present-day central and southern Alberta where their bones now rest in ancient riverbeds, framed by the maroon-striped canyons of the mysterious Badlands. The area is rich in fossils and is actively used in palaeontological research. Combine your sightseeing with a trip to the Royal Tyrrell Museum, a fun way to spend a day. https://www.travelalberta.com/ca/places-to-go/canadian-badlands/

The King Eddy originally opened in 1905 on what was then referred to as Whisky Row. This workingman’s hotel & bar saw the rise of Calgary and was the first desegregated bar in the city.
