| Page Views: 896 Last Visit to Calgary: 2002 | Calgary .... a dynamic city by sunnywong - last update: Sep 7, 2002 |
Calgary is a dynamic city, nestled in the rolling foothills of Canada's Rocky Mountains. "Stampede Fever" hits the city every July as the world famous Calgary Stampede draws thousands to the 10-day rodeo and western celebration.
Visit the Canadian Airlines Saddledome with its remarkable cable-suspended concrete roof, a legacy from the 1988 Olympic Winter Games. Or the Calgary Zoo, the second largest in Canada, which houses a prehistoric park with life-size dinosaur replicas. Enjoy a fine dinner in one of western Canada's highest restaurants as it revolves atop the 626-foot-high Calgary Tower.
Other attractions include the Glenbow Museum, internationally renowned for its collection of First Nations artefacts, the Calgary Science Centre, Theatre Calgary and the Spruce Meadows equestrian centre.
Calgary makes a perfect base for day excursions. An hour and-a-half drive takes you to Drumheller and the world's most extensive display of dinosaurs at the Royal Tyrell Museum of Palaeontology. And just to the south is the fascinating Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump.
