Calgary Tower
Like many cities there is a great lookout point to see the surrounding area. This is no different, and you can be hit pretty hard when buying at the local stores in the tower.
Unique Suggestions: Shop around in the places there and you will find some nice things to buy and bring home, I ended up buying some good stuff I still use months later for a reasonable price!
Fun Alternatives: Don't buy directly at the tower but some of the surrounding shops, you can find nearly or the same things at a far cheaper price.
You will be compelled to buy a cowboy hat while out there. While I wasn't around during stampede, I did pick one up that was quite nice for a reasonable price. Be sure not to be swindled and don't impulsively buy something you are never going to use again, mine on the other hand it awesome!
Unique Suggestions: When you visit the stores be sure to check out the cheaper hats, if you are wearing one just for fun you can get one for between $25-50 that is of lesser quality but if its just for the trip go for it!
