Classic Calgary - The entire place feels like stepping back in time, with beautifully preserved buildings, friendly staff, and plenty of hands-on exhibits. I appreciated how relaxed the atmosphere was, even with families and tourists around. The views of the reservoir and the city skyline made the experience even better. It is one of those iconic Calgary spots that you can return to multiple times and always find something new to appreciate.

Top notch heritage attraction. The best I’ve ever been to. - Outstanding history of Calgary Museum and experience. Great value for money, and would advise anyone to go. Great for adults, kids, grandparents. Disabled friendly, lots to do, excellent staff. Cannot praise it more.

Great way to spend a half day - We needed to kill some time after Banff in Calgary before our flight left. My husband and I spent about 4 hours in Heritage Park, and really enjoyed iti! If you want to experience life 100 years ago or so, this was really fascinating! I loved the train ride, being able to see the inside of the old train cars, and especially Main Street that was set up like a town from the 1920s. Even authentic horse manure in the streets:). It was fun seeing the kids on the old carnival rides, we rode the big swing and ferris wheel. It is a big park and although they have train and horse and buggy rides around, it is a lot of walking. Good food choices and treats. The workers were knowledgeable about their craft.

Outstanding Historical Village - Large park with many exhibits recalling the history of the Canadian West. including the indigenous encampment, fur trading industry, fort establishment, building of the cross-country railway, settlement, sternwheeler era, early pioneers and farming / ranching, A step back in time. Many exhibits had tour guides present to explain the artifacts and answer questions. Highly recommend it for the whole family.

A Great Way to Learn about Life around Calgary - After spending almost a week in Banff National Park, we had just one day to spend in Calgary, and I’m so very glad that we decided to go to Heritage Park for most of it. Being a train lover, I really enjoyed the train ride with the steam locomotive. One tip - while I don’t know if it is always this way, be aware that the train does not stop at every station on a trip around the park. But that wasn’t a problem because we had a nice rest on one of the many benches by the station. (We’re in our active 70’s, but pacing ourselves really helps.) My wife and her twin sister also really enjoyed the carousel and Ferris wheel, and the other “old-time” amusement park rides looked enjoyable as well. We had a wonderful lunch at the Wainwright Hotel and thoroughly enjoyed going through the various houses and other buildings throughout the grounds. We didn’t have time to go to the Gasoline Alley museum or ride the trolley at the front of the park, but who knows, maybe we’ll be in Calgary again some time!

Fun Historic Visit - Charming village setting of historical interest. The Gasoline Alley Museum had some beautifully restored automobiles and more old gas pumps than you could ask for. Plus, an operating steam locomotive.

Not out-of-town visitor friendly - Heritage Park is a pleasant venue to visit, as long as you are not using their parking facilities. We visited recently, and were presented a parking ticket for parking in their lot.
As a tour operator, one lesson I learned long ago is that you NEVER ticket an out-of-town car when they are visiting! Perhaps a courtesy ticket woud have been a better choice. This is not condusive to encouraging future visits.
As a tour operator, I will be recommending that my clients bypass Heritage Park, in favor of places that are more tourist friendly.
And you should improve your signage at the lot to indicate that parking is not included in your pricey entrance fee.

Don't waste your time, especially if you're coming from Europe. Complete disappointment. - The Park is a joke! We've been to many parks/museums of this type all over the world, this is definitely the worst one. A parody. I have no idea why the locals are so proud of it, probably because they had never seen anything better. Even if it was a free admission I would still doubt if it's worth wasting my time.

Bad experience - Only one small museum was open. We did not get any experience. My child was looking forward to a boat ride, train ride and other rides. All this was closed, the park itself was closed also. There was no value for money and we just wasted our time.
