Great for kids, massive place. - We landed in Calgary and were going to drive straight to Banff but at the last minute decided to spend several hours here and we are glad we did. First of all, it is on a beautiful piece of land next to a gorgeous reservoir. It's also very educational depending on how much attention you want to pay to that aspect. There are tons of things for kids to enjoy from the different modes of transportation (train, wagon, tractor, etc) to the old time amusement park. And all of that is included with the entrance price which I appreciate as I hate being nickeled and dimed once I'm already in. To really experience everything in the park you would have to come back on multiple days because it is so large.

Great tour and a piece of history. - I went to the Heritage Park spring Ghost tour, it was a great experience. Adam was our tour guide and was truly awesome at his job. He stayed in character, talked loud and clearly and was entertaining and funny. The park has plenty of history and is a nice walk. The tour took 2.5 hours, and we got to see the inside of a couple buildings as well go to an attic of one building that is not typically open the public. It is not a truly scary event if that is what you are looking for but lots of great history and stories about ghost encounters in the park. Overall would recommend, and if you can go with Adam it will be a truly fun experience.

Fabulous exhibit! - The exhibits were amazing. We took so many photos. The venue was meticuliously maintained and all staff were friendly and knowledgable. John was a treasure trove of imformation and knew so much about all the vehicles on site. We would highly recommend.

A historical wonderland - This is my favourite attraction in Calgary and has been for twenty years. I never get tired of going there. There’s so much history to learn and I never can in one day. The people that work there are all so passionate. It’s infectious.

Ghost Walk Tour - My girlfriend @ I did the Ghost Walk Tour on Oct 17th @ 7:30 with Levi.
Levi did an awesome job telling Ghost stories and history of many of the buildings in the park. It was obvious Levi loves his job by his enthusiasm and humor. It was a neat experience walking through the park at night. Thank you for providing flashlights that we got to keep.

Terrible christmas experience - The food selection was incredibly bad. The only place to get a kid friendly lunch was the hotel and it was busy. The Cafe was also busy and in the past they served sandwiches and chili. This year they served some kind of Thai or something similar. Unfortunately customers did not know this until standing in line for a minimum 20min. The only way to see the menu was to stand in line as the menu was at the till at waist height. Many angry and disappointed customers walked out after waiting in line for nothing. This was brought up with the manager at heritage park that day. She was rude and dismissive. A customer mentioned that she was diabetic and needed to eat. After standing in line for over 20 min to find out it was a type of food not appropriate for a "family friendly" park and there were no other option other than a gingerbread man. The manager suggested to bring your own food. Seriously??For $19.99 admission to walk around a virtually closed park and ultimately a glorified christmas market we expected more from Heritage Park. It definitely was not a great Christmas experience. Nothing really for family's to do unless one pre purchased a wagon ride or stood in line for 1.5 hr for a wagon
ride and a market, no edible food and an ignorant rude manager. Seen no Carolers or any music. It was an expensive boring disappointing day only made worse by the "manager". I should have saved my money and went to the zoo lights. At least you can get a kid friendly meal there and not need to bring outside food. Do better heritage park.

Heritage Park Ghouls Night Out - We went to Ghouls Night Out on October 24, 2025. Before the pandemic we had done many years of the Halloween park night. This year was a disappointment. Upon entering the park there was a man with a microphone sitting near the old hearse. He was weird with his comments and not in a Halloween way. It was not an enjoyable way to enter or leave the event.
The volunteers giving directions and information were great. Our favorite moment was when a gentleman walked down the middle of the street calling 'make way for the dead, make way for the dead. And then a horse and carriage hearse followed, The corpse in the coffin made his presence known.
Unfortunately the park was too dark even for a Halloween event. It was so dark, we couldn't see the other guests costumes unless we were right next to them. And it was hard to view the decorations and volunteers who where dressed in Halloween costumes along the pathways as lighting was so poor. Again after attending many previous years, we found this year to have been too dark to enjoy the event.

Deceptive Membership Practices — Beware! - I’m extremely disappointed and frustrated with Heritage Park’s misleading and unfair handling of memberships. We purchased the yearly pass, expecting it to provide what was promised: unlimited access throughout the season. On Saturday, May 10, we made the 40-minute drive (with a toddler!) excited to finally enjoy the park after a long winter. We even skipped our child’s dance class to make the visit special. Instead, we were met with confusion and frustration.
To our shock, we saw more than a dozen other families with kids walking away from the entrance — all turned back because, despite being members, we had to pay full admission due to an event that day. This was never communicated via email, even though we are fully subscribed to their updates. No warning. No courtesy notice. Just a surprise charge at the gate. Apparently, the management was counting on the fact that people, having already arrived, would feel forced to pay the full admission price. So, our day was ruined.
To make matters worse, the cashier told us this would also happen on multiple dates in June. So what exactly are we paying for with this membership? Heritage Park’s management clearly believes it's acceptable to change the terms whenever it suits them — leaving paying members completely in the dark. We felt disrespected and outright cheated.

Heritage Park Roadshow Disappoints - I bought tickets to the Heritage Park Roadshow on Sunday, April 20, 2025 based on the fact that they advertised vintage side car rides and a show & shine. I went down and found out that BOTH events were NOT going on, despite being advertised! I am beyond disappointed! I will NOT be attending this event ever again! A true disappointment! Do not advertise things if they are NOT going to be happening! I've enclosed a photo of the Heritage Park website advertisement, showing that the vintage side car rides were supposed to be going on all weekend, including Apr. 20.
