Calaway Park Ltd

It isn't the greatest, or the best amusement park I have ever been to. But it is our amusement park.
The park is great for kids. And trust me, it is full of them. The rides are good for everyone, and they have many rides that the family can enjoy together. They have some thrill rides that are good for teenagers and adults alike.
Certainly a good value for a whole days fun, and if you watch the local newspapers and tourists guides, you will almost certainly find coupons, which will get the whole family in at a reasonable rate.

Great family fun when you are around Calgary, AB. Be sure to buy your tickets online for half price (a minimum of 4 tickets need to be purchased to get this deal).

I remember spending endless hours at Calaway Park when I was a kid. We'd pretty much go there every few weekends and take a picnic lunch to have somewhere on the grounds. For dessert, we'd always have a waffle cone garnished with sprinkles, cherries & whipped cream, and share it two ways with spoons. Mmmmm DELISH.
I recently took a nostalgic trip back to Calaway and, while it wasn't AS amazing as I remember it, it's still a nice little amusement park that we've got so close to the city.
It takes about 15 minutes to drive there from downtown Calgary and it has a lot of the rides that major amusement parks have. Ie: The Log Ride, Rollercoaster, Ferris Wheel, etc etc.
If you're someone who is used to visits to Canada's Wonderland (in Ontario), I can guarantee that you'll be disappointed, so don't bother. It's A LOT smaller and A LOT more basic, but to be fair, it is A LOT closer to the city.
If you need an amusement park fix and Disney Land/Disney World aren't feasible for a weekend getaway, then give Calaway Park a shot.
It's not the greatest amusement park in the world, but it's a small, cute one that does the trick if you've got small kids or are stuck babysitting.
Kids need distractions and this place will definitely keep them busy for a few hours.

Calaway Park is Western Canada's largest amusement park and campground. It is situated just west of the city along the TransCanada Highway. Calaway park is awesome for kids. Without another amusement park in the area (besides the wild plethora of rides available at the Calgary Stampede during the first week in July), it's the perfect place to chill out and hit the rides on a hot summer day.
They have a roller coaster, a spray-ground area to cool off, fresh eats, and cool treats. The park is run well and the staff are both friendly and competent. Of course, Calaway can be a touch pricey, but it's all worth it, considering you can't really experience an amusement park anywhere else.
Calaway is where kids come to play. Trust me, bring the family along.
