Places to go when it's cold in Calgary
See All Lists
1. Bird Dog Video - CLOSED
Before I even knew where Bird Dog video was, I knew that it was the spot to find movies you wouldn't normally dig up at your local Blockbuster. And its reputation does not disappoint.
Walking into Bird Dog Video, the place even smelled of old movies.…More »
2. Jim-Bows Archery Ltd
Some friends and I booked in as a group at Jim-Bow's to try our hands at some archery. Jim-Bow himself (yep, he calls himself Jim-Bow, as do all of his regular customers) set us up with our combination bows and walked us through from start to finish…More »
3. Crossroads Market
I was once a vendor in the Crossroads Market. I think that lasted about three whole weeks when my old roommate and I got it into our heads that we were going to try and sell hand painted reproductions that were imported from China (ask me for the…More »
4. Scotiabank Theatre Chinook Centre
What's there to know about Scotiabank Theatre? Not a whole heck of a lot except it's busy (and is it just me? Or have do the staff appear a bit older than those working there a couple of years ago?)
If you're going on any popular movie night, expect…More »
5. LP Family Foods
*Hand raised* Sometimes, I am that person who's too lazy to head to Coop or Safeway. 10 blocks is a long way in the cold, and with LP so close, I get to be nice to the environment and leave my car in the garage! Another bonus, I certainly don't have…More »
6. Glenbow Museum
We've got a pretty sweet museum on our hands... that's right, on our hands. Because there's no point in an awesome museum without locals coming to visit to help keep it on its feet.
Right now, the Glenbow's hosting the Watch Me Move exhibit, an…More »

How have I lived in Calgary for nearly 6 years and not been to the museum? Shame on me for not going… Read more »
7. Mountain View Bowl
Mountain View Bowl's got its pros and cons, but overall, it's got a good thing going on. I love that we could choose between bowling 5-pin or 10-pin. The only drawback here is that it makes for a limited amount of lanes on either side. The lanes and…More »
8. iTea-A Place For Tea
Move over tea fans, it's time to teapot like you've never teapotted before. So hop on over to Itea and pour yourself a spot of tea!
Have you ever been inside a Chinese tea house? Me neither. Is there even such a thing? I have no idea, but I suspect if…More »
9. Higher Ground
Higher Ground, you've officially fed me my first entirely vegan meal. And I'm happy to admit I haven't turned into a rabbit eating anti-meat fanatic. In fact, I feel quite full and content. I swear they knew what the weather would be before they…More »
10. Let's Bowl
I haven't been bowling in ages. But there are still plenty of folks out at Let's Bowl keeping the lanes busy on a Saturday night. Be prepared for about an hour's wait for a lane if you're there around 9pm. Thankfully, there's a bar area to hang out…More »
11. Heritage Park
Calgary, AB T2V 2X3
(403) 268-8500
I haven't spent much time out at Heritage Park, but after having been there for a party earlier on in the week, I think I'll be heading back to check out more! We had a function in the Founders Room, inside the Gasoline Alley Museum. Walking through…More »
