Western Canada's largest? amusement park. Attractions include a roller coaster, train ride, log ride, Ferris wheel, and many other amusement park classics. Entrance is with a "one price, all rides" ticket. Many? Calgarians buy a season's pass before the park's? mid-May opening, for huge savings. Calgary Co-op grocery stores sell Calaway Park advance tickets, for half the gate price, during the summer. The Co-op has nearly 20 locations, including one? near the downtown core.

There are rides suitable for all ages, as well as the classic prize games (for an additional charge per game). During summer, there are daily live shows offered indoors and outdoors. There are also many food concessions, featuring amusement park pricing on food. However, you may pack a picnic lunch and eat it at the picnic area inside the amusement park.

On days with poor weather, you may find that the park is closed or is being run with a skeleton staff. (Try asking for a rain cheque at Customer Services if you've paid for an admission, and then the weather turns bad.)

Located on Hwy 1 about 10 minutes west of? Calgary-? use Exit 169. There is an RV campground adjoining the park, with full hook-ups available.
