**********
If you need help, here are six fun and family-friendly staycation ideas right in Calgary:
1) Float the Bow River ?
Kick off your summer with a leisurely paddle down the Bow River via The Paddle Station—perfect for cooling off and taking in city views from a whole new angle.
2) Explore Fish Creek Provincial Park ?
With over 100 km of walking and biking trails, plus Sikome Lake for a swim or picnic, it's a natural breakout spot inside the city.
3) Heritage Park Historical Village
Step back in time at Canada’s largest living history museum—complete with vintage train rides, historic buildings, and costumed characters.
4) Calgary Zoo / Wilder Institute ?
Visit over 1,000 animals across immersive habitats like Destination Africa, lemur zones, and a botanical conservatory—one of Canada's top zoos.
5) Calaway Park Amusement Day ?
Just outside the city, this massive amusement park offers rides, carnivals, and even a campground—ideal for a one‑day thrill fest
6) Bowness & Bowmont Park Adventure ?
Spend a day cycling scenic pathways, exploring waterfall valleys, boating at Bowness Park lagoon, and enjoying riverside picnic spots.
