4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2012 NEW

“Fantastic ALberta Gem!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2012 NEW

So much to see and do! Loved it all, kids loved it all, we could have spent 12 hours there, and still had things to see. Were disappointed that the gardens and playground were closed for renovations. Too bad they could not have been done in the winter. More
