Treat your tastebuds to the culinary experience of a lifetime as we visit everything from Shokunin to Ten Foot Henry (as featured on Netflix and "The 100 Best" Magazine). We'll stop by the most Instagram-famous photo opportunities and engage in a scavenger hunt of all the city's mural-splashed buildings. Finally, we'll visit the architecturally breathtaking "Bell Studios" interactive music museum, and the stunning "Central Library." What is included in the cost? - Hotel stay (Shared rooms) - Transportation fees - Museum entrance fees. - Visits to brand new and major cultural landmarks: The Bell Studio Interactive Music Museum, and the Architecturally Breathtaking Central Library. So that everyone enjoys the amazing food to the max and enjoys total freedom of selection, the cost of food will NOT be included in the trip. Finally, we'll paddle down the bow river, and find a beautiful spot for a picnic before getting our bikes and cycling through the Peace Bridge. The hotel we'll be staying in will be downtown for easy access to ALL of Calgary's best.

This architectural landmark is not only incredible on the outside- with its gravity defying aesthetic, and dragon-like scales- it is also offers interactive experiences with unique and uncommon instruments for the public to test and play with. For an entry fee below $25 per person, musical afficionados can spend HOURS exploring all its features.

The Central Library is one of the city's newest investments, and is considered an architectural masterpiece. Luckily, the exterior of the building is just as impressive as the interior, and this gem in the city regularly hosts live cultural events for performers and art.

The Paddle Station

Day 2-3
This exciting opportunity is a MUST in Calgary during the summer! We'll take a lazy stroll down the Bow River, and see the city through a different perspective. We'll stop midway through the rafting trip, and have ourselves a river picnic before finishing this 3-hour float through downtown. We'll take turns playing games, jumping in the water, and dodging mini-waterfalls as we stay on the lookout for that perfect picnic spot. Make sure to bring your swimming trunks and sun screen, because the Calgary sun is no joke!
