Visit the penguins at Calgary Zoo.
raffes and snow leopards are among the wide-ranging animals to view at the zoo. A flood devastated the zoo in 2013, cost- ing it $50 million in damages and forc- ing it to relocate dozens of animals, but it is restored to its former glory and ex- pecting more larger-than-life excitement with its moving, noisemaking dinosaurs en-route.

Stephen Avenue is a must for people watching. But don’t ditch the city without giv-
ing it a full scoping – it really is worth taking in on the other 355 days of the year when it isn’t crawling with cow- pokes.

phen Avenue Walk to frequent its rows of busy bars and restaurants, especially the oil and gas types you hope to spot while people-watching in Calgary. Te Stephen Avenue Walk is an outdoor pedestrian walkway closed to daytime

Enter Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters, which now boasts five locations where you can drink its ethi- cally sourced coffee roasted in-house: at its office and roasterie on 16th Street, Marda Loop, Chinook Centre, Mission District and the Symons Valley Ranch Farmers Market. Tubby Dog
Another great all-ages venue, Tubby
Dog serves inventive hot dogs and dis- creetly sells homemade tacos one night of the week (Tuesdays, shh). It pays homage to all forms of kitsch and pop culture memorabilia on its walls, and pays special attention to junk food col- lectibles (naturally).

Tubby Dogs are also available in a window at another rising music venue, Commonwealth Bar and Stage.
