Taylor Kellard, The Independent Traveller


“I was surprised by Edmonton and Calgary, especially


the emphasis on farm-to-fork cooking. I enjoyed their passion and creativity for food and hadn’t realised the culinary craze in both cities. My highlight was Prairie Gardens and Adventure Farm – it has something for the whole family to enjoy.”


in stargazing programmes in the wider park – part of a dark-sky preserve – with a higher-than- average chance of seeing the northern lights. Elsewhere in the park there are black bears, coyotes, moose, beavers, deer and occasional lynx, alongside more than 250 species of birds. And in


winter guided snowshoeing tours can take clients out to see them all. Who said Alberta was just about the Rockies?

Sarah Bell, Travel Counsellors “I’ve always thought of both cities as a starting point


for the Rockies, rather than as destinations in themselves.


So I was pleasantly surprised by how endearing both cities were, with their river locations, high-rise backdrops and offerings in and out of the city. I loved the Badlands’ spectacular canyons and would encourage clients to spend a little longer in each city to allow time to take an excursion or drive out to explore the surrounding countryside.”


Jane Haughey, Your Holiday Booking


“Both cities would make a good


add-on to a longer


holiday, particularly for the Calgary Stampede. I especially enjoyed the food tour in Calgary and think the Heritage Village would be great for a family day out.”
