π¨π¦ Calgary 5 Days & 4 Nights Travel Guide (Part 2)
As you can tell, the first two days of this guide covered the classic Calgary spots. But by days 3 and 4β¦ I went totally off the beaten path! π€£ Day 03: Mt Pleasant View Point β Crescent Heights Lookout Point β Caesar's Steak House & Lounge Had some errands in the morning, so no major sightseeing. In the afternoon, I walked north from DT to two riverside viewpoints. Loved the slope-side path at Crescent Heights Lookout Point β you get a full view of downtown Calgary and the Bow River ποΈπ. Lots of locals walking their dogs, too! Butβ¦ yeah, late April scenery was still a bit bare π. Calgary trees, why you no leaf yet? π Everyone says you have to try Alberta beef, so I went to Caesar's for steak. But if you like your steak well-done (like me), maybe skip it β they tend to overcook it. Their salad was great though! Baby lettuce with walnuts, bacon bits, and a perfect vinaigrette π₯. Day 04: TELUS Spark Science Centre β Esker Foundation β Fort Calgary β The Military Museums β Grey Eagle Resort and Casino A day of exhibitions! Started at the TELUS Spark Science Centre β currently hosting a Da Vinci machines exhibit + an immersive cosmic light room π. Lots of interactive installations β super fun for kids! I even caught a little science show π§ͺπ§. Esker Foundation β free art gallery in Inglewood (from my previous post). Easy to combine with other stops in the area. Fort Calgary β a museum about the cityβs development over the past century, including immigration history ποΈ. The Military Museums β stumbled upon this on the way to Grey Eagle. Surprisingly large, with its own library. Iβm not into military stuff, but it felt like a lesson in peace ποΈ. Seeing all those powerful weapons, lists of fallen soldiers, and decorated generalsβ¦ it hits different when you realize β in war, nobody wins. Ended the day with a buffet at Grey Eagle. Didnβt make it for Asian Night (Wed), so tried Steak Night (Fri). Okay selection, nothing amazing. Overall, I enjoyed Calgary! The city feels very family-friendly, and DT feels safe to walk around. But the food didnβt wow me, and winters are loooong (classic Canada π ). Probably wouldnβt move here β though the housing prices are tempting lol! Next time, Iβm hitting those mountains and lakes I missed! ποΈ #Calgary #CalgaryTravel #CalgaryGuide #51Vlog π§³πΈ
