Ok so I lived in Calgary for four years - but never when I had kids. Im going to some bullridings in the states for a couple days but left the wife and kids in Calgary. Im gonna take them to the zoo when I get back, but what else is there for a three year old to do in the meantime? And I know this question has been asked a million times but a short list of calgary fish stores would be great. Im gonna PM Snappy, but where alse? There was a thread on here not long ago with the same question so sorry for not doing more homework! thanks for the help. Im sure my daughter will thank you as well. I guess i could send her to the places I had fun in Calgary - on second thought maybe not. But the burgers at the "maid" really are good!

boogie burgers on edmonton trail, plus you can go to wai's and ocean city

Princes Island Park is great spot, as its gonna be great weather this week.

Bring a couple lawn chairs and posting up in the bow river is a must.

You could check out Shakers. I've never been there but it's supposed to be a pretty fun place. It's off of Glenmore Trail kinda on the way out of Town (going east).

Even though I do not buy livestock from these places any more, pisces (currently in the process of moving to a new building) and big als have a giant aquarium that might interest a 3yro. But if she has purchasing power then the above named fish stores are great.
Also Chuck-E-Cheese is fun =). They are close to Sunridge but I heard they were moving to another location.

Don't forget Heritage Park! :) You can combine it with a trip to the South Glenmore water playpark too if you like.

There is not a 3 year old alive who wouldn't love Heritage Park. There are three things I get yearly passes for - the zoo, the Science Centre and HP. Don't know how I'd get through the year without these actually.

If you go to Heritage Park make sure you ride the train, kids love that!
