great spot to visit for amazing views of calgary. the glass floor add a fun thrill and the city looks beautiful at sunset. recommended to visit
I loved watching the parade during Stampede from the Calgary tower side.
I was here for a short visit. It was a nice site to see, and the area is very walkable. For a small fee, you can go up the tower to enjoy the magnificient views of Calgary. But even if you don’t go up, the surrounding area is filled with shops and reataurants you can enjoy.
Nice experience. We have visited on weekday and there was no line. It just takes few minutes to reach to the Observatory Floor. The views are great and there's a short video on the construction and modifications that give a little history to the tower. There are a-lot of spot for photos. You can see city in 360 view as well as snowy peaks. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Ticket prices was bit higher side but it worth to spend one time. Gift shop was good with a-lot of items , Like it..
We enjoyed our visit to Calgary Tower. It was a nice touristy thing to do while in Calgary. We stood on the transparent step-out (got a little dizzy!) which is impressive, and the birds-eye views of Calgary are beautiful. We watched the video of the history and read some of the placards around the tower. It was a brief visit, but we enjoyed it as part of our Calgary sight-seeing.
The highlight of the tower is the glass floor section, which is both thrilling and a little bit nerve-wracking! Standing on the glass and looking straight down at the city streets below was a memorable experience that added a unique touch to the visit.The tower also has interactive displays that provide interesting information about Calgary's history, culture, and the tower itself, making it an educational experience as well as a scenic one.
