"Market Mall is another one of the best places to shop in Calgary, of which has undergone a fairly recent renovation and expansion that added more retail space to its portfolio. It happens to be one of the only single-floor shopping centres as well, so if stairs are an issue for you or a loved one it's definitely your best best. After renovations, Market Mall's ranking on the list of best places to shop in Calgary increased considerably as it added much needed retailers and heated underground parking for visitors to use during the colder seasons."

"CF Market Hall is one of Calgary’s biggest shopping outlets, and most popular with families. It’s got roughly 200 independent stores selling familiar brands of jewelry, footwear and clothes. Dig in – you’ll need a couple of fleeces if you’re visiting Calgary in the winter!"

"Market Mall is one of the largest malls (by area) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada (900,490 square feet/83,658.3 m²). It is located in Varsity,…"

"If you are looking for the largest variety of retail shops all in one location, then Chinook Centre Mall is your best bet!. Owner Cadillac Fairview just recently completed a massive expansion project at Chinook Centre back in 2012 which added an additional 180,000 square feet of space at a cost of $277 million bucks. It introduced a number of outlet style shops previously not found in Calgary such as Nordstrom, for example, adding even more diversity to the mall's retail portfolio."

"CF Chinook Centre is Calgary’s largest shopping, dining, and entertainment destination with over 250 stores. Major department stores like Hudson’s Bay, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue, make it easy to spend the day at CF Chinook Centre. Take in a movie at Scotiabank Cineplex, try your hand at 5 pin bowling at the Chinook Bowladrome, or enjoy a casual meal at Double Zero Pizza."

"Our favorite – favouritest (sorry I ran out of superlatives here) spot in Calgary. Colorful, vibrant, and lively lane – this is the Stephen Avenue Walk. Also my favorite because it is sprinkled with historical facts in every nook and corner of this lane (so watch out for those)."

"Stephen Avenue has long been known as one of the most vibrant areas of Calgary. With countless restaurants, shops, activities, events and more, it attracts thousands of people every day. Stephen Avenue is a must stop for visitors to Calgary!"

"CrossIron Mills is the spot to shop if you're looking for outlet savings or big brand stores you won't find elsewhere in the city. With 100 outlets and over 200 stores, CrossIron Mills has everything from deals at upscale retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue Off Fifth to the outdoor outfitter Bass Pro Shops. Bass Pro Shops is a truly unique shopping experience, with antiques, artifacts, trophy fish and wildlife, and Alberta murals throughout 150,000 square feet of adventurous entertainment."

"Cross Iron Mills is the newest shopping mall addition to the Calgary region. Located just north of the city in between Calgary and Airdrie, it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to reach from the city limits and offers an outlet shopping experience like no other in the region. Cross Iron Mills is home to over 200 restaurants, shops and services, making the trip out well worth it."

"While fried chicken and waffles is a tried and true brunch classic, Blue Star Diner created its own version by replacing the waffles with pancakes. This Bridgeland restaurant emphasizes the importance of community, and puts its money where its mouth is by using local ingredients in their dishes. For the fried chicken and pancakes, the bacon and honey are both sourced locally."

"The large menu makes decisions difficult, but you can’t go wrong with any of the Mexican-inspired dishes, from the huevos rancheros to the breakfast burritos. Combine that with a front-and-centre local ingredient focus and the casual, chill vibe and you have a good start to a Saturday or Sunday."

"Not only do they have amazing cesars, a huge portion of their menu is (and can be made) gluten free!!"

"This bright, eclectic coffee shop in the heart of Bowness is the perfect place to grab a nice breakfast with little ones. If they’re really well-behaved during breakfast, you can always treat them to a skate around the Bowness lagoon. (6407 Bowness Rd. N.W., 403-247-9955, cadencecoffee.com, @cadence_coffee)"

"A photo posted by cadence coffee (@cadence_coffee) on Oct 29, 2016 at 11:21am PDT. Cadence serves its breakfast menu until its kitchen closes daily at 4 pm. Diners can order Breakfast On A Bagel, or indulge in some more hearty like the Power Breakfast or Huevos Rancheros."

"McHugh Bluff is a gorgeous park that spans two northwest Calgary neighborhoods and has panoramic views of Bow River, Prince’s Island Park and downtown. While it’s also a popular place to watch the Canada Day fireworks, you should visit during the off-season and go at night to see Calgary lit up by the stars. It’s very “bright lights in the big city.” Recommended by local insider Coco Hiu Tung"

"McHugh Bluff Park sits alongside Memorial Drive in northwest Calgary. The park spans across two residential communities making it truly convenient for residents. McHugh Bluff Park is also quite close to the city centre, making it a popular location for commuters, joggers, and dog walkers."

"McHugh Bluff in the Crescent Height neighborhood is the best place to get great skyline photos of Calgary. It is a steep bluff overlooking the city with a viewing platform, and a staircase that descends down the bluff provides an excellent view of the city."

"Head on down the the northwest corner of Calgary to check out Riley Park. This beautiful 9 hectare park is complete with a cricket pitch, wading pool, gardens, playground, and all the other amenities a family would need like washrooms, water fountains, and a concession. Although Riley Park has a wading pool and not a spray park I thought I would include it on my list as it is one of my family's favourite places to cool off in the summer."

"Riley Park is a lovely destination park located in northwest Calgary, next to the Kensington shopping center. Riley Park was once a key component of the Cochrane Ranch, which spanned 146,000 acres. The farm was homesteaded by Thomas and Georgina Riley and their family of ten children in 1888, and after Thomas’ death in 1909, the land was returned to The City of Calgary."

"Located right in Calgary’s inner city, this picnic spot is just down the hill from SAIT and up the road from the hustle and bustle of Kensington. Buy some picnic supplies from Sunnyside Natural Market and spend the whole day in the park. There’s a cricket pitch for the sports fans, a playground and flower and rock gardens."

"Fill the day of love exploring the indoor botanical gardens of Devonian Gardens. Immerse yourself in nature indoors in the heart of Calgary with over 500 types of trees, 50 plant species, magical water features, and even fish ponds!. Keep warm in this free space that might even be the picture-perfect place to get down on one knee!"

"This large botanical refuge is an indoor oasis located on the top floor of the CORE Shopping Centre.​​​ It is a relaxing indoor garden that you will want to come back to regularly. Learn more about Devonion Gardens"

"One thing about Calgary’s bar scene is its tendency to ebb and flow together through current trends. Barcades (bar + arcade) are the hottest thing in clubs since a dance floor these days and new kid on the block Greta Bar pulls out all the stops. With its colourful atmosphere, pumping music, 50 games, two floors, indoor food truck serving globally inspired street eats and yes, even a dance floor, Greta takes adult entertainment (of a different kind) to the next level."
