Sky Wynder
Calaway Park is Western Canada’s Largest Outdoor Family Amusement Park. The park opened its doors in 1982 and has grown from a small amusement park to one of Calgary’s best attractions! The park spans 160 acres and has a collection of 32 rides and 19 midway games, plus live entertainment, the Cinemagic 3D theatre, the Haunted Hotel, and the CP Spray n’ Play splash pad. With numerous attractions, top-notch entertainment, and rides for your wee ones right up through full-sized thrill-seekers, it’s fun for the whole family! And if you’re looking for the complete staycation experience, stay at the Calaway RV Park and Campground, just a short walk away. Spend the night under the stars and wake up with a view of the mountains.
Bumble Blast
