The basics
Calaway Park is one of Calgary’s most popular family attractions.

Families of four (or more) can opt for a discounted family pass. Visitors over the age of 50 enjoy a discount, and children under two get in free.

When to get there
The park is open daily from May to October, with extended hours between July and early September. Plan to visit on a weekday during the spring and fall shoulder seasons for shorter lines and sparser crowds. Some rides won’t operate in inclement weather.
