Tour Details
Your visit to Fort Calgary will begin with a brief history of the founding of Fort Calgary and the founding of the North West Mounted Police in Canada. Your group will be greeted by our interpretive staff who will bring to life the defining moments in the opening of the Canadian and American West through authentic experiences and our original location. A video presentation is included to enrich your guest experience. The remaining portion of your tour will be self directed. At this time, you are free to explore our 40 acre park and interpretive centre at your leisure. Be sure to take time to have your picture taken in an authentic Mounted Police uniform. Also leave time to explore the park along the scenic Bow and Elbow rivers.
For this total package, we recommend you schedule a minimum of 2 hours. If you have less time, our tour guide will customize the tour to meet the needs of your group, staying within your time limit.
