Heritage Park Historical Village

Travel back in time...and discover the treasures of the past at Heritage Park, Canada’s largest historical village. Guests are treated to all the sights, sounds and sensations of pre-1914 western Canada.

Heritage Park features over 66 acres (27 ha) of lush parkland, more than 150 historical exhibits, and daily interpretive activities. Framed by the majestic Rocky Mountains, surrounded by billowing trees and blue water, Heritage Park beckons to those individuals who appreciate a truly western experience.

Climb aboard our train pulled by a thundering steam locomotive. Ride in a relaxing horse-drawn wagon through a bygone era. Step onto the deck of our sternwheeler and cruise the blue waters beside the park. See the Mounties stand tall in their scarlet tunics as ladies bustle about the railway town.

Watch the blacksmith as he moulds steel into horseshoes over the hot coals. Savour the delicious aroma and taste of a hearty lunch in the elegant Wainwright Hotel, or indulge in a tasty treat from the Alberta Bakery.

Time is on your side as you explore our pioneer past, because at Heritage Park you’ll have the greatest time in History!

Open daily 9-5 from Victoria Day long weekend in May until Labour Day in September. Open weekends and partially open weekdays until Canadian Thanksgiving in October. Admission is charged. 1900 Heritage Drive SW, Calgary. . E-mail:
