3 Ideas for a Memorable Mother’s Day in Calgary

Flowers? Check. Hand-made card? Check. Brunch reservations? Check.

Sure, all of the above are essentials for any Mother’s Day, but this year, why not take it a step further and plan to have an amazing experience that you’ll remember for years to come? Calgary and its amazing surrounding area is filled with many experiences waiting to happen, and seeing as we’re off the streets this (and every) Sunday, it’s likely you’ll find our family out at one of the following places as well!

Here are three of our top recommendations for a special Mother’s Day:

1 – Take a hike/walk/bike in Fish Creek Park. Not only is this our very favourite sanctuary in our sprawling city, but it is also one of Canada’s largest urban parks. Whether you’d prefer a long distance bike ride, or perhaps a nature walk along the park’s extensive pathway system, there’s truly something for everyone in this breathtaking park that spans 20 KM in the south of the city.

2 – Explore Inglewood. Known as Calgary’s oldest neighborhood, Inglewood truly has it all. Whether you’re interested in a light stroll along 9th Ave to check out the area’s many shops and restaurants, or if nature is more your speed, there’s always the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, and of course the Calgary Zoo.

3 – Take in a performance at the Epcor Centre for Performing Arts. With many venues under one roof, there’s no shortage of entertainment options for everyone. There are a likely a number of matinees on Mother’s Day.

These are just a few of our favourite things to do in and around Calgary, what are your favs?

Happy Mother’s Day to all the special ladies out there!
