Amazing outing for the kids, lots of space to run and play, plus well designed educational zones. Entry fee is reasonable, and there's a senior discount for the grandparents! Farmers Market and the main floor cafe is a bit over priced but I think that's expected. My kiddos loved petting the goats and seeing a Turkey up close. This place is totally worth the drive, especially if you bring your own lunch! (Ample picnic tables and eating areas available)

What a pleasant surprise! I wasn’t too sure what we were getting into when making the drive west of Calgary and through the rolling hills to Granary Road. The location was well signed and it was easy to determine where we needed to park and get entry tickets. The line in the gift shop was about 5 people long but proceeded quickly. The staff member did a good job at ringing us through and putting on the wristbands which Also allow patrons re-entry if needed to the park. The gift shop was clean, neat and well organized with both touristy trinkets, educational stuff for the kids, and little snacks. The entry gate looks like it had recently been kicked off the hinges, but I’m pretty sure it’s fixed by now. The first thing I noticed was how well the facility was signed. Lots of different outdoor activities for the kids to explore and learn about things like ; aunts, butterflies , frogs, bees, bats, all while having tons of time to play and have fun too. We saw some live chickens which the kids could feed. 99% of the equipment for the kids was in like-new condition. 1 slide was closed for repair, but was well marked and closed off very professionally so nobody would get hurt. There is food on-site like; cotton candy, hot dogs, ice cream, drinks, right near the kids attractions, as well as a restaurant and other types of food and beverages and home made pizza. No issues here. The entry fees are a little on the expensive side, so it won’t be a place to come each weekend , but still a good time. If you haven’t been, I’d recommended it for sure .

Amazing place for kids and parents to enjoy! Love the outdoor farm and foothills atmosphere! It does get super busy, so I would recommend coming early if you don’t enjoy crowds. Market place has a good variety of vendors. Didn’t give it 5 stars due to cost of food and access to the park area. Food is good and park area is super fun for the kids however! If you come more than twice, I would recommend the annual membership.

This place has lots to offer for families with kids. There are many outdoor attractions involving various activities kids love. I highly recommend going early in the day to start your day at the farm as there are lots to see. The only problem we encountered was the path way which was solely made up of gravel. We had trouble walking with our stroller as the wheels dug into the gravel. I noticed many other parents have the same problem. The market place is another very interesting area of the farm that catches a lot of attention. It offers a variety of vendors that sell pizza, coffee, natural cherry juice, salami, pepperoni, honey, baked goods, etc. One can easily spend another hour in the market place. Overall, it is a very good place to spend a productive day with the family.

I took my nephew as I’ve been trying to decide if I would take my students here on a field trip. I went on the Saturday of the Canada Day long weekend and it wasn’t too bad, the park is big and it didn’t feel like there were a lot of people in the activity park even though the parking lot was full. The market was nice, but only a few fresh food (vegetables and fruit) vendors (I thought there would be more, maybe it was the day I went?). There were lots of artisan/handicraft vendors and then more food vendors (pizza, cheeses, baked goods, ice cream, etc). The activity park was well spread out and it kept my nephew busy with all the different play structures, and he loved the petting zoo area. I know some of the teachers from my school have been to Granary Road with their students (Kindergarten) and I think that’s a great age, I think for my grade 3 students I would probably stick with the zoo from an educational standpoint (the cost is the same), but I’m sure they’d love to just play. They do have informative signs and mini amphitheatres around the activity park. There are bathrooms in the main building and in the activity park.
