A Great Way to Learn about Life around Calgary - After spending almost a week in Banff National Park, we had just one day to spend in Calgary, and I’m so very glad that we decided to go to Heritage Park for most of it. Being a train lover, I really enjoyed the train ride with the steam locomotive. One tip - while I don’t know if it is always this way, be aware that the train does not stop at every station on a trip around the park. But that wasn’t a problem because we had a nice rest on one of the many benches by the station. (We’re in our active 70’s, but pacing ourselves really helps.) My wife and her twin sister also really enjoyed the carousel and Ferris wheel, and the other “old-time” amusement park rides looked enjoyable as well. We had a wonderful lunch at the Wainwright Hotel and thoroughly enjoyed going through the various houses and other buildings throughout the grounds. We didn’t have time to go to the Gasoline Alley museum or ride the trolley at the front of the park, but who knows, maybe we’ll be in Calgary again some time!

Fun Historic Visit - Charming village setting of historical interest. The Gasoline Alley Museum had some beautifully restored automobiles and more old gas pumps than you could ask for. Plus, an operating steam locomotive.

Good historic park - Visited this with my brother and was surprised with the variety of history offered. It was good to walk around seeing different properties etc. disappointed that the Steamer was not sailing and whilst going around a lot of the exhibits were closed so didn’t feel great value for money. Train was good, well staffed. Most staff were friendly and knowledgeable of their subject. Good ice cream job. Worth a visit

Travel through time - A memorable experience! A journey through time. A host of attractions, DE the saloon brawl to the funeral. I recommend the ride EN train d’period. It stops in the heart of the village which allows DE see the attractions then we take the road again. Areas DE pique napque. Games for children. Count 20 euros the all-inclusive entrance. See the Car Museum,

Great for a young family - We went on a fairly rainy day so the place was relatively quiet. The staff were friendly and accommodating. There was lots to see and do there - our kids loved the mini midway.

Clean, knowledgeable staff - Great place for kids to learn about wildlife however on the downside the animals looked bored to me.

worth it only if you have the time and energy to do most of the village - This is a strange combination of historic village, animal farm, train and boat rides, amusement park, and transportation museum. It is quite large, large enough that a full size train goes around the park with four station stops. Because all the different parts run together, you have to buy admission for the entire park, which costs $27 (US). Because there is so much to do, the price isn't bad, but if you don't have the time or inclination (it was in the mid-80s when we went, too hot to walk far), then it's too expensive. We just wanted to see the Gasoline Alley Museum but had to pay the same as everyone else. The museum had a good antique car collection, and an excellent antique truck collection, mainly delivery and gasoline trucks. It also had a great collection of antique gasoline pumps in mint condition. In fact, they were so clean they looked like reproductions. As long as we were there, we took the train ride. It's a quarter mile walk to the nearest station. The train runs every few minutes and has 19th century passenger cars and wood benches, so not comfortable but it's only a 5 minute ride or so. The boat on the river wasn't running, no explanation. The amusement rides are mainly for children. In fact, the entire park is geared towards families with young children.

Good, but in decline? - Still a pretty good place to visit. However, it is seeing signs of a deteriation. Visited many times over the last 3 years. On any given day there seem to be several of the historical buildings/exhibits that are not open - even during the peak summer months. Not enough staff on the museum side? Also, it is a relatively rare day when the streetcar, steam train, and paddle wheeler are ALL running. The paddle wheeler has not been operating for a long time this year (since early July 2025 according to their wdbsite) and heard that there were days when all 3 were not operating! This last weekend, even the premiere food service building in the historical town square (Wainwright Hotel) was closed because of some sort of maintenance problem. Hope they can turn it around but the trend since COVID has been very concerning.

Not out-of-town visitor friendly - Heritage Park is a pleasant venue to visit, as long as you are not using their parking facilities. We visited recently, and were presented a parking ticket for parking in their lot. As a tour operator, one lesson I learned long ago is that you NEVER ticket an out-of-town car when they are visiting! Perhaps a courtesy ticket woud have been a better choice. This is not condusive to encouraging future visits. As a tour operator, I will be recommending that my clients bypass Heritage Park, in favor of places that are more tourist friendly. And you should improve your signage at the lot to indicate that parking is not included in your pricey entrance fee.

You can’t just see the museum. - We were really excited to see the gasoline alley museum. Unfortunately when we got here, the entrance was $40 per person because it included the park. We had no interest in going into the park just the museum, but you can’t buy tickets for just the museum. So we had lunch at Selkirk‘s, which is good and then went home. Very disappointed.
