Pancakes unlike you have had before. Larger than dinner plate sized pancakes that you can get sweet, savoury, or dessert style. It is a 20-30 minute walk from our house and worth it to work up your appetite. Go during the week if possible, weekends are super busy.

We are beekeepers and love our honey! At Chinook they have an indoor hive where you can safely observe the bees, sample honey and mead (honey wine), as well as get fresh locally-made ice cream on a hot day.

Parks & Nature

It is a very short drive right down the end of 37 St. SW to this beautiful park. If you choose to walk or bike around the reservoir, it is about 11 miles. You will pass by Heritage Park, also a very interesting place to check out.

Easy access near our home, great to bike, walk or run around the 13 km loop. You will also pass by the historic Heritage Park on the southeast side of the reservoir. No motor boats are allowed on the water, however you can rent kayaks and canoes from the Canoe Club for less than $30 and explore the area.

We love heading out of town for a quick get away to Elbow Falls. On your way out there, stop at the Cinnamon Spoon Cafe or Creekers in Bragg Creek for your morning coffee and snack.

Entertainment & Activities

We have been members at this zoo for a number of years and we sometimes end up going once a week. Never seem to get old! It is a great destination in winter to absorb the moist, warm air in the tropical areas of the zoo. Beautiful flower gardens and exciting dinosaur exhibits in the summer.
