Activity Guide

Opening Weekend May 18 - 20

 

Take a journey back in time and discover how the west was once!

History comes to life in the homes, shops and on the streets of
the Historical Village and in the Settlement.

Enjoy a scenic horse-drawn wagon ride around the Park, experience the thrill of an antique midway or take a ride on our thundering steam train.

Savour a mouth-watering cheese bun from the Alberta Bakery, old-fashioned candy from the Claresholm General Store or enjoy a leisurely lunch in the elegant Wainwright Hotel.

Our friendly costumed townsfolk will be happy to share with you
the stories of the pioneers who helped settle Western Canada.

 

Please note: Due to the low water levels in the Glenmore Reservoir, the S.S. Moyie is not wheelchair accessible at this time.
The large Ferris Wheel will not be operating this weekend.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
