Comedy

National Music Centre

Laughter is the best medicine and I believe it!  A night out at the comedy club always makes me so happy. I've seen comedians that made me laugh until tears streamed down my face. Great for a fun cheap night out.

Cakeify Studio

National Music Centre

National Music Centre

Cakeify is a really cute bakery studio where us regular folks with no baking experience can bake delicious treats! Make a cake, cookies or cupcakes. You can do it as a night out with the girls or as a fun family activity (there are events for both!).

Have you tried axe throwing before?   It's a unique way to spend an afternoon. It's exactly like it sounds, you throw various sized axes at a target board and see how well you can do. They also serve alcohol.

Sit back and relax and enjoy a free show put on by Theatre Calgary.  Make sure you show up early as these get packed! Note, these shows are outdoors so they don't run on bad weather days.

Pedal Pub

Shakespeare on the Bow

Shakespeare on the Bow

I was skeptical about the Pedal Pub because it is pricy and what's so great about drinking on a giant bicycle? Well, I was wrong, it is SO fun. I love the pedal pub, I've been twice, and both times I power-drank a LOT of beer.  This is not for the faint of heart!

Pedal Pub

Stampeders Game

Shakespeare on the Bow

Downhill Go Karts

Confession, I barely like football, but even I think Stamps games are fun. Drink beer, eat a hot dog, enjoy the sun and the hype from the crowd! If you can get 20 people together you get a group discount.

So this isn't cheap, but did know if you book a catered event at Heritage Park you can add on an old fashioned gun fight? You don't participate, but you watch this outdoor show go down!

Gun fight

Tubing at Winsport

Bowling at National

Tubing at Winsport

I did this with my friends last year and it was so fun! I think it was around $12-$15 for a ticket.  You take a giant treadmill (there's probably a name for it) up the hill and plunk yourself down on a lane and a staff member gives you a shove. It's exhilarating but not scary, this is probably fine for kids.

Winsport

Roughnecks Game

Bowling at National

Tubing at Winsport

Ah yes, lacrosse, the party sport! If you like non-stop hyped up music, lots of party people and shouting chants then this is the sport for you my friend. Highly recommend! Group discounts are available too.
