Calgary Tower

This landmark, which stands a whopping 626 feet tall, was once the city's tallest building. The Calgary Tower was built in 1967 to commemorate Canada's centennial, and it also housed the Olympic flame in 1988. Today, the tower serves as the city's focal point, providing visitors with breathtaking views of Calgary and the Rocky Mountains. Take the elevator to the observation deck and then to the Theatre Room. Check out the short film "Calgary Tower – Building and Icon" in the Theatre Room, as well as Travel Alberta's most recent fly-through video, which shows aerial footage of Alberta.

If you get hungry or thirsty, you can eat at the Sky 360 Restaurant and Lounge, which rotates high above the city every 45 minutes at lunch and every 60 minutes at dinner. At the base of the tower, there is also a Ruth's Chris Steak House. Though previous visitors said the tower provides good views of the city, some complained about the ticket price and said it's only worth it on a clear day. Still, if you're looking for a memorable view of the city or a quick activity, Calgary Tower, according to reviewers, is a no-brainer.
