The Calgary Police Discovery Centre (formerly YouthLink) is part museum and part learning centre, letting kids indulge their fascination with police and the law. They offer free admission (but please consider donating!) and free parking. Plus, they often have special seasonal events, and we’ll post what’s coming up below.
Calgary Police Discovery Day | September 18, 2026
You don’t have to be looking for a career in policing for the Calgary Police Discovery Day! Everyone is welcome, with FREE admission from 10 AM – 4 PM, to meet officers, explore equipment, and discover the careers keeping Calgary safe. Families will enjoy interactive demonstrations and hands-on experiences. You can RSVP for your free spot here.

Start your Halloween celebrations early at the Calgary Police Discovery Centre! Come in a costume and get ready for trick-or-treating with activities, safety tips, and treats. It’s a fun, easy, daytime Halloween activity for all ages. You can RSVP for your free spot here.
Holiday Hounds | December 5, 2026
