Make Calaway Park your family Playcation Destination this summer! As Western Canada’s Largest Outdoor Family Amusement Park, this popular Calgary summer attraction has been providing joy, excitement and family memories in Alberta for over four decades. I have many of my own fond memories from visiting as a child, and now that I am grown I love taking my own kids for a day of amusement park fun together!

While the 32 different rides are the biggest attraction at Calaway Park, they are by no means the only thing to look forward to. My daughter is not a fan of the big thrill rides as she has gotten older and taller, so it is nice we can mix the day up with carnival games, live shows, the Cinemagic 3D theatre and a walk through the Haunted Hotel. There is truly something for everyone!

Calaway Park 2022

Our ideal Calaway Park Day usually involves sunshine and a bit of heat. On hot days nothing feels better then being splashed by cool water as you plummet down Timber Falls, or getting sprayed by the Bumper Boats! For younger kids, Calaway Park also offers the CP Spray n’ Play splash park area to splash around in and cool off when you are needing a break from the rides.

An ice cream cone or frozen treat is another of our favourite ways to cool down on a sunny day and lucky for us there are lots of great options between the 20 different food locations in the park. Everyone’s tastes will be satisfied with the choice of soft serve ice cream, hard ice cream, Mini Melts, sno cones, slush and an all-new Dole Whip! Plus enjoy all your other favourite fair foods like pizza, burgers, corn dogs, churros, mini donuts, popcorn, cotton candy, Beaver Tails and more.

New Experiences for 2023

Calaway’s newest ride, Riptide Racer, will make its debut in the Summer of 2023 and offer up another option to get wet and cool down. On this family fun ride, guests are invited to navigate their own rescue boat with the ability to make extra waves in the circular pool depending on how they steer the boat! Follow the Rides Page for opening updates and to discover more about all the other fun ride options in the park.

On stage, Calaway Live will debut two all-new stage shows on June 24, 2023. Mad Tea Party is a high energy show featuring music, dancing, and plenty of unexpected laughs. Summer Blast will bring 20 minutes of summer tunes and good times for the whole family. Catch both shows on the Celebration Square Stage, along with a full schedule of circus acts, magic shows, dancers and other captivating performers throughout the Summer.

Finally, this year’s featured film in the Cinemagic 3D Theatre will take you along on the adventures of a martial-arts-trained skunk and her friends in Meg and the Lost Septre. This epic tale promises chases, quicksands, and menacing piggies armies, all in the comfort of the air-conditioned theatre!

A trip to Calaway Park is definitely doable as a daytrip from Edmonton, but our family prefers to make a full weekend of it when we are travelling all those miles. A stay at a partner hotel or the Calaway RV Park and Campground are both great options for planning an overnight visit to Calgary. We love that the Calaway RV Park and Campground offers 104 sites and a view of the mountains, and is just a short walk from the park gates. They even have care for your furry family members covered with an on-site Kennel to check into while you enjoy your day in the park!
