Bar U Ranch – Established in 1882, the Bar U Ranch was famous for breeding cattle and Percheron horses. Today it's still run as a ranch, a "living museum," where you can take an interpretive tour and then your cowpokes can have a real old fashioned "ranch hands" meal (how about a buffalo burger?) At the Visitor Centre, buy "period" things, such as preserves, woodwork, handmade soap and candles. |

Heritage Park – Heritage Park is a living history museum, where kids can experience life on the Canadian prairies. Ride on a steam train, hop on a horse-drawn wagon, cruise around the lake on a paddlewheeler, play old-fashioned carnival games, sample old-fashioned candies and fresh baked cinnamon buns. There’s 90+ historic buildings – a trading fort, tipis, miner’s cabin, school, bank, general store, ranch house, and more. Heritage Park is open from May to September, and on weekends until mid-October. |
