Taking pictures, reading, exploring. Sadly we came on a rainy day so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor activities that they had to offer.

What a great day, we PREBOOKED our experience and skipped a very long line in the rain. It was a…read morevery popular choice for this May Long Saturday afternoon; meaning it was busy and crawling with families of all sizes and ages. The displays were nicely organized and beautiful but there were a few that may have been an issue for people with mobility problems to see. But most of the offending displays were obviously aimed to entertain children. The displays were also clearly marked and I spotted a few people who were wearing auditory tours. Parking in the main lot is a freaking zoo and I highly recommend skipping it and going straight to the auxiliary lot which is bigger and has a better layout unless you have mobility issues.

It has limited hours, but if you reach out to them I was advised they will accommodate groups. Great parking. No bathroom... or any other amenities for that matter, but are located in a lovely park like setting a minute drive (literally) from downtown Cochrane. It can be viewed quickly or take your time, ask questions & enjoy conversation. There are half a dozen rooms, featuring toys, firefighting, the hospital, general history & period lifestyle. They insist you sign the guest book & are warm & welcoming. Be sure to leave a donation.

Every first Thursday of the month is free admission sponsored by Servus. I had to take advantage of this offer. Regular price admission is $18 per person. Why pay when you can go in for free. Plus I am not a tourist so might as well visit on a Thursday. All exhibits/galleries are open on the free admission day. The museum is very specifically tailored to the First Nation history and history of Calgary. They do have an interesting section on geology: rocks, minerals, stones, geode and etc. That gallery was slightly out of place compared to the rest of the museum/items on display. The first floor is really the gift shop and museum ticket/concierge/info center. Second floor is the first nation artworks. There are paintings and a few pieces of artwork. Third floor is about the oil and gas industry. As well, as the first settlement and the history of Calgary. Fourth floor is more tailored to the British Army and a section on the history of Africa. Everything is well documented, comprehensive and well referenced in the museum. Expect to spend about 2 hours minimum here. Overall, I enjoyed my stay. I don't think this museum changes much and so it is really one time visit. Note that no big backpacks are allowed into the museum and would be required to be checked in.

We came with a school group and they did an amazing job with their educational presentations, it was fun and informative, and even my little guys were entertained with the performance. We also really enjoyed the fish feeding experience and seeing the sheer volume of fish that are hatched and raised here is eye opening. They take care of their facility and are careful with cleanliness here too and it really shines. Doing a scavenger hunt and learning to identify different kinds of fish in the lower fish tank areas. And these older fish really did seem like they were listening to us if we stopped and talked to them- that was probably the fishiest part of our visit! Fish talking lol And upstairs the displays are so well done! Lots to see and the video that was playing was really great too. Learned a ton here!

A quick note on pond fishing:…read more As of this writing... it's $5 to rent a rod including basic tackle (no personal bait allowed). Additionally you will need a WIN card ($8) and fishing license (1 day = $27). So total of roughly $35 that you buy online at https://www.albertarelm.com/licensing.page . The pond is a modest catch and release pond for kids. More of an educational experience just to cast and reel. So you won't exactly haul in bucketloads of trout. $20 weekend classes every Saturday for 2 hours. Requires reservation. Seasonality applies - you can check their website beforehand.

I took a ton of pictures and hope I captured the essence of this exceptional Museum. UPDATE: We went back after lunch to check out more. One can easily spend a full day here.

The displays are very well done, though occassionally a bit tight to the ceilings. The collection is diverse, and it endeavors to name individuals.

I also very much appreciated the knowledgeable docents.
