Creative Kids Museum as the name alludes, is a space where children are given the freedom to learn through their own experiences. This museum houses various exhibits in which children can get involved and explore and learn. Water-babies will love the 'Water Play Area' where they can recreate a waterfall. The adventurous kids will love crawling through the climbing structure as they find their way out. Those with a scientific sense can immerse themselves in innovating and creating their own machines. Those with a flair for theatrics can work with their own production. Children who love some quiet time can relax with their favorite book at the 'Reading Nook'. This is one museum a child will never want to leave.
Calgary Soccer Centre, formally known as the Subway Soccer Centre, is one of the largest indoor soccer facilities in North America and the hub of indoor soccer in this city, with seven artificial turf pitches under two roofs. The pitches are set up similar in design to ice hockey rinks, with boards and player boxes. There are spectator stands on the mezzanine level and a coffee/snack counter that comes in particularly handy for parents of children with Saturday games.
Located inside the MacEwan Conference & Event Centre, the MacEwan Hall is a perfect venue to host meetings and events. It can accommodate up to 1000 people and it comprises a theater, a banquet space and even a classroom for conducting educational activities. The hall features an atmospheric lighting system, a public address system as well as a stage. MacEwan Hall, or "Mac Hall" also plays host to many major events, from big name comedians to popular bands and everything between.
A wonderful addition to Calgary's comedy scene was made with the introduction of The Comedy Cave. True to its name, this comic joint is a rather dark place, giving you the feel of being in a dungeon, an illusion dispelled only by the bright laughter the stand-up comics manage to evoke every few minutes. This is a great place to enjoy a dinner-and-show package, but unfortunately the whole family cannot enjoy together, as children are not permitted.
The MacEwan Ballroom is a beautiful auditorium-cum-hall at the MacEwan Event & Conference Centre in the University of Calgary. A prime venue for concerts, plays, bands, lectures and more; the MacEwan Ballroom throbs with cultural activity throughout the year. Along with the MacEwan Hall, also housed in the same student center, the MacEwan Ballroom is a seat of students' events in Calgary. Call ahead for more information.
