Visitng Calgary. Where to go?
 

I'm in Calgary on business for a week. Just wondering which stores would be worth looking at. If you have any suggestions, please give me an idea of where it is in the city. Just remember, I'm a BC boy and i'm feeling anti-clausterphobic in this vast expanse.

There are 4 that I would recommend.

Golds on 17th Ave SE (Forest Lawn)
Wais Aquarium on 16th Ave (west of Edmonton Tr.)
Big Als Aquarium (Heritage Dr & McLeod Tr S)
Oceans Aquarium ( Centre St at about 25th Ave NE)

There is also Riverfront Aquariums on Riverfront Ave.

A lot of people frown on Riverfront Aquariums but I've had really good luck with their livestock despite the appearance of the store.

yeah riverfront is not very welcoming.. but i dont think they're that bad.. only been there a few times though.

I dont like riverfront that much. Plus there prices are pretty steep even compared to other stores. My order of stores to visit would be Golds, Big Als, Wais, Riverfront.

hah i would probably prefer riverfront over wais if it were closer

They're only 18 blocks apart... How much closer does it have to be? :mrgreen:
