6/5. The staff there is just amazing. From information staff to the ones outside and then ones at the food counter. Amazing customer service and it's a beautiful place full of history and the people working there make it much more fun and a great experience.

I love this historic ranch. It's set in the beautiful foothills of the Canadian rockies. This well preserved ranch details the history of ranching in Western Canada. They breed heavy horses here and were responsible for saving the percheron horse breed, the European counterparts for which were almost all eliminated in WWI. The interpretive staff are friendly and informative.

We had a great time exploring the ranch! Everyone was so knowledgeable & friendly. My little guy is severely anxious & everyone was so accommodating to his needs.

Worth the drive from calgary. The presentations are great ; the interior of the buildings are meticulously well ‘staged’ and add life to an already authentic decor. Just enough to read on the boards; lots of photos and illustrations. English only though. Nice for kids. We had 1 staff person only but she graciously did 2 presentations : the campsite and the lasso throwing. We also did the horse carriage tour (15min around the ranch). The outdoor parts of site get very hot in summer: bring hat and sunscreen. Buildings are shaded and cool.

A wonderful overview of what it was to be cattle ranching in the late 1800s and 1900s. A tough and hardy group of men and womenfolk were needed for ranch life. Listen to stories of those days and take a wagon ride pulled by a beautiful pair of work horses. And while you’re at it stop by the concession for a delightful meal and ice cream.

Our group "The Wildies" joined in for the Ranch Rodeo Day Aug 21st. Such an honor to mix and mingle with the folks at this wonderful historical Ranch!

Loved the experience! Staff were super friendly and had some great conversations about the history and surrounding areas. Free entry with a National Park pass, wagon ride and super cute replicas of the homes, teepees and Alberta times. Spacious parking, water fountain for refilling your water bottle and clean washrooms, gift shop and more. Prepare to walk around the park, learn and take photos.

Absolutely love this place. Wonderful atmosphere and interesting history, located in a perfect scenic valley in the foothills. The staff is always welcoming and one of the best parts is sitting around the campfire next to the old chuck wagon chatting. Always make an effort to visit once a year. During my last visit I brought along my 1917 Kodak and snapped a few shots of the ranch.
