Awesome facility for Horse Jumping. Top notch and World renown. Also a fantastic drive through Christmas light show! Thank you ATCO and the Southern Family.

Had an awesome experience with Spruce Meadows. The facility is very clean and posh. They take really good care of the facility, the horses, and the staff. Spruce Meadows is located just outside Calgary’s city limits... really close to nearby Calgarian communities. I recommend coming here early (as the crowds file in around noon). Lots of things to do around early July. They have a skate show, horse shows, vendors, patios, kids activities, and many more things. There are also lots of shops to purchase souvenirs, accessories, and clothing. In my opinion this is a “must-see” for tourists visiting the Calgary area. I look forward to coming back next summer!
I usually go here to watch the Equestrian show jumping competitions. They are mostly free to go and sit and watch. Usually my family and I pack a hearty lunch, snacks and drinks and make a day of it. The kids really enjoy watching the horses. Afterwards you can always take a stroll through the stables and look at the horses. If you are lucky you can meet some of the riders and owners and have a chat with them. I visited earlier this year (Jan 2nd & 3rd 2021) for the last days of the Spruce Meadows Christmas Lights Drive through. It was a beautiful, magical experience. I can't wait till the coronavirus is under control so that we can get the true Christmas experience with ice skating, Christmas Market and more. I would also love to get back to taking the kids to watch the horses again. There is also a cool little train that the kids can take a ride around the grounds on and a carousel that you can get tickets for them to ride. All in all, a great place for family fun.
Spruce Meadows is one of the top equestrian centres in the world. Top class service thanks to army of volunteers who appear to enjoy their work. Looks after seniors well with free admission and golf carts from.numerous car parks. Lot of shopping options. Would like some cheaper food options as presently a 7.50 sandwich is the cheapest . they excel at the presentations during major events. Great military displays. Lovely statues around the grounds. The flowers in the rings are always excellent. The ring crews work well to get events off on time in any weather.
Love coming here for our annual christmas light visit! Beautiful set up for all ages. A little bit of walking and it can get icy (our kiddo slipped a couple times) so be prepared for that. They have a little food area with hot chocolate and such and a little fire pit by the big tree. Really a great little night out.
Re MARKT - outrageous shipping fees Just an FYI my daughter spent hours purchasing some of her favourite Christmas items and was shocked at the checkout when the shipping cost was 160.00. I later gave it a try and they wanted 27.00 shipping on a 26.50 order. Save yourself some time and don’t bother with this.
Spruce meadows has beautiful grounds. Well maintained lawns and flowers. We had our wedding at the staircase. Which is a beautiful spot. Erica our Spruce Meadows Coordinator made sure everything was just how we wanted it.
Beautiful holiday lighting in Calgary. It was drive-through about a 10-15 minutes visit with family.
