This museum was pretty boring and small for the most part. The heartland stuff was amazing to see. I'm a huge heartland fan so that made me happy. The kids play area was super cool and great for learning my toddler had a blast and didn't want to leave. But other than those two things nothing else was exciting and we were maybe only in there for 10-15 minutes max.

We (5 Calgary seniors) drove out to the golf club for lunch today March 23rd, 2016. We ordered their Wednesday lunch special; soft tacos. I had it with spicy beaf and the others with chicken. We all enjoyed them. The serving size was ample and they were very tasty. The service was excellent. The golf course view adds to the ambiance. Once again, I recommend it highly.

Several of the downtown buildings have entire walls covered in very artisic murals depicting life in Alberta of days gone by. They are lovely to look at, some are fading now, but that just adds to the charm. Attention to detail is amazing! We really enjoyed seeing them during our stroll around High River. The pictures we took don't do them justice. Go see them in person to get the proper perspective and scale. Great artwork!
