Top 10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Canmore, Canadian Rockies

June 6, 2021 Kandra Bartel

Catapulted to fame for its part in the 1988 Winter Olympics, this former coal-mining town in the Canadian Rockies is a perfect base for visiting some of the country’s most impressive national parks. First stop for most visitors is the ski trails in Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park. Contemplate natural wonders at the Museum and Geoscience Centre, and mush through the snow on a sled-dog tour.

This is off the beaten path in the industrial section. There are lots of lovely items for sale and the prices are reasonable for blown glass. You can sit and watch glass being blown. They make it look so easy.

Sugar Pine Company

Reviewed By janeban

I wandered into Sugar Pine expecting to find some lovely fabrics. But I was amazed at the size of the store, and the extensive selection of fabrics, all beautifully arranged, with lots of precuts, too. Many gorgeous quilts are also displayed, with patterns or kits available for most. Any other Covid-quilting-newbies like me? You need to know about this place! It’s worth a trip to Canmore.

Wild Life Distillery

Wild Life Distillery is a craft distillery situated in Canmore, Alberta. Our spirits are produced, distilled and bottled on site from Albertan prairie grains. The distillery offers delicious craft cocktails, tastings, and bottle sales. Open daily, no appointments needed. Come and visit!

Reviewed By TwoTrout - Phoenix, United States

We didnt actually get a chance to visit the Distillery itself but had the chance to buy some of their liquid courage at a local liquor store, in Downtown Canmore. Its our hands down new favorite Gin. My Wife is more of the Gin drinker, but I love a good Gin martini every now and then. This stuff is putting big names to shame. I wont name other Gins because I believe Wildlife is killing the game. However, I will say they have some strong competition with Park Distillery in Banff... ;) We crushed a bottle of their Wildlife Gin while visiting last week and got a bottle of their Barrel Aged Gin to take home back to Arizona. We haven't opened that yet but are super excited to taste.

Canmore Recreation Centre

Reviewed By Mommasbest - Vernon, Canada

Stopped in on drive through to Calgary. Excellent pool facility, 10 lane 25m lap pool, kept slightly cool for good workouts; play pool was considerably warmer, with 2 lap lanes, river run, water slide. Large open area, lots of light. Showers/change rooms large and clean. Lots of open lane swim times each day. Also in same building are some awesome climbing walls, cardio/weight room, and the local library.
