Calgary Stampede: Kids Attractions
Stampede dates: July 4-13, 2008
If you're wondering how to entertain the kids at the Stampede, fear not! The Stampede provides plenty of free entertainment, so you don't have to spend all the time at the Midway.
Buckaroos, a Great Place for Kids
New this year, in the Big Four Building, Main Level - Daily from 11:00 am - Midnight.
A great place for you and your friends to hang?
50,000 square feet of interactive,
in your face things to do, see and try out.
Eukanuba Superdogs
Catch the Superdogs at the Stampede Corral daily (July 5 - 115) at 1 pm, 4 pm and 7 pm
(on Sneak a Peak they are only at 6 & 8 pm).
Bell Rodeo Xperience
South of the Roundup Centre, catch Norco's factory team showing the limits
of extreme mountainbiking, featuing extreme Trials and Flow Riding.
Midway
Outside, there are several rides for the kids along the midway. There are lots
of rides in the main Midway that are suitable for older children. For the younger
kids, there's a Kids Midway north of the Stampede Corral (towards Olympic Way & Downtown) with
rides appropriate for smaller children.
To reduce the cost of the Midway, there are Family Packs of ride tickets at
a (somewhat) discounted price. If you can plan ahead, your best bet is discounted
tickets from Safeway, usually available in June.
Wednesday of Stampede is Kids Day with free early (before 9 am) admission to the grounds.
Tuesday is Teen Day and the evening offers unlimited rides on the Midway (but be prepared for long lines).
