| - I hadn't been to Heritage Park in about 15 years, and yesterday I decided it was time I take a trip down memory lane.
Heritage Park is celebrating Christmas early right now with it's 'Once Upon A Christmas' event. It's a month-long celebration to get everyone into the spirit of Christmas.
Here is a summary of what I absolutely LOVED about Heritage Park:
- Brand Spankin' new, Heritage Park now has a FREE zone for all to enjoy. They have created a skating rink out front and anyone and everyone is welcome to come and skate around the rink while Christmas music plays.
- Also brand spankin' new, Gasoline Alley Museum is now open for all to see. It's got loads of cool vintage cars and gas pumps and it's awesome.
- The Mercantile plaza has got a slew of stores in which you can purchase Christmas ornaments, old-school collectibles, children's toys, clothing, jewellery, books, Christmas gifts and fudge!!!
- There are a slew of houses and shops on the grounds that you can visit and at different hours, there will be performances. IE: We went into the Church and there was Christmas caroling!
- Also brand spankin' new is Candy Cane Corral in which you can actually see real, live reindeer! Check out the pictures I uploaded to the Heritage Park profile.
- The Alberta Bakery in Heritage Park makes the most delicious bread EVER! We bought sausage rolls and cheese buns. YUM.
- The entire downtown strip at Heritage Park is fascinating. You go from one store to the next and check out how things used to be. There's even a candy store, an interactive train display, a kids only store and a dairy barn!
As you can see, there is a TONNE of things to see and do at Heritage Park. I've only listed a mere few things and it's a great way to spend a few hours with the family. What's even more amazing about Heritage Park is that ALL of the above and then some can be experienced by purchasing a ticket that costs ONLY around $10. $10?!?!?!? That's less than it costs to see a movie!!! It's one of the cheapest ways, yet one of more fascinating ways to spend a few hours with the ones you love.
