| - If you like history brought to life, Heritage Park is well worth a visit despite its steep admission fee (CAD 26/adult).
It is spread out into various areas so you can see how early settlers lived in log huts, teepees, etc... There is a also a "town" with wooden streets and a variety of shops, bank, post office, printers, pharmacy, etc...
The people who work at Heritage Park are all dressed according to the time period and are extraordinarily friendly. Most try to strike up a conversation and tell you about the dwelling they are in.
The only disappointing thing was the mediocre food offerings which, other than at the Hotel Wainright, is processed food like you would buy at a gas station (chips, hot dog, packaged ice cream bars, etc....).
It was a very enjoyable way to spend an afternoon outside.
