| - Chinook center, is the biggest mall Calgary has. It has undergone several renovations over the years. The addition of the new wing, is very clean and bright. It makes the rest of the mall seem like it needs updating. I like the new underground heated parkade. It makes shopping with the family a little easier. I even like to take my jacket off, and leave it in the car. Also the car has a chance to defrost on those minus 20-30 temps.
Located in the mall, is a fair sized food court with huge windows. If anyone remembers the old food court, It was a tiny little thing located by the professional building off the second floor.
located in the center, is also a movie theater, with a few arcade games and fast food restos.
located also in the center on the lower level is a bowling alley. If you like 5 pin bowling then you'll like this place. (I just hate wearing the shoes).
A little history, at the end where the movie theater is located was a Woodwards food floor, which later became a Safeway that was also accessible from the mall.
On the outside perimeter their are a few full service restaurants, like Globefish, Joeys, etc. On the outside (not accessible from the mall) is Chop. Its a stand alone, that share the parking lot with Chinook, located on the southside. All the restaurants are not accessible from within the mall, with the exception of Boston pizza. BP is located on the upper level, close to Sears down the west corridor.
If your shopping for a B-day present etc or simply for yourself, Chinook is almost certain to have what you need.
