Practically in the centre of the city, the tower is the very symbol of Calgary, if not Alberta.
Sometimes Calgarians seem to take the tower for granted. But Calgary’s space needle boasts a panoramic bird’s eye view of the city and — on a clear day — a spectacular view of the Rocky Mountains.
A guided tour is a great way to get a new perspective on the city. In the space of half an hour, you'll get much greater appreciation and understanding of Calgary's culture and history. And you can figure out where you're going next.
Make sure you stop at the Tourism Calgary information centre at the base of the tower.

Calgary Arts Development
Headquartered a stone's throw from the Calgary Tower, this group acts as a central hub for the arts in the city. It is a happening place, especially for those people who say Calgary has no culture.
On the first Thursday of each month, they organize First Thursday — featuring free arts and music events around downtown Calgary.
