Canmore – Your Family’s Home Away from Home

Canmore is the perfect location for family vacations. With a huge variety of safe and accessible adventure options within and right outside Downtown, a variety of accommodation options for every budget, and family friendly restaurants, your trip is sure to be easy and fun. Canmore is a great choice for your family getaway!

Learn & Explore

Canmore Museum and Geoscience Center

Learn about Canmore’s rich mining history, or experience one of the many informative interactive exhibits which take place in the museum. Coming up this month is From Coal to Community, Lime in the Valley, and The Fossils Around Us.

artsPlace

With super fun events such as Potterypalooza, Campfire Sessions, and movie nights, artsPlace always has something going on, and most of these events are child-friendly. Learn a new skill, cozy up and watch a movie together, or let your inner artist soar!

Dining

The Grizzly Paw

With great menu options for the whole family, including local craft beer on tap and house-made sodas for the kids, The Grizzly Paw is a great lunch or dinner option within the Downtown core. Sit inside the historic house or outside on the patio, and take in the beautiful view of Ha Ling Peak and the Three Sisters.

Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co.

An award-winning family pizza restaurant conveniently located in Downtown Canmore which is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co. uses fresh and local produce and are willing to cater to any dietary need.

I Scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! What’s not to love about getting served delicious, locally sourced ice cream from a magical yellow school bus? You’ll love it, and your children will love it too. Our suggestion? Keep an eye on the line, or send dad over ahead of time. The Old School Bus Ice Cream can be quite the happening spot! If the line is too long for your liking, or you’re looking for a different flavour, you can easily head down the street to Scoopin’ Moose.

Adventure

Riverside Trails

Great for a quick bike ride or leisurely mid-afternoon stroll, the Bow Riverside trails are easy and definitely family friendly. The kids can catch butterflies, count the Canmore bunnies, and skip rocks on the river while mom and dad relax and take in the views from a comfortable riverside bench.

Bike and SUP rentals

If the family is looking for a little more adventure, local rental companies such as Rebound Cycle offer bike and SUP rentals. For those who are looking to bike, there is an extensive trail network surrounding the town, and the Canmore Nordic Center trails are definitely family friendly. If you’re looking to SUP, bask in the sun, and take in the views, Rundle Forebay, Bow River, or Quarry Lake are all within 5 minutes from Downtown and are great for stand up paddle boarding.

Tour Canmore is your host for adventure, right in the heart of Downtown Canmore. With loads of family-friendly adventure options, Tour Canmore will expertly pair your family’s expectations and abilities with the perfect excursion and help you build life-long memories.
