Budget-Friendly Outings to Do this Holiday Break in Calgary

Spruce Meadows keeps families in the holiday spirit with their dazzling Christmas light display, set up until January 8. The grounds are decked out with hundreds of thousands of twinkling lights, which you'll explore by driving the 2 km route in your vehicle (no need to worry about that stroller transfer). With complimentary ice skating on the pond and a roaring bonfire there's good incentive to get out of the car, though. Just don't forget the hot dogs, marshmallows and a thermos full of hot chocolate.
