Banff is a really nice drive especially if you are used to Manitoba flatlands. Extra points for visiting Moraine Lake, featured on our twenty dollar bill.
Take a drive on 22x on the south side of the city. It will take you past spruce meadows, and to Priddis and Bragg creek.
On the way to Calgary a small detour up to Drumheller and the Royal Tyrell museum is worth it especially if you have any interest in palaeontology.
I haven't been there since I was a kid. It would be fun to revisit!
i can 2nd that, did that a year ago with the kids on the way up to The Banff area for a ski trip. Kids loved it!
Tyrell is a world class attraction!
I saw it in the 90s and it is totally different, infinitely better.

That's the problem most of their dinosaurs are quite old ...
Given the nature of this website, I assumed the OP’s original question was a euphemism for the street scene in Calgary.
But good to know we’ve branched off into the Tripadvisor realm!

Taking a cruise down Memorial Drive gives you great views of downtown across the Bow River.
Also, hwy 40 also know as the Peter Lougheed highway is a great drive. It’s the highest paved road in Canada. Only open spring-fall. Watch out for wildlife.

I’m surprised the mod didn’t close this thread as it kinda got hijacked …. In a good way haha
I actually wasn’t sure what kind of information the OP wanted so I just let it run lol.
That's the problem with being too subtle when asking for some naughty information 🤣
I was there in the mid 90s on a high school trip. Part of the workshop was in the lab, matching and gluing bone fragments back together like puzzle pieces. It was pretty awesome.
