I went to the movie on the spruce.. I would talk about the organization.. although there were so many of them - of course thank you to all of them - but their tackling was to me not that much efficient..
They were all on a straight line, so you would have to wait for the people in front of you for longer time.
I would suggest to be in two lines, especially that there were some people with pre- purchased tickets.
You can see the pictures to notice what I am saying.

I attended a Calvary FC soccer game and I was blown away by the experience. A 6000 person covered stand, lots of concession stores, easy parking (but an outrageous $10 on top of the ticket price for the game, disgraceful really), and a great atmosphere. Soccer has come to Calgary and it's a fantastic venue really.

Truly a world class facility with tons to offer horse lovers from all around the world. Horse racing, sales of championship stock, training for athletes, and horses alike, just to scratch the surface. Also each Christmas they offer almost 75KM of the most amazing Christmas lights atop massive Christmas trees in a scene sure to bring out the Christmas spirit in just about everyone! Truly an epic and beautiful sight that each of us should behold at least once in our lives! :)

You can take your family including little children to Spruce Meadows during the summer and just enjoy their grounds. You can sit outside enjoy the sun, see the horses, the kids can take a little train ride around and get some snacks from their vendors on site. It's beautiful there. Lovely and Lush and very calm. A lovely place to enjoy the afternoon with no admission charge

Enjoyable Christmas visit to see the lights.

Enjoyable Christmas visit to see the lights.
Display free. You can drive through or park an walk.
The spruces are in situ...the decoration must have taken a long time and is most impressive.
Indeed, the day after my visit the news showed the aerial view...just as impressive as being there.
Hot chocolate, coffee, wine, beer and some hearty meals available.
Definitely recommended.

Beautiful xmas lights on so many trees; however, we went on a Saturday evening and got in the line-up going West on Stoney into Spruce Meadows at 7pm and were in line for 3 hours! Not worth that wait.

Spruce Meadows is an amazing venue. Beautifully maintained and so much to see and do - we were there to attend the Masters showjumping event and saw the Nation's Cup. Wonderful venue for anything equestrian but just in general a beautiful place for a picnic or a walk/jog and it is dog friendly as well.

Just go. If horses run through your blood like they do mine, you will never give anything below a 5 star rating. I grew up watching spruce Meadows show jumping and it was incredible to be able to say I got to go.

About Spruce Meadows

Spruce Meadows: A World-Class Sport and Entertainment Facility

Spruce Meadows is a premier sport and entertainment facility located just outside of Calgary, Alberta. Established in 1975 by the Southern family, Spruce Meadows has become one of the most iconic venues for equestrian sports in North America. With over 500 acres of land, Spruce Meadows offers top-notch facilities for various events such as horse shows, concerts, weddings, corporate events and more.

The Southern family's vision was to create a world-class facility that would attract top riders from around the globe while also providing an exceptional experience for spectators. Over the years, Spruce Meadows has hosted some of the most prestigious equestrian competitions in the world including The Masters CSIO5*, which is part of the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping.

Spruce Meadows' state-of-the-art facilities include six outdoor rings with all-weather footing and two indoor arenas that can accommodate up to 6,000 spectators. The venue also features stabling for over 1,000 horses with modern amenities such as heated barns and wash stalls.

In addition to hosting equestrian events throughout the year, Spruce Meadows also offers a variety of other activities such as guided tours where visitors can learn about its history and see behind-the-scenes areas not normally accessible to the public. There are also several dining options on-site including a restaurant overlooking one of their main competition rings.

One unique aspect about Spruce Meadows is its commitment to sustainability. The venue has implemented several eco-friendly initiatives such as using solar panels to generate electricity and recycling waste materials generated during events.

Apart from being an excellent venue for sporting events or corporate functions; it's also an ideal location for weddings or other special occasions due to its picturesque setting surrounded by rolling hillsides with views towards downtown Calgary skyline.

Overall, Spruce Meadow's reputation speaks volumes about its excellence in providing top-notch facilities that cater both riders' needs while offering an unforgettable experience for visitors alike. It's no wonder why it continues attracting thousands upon thousands every year who come from all corners around North America just to witness this magnificent place firsthand!
