The Calgary Stampede Review

Parking's expensive, good place for a venue though.

Always great activities going on here and the famous Calgary Stampede in the summer!

March 19 2018 Staff were amazing. Took me right where I needed to be.

Very exciting. Great food and entertainment. Had a great day out with friends.

The stampede has something for everyone. Its alot of fun too.

County Fair on steroids, truly the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.

Great hustle and bustle during the Stampede. Lots to do and see. The Rodeo and Chuckwagon races make for a great evening.

Went a year ago and it was amazing. Good for adults and children. I ll return there for sure

Lots of great art! Lots of music, food, exhibits and shows!

A great experience if you can catch it while you're in Calgary. The food vendors try to out-do each other every year by offering crazy and seemingly mandatorily unhealthy food. Worth going if you don't mind deep fried food and don't mind spending a fortune at the same time.

The best summer entertainment in Alberta. Great music, food and carnival experience every year.

We attended the Calgary Outdoor Adventure Show (2018) as exhibitors. It was an awesome experience! The staff was very helpful, easy to go in and out to setup. I highly recommend Calgary Stampede as a place to exhibit your business through those expo shows. (We had a great time teaching people how to fly drones!).
We re hoping to be there next year. Hopefully we ll see you there too!

A yearly favourite! Stampede is what you make of it, and you can make a lot of fun if you're open to experiences.

I saw just a small part of it, but I loved it. Great job to the organizers.

The stampede is a good place to learn and cooperate in Calgarys traditions

What you can expect for large events. Decent food, no leg room (but I m tall), bathrooms are clean, staff are polite and helpful, areas are clean and well managed.

Amazing experience! The rodeo and every event is incredible. There are other events as well, like a dog show and dances from Bollywood and other parts of the world. Great food and many games, loved the slushies.

Massively over prices, unhealthy food. Watch the rodeo on TV thats all you need.

Stampede is a once a year only event that brings lots of fun to the Calgarians, there are different events every day and you ll eat tasty food and snacks as well. Be prepared to spend around $100 per adult here because you ll pay $20 average just for admission plus the food you consume and tickets for the rides. It is worth it the money and time you spend there anyway.

Very well setup and lots of fun but quite pricey to the point of being over priced.

Will never go . Fixed games ,busted rides ,over priced everything

Great place. Lots of fun the first time you go. Very crowded though!

I was there for Noel lights Festival, it was there first year i guess in Calgary. I absolutely loved it, do visit for amazing and colorful Indoor Lights

Expensive and full of drunk trashy cowboys/cowgirls. The grand stand show is worth watching though.

You can sure pass a few day walking around the stampede

Honestly, I stayed away for the stampede for the last decade. I hate how getting around the city is just painful. I hate how busy the city is. We finally just decided to embrace it instead of being so misanthropic and I am glad I did.

What can you really say about the greatest outdoor show on earth? There's something for everyone and it changes every year. During the actual stampede, my personal favourite is the deep fried Oreos.

Throughout the rest of the year, there are so many different shows and events to draw you in. I'm looking forward to seeing the new proposed 17ave extension into the grounds.

Parking for events can be challenging, so always give yourself plenty of extra time. Transit is a very logical alternative.

Great time. Rodeo, shows, carnival with rides, trade shows. Fun for everyone but you d better bring your wallet.

Greatest outdoor show on earth. Lots of free entertainment around town.

So many rides to go on, so many food choices to chose from. So much fun. I love that this time brings out people from all over to come visit. Also great place to bring your kids since there are rides for them and areas for them to play in. Great family fun. It's sad it only happens for 10 days a year. Highly recommended to go when it comes.

Parking is not cheap. Take the train and bring a warm coat and gloves if it's winter. Also very good shoes, it's super slippery in the parking lots in the winter. The events there are fun and family friendly.

Over priced. too many people pretending to be cowboys.

Too many people, more than I have ever seen there before, and could not find any of the new food places the shows filled up soo far before their start times, worst year for stampede

Too expensive for me. Probably not going there again.

Stampede is likely the best part of the summer. Overall it can be very expensive, but you can usually find deals and entrance to the park has many many activities to do.

Just over it. Nothing new. Nothing really that exciting. Only 2 stars instead if one because the Motocross show was good.

You get to see a whole lot of cows and donkeys, plus plenty of animals as well.

It always has the good events going on and very joyful place to visit but parking is very expensive comparing to other places.

Exhibition is good during off season. Price to park is 15. Not during Stampede..Then no parking at all and are prices 15+

Amazing experience , as always. They don't call it the greatest outdoor Show on earth for nothing. Don't forget your wallet at home tho ...

Great place to hang out if you are in to hardcore amusement park rides. The rodeo is great as there is a lot of action and a lot of fun

If you are a Rodeo fan, this one is the best. Food, entertainment, all top notch

Only went to the last day but completely loved every second of it! Fantastic atmosphere, friendly people and a very exciting rodeo. Highly recommend a visit if you're anywhere near Calgary. On;y regret is that I didn't have my cowboy boots with me!.

Stampede is the best. I love trying all the fun foods and enjoying the rodeo each year.

The Calgary Stampede is not what it used to be. It has always been and is now worse full of obnoxious drunk people stepping all over your feet, slurring, throwing up and pushy, excessive loud music outdoors. On top of this I had an issue with First Aid and Stampede administration. I have been here the past 20 years and this year is my last. I had a band aid on my toe before I arrived to the park on Friday. The wind picked up and my band aid was coming off. I just walked into the First Aid room and they refused to give me just a piece of tape to hold my existing band aid. They stated they wanted all my personal information before they could give this to me? I said really, for a piece of tape, not a new band aid but a simple piece of tape I have to give you my personal information? I said this is how identity theft occurs. I stated there is no need for this as I was not injured here, I just want some tape to hold for the night. I then left proceeded to contact administration, all closed till Monday. The host booths were useless too. I ended up leaving with only being there for 20 mins and paid high admission fee. I won't be back.
