Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site

Such a beautiful and educational spot! We especially enjoyed watching the blacksmith work. Our boys were engaged and equally as delighted when they received their very own freshly forged nail from the blacksmith.

We also took in a live beading demonstration by a Parks Canada staff member. So interesting!

Our boys received an activity booklet to fill out from the friendly staff at the visitor centre. Once we finished meandering around the site, they brought their completed booklets back to the visitor center and were gifted a souvenir and completion certificate. We had two very happy little kids!

Loved his park! Very family friendly and easy on the wallet. Cannot believe I’ve lived in central Alberta my entire life and had never heard of this place! The reception was happy, helpful and smiling. Will absolutely be back.

Wonderful experience! Beautiful environment and facility that blends with the outdoors. Excellent, informative exhibits and interactive demonstrations highly recommended. Staff are so informative and friendly.

Visitor center explains it all, so info on outdoor plaques gets kind of repetitious. Listening stations are well done. Interpretive experiences were all very good & staff was very informative. Kudos on those!

Large area. Nice walking path around sights. Inside area lots of artifacts...bought meat / steak hook. Great price fun gift. Made by blacksmiths there. Works great. Buy one.
Puppet show needs sprucing up a bit...puppets costumes looking worn.
Animal pellets very interesting as was the buffalo hunt story.
River views nice
