Fort Whoop-Up

A very informative and interesting historical recreation of the original Fort Whoop Up.

Just like Fort Edmonton park if you have been in Edmonton. People were there. There is a gift shop, a museum, lots of small areas to see, find, do things, old artillery, kitchen utensils. Tipi in the centre, they were serving hot choclate, bannock and a firepit was there.

What a great experience and look back at history. Our wagon ride with 2 Clydesdale horses was the highlight with Cathy our tour guide. Great to go with kids, activities like writing with a quill pen, candle dipping and fresh made Bannock. A big park surrounds the fort so you could easily pack a lunch, there is also a playground nearby.

Wonderful way to spend an afternoon or evening with family in Lethbridge. We went on a Thursday and there was a trader tales program going on. It’s educational and informative and interactive experience for children.

There was a campfire and sharing of stories over bannock and jam.

Also the ice cream is delicious. They give liberal amounts of it! 🍦
