Downtown – 130 – 9 Avenue S.E.
This was the first time that I’ve taken Gordie to the Glenbow when he wasn’t just a baby and we weren’t able to visit nearly all of it in one trip.

That gave us enough time to go through 2 exhibits at a toddler pace and do a quick craft at the children’s Discovery Room.
