Question

I've heard that calgary is a boring place,is it right?

Answer 1

Generaly yes.  Most bands skip it on tours and if they do book there is a good chance they will cancel.  outside stampede the bars are not even that great.

Answer 2

It depends on your definition of boring.  

There's 1,000,000 people who live here so it can't be that bad.   LOL

We have a lot of things to do whether you live here or visit.   Using Calgary as a base there are enough things to do around here to keep most people busy for a long, long time.

We have the Rockies right next door, lots of skiing, hiking, backpacking, white water rafting, ranches, etc.  

I grew  up here and I've never been bored.  Now my kids are growing up here and they love it too.

Answer 3

Wrong.  Lots to do in the city, and near the city.

Answer 4

Calgary IS a boring city compared to other cities.

Even the posters below tell you this:

Notice how they immediately refer to attractions that are hours away out of town, apart from a zoo. Who wants to go to a zoo, unless you have small kids?

Answer 5

I don't think that any city is boring, including Calgary.  I have lived for months at a time in isolated "fly in" communities, so I cannot imagine any city being boring.  If I am  bored I always think that is more a reflection of me, and so I go find something to do - which is never difficult.  There is always something to do, and in Calgary it is no different.  So, no, Calgary is not boring.

Answer 6

Where are you from?  Calgary is okay... but if you are used to somewhere more exciting than I woud suggest somewhere else.  If you are going there are a tourist, I would probably not suggest it, but if you have something else in mind, staying a couple days... or a few would be enjoyable.  The zoo is really good if you like that.  And there is some good shopping.  If you want somewhere for a holiday, I would suggest British Columbia in the summertime.  The beaches are beautiful, and the rockies are amazing!  Penticton is really nice in the summertime.  If you want to go in the winter, there are many ski resorts that are really good!  Like Panorama.  If you are going on a holiday and like big cities, I would suggest Quebec City or Montreal.  They have alot to do, and it is really cool how they speak French there!  They both have really old buildings which are cool to see.  I hope this helps!
