This ultimate adventure company specializes in tandem skydiving, clients are firmly attached to staff members. The Tandem Master takes care of pulling the ripcord to allow clients to focus on screaming, praying, and otherwise "enjoying" the plummet. If simply hurtling to the ground at 200 km/hour isn't exciting enough, your master can add a few high-speed turns to further test your mettle. The Ranch also has jumping cameramen to provide video evidence for those back home. Group rates are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

It features more than 1,100 animals from around the world and an ever-growing portfolio of innovative exhibitions, which allows guests to get up close and personal with grizzly bears, moose and wolves. Life-sized dinosaur models lurk in the badlands of the Prehistoric Park, and the more genteel setting of the botanical park includes a butterfly garden.

 Slide the thunder |
2623 56th Street Northeast Calgary, AB T1Y 6E7 Canada +1 403 280 9714 |
A recreational zone, this city-owned pool also offers twin ice arenas servicing mainly local hockey teams, as well as a large gymnasium and a fitness studio. But the real draw is the five-acre indoor waterpark and its feature waterslide, the Pepsi Thunder—a six-storey high climb with a twisting descent. There are four other slides, as well as two hot tubs, a dive tank and a wave pool churning out meter-high play waves. There are kiddie pool areas for toddlers also. Review © 2007, Wcities |
