Did you know that just 50 feet away from the shore of Calgary’s Bow River live thousands of fish – 20 species to be exact – in a habitat of their own?

Tucked in the historic community of Inglewood, the Bow Habitat Station offers hands-on learning that encourages visitors to get curious and study the aquatic ecosystem in our city’s rivers.

Their hatchery and discovery center offer a unique opportunity to learn from guide-led interactive learning and lively fish feedings.
