- Jim BGrapeview, WA1,272 contributionsThis is one of those surprises you sometimes find in a small town. It is housed in the old CPRR depot, built in 1912. It has history of the area, as well as a section on the many movies that have been filmed here, which we didn’t know about.After visiting the museum, walk around town. It is a very nice historic town.Written October 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jim BGrapeview, WA1,272 contributionsIf you are a fan of Heartland and are on your way through the area, it is worth a stop. It isn't actually open as a diner, but fun to see the place from many memorable scenes of Heartland.Written October 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ben BCalgary, Canada14,324 contributionsHigh River is a great little town, and all the murals really add to the already beautiful scenery. There are quite a few. There's a brochure at the Visitor Centre to help you find them, but you really can't miss them, there are so many.Written July 4, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dawn WBlackie, AB 6 contributionsWe are very thankful to the High River Parent Link Center for offering the water park for free again this year! Our dayhome spends countless hours enjoying this fantastic place! Love that it's fenced and large enough that on busy days there are still lots of places to play. There are very few opportunities for free family activities. This is the perfect place to go!Written July 25, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Maya B6 contributionsWe went for a walk around this quiet little park with some interesting historical buildings. You can't enter the buildings, but it's a nice place for photos.Written August 16, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- G PCalgary, Canada107 contributionsThis is a casual visit and great for anyone who enjoys old Fords, old tractors and garage memorably of days gone by. Be sure to walk slowly as there is alot to see. Don't forget to look upwards as there were more treasures to take in. We were also excited to see the beautiful Texaco garage next door. This was an added bonus.Written May 7, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
