Re: Calgary Meet Up !!!!
 
Has anyone ever been to Chuck E Cheese in NE Calgary near Sunridge Mall at all - I recall it has been mentioned on here before as a good place for kids, although I don't quite know what the adult offer is like there and how the set up works (it bills itself as some sort of kids entertainment centre)

We are flexible on location as we are without kids, although a weekend or evening (esp. Fridays) would be preferable for us.

It's a suitable place for kids' birthday parties and the like. The food is ....... how do you Britons put it? ....... dire.

Judy, I know that you are the undisputed 'font of knowledge' for all things Calgary, but if a bar or pub has a restaurant licence, then it can admit kids.


HAve you moved to Clagary semi- permanently or is it just for a few months. I had thought you were moving to Edmonton?

Hi guys

Just to say we may be able to meet up!!!! Depending on the date- but don't fix anything around us as we may not be there.

Something central might be best for everyone, then we wouldn't be favouring any quadrant, especially as people are from all over the city.

It could always be a saturday lunch time, if it suits people more.
Just a suggestion......:blink:

So, can anyone suggest some good central places for a meet up that caters for people with and without kids???

I vote for Buchanan's or Spaghetti Factory, both of which Jingsamichty suggested and both of which are central.

The Brewster's on 11th Avenue SW is centrally located, but it won't do for our group. My husband, son and I had lunch there today. Unlike its counterparts in the suburbs, it does not admit minors.

Yes, just in Calgary 'for a few months' then still planning to head to Edmonton. Things are very fluid at the moment, so I could probably end up being based at either. I'd be happy enough with either, they're both nice places - just thankful that nobody is suggesting Fort MacMurray any more!!

Hi all,

I expect everyone will be busy nearer to christmas... well I sure will as baby is due 16th Dec.

Would anyone object to a saturday afternoon near to end of November??? Central would be good for us, would be lost north of city and dont want to be too far away from Rockyview hosp...( just in case ).

Was thinking Nov 24th or Dec 1st??? Any thoughts....over to you all
