We had a fantastic day out in Heritage Park which is on the outskirts and is a theme type park. There are rides for the kids, a full working turn of the century town, complete with ice cream parlour and bakery so you don't need to take food unless you want to cut down on the costs. There is a Paddle Steamer and a Steam Train and people who work there are all dressed in costume reminiscent of 'Little House on the Prairie' There is a Fort and Wigwams and farms etc. It did tick all the boxes and was a good whole day out with our kids .

It is also a large area and you don't need to keep hold of the kids hands all day, just so they don't fall in the water or step onto the train track. We had a glorious sunny day and the grounds are very well cared for. The Tourist brochures will give you money off vouchers and can be got from Touristy places. I know they are in the Calgary guide.
Hope this helps. Would be ideal for your kids age group. Mine enjoyed it and they were 10 and 12.
Kindest regards
Stef and Lins
