★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful, fun, interesting place. Great for all ages. Note that they do not sell bottled water and only water available is where you check in. If you have a parks pass the admission is free. Definitely will return.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was so much more than we had expected. We thought we would walk around and look at old buildings. The people were so friendly and informative. We very much enjoyed it. And the price was very reasonable. We probably stayed there 2-3 hours. Because of time we did not eat at the cafe or visit the gift shop

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Bar U Ranch National Historic Site, located near Longview, Alberta, is a preserved ranch that for 70 years was one of the leading ranching operations in Canada. At its peak, the ranch extended over 160,000 acres (65,000 ha) with 30,000 cattle and 1000 Percheron horses. Two owners were instrumental in the establishment of the Calgary Stampede, forming part of the Big Four. The Big Four were the wealthy Alberta cattlemen Patrick Burns, George Lane, A. E. Cross and Archibald J. McLean.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I didnt think I'd have much of an interest in going to visit an historical ranch, but I was def wrong. The staff were incredibly nice and knowledgeable; they even gave me tons of tips on what to do in Waterton. It was amazing learning about an important part of Alberta history that i never even thought about. Go, give yourself at least 2 hours and hope it was as fascinating to others as if was for me.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Living in Calgary all my life, I had never stopped here …. until today. We finished camping further south and pulled in to this National Historical Site. It’s still a working ranch. But, quite small compared to the original size and scope of the ranch. Great staff who are so knowledgeable and friendly. Amazing displays in original buildings. We went for a wagon ride and learned so much history about Southern Alberta that is never taught in school! Even my 12 yr old enjoyed his time at the Bar U Ranch.
