Lots of interesting facts and information about our RCMP. Musical ride was a value added adventure. The fort was set up as an original North West Mounted Police headquarters. Well worth a visit.

This place is awesome. Such a great history lesson. Exhibits are very informative and lots of neat things to see. Staff are amazing here and very helpful and friendly. My lil one really liked climbing the towers, petting the goats and horses and really enjoyed the music that went with the musical ride. Would definitely take him there again.

This is a part of Alberta's and Canada's history that should not be missed if you are in the area. The museum has several displays about the history of the NWMP/RCMP that are informative and eye opening. There are also several displays that demonstrate how these men lived and worked in the rugged western frontier. If you go take the time to take in the musical ride. Though smaller in numbers they do a good job demonstrating the skills the mounted members needed to learn and demonstrate to be on the Musical Ride.

First we went thru the museum which is really neat, lots of history here that’s for sure. Next was the Musical Ride which was very interesting, definitely worth the extra fee to see that! Very friendly staff on site as well.

This is a great stop off but not as good as other forts. The horse show is ok for the small area it is staged in. Polite staff. Worth a visit.

A gem in Fort Macleod! I'm a history buff and I thought this placd was fantastic. Lots of reading if you don't have a guide but still really interesting. The gift shop had a decent selection of things to buy.
