YouthLink Calgary Police Interpretive Centre - Calgary, Alberta

Definitely would recommend it if you got kids/teens but likewise good for adults too. Being an interpretive museum you get to learn the history and also give it a try at how things work. I also liked that they have additional activity clipboards and markers for kids to make it more interesting for them.

My teens who were not really keen on visiting a museum, were having fun trying or solving the activities.

We were visiting from UK and popped over straight from the airport. We only had cabin bags which we were allowed to store while we explored the museum but am not sure if that applies for the bigger luggage.

It is totally free or you can leave a donation so good if you are looking for a free or cheap thing to do with kids.

Great place! I went with my son 11 and he loved it. We scheduled for 3pm and they closed at 4pm and I regret not scheduling earlier because one hour is not enough!
We’re planning on going back because we still had some things left to explore. 💙❤️💙❤️

Absolutely blown away by our visit to YouthLink Calgary! This interactive museum is an incredible space to explore the world of policing, forensics, technology and the brave lives of officers and their K9 partners. We spent nearly three hours taking in every detail—it’s that immersive!

The real-life stories of officers and their fight against crime were powerful and inspiring. Huge thanks to the two wonderful seniors who were there to guide and assist us—they made the experience even more meaningful.

Easily one of the most informative and engaging places we’ve visited. Highly recommended!

Отличный интерактивный музей полиции. Более 50 практических полицейских экспонатов, правдивые криминальные истории и интерактивная судебно-медицинская лаборатория. Этот современный полицейский музей наполнен захватывающими экспонатами и интерактивными дисплеями, позволяющими посетителям исследовать жизнь за значком.

My kid and I had a good time visiting. I'd say kids from 6 and up would enjoy the center the most. It's a blend of interactive activities and going through the exhibits. It did a good job teaching kids and visitors of different aspects of police work (K9, firearms, uniforms, etc.). We will likely visit again.

If you are not sure where to take the kids on a rainy day, this is a good alternative for a fun, education, and inspirational trip. Just beware that it closes on Sundays.

Very cool place. When we arrived I was asked if I wanted a quick introduction, I was shown where the washrooms were and general layout. We were given two different scavenger hunts to participate in. These kept my 8yo engaged and curious. Displays were ready to follow and engaging both visually and physically. You can flip through pages, press buttons, choose video clips and get things on.

I absolutely loved this place! It really showed all the work police officers do to keep out cities safe. There were so many interactive features and interesting stories/statistics! Definitely recommend families go to this museum!
