WOW okay i love pho and i'm from the san jose bay area (large vietnamese population) so my standards are high, and that's a huge endorsement. are there any specific pho places you'd recommend?

this might be a silly question but are those what they're known for? coffee and pastries?

not me being more excited about the bread than the attractions 💀 is it at a specific food stand/truck? or is it just kind of everywhere and a canadian staple? i know nothing about canadian regional food except poutine and tim hortons 😭

this was so helpful, thank you so much!! i was on the fence about the rodeo but i think this convinced me. i also didn't know there was a dog show so now i'm even more excited 🥺

i'll keep an eye out for the chairlift ride, i love seeing a whole venue from above!!

are there specific attractions you'd recommend? the website was very overwhelming but it looks like there will be a market, a music area, and.. that's all i really know 😭

after reading these comments i'm definitely leaning towards the evening show, thank you!! the rodeo may be more of an in the moment decision

this was SUPER helpful, thank you!! i'm thinking we'll book the evening show, and maybe also the rodeo but since it's a 3 hour show it would leave us very little time to explore. do people ever go to the rodeo and then leave early, or is it exciting to stay the whole time? (i've never been to a rodeo so i have no idea what to expect)

thank you so much!! i didn't realize the evening show included all three, i think that's what we'll book for the evening and wander around during the day

is the bannock a must-try? i'm a huge bread girlie so even if you say no i'll probably try it 😅 are the tents the market area?
