Bar U Ranch National Historic Site

Such a great place for adults and kids. Brings you back into the past. Great experience. We were fortunate enough to be there for the work horse competition. Bring water!!! They dont sell any in the park!! They do have a refill water bottle available in the main building.

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.

We visited Bar U Ranch with the idea that we would just drop in for a quick visit and ended up staying for almost 5 hours. I cannot understate how interesting we found the interpretation of this important aspect of Canadian history, which until our visit we were quite unaware of. Highly recommend. Make sure to talk with the interprters who have lots of great information to share.

Fabulous! If you don't know about Alberta history, horses, and western friendliness, you need to go here. Everyone that works there is happy and friendly and that makes you happy and friendly. Good covid practices. Spend enough time to get to know a horse...will set you up for another week of work in the big city.

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.
