High tea was awesome, fancy, flavourful, and lots of historical features. Service was great. My favorite prosciutto with fig and the scones.wow. Our server was informative and friendly. Gift shop was cute. Definitely reccomend. Want to try murder mystery dinner next. Dress up too it's fun
Interesting historic home with beautiful woodwork. Our group had tea, coffee, and scones in the restaurant under the watchful gaze of Morris Moose and other animal heads. A great place for high tea.
Attended the Night of Metis Music and Conversation here. It was a lot of fun, the music was wonderful, the storytelling was fantastic, and there were information boards all around the house telling the history of Metis peoples in Alberta.
We got married at the Lougheed House in September 2022 (ceremony and reception) and everything was perfect. The setting, the rehearsal, the communication up to our day and on the day, the catering, the professionalism of the staff. Highly, highly recommend this beautiful and unique venue and A Certain Flair Catering who is the in-house caterer. Thank you Lougheed House for the most amazing day ever.
It was a great pleasure for my family and I to dine outside at Lougheed House on August 25. The food was delicious, Tasha provide wonderful service and the lovely Julie added a special touch to our evening.
What a beautiful historic site! The food also smelled amazing. Gardens are beautiful. $25 for a family tour was well worth it. The audio recordings in each area are very interesting as well.
My husband and I had our Valentine's dinner here, and it was amazing! A delicious four-course meal with wine pairing for each course. The ambiance of the heritage building only added to the experience. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a special meal out. Reservations are a must.
No one knows there is a restaurant inside! If you've never been inside the Lougheed House you need to try out this hidden gem. We had one of the best meals EVER. Note, that's it is more of a fine dining experience so it's not cheap, but trust me, it's worth it! Loved the atmosphere of dining in a museum and the lovely views. Definitely will be back.
Such a lovely visit to the restaurant we had today. The House is all decorated for Christmas and looks simply wonderful. And the lunch for all of us was great. I'll try to find other friends to bring here too!
Do not use there recommended caterer Chef Judy and Flavour YYC for any event that you care about good service, care and attention to anything and delivering what they promise! Because you will NOT get any of these things with this pathetic business that made our wedding a disaster after another disaster!
Wonderful Tour, loved the place, truly beautiful, with typical Victoria/Edwardian grandeur and craftsmanship. Interstate story and built for a interesting family. I had a lovely strolling around the place for ages hours and really enjoyed my time talking to the young lady with dark curly hair and glasses going to University of Calgary, she was great and had interesting answers to my questions.
Beautiful house and very informative guided tour. Our guide was well versed in Canadian history and the family, and while the tour went a little over time, overall it was a very pleasant experience!
Took the kids for the Christmas set up they had. It was cool, but when we were there they still didn't have many displays from the schools and I wish I had known and would have went when it was complete.
Awesome environment for a Christmas Escape Room adventure. We saved Anjanette from the Naughty List. Thanks, Rudolph for leading our family team in song.
The Santa Breakfast is a very special event to take your littles to. The house is decorated so beautifully and every element is well thought out with charm to spare. Tickets are limited, keeping the event magical and very special. Oh, AND the real Santa stops by for a visit. A great way to kick off your holiday season.
The architecture is so grand in this house. Every little nook has a beautifully designed feature. From painted stained glass windows to textured wallpaper, this house is a step outside of today and into the past. If you're looking for a place with ornate detail this house has it. Their gift shop is small, but has items for everyone. The staff are pleasant and easy going. As a fun addition, there are decorated spaces for picture posing.
What a place! We attended a Halloween event there, and it was an absolutely unique experience. Very atmospheric, fun and educational at the same time. Great thanks to the staff!
Great place. Garden is amazing. The restoration or preservation of the old house is nice to see. Its a good place for small events with room to roam and nice hardwood floors.
Twas really disappointed when I found out it is not in fact the crypt keepers home, just some creepy old white guys idea of nice. Turns out there it dosnt even have a crypt and the only ghouls you'll find will be asking for change.remind people to poop an scoop!
Beautiful house. Lovely gardens and restaurant. I would suggest a food truck on lawn in summer serving up tea time goodies with some picnic tables and umbrellas. Capitalize on the blending of Metis and British culture in this great Canadian family. My daughter and I would have played croquet if there was something to rent for a few dollars.
As an American, I'll admit it, I know nothing about Canadian history after the French and Indian War. It was very interesting to walk through one of their historic sites and learn something about the brace men and women who pushed the Canadian Frontier further west, the friendly native Americans whom the encountered, and their rich cultural heritage. The kids really loved it too. I also enjoyed the gardens and architecture as well.
Super fantastic so beautiful and interesting so much to look at and read up on. The people who work there are so nice and informative make it's worth a trip.
We had our wedding at Lougheed house. The Venue is absolutely beautiful. It has amazing gardens and main garden with lots of flowers to have ceremony. Inside is pretty well setup too. The most amazing part about this venue is the restaurant service. Kerri the restaurant manger is the best catering manger we could ask for. She is super helpful, flexible and understanding. She provided us with last minute stuff that we forgot to bring and helped out to make out special day more beautiful. We are extremely happy with Lougheed house and specially the restaurant service. We highly recommend this place and the catering service!
I had no idea what to expect. I wanted to see what they had for métis information.clearly I need to look into this family. Very interesting. Beautiful house and grounds. I'll go back when it's not a special event! Just amazing!
Visited this place couple weeks ago and we really enjoyed it. The gardens are breathtaking and the house is really interesting. I also liked the fact that it’s not too crowded so that you can enjoy each and every detail.
It was super interesting in finding out the history in this place, other than the guy who was supposed to be guiding me, never guided me anywhere, and literally just sat in the library, and was actually a tad rude. Other than that it was a great experience
This was definitely a fun experience. We visited the mansion with our family and we all loved it. We also took pics wearing vintage clothes and accessories. It was a sunny and beautiful day, so visitors were also enjoying the outside space. Staff was really nice.
The actual exhibit on the bottom floor was great but a little small. The house has been restored beautifully but it’s hard to care about an old rich white family whose predecessors are still rich. Would have been been better if they told a story but all the information blips just talked about the families achievements and none of their hardships which made it uninteresting.
