The CF Chinook Centre (more commonly known as Chinook Centre) was always destined to be a major destination point for Calgary. Opened in 1965, it is conveniently located near the city center and is only 20 minutes from Calgary International Airport. Over the years, it grew to become Calgary’s largest shopping mall with more than 250 stores and restaurants. Beyond providing a sublime shopping experience, Chinook Centre offers numerous dining options, including seven full-service restaurants, and fun entertainment options, including a 16-screen movie theatre with IMAX, a nostalgic handcrafted carousel, and a bowladrome for bowling enthusiasts. It is also well known for its special features that include a towering Albertosaurus, imaginative flying machines and a time capsule located at the center of the mall’s four-story rotunda.
