There’s lots to see and do at Fort Whoop-Up!
With activities and programming offered daily from May through early September, guests can try their hand at a variety of different traditional Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Métis, and settler traditional crafts and skills while learning about the region’s amazing local history in a replica fur trading fort.
From May 15 through Sept 07, the Fort hosts a variety of livestock and offers daily historical tour wagon rides through the Oldman River Valley. Cool down with a custom flavour of local Milkman Milk Bar ice cream and peruse the Fort shop for unique gifts.
The Fort is also host to amazing programming and events over the course of the season, so stay tuned to our Events page for updates.
To complete your day, take a scenic hike through the coulees to the Fort’s sister site, the Galt Museum & Archives. Parking is free, and no pre-booking is required.
