Visit our Famous Bridge
Lethbridge's claim to fame is no-doubt our famous High Level Bridge, officially named the Lethbridge Viaduct. Completed in 1909, the High Level Bridge is the longest and tallest operational trestle bridge in the world, standing at 1624m high and 1.6km long. Head down to the river valley to get an up-close look—you can stand beneath the bridge and even brush up against the concrete foundations the bridge stands on! As a bonus, some of the best fall colours appear in the river valley, so you'll get an up close look at autumn in Lethbridge.

Enchanted Mini Golf
A city is much more than it's most well-known experiences, and the Movie Mill's Enchanted Mini Golf is proof of that! Though it's famous amongst locals, this venue is almost unknown to visitors, and we think it's time to break that statistic! Immerse yourself in an enchanted, glowing, and magical world while you take on members of your friends and family in a round of mini golf. Pick up a dirty soda at the Soda Mill on the way out, and you have the recipe for a perfect afternoon!

Galaxy Bowling
If we're talking about glowing, magical worlds, we have to mention Galaxy Bowling. This bowling alley has been a staple in the local community for years, and for good reason. Every Friday and Saturday after 6:00pm, the venue transforms under an array of black lights, immersing visitors in an other-worldly experience. Though bowling may seem like a blast from the past, we can assure you that a trip here won't disappoint.
