Looking for a way to beat the heat that doesn’t break the bank? This summer, check out Discovery Canyon, a family-friendly waterpark where fun is inevitable and it’s free to get in.

Located in Red Deer, this unique Alberta destination has a beach, a pool, a concession, a waterfall and a lazy river.

Though it does get pretty busy on super hot days, it’s well worth the trip – so plan ahead, leave early, and don’t forget your sunscreen!

Here, you can climb into a tube and relax for the day, get a tan and make a few memories with your family – though unfortunately, that doesn’t include your four-legged friend.

Feeling like a prune, but aren’t ready to go home?

You can also check out everything else the recreational area has to offer, from the golf course and green spaces to the restaurant.
