The Circle of Life Sculpture, Calgary, Visitor Guide & Things to Do Nearby

The Circle of Life Sculpture is a public artwork at 889 9 Ave SE in Calgary, Alberta. It stands on a city street, so it is an easy stop to fold into a walk through the neighbourhoods east of downtown Calgary.

Tips for your visit

• Plan a short stop. A sculpture on the street is usually a quick look and a few photos, so it works best as one stop in a longer walk.
• Go in daylight. Natural light makes it easier to see the shape and finish of an outdoor artwork and to take good photos.
• Dress for the weather. Calgary can change quickly, and you will be outdoors the whole time.
• Look around the area on foot. 9 Avenue SE is a good street for a wander, and a self-guided route saves you from working out the next stop yourself.
