Known by Stoney Nakota First Nations folks as Ho-run-num-nay, this glacial lake located in Banff National Park gets its turquoise color from finely grained rock particles contained within the ice as it melts in the lake. If you’re a big fan of the movie Thelma & Louise, you’ll be happy to know that there also happens to be a Lake
Thelma.

Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre serves as an open-air theatre focusing on the work of Shakespeare.
Highlights
Not only does the Globe Theatre host many performances throughout the Summer months, but it also hosts guided tours of the playhouse. During the tours, visitors are educated on the construction, the design and the rich stories of the 520-year-old Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. Another highlight includes Shakespeare’s Globe
Exhibition, which educates visitors on Shakespeare’s life, as well as where he lived in London.
Depending on when you visit, there may also be some short exhibitions inside the playhouse, which range
from historical to art exhibitions.
Special Tips
If you want to avoid large crowds, try to avoid watching performances between May and August as it can get
busy. If you plan on going on a tour, the 9:30 a. m. tours are usually the quietest.
If you plan on sitting on any of the wooden benches during a performance, it may be a good idea to rent a seat
cushion for $1 as the benches can get quite uncomfortable after you sit for longer periods of time.
Make sure you check the weather forecast before you book your tickets. The use of umbrellas is not allowed, so make sure you have an extra raincoat and warm shoes, just in case. If you’re worried about standing in the rain,
there are seats available that are protected under a sound roof.
Ticket Prices and Opening Hours
Due to the fact that the Globe is an open-air theatre, performances are only held from mid-April to
mid-October.
Tickets for opera performances cost 10 per person(for standing)or 26-879(for seating), while tickets for
comedy shows cost 10 per person(for standing)or 25- 35(for seating).

from historical to art exhibitions.
Special Tips
If you want to avoid large crowds, try to avoid watching performances between May and August as it can get
busy. If you plan on going on a tour, the 9:30 a. m. tours are usually the quietest.
If you plan on sitting on any of the wooden benches during a performance, it may be a good idea to rent a seat
cushion for $1 as the benches can get quite uncomfortable after you sit for longer periods of time.
Make sure you check the weather forecast before you book your tickets. The use of umbrellas is not allowed, so make sure you have an extra raincoat and warm shoes, just in case. If you’re worried about standing in the rain,
there are seats available that are protected under a sound roof.
Ticket Prices and Opening Hours
Due to the fact that the Globe is an open-air theatre, performances are only held from mid-April to
mid-October.
Tickets for opera performances cost 10 per person(for standing)or 26-879(for seating), while tickets for
comedy shows cost 10 per person(for standing)or 25- 35(for seating).
