The Commons at ATCO Park — Cooking

My 12-year-old son recently attended the weekly cooking class at The Commons at ATCO Park in Calgary, and overall, it was a solid experience. The instructor, Jess, did a fantastic job keeping the kids engaged while they prepared homemade pizza and a fresh salad. I appreciated the small group size, which allowed for more personalized attention. The class started with a bit of a long line for check-in, causing us to be a few minutes late, but once inside, everything flowed well. My son particularly liked the snacks they provided between cooking sessions. He made a couple of new friends, which was a bonus. The venue itself is bright and welcoming, though it could use a bit more outdoor space for breaks. If your child enjoys being hands-on and is looking to learn new cooking skills, I would recommend this class, but just be prepared for a wait at the start.

I took my 12-year-old son to the weekly cooking class at The Commons at ATCO Park in Calgary, and overall, it was a fun experience. The instructor, Sarah, was really engaging and made the kids feel comfortable in the kitchen. My son was excited to learn how to make homemade pizza from scratch, and he loved being able to personalize it with his favorite toppings. The little snacks they provided during the class were also a hit, especially the homemade garlic knots. One issue we ran into was the long lines during check-in, which made us a bit rushed at the start. But once inside, the energy was positive, and my son made a few new friends while working on his pizza. I would recommend this program, but I’d suggest arriving early to avoid the wait. It’s a great way for kids to express their creativity!
