in addition to finding good music -lrb- we happened to arrive in time for a jazz festival -rrb- and excellent restaurants -rrb- , we also enjoyed calgary 's extensive gardens , watched a bit of cricket in riley park , rode up the elevator of the downtown space needle to take in the view from the observation deck , and enthralled our 4-year-old -lrb- ok , and ourselves , too -rrb- with an afternoon trek around the calgary zoo .
