Default Indoor Photography Locations in Calgary?

I may be doing some family photos in a couple of weeks and the weather being what it is, I'm wondering if anybody has a suggestion or two on good indoor backup spots around town? The only thing that really comes to mind is the Devonian Gardens. The zoo has some great areas, but it's a big group and I'm not sure what that might end up costing. Any input would be massively appreciated.

Devonian Gardens is still closed I believe. However, some of the Plus 15's have nice little gardens in them you could get a picture at. I can think of a few other places in the Plus 15's that would make for a nice backdrop.

The Lobby area of the Telus Convention Centre might be OK, depending what you're looking for. Very plain, but there are some interesting textures and such on the walls there.

Perhaps the Glenbow Museum or Fort Calgary would also be worth looking into.

Depending on what lighting equipment you have you may want something with skylights.

A few ideas:

- Palliser lobby
- Heritage Park
- Dowtown building atriums (e.g. City Hall)
- Take 'em to Banff, and use the Banff Springs Hotel
- PM Neeper

Great suggestions guys, thank you very much. I don't yet own proper lighting equipment, so this could prove to be an issue.

We had our backup location for our wedding at Suncor Tower 1 (formerly Petro Canada Tower 1).

There is a very nice atrium/entrance in the Trans Canada building downtown that could work. (if it was publicly accessible when you need it to be that is)
