Book your visit
You can spend your time at Little Red Reading House any way you like! Children can find a cozy nook to curl up in and read independently, or enjoy a story read aloud by their adult, or the House Hosts. At the end of your visit, each child can choose a free book to take home and keep.
Note: We are closed for maintenance in January so please make the most of our December visits! We are now hosting up to three families in the house to enjoy our many unique reading rooms. Be assured we’re always following current restrictions with the wellbeing of families and our team in mind.
We honour the City of Calgary Fair Entry Program. For more information, please visit https://fairentry.calgary.ca/. When making a fair entry booking, select the 'fair entry' button on the next screen and you will be asked to show proof of your fair entry pass at your visit. We never want cost to be a barrier. Please reach out to hello@littleredreading.house and we will work with you to find a way to enjoy our special reading place.
My daughter was so excited to get her first chapter book and have a "this book belongs to" sticker with her name.
