My family and I are planning a trip out West, what should we do when we stop in Edmonton?

Answer 1

One guy said go see a hockey game?? Are you clueless, hockey season was over three weeks ago. It's the dead of summer.

Klondike Days is taking place in Edmonton in two weeks. It's a big fair, with trade shows, rides, food, and chuckwagon races at night.

There is West Edmonton Mall, but that gets very boring after a while.

If you want a true western experience, then drive out to Jasper and then south to Banff. Experience the Rockies, it's something that will just blow your mind. It's absolutely beautiful. To be honest, there is little to do in Edmonton. That's why so many people call it Deadmonton

Answer 2

It all depends on when you come. Present events = street performers' festival, Shakespeare Festival; upcoming is Capital Ex (former Klondike Days), Dragon Boats, Edmonton Grand Prix (vroom vroom); Heritage Days (big food fest), A Taste of Edmonton, Folk Festival, Cariwest, go fringeing at the Fringe, and on, and on, and on.

Of course you can always do the usual stuff, like Fort Edmonton Park, go malling at the mall that ate Edmonton (West Edmonton Mall), but consider renting bikes and cycle through the river valley, or rent a canoe and go paddling through the river valley, or go to the police museum, just because you can, or go to the Royal Albert Museum.

Answer 3

Go to Whyte Ave and shop. Theres really cool shops down that way, or if you're into more of a commerical shopping location, go to West Edmonton Mall.
