Just had my first jump at Eden North skydive on July 15, 2017 I had a fantastic tandem master Sebastien who really help keep me calm and helped me rock my first jump! Scarey at first but totally worth it! I cannot wait to do it again! My day only got better after we landed, as my boyfriend snuck up behind me and got down on one knee! Amazing place! Amazing people! Amazing time!

By far the friendliest and most welcoming staff I've seen. Definitely the place to go whether you're a new or experienced jumper
Tyler B — Google review
Awful, would never ever recommend this place to skydive. To me tandem skydiving there has to be a passion, bond and desire to go on a journey together. Not here, I found everyone working here was cliquey, pretentious and only business oriented. I was appalled at how impersonal the person I was supposed to tandem jump with. So I bailed while in the air and told them I didn't want to jump. In the end it was my fault and I basically threw $300 in the toilet. They at least gave me $ back for the video. Otherwise though, compared to the places I skydived out in B.C , this was absolutely terrible. For the only reason was the snobbiness and impersonal behavior of the staff. Will never step a foot anywhere near this place again and will never recommend them
Dave S — Google review
Took my sister and step sister out for their first tandem jump. They loved it. The staff are great and the owner insists everyone have fun but will not compromise safety. Had my daughter out there as well a couple of years back. She still gets this big smile on her face when ever we mention it. It is an experience you will never forget. Be sure to pay extra for the video you will regret it if you don't.
Duane M — Google review
Tandem jump number 2! This location is fantastic. Organized, professional, and friendly atmosphere. The jump masters were knowledgeable and on top of the weather conditions. Speaking personally of "Jay" (hope I'm remembering that correctly), he took the time to see me as an individual and really seemed to "fine tune" my experience. He helped me get into the headspace I wanted to be in my mind for my second jump. 10/10 would recommend this school and particularly for first timers!

Pigeon Lake Provincial Park offers a unique camping experience with its wheelchair-accessible yurts that provide a blend of comfort and nature. The park features spacious and well-treed campsites, equipped with essential amenities like power, washrooms, and garbage/recycling facilities. Additionally, visitors can enjoy the tranquility of nature while taking advantage of the central shower building and various toilet options available throughout the park.
Visited on 29 September. Amazing place. There was 50 kph wind blowing which made it very cold outside (feel was -1 at 6 pm). However the place was still so very beautiful. The autumn colors of the trees, flying leaves, high waves, all was amazing.

The camping site is large, with flush toilets and free showers. The lake is beautiful and the children's playground is nice. The neighbors are quiet, but the birds are too noisy.

Mid September camping trip. Daughter and I had a great time! Love the trail system. Well maintained and great for biking or walking. Only downside is the nasty lake.
Trevor C — Google review
Great campground, but the lake can be hit or miss.. the water had a decal matter warning and blue/green algae, and smelled quite horrendous as well.. campsite itself was very nice though.
Sean M — Google review
Beautiful provincial campground. Well treed, and nicely spaced out. The trails are very well maintained, and easy to ride our ebikes on, with benches to take a break on along the way. Beach is sandy, but didn't try out the lake as it was a bit to chilly. We were here the first week of September. Some of the sites are huge, can easily put in a 30-35 ft trailer, plus another smaller one, and your tow vehicles. They have group camping as well. Not all loops have power, but there's a dump station on site and potable water to fill your tank.
Roxanne F — Google review
Great provincial park. Staff were very helpful fast and easy check in. Once you find your site you’ll notice they are spacious and nicely treed for privacy. Garbage and recycling station spaced perfectly throughout each loop. There are flush toilets and drop toilets through also. Some of the flush toilets have an outside sink with hot and cold water to clean dishes. There is a central shower building that are free to all campers. We stayed in a group camp site that fit 5 trailers comfortably. The layout of trails all lead to the park/beach area which is perfect as trying to drive there is a bit of a round about way as it’s not clearly marked. The water did have blue green algae when we went. Periods of the day it was clear at the beach roped off swimming area so it wasn’t all that bad and just hit the showers after swimming. The dump station has 4 Sani dumps which helps when leaving on a busy check out days. Great experience over all will stay again.

We arrived around 530pm on the 26th, and there was no one working, so there was no way to get firewood or check in so we still drove in and set up and checked in the next day but no fire wood the first night kinda sucked. The next night, someone was there until 8 pm, so check their hours maybe. Campgrounds are well maintained. We were in the Bs. 5 min walk to the park and beach, If you use the trail. It was private but not secluded. Bathrooms were nearby, and they weren't porty potties. They were actual bathrooms. We had our 4 dogs with us, which worked out nice they were great. There were other dogs around, and a good chunk of them did bark a lot.... but turn the music up, and you're good. 11pm things got quieter, but we still had the fire going and low music just like everyone else. The beach is beautiful... but did have a public notice of swimmers itch reported even though it wasn't on the website. So we made sandcastles and just dipped our feet in ( and washed and rubbed them after). They have kayaks you can rent ( you download an app, etc ). Near the beach is a park-older but still nice. Handicap accessible. Also, there is a big green space you can use. Drinking is allowed at the picnic tables. There are bathrooms ( porter pottys) in the area. This area was fairly busy throughout the day. Showers are free, and when we went at 1pm, were busy for the women's. Pressure and temperature were perfect. One showers pressure was insane but I tried 2 more, and they were perfect. There is no designated place to brush your hair or do makeup, which was fine for me-there is two/three sinks, but then you're blocking everyone who just wants to wash their hands from using the bathroom. So area could be used if not busy. There is a small concession area that you stand outside of and can buy things for camping. For food, they generally only had ice cream. This is where you also buy firewood. Campground is only a 12 min drive from the Village of Pigeon lake and they had some cute places to visit. Overall really nice campground and would stay here again.

Botanical garden
Nature & Parks
The University of Alberta Botanic Garden is a sprawling 240-acre natural oasis located just outside Edmonton. It boasts an impressive array of plants from around the globe, themed gardens, and serene water features. The highlight is the traditional Japanese-style Kurimoto Garden with its winding pathways, tranquil ponds, and lush greenery. Families can enjoy the children's map with attractions like a castle and hedge maze.
Such an amazing garden in our own back yard! The property is expansive, with acres of garden, ponds, and fountains to enjoy. Our family loved the Japanese garden, with a beautiful bridge over the coy pond. If you enjoy gardens, don't hesitate to come check it out. The price was very reasonable for a family, at around $40.
Rob B — Google review
A peaceful and well-maintained space, perfect for a quiet stroll. It wasn’t crowded when we visited, and the weather was lovely. The garden has charming little ponds and a variety of flowers, though we missed seeing them at full bloom. Would love to come back during peak season!
Urja C — Google review
Wonderful way to spend some time in Nature. Dianne on Reception was helpful with her explanations, hints & tips. Espresso coffee available in the cafe. The Japanese Garden & the Agha Khan garden were highlights. We visited on the last day the summer flowers were in full bloom. The deciduous trees & bushes were in full golden or red glow. Great paths, well-signposted throughout.
Robert C — Google review
I and 4 others of my adult family members came to the gardens today. There is a lot of space for weddings and catered events so that part is nice but the gardens themselves were not as great as I hoped. It was more weedy and wild than I remembered last time I came over 5 years ago. It would be nice if the flowers and plants had more labels in English than in Latin or whatever they are. I found the map to be confusing so not as helpful as I hoped. The cafe and shaded tables and sitting area there is very nice, the paths are mostly nice with brick walkways. I enjoyed the showhouses that are like greenhouses with tropical and desert plants. Nicely done! Lots of wonderful plants to see but I feel better labels would be nice. Also some benches are far off the paths so that was not as convenient for my elderly father in law. I’m sure it’s all so much work so thanks for the scenic walk we had today!

A soul-soothing escape into nature 🌿 The University of Alberta Botanic Garden is pure magic. From the tranquil Japanese Garden to the breathtaking Aga Khan Garden, every corner invites peace, reflection, and awe. I spent the day wandering through lush greenery, cascading fountains, and quiet forest paths—each moment felt like a gentle hug from nature. If you love calm, beauty, and soulful connection with the outdoors, this place is a must. Perfect for a picnic, a mindful stroll, or simply letting your spirit breathe. Grateful for this serene sanctuary just outside Edmonton. 🌸💚

Great gardens. Well kept, beautiful, and a nice walk. Would visit again. The gardens had many different trails to explore, with lots of flowers. They even had an indigenous garden! The staff was very friendly checking in and the gardeners were doing very hard work in the hot sun. The plants were arranged super nicely and were well maintained-with the only spot having weeds was the vegetable garden. Overall, a must visit place if you are a tourist in Edmonton- or a local!

A beautiful and peaceful place perfect for a quiet stroll. The University of Alberta Botanic Garden offers a great variety of well-maintained outdoor gardens, charming ponds, and colorful flowers. The Kurimoto Japanese Garden is especially serene and picturesque. Not crowded during our visit, and the lovely weather made it even better. Definitely worth visiting, especially in peak bloom season!
Pasang S — Google review
The University of Alberta Botanic Garden is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit, with a great variety of plants and well-maintained outdoor gardens. The Kurimoto Japanese Garden was definitely a highlight—so serene and picturesque! However, I expected a bit more organization, especially in the indoor areas. The domes were a little disappointing; they felt neglected with dirty seatings and some untidy spots, which took away from the experience. A bit more attention to cleanliness and upkeep would make a big difference. Overall, it's a lovely garden with lots to explore, but a few small improvements could elevate it to a 5-star experience. Still worth a visit, especially on a nice day!

Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
World Waterpark, situated within the West Edmonton Mall in Alberta, Canada, is a renowned indoor water park offering an array of thrilling attractions. It boasts the world's largest indoor wave pool and 17 exhilarating waterslides that promise an unforgettable experience for visitors. Additionally, the mall houses Galaxyland Powered by Hasbro, featuring over 25 exciting rides and play areas suitable for all ages.
I finally got my family to come meet me in Edmonton after a work rotation. We went to the water park for the afternoon and took it all in. I love that there were adult drinks at the bar, and the rides were great for the little ones. They had a blast on all the slides, the wave pool, and the Caribbean play area. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to kill a day in the mall.
Jason L — Google review
After visiting many indoor water parks, West Edmonton Mall’s is definitely my favourite so far. The many water slides and areas to explore tops. Some slides can be pretty hectic here and there specifically ones in which you are dropped straight down. But in general most of the slides here were pretty good. Lines weren’t as bad as thought they would be for a Friday and never did I wait more that 20 minute, this can obviously vary/depend on which slide you’re waiting for. If you’re looking for something not too crazy and fast I would recommend the blue bullet (That may not be the name as I don’t remember it) but It’s essentially a blue slide somewhere in the middle of all the slides and it has two parts to it. Like any other attraction at WEM the price is pretty pricey being the same as Galaxyland but that could’ve change on your age. The wave pool along with all the other activities are also very fun to check out. I’ll typically visit every few years and it’s never a disappointment.
Ted R — Google review
We had a fun experience, however some things I did not love. First off having to purchase a single tube to do the rides, like come on. Yes I know a double tube is free but always long wait and I would have to go every time with my son, so we eventually bought a single. Also the weighing us before certain slides, I’m barely 120 pounds and my son is 60lbs and they weighed us to make sure we are not over 250lbs each… like really… anyone with eyeballs would know we are not over 250lbs. Trying to avoid fat shaming I supposed but really strange concept. Did like how they had dip in dots and served alcohol in the park! The no and out is annoying too. I bought a day pass, I should get to use it all day when I want. My son had fun though so I guess that’s all that matters!

My children loved and enjoyed their entire time. There was a problem with lockers need to be fixed , it took us half an hour to get our bracelets and put our belongings away and need to renovate the changing room area looks so old and the floors were slippery my younger daughter falls so many times.
Salima — Google review
Zip line was not open. There were a few slides closed. Admission fee is the same for swimmers and those who are unable to swim and/or take full advantage of the included amenities . Ridiculous! There is a no leave and return policy whatsoever for Hotel guests. Ridiculous! The locker rental is far too complicated and far too expensive! Ridiculous! WEM management should be ashamed of their greed and inflexibility to disabled visitors. As a resident of Edmonton, I was embarrassed for the out of town friends who stayed at the hotel and were subjected to these absurd pool policies. Shame!
Kevin H — Google review
World Waterpark at West Edmonton Mall is awesome! The wave pool is huge, and the slides are really fun — from easy ones for kids to intense thrill rides. The park is warm and tropical, and there are lots of places to relax. It can get crowded and pricey, and some extras cost more, but it’s a great day out for families or anyone who likes waterparks
Gamer B — Google review
Went to the waterpark for the first time in about 8 years and was quite disappointed from the last time we were there. 1/2 the waterslides now require a tube to go down. We tried renting tubes about 1 hr after the park opened (once we got settled) and they were already out. We tried several more times over the next 4 hrs. Always sold out. Therefore we could not get on most slides that required one because they had very few available for public use. Wait times were anout 1/2 hr to get a tube and then wait at top in lineup. At $64 a person for a pass, plus food, locker rental, drinks, towels and to only get on a ride 3 times was very disappointing. Line ups were very long. People with tubes could get on quicker. My son and nephew were super disappointed and asked to leave early out of frustration. I would be hardpresesed to recommend this to family and friends in the future. Had I known, I would of run to get a tube first thing as soon as I got there. I would think if thats how the park operates now, why not have enough tubes to rent? Or dont oversell entrance to the park. Staff were friendly and polite. Wave pool was good. But waterslides very disappointing. We had 16 year old boys so smaller slides were not an option.
Vicki W — Google review
Very big and spacious. Has lots of slides both for kids and adults. Giving this 4 stars because tickets are expensive and lockers are $15 for medium sized which is very shocking. You can also rent tubes which is even more weird.

West Edmonton Mall

Shopping mall
Shopping
West Edmonton Mall, also known as WEM, is one of the largest malls in North America. It features over 800 shops and a wide range of family attractions. Visitors can enjoy activities such as skating, visiting the water park, exploring Galaxyland Amusement Park, experiencing marine life at Sea Life Caverns, playing golf, and more. The mall also houses two hotels: the themed Fantasyland Hotel and the budget-friendly West Edmonton Mall Inn.
I’ve never been to such a massive mall before! With over 800 stores, it’s not just a shopping destination—it’s an entire experience. The mall features an indoor amusement park, an ice skating rink, an arcade, and even a full water park. There’s also a small marine show that adds to the fun. What really stood out to me is how versatile and family-friendly the place is. There are tons of activities for kids, making it a great spot for families. And when it comes to food, the variety is impressive—there’s something for every taste. The mall is so huge that a few hours just wasn’t enough to explore everything, but I really enjoyed the lively atmosphere and friendly people. I highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area—it’s definitely worth the trip!
Jenny S — Google review
This mall has everything… and somehow nothing at the same time! It’s huge, with a wide variety of stores to explore. There are two food courts plus another large dining area with major restaurant chains. You’ll also find some big-name designer stores for those looking to splurge. For fun, there’s an ice rink, a mini golf course, and so much more to keep the kids entertained. The only downside? There aren’t enough washroom facilities on either level, and they could definitely use more maps to help visitors navigate. If you’re new here, expect to wander a bit before finding what you need. Overall, it’s a beautiful, extremely clean mall—and be prepared, because it’s very busy from Sunday morning straight through to closing time.

Ok, Fantastic Shopping Mall. An absolute gem to have in the city and especially in winter time for local residents to explore, have employment, in away from the cold. Bad news, WEM, this mall, still has absolutely ugly, horrible, unsafe pedestrian and bicycle access. Having made the trek on foot and by bicycle to this mall since it was just Phase 1 to now. Nothing for pedestrian access overall has improved. There is a nice newly refurbished pedestrian bridge between the mall and the hospital spanning the ugliest of highway streets. It's a new pedestrian bridge that still connects to ugly outdated, poor unsafe pedestrian walkways and crossings. And on the mall side it leads to an almost abandoned portion of phase 1 since the Bay closure. The city of Edmonton has an absolute gem of River Valley just a few kilometers away from the Mall. Visitors wouldn't stand a chance to enjoy a walk or bike from the Mall to see it. Which means local residents suffer the same fate. Please make sure to finally work with the city to improve and modernize pedestrian and bicycle access to the Mall from all compass directions. Yes, once largest parking lot in the world accommodates many, still very sad it is an ugly walk from next door to your WEM entrance doors.

West Edmonton Mall is truly an experience, not just a shopping center! It has everything in one place; hundreds of stores, a huge variety of restaurants, and so many fun attractions. I especially loved the indoor waterpark and Galaxyland, perfect for both kids and adults. The atmosphere feels vibrant and welcoming, and the mall is kept clean despite its massive size. It’s easy to spend an entire day here exploring, shopping, eating, and relaxing. Parking was convenient, and staff at the stores and attractions were friendly and helpful. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, West Edmonton Mall is definitely worth visiting, there’s always something exciting to do! I had a full day of attraction here, the food court had varieties of food. I was also opportuned to watch a junior hockey league game and a judo competition during my visit.

->Drove 3500 km to knock this visit off the "Bucket list"<- Heard about this place all my life. Always thought "Wow, an amusement park? A waterpark? A hockey rink? Inside a mall?" But that was back in the 80s when malls were - well, everywhere. Now, not so much so. Almost all the malls in my area are gone so visiting a mall (any mall) is a little like visiting "something special" And boy howdy - was this one ever special!! So we spent the most time (and money) in the "coin and stamp" shop, which isn't just coins and stamps. It's also action figures (new and retro), comics, funko pops and much more. A fun shop! We really enjoyed just walking about and seeing all the stuff. Kids on rental "bouncy bike plush ponies", a mini putt course, pirate themed radio control boats, a full waterpark, and even hung around to catch a hockey game. We ate junk food and checked out Galaxyland (largest indoor amusement park: rides for kids; many Hasbro board-game themed). General pass for adults in 2025 is about $65 (pre tax), kids about $55 and you can pay more to add on mini golf and mirror maze and other stuff. Geez, what a place! Definitely worth seeing at least once! Remember where you parked, eh?

I did this adventure with a friend while visiting the West Edmonton Mall. He had done a similar adventure before while this was my 1st experience. It was amazing. You could really get the sense of actually being there. It was very realistic and well done. There were a few minor glitches but nothing that takes away from the experience. It takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and you are taken on a pretty incredible journey through the pyramid and beyond. The story is well told and easy to follow. One point to note is that if you have a fear of heights you may experience it during parts of the adventure. It is definitely a must do if you get the opportunity.

West Edmonton Mall is truly an unforgettable experience! It’s not just a shopping destination but also an adventure. With hundreds of stores, an indoor amusement park, a waterpark, and even an ice rink, there’s something for everyone. The variety of dining options is amazing, and the atmosphere is lively no matter what time of year you visit. It feels like a small city under one roof, offering endless entertainment, shopping, and fun for families, friends, and travelers from all over the world.

I visited here from Indiana and I must say the mall is probably the reason everyone is migrating from Toronto to Edmonton. You can take the whole family there and stay for several hours. I was very impressed at the amount of stores and everything this has to offer. There is a full size hockey rink with 2 smaller rinks for skills training, car dealership, Asian Walmart supermarket, putt putt, a pirate ship with a lazy river and pedal boats, restaurants that I thought qas the food court but wasn't, a Waterpark with a wave pool and zip lines, indoor amusement park, doggy daycare, every store filled (except Hudson's bay), parking available in a parking garage for free.

We went during the August 21 show and shine and we were so pleasantly surprised with the entire community! A fantastic slice of history in Alberta . We got to experience the best of this community with food, fantastic pie and ice cream along with arts, crafts and live music. The setting of this community is very quaint. We will be back for some peace and quiet and bring a few of our friends to camp next time

Awesome historical location that informs and teaches you about a creamy and how cream is separated from milk and then how butter is made. Then you can have ice cream right there and enjoy the history behind it. I was here 20 years ago and it was enjoyable now as it was then. I would recommend coming here if you can make your way here. There are some interesting activities to participate in and other interactive things. Lots of seating to relax on and a bridge to cross over to a beautiful park area.

A small but well thought out museum. It is interactive enough that my 6 year old enjoyed it. He looked at all the machinery and I told him what their jobs were. My 9 year old and I enjoyed it too. Educational signs but interesting. The cafe has plenty of outdoor seating in the lovely green area, some of which is covered. The short menu is well executed. They sell Foothills Creamery ice cream, which is good quality. After you visit the museum, take time to walk around the town. There are numerous historical interest points.

We have heard about the creamery for a couple of years now and we decided it was time to see what it was all about. We were not disappointed. Follow the interesting production of butter in the old days. It’s interesting how a 20 hp steam engine by the use of various jackshafts provided power for the whole operation.

Went for ice cream at this place. What a joke really as you stand in a long line up finally get to order and they tell you that you have to go to the back yard pay for it then bring the receipt 🤣 all this and not one sign any where warning customers The ice cream certainly wasn’t great I’ve had better from Canadian superstore yellow box creamsicles and I’m not sure if it’s even made on the spot as I notice a worker carrying a tub of frozen ice cream from somewhere in the back forty. Disappointing to say the least! And poor management. Sorry forgot to take a photo the car show and shine I lost my head at some of the nice oldies

Awesome ice cream flavors and staff! We have been visiting the place from last 8 years and never got disappointed! Last year we called and they stayed for 20-25 minutes after closing as we were driving from Pigeon Lake and we did not want to miss their ice cream! Highly recommended place!

Interesting history of Markerville, the Creamery Industry and about life in Alberta in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Be sure to visit the monument to Stephansson the poet of the Rocky Mountains near the Creamery. Also only a few kilometers away is the Stephansson hose historic site.

A wonderful place to enjoy summer with family. The place is really beautiful and a lot of restaurants and coffee shop around the area. Though in summer time looking for a parking slot is a bit hard since a lot of people love this place for swimming fishing and picnic. They have a big washroom that can accommodate a lot of people every year.

Very lovely place to relax and have fun. If you are looking for a spot that is good for kids, parents, and pets, then this is the one you are looking for. We can swim, take boats, and tubes into the lake to have fun. There are also some water activities and boat rentals available. Washrooms and change rooms are also available, and the maintenance is also good. There are some decent restaurants around the town. Paid parking is available across the street, and many spots around.

Excellent beach park. Nice beach with shore line. The whole area is very shallow and safe for kids. There are nice shower and wash/change rooms no family rooms though. Parking is paid be sure to pay or get a ticket. There is a splash/inflatable aqua park for extra fee but its worth it too. There is kids playground, light house and just few picnic benches but a lot of rest bench along the harbour front walk. Boat and kayak rental options are available. It could get quite hot and busy on a weekend so be prepared. Over all highly recommended. Check out photo and videos & Follow for more.

This magnificent lake park offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the urban life without leaving the city. The lush greenery, majestic botanicals, gentle wind breeze, the iconic light house, local cafès, pubs and restaurants, breathtaking sunsets, and calm, beautiful lake... it's the perfect place for picnics, jogging, or simply unwinding with nature. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat to re energize, re calibrate, relax, and rejuvenate. Can't wait to revisit ❤️.

Probably my favorite beach in Alberta traveled here from Edmonton about an hour and a half drive, but come at least five times a year to do some jet skiing. The weather was perfect. The atmosphere was always nice and clean and they had the Battle of the beaches this weekend which added an extra vibe. I wish there an event on the beach every weekend playing music. It was awesome and everybody loved it.

An absolute beauty.. The beach park was sparsely populated making it a perfect getaway for couples and families.. We went on the Thanksgiving Day and would visit again..
AMIT P — Google review
Lots of space to find your own spot on the grass next to the water. Easy access down cement staircase into the water (3 or 4 steps with centre railing). Minimal to no rocks in the water/ sand while swimming, clean, no leaches, lots of smaller fish, minnows and wildlife. Shallow water and easy to swim. There was paid parking with lots of spots right next to the lake front, I paid approximately $9 for 3 hours. It's an app you can download or scan qr code, credit card or card only. Good option for restaurants in the area and other local stores close by. Overall would recommend it's a great place for a day trip or longer. I would travel to this lake again.

TELUS World of Science - Edmonton

Science museum
Museums
TELUS World of Science - Edmonton is a top attraction in Northern Alberta, offering interactive science experiences for visitors of all ages. The center features five permanent galleries with hands-on exhibits on topics like robots and the human body, as well as a state-of-the-art IMAX Theatre and a planetarium showcasing captivating shows. Known for hosting major traveling exhibitions such as Harry Potter: The Exhibition and STAR WARS IDENTITIES, this science center also boasts the largest planetarium in Canada.
We visited on a Sunday and the crowd was not bad at all. The IMAX theater was awesome but I recommend sitting near the back because the front was way too close to enjoy the show. Zeidlar Dome is always a hit with the kids. The place is well kept and clean. The staff is always inviting and helpful. We went as a family of 4 so 2 adults and 2 youth costed us $120. I think the cost is worth it for how much there is to do and see there. You could easily spend 4 hours seeing all the exhibits. There is a cute gift shop, classrooms, labs and a small cafeteria to buy food. I recommend bringing your own snacks and eating outside because it's a really nice space in front of the main entrance. I highly recommend this place for a nice afternoon in Edmonton!

I love science. I love experiments, news and updates on scientific advances, and I raise my daughters in this curious, creative atmosphere. So Telus is a fabulous adventure space for us! every room, every interaction, every show, film, we always feel fulfilled. We always leave happier! we interact with everything, we read, and all of this PLAYING! It's absolutely wonderful. We are members, we always come and enjoy everything they launch!

I went to the Ozzfest laser show at the zeidler dome. I have no complaints, tickets are very reasonable. An overall great experience. Shows are about an hour and a half. Its a nice excuse to sit back relax, listen to good tunes and watch a cool laser show. My favorite is when the lasers are passing through the smoke its so hard to describe but its very cool.

We had a fun afternoon checking everything out. It has been over 3 years since we were last here, so it was fun to see what changed. The main exhibit was really interesting, and I have to give praise to Kevin at the space station. He kept it fun and interesting as he explained everything so even the 10 year old was interested and actually sat still for several minutes. All in all a great afternoon for a family adventure.

I drove up from Calgary to see the Lego Dinosaur exhibit and was not disappointed, truly a one of a kind experience. Highly recommended, don't miss the chance to see it while it's here. Took my time and didn't rush the exhibit, as a Lego enthusiast and dino admirer this felt like it was made for me. Purple Pear was decent, no complaints and happy to have a place to sit and eat in peace within the Science Center.

Fort Edmonton Park

+90 other lists 
Temporarily Closed
Water & Amusement Parks
Brunch restaurant
Fort Edmonton Park is a 58-acre living history museum located in the North Saskatchewan River Valley, offering a journey through different eras of Edmonton's history. The park features four sections representing distinct periods: the fur trading era, settlement era, municipal era, and metropolitan era. Visitors can explore replica buildings, interact with costumed performers, enjoy pioneer games and activities like horse-drawn carriages and wagon rides. A fully functional 1919 steam train adds to the immersive experience.
We visit at least twice a year and the kids (and us) love it. It’s beautifully maintained and cared for and all the experiences feel authentic. Highlight of the park is always going on the train with the animals and Fairground close behind. With the kids being so young we stay for around 3 hours but as they grow and become more curious I can see that doubling. I also really appreciate facilities that allow you to bring food in. With the kids it’s important to get what you need when you need it and not just rely on what you can buy.

So my first time checking it out. I decided to pay for the extra fast pass, and it was definitely worth it. I was in every attraction in 5 minutes or less with long line-ups, but not one time was I asked to show my fast pass. I was a bit disappointed that I wasn't asked, so who knows how many people are abusing this. As far as the show goes, it's an awesome place to do this at Fort Edmonton Park, but it definitely felt like more of a tame, family-oriented Halloween theme. The actors were very mellow, very quiet. Lots of rubber masks, which I find horrible. The haunts were three out of ten, not very scary, not very original. But the lighting outside was great. The idea is awesome, but the haunts were just not there. The food was expensive. I give the show a 3 out of 10. 🎃🎢🎭👎 #Halloween #Haunts #Park #Actors #Masks #Food

So fun! Actors were amazing…I can not express how awesome they were! They went above and beyond making each scare personalized, bought the fast pass so worth it never waited more than 2 minutes and got to get to each haunt twice and the experience was so different from the last. The first time going to something like this and personally it was just right. Each scare was so different it made it so fun, definitely coming back.

A very great place for your to learn about Alberta’s own history and the history about Edmonton and how it become capital city of Alberta. The staff inside there is role play in different era and dress accordingly. They are knowledgeable and explain to us what they represent. It’s divided by era and you can either walk or take steam train which is highly recommended to walk from early era to modern times. Very fantastic place to visit in summer as they closed in winter times. Parking is easy with big parking lot. Recommend to purchase ticket in advance.
Zhaohan X — Google review
Really well done and lots to see. Too much to see actually! It’s too much to walk in a day. It took myself, my elderly father in law and my husband 4 hours to see it all. The steam engine train ride was great, but the streets and buildings are too far apart so I’m not sure how they could improve that. The staff were friendly and actors along the way were a nice addition. Nice to go on a day that’s not too hot cause you will do a lot of outside walking. Interesting experience though for all who like history!

Fort Edmonton Park is such a fun and educational place to visit with family! It’s the perfect spot to spend the whole day exploring, learning, and enjoying time together. There are so many activities and experiences for kids, which makes it an exciting trip for them while also being interesting for adults. From history and culture to interactive exhibits and fun rides, there’s something for everyone. A great place to make lasting memories—I highly recommend it!
Amin S — Google review
Get an early start,you need about 5 to 6 hours to see everything without being rushed. I recommend waiting in line and taking the train from the entrance to the back of the park then walk your way back to the start, the queues and wait for the steam train are the longest, approximately 30min. If you're with young kids the games will be at the end which will keep them interested rather than doing it first. The food shop serves excellent food but can take a while with limited seating, there are seats outdoors, get someone to order while someone gets a table, don't wait for your food then look for a table. After lunch you can use the tram to get between attractions rather than walk. Most games and rides are free except the pony ride.

They also run a community supported agriculture (CSA) program from May to September, with the addition of Halloween pumpkins and Christmas CSA baskets.

This was our second time visiting this amazing place, and it’s just as charming as the first. I recommend buying tickets online, it makes things easier. If you have little kids, I totally recommend it! There are so many fun activities and areas where they can play, discover, and enjoy. You can easily spend 2–3 hours here. They also have super friendly animals like roosters, ducks, sheep, and goats that the kids loved. There are tons of cute spots to take family pictures. The natural scenery is beautiful, and the little decorated houses are just gorgeous — don’t miss them! Parking: Lots of space and staff helping to direct, which makes it so easy. Food: You can bring your own snacks and drinks. They also have a small shop with some food options — the ice cream is sooo good! Plus, depending on the season, you can buy pumpkins and fresh products from their harvest.

We had a family outing at Prairie Gardens today and it was lovely! All the staff were super friendly and very helpful. The kids loved painting pumpkins, Riding on the train, Hunting for gems, And visiting all the animals. It was a great way to spend the day with family and friends.

Highly recommend I checking out anny event to anyone looking to enjoy top-notch performances in a beautiful setting.

Our daughter had her university graduation here. We liked the building and the seating was comfortable. The sound was great as well. The lobby is very spacious. Room for lots of people and a few stands like photo booths and tables to sell university shirts/hoodies and other things. Liked that it was across the street from Churchill Square for photos. I noticed it was pretty well set up for wheelchair/walker access.

I attended the symphony concert in your theatre on Saturday, May 31. It’s a mistake even to came here to this winspear area. While sitting on my place, An audience member made racial remarks towards me saying “You must be doing extremely acceptable to ‘sit with us”?? and giving a racist look”! & when I asked the person what do you mean, he came with the angry look saying don’t bother. Later when I advised the staff of the situation they tried to get me to move my seat rather than address the person who made the remarks. Later again I have to went back to the Person l, so than the staff came and try to act to do something. The guy was just sitting around and happily enjoying while making the racist remark. Staff members who are dealing with the public rather than telling the racist person to leave instead they are telling me to change the seat or leave the show. I have the-full video which I will upload it everywhere. The whole experience is extremely embarrassing and horrible. It’s show the Winspear supports racist behaviour of the people towards people of colours.

What an unforgettable evening at Winspear Centre with Zakir Khan! The venue itself was perfect — comfortable seating, amazing acoustics, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Zakir had the entire audience hooked from start to finish with his signature blend of wit, charm, and heartfelt storytelling. His ability to connect with the crowd made the show feel personal, like we were all part of his extended family. The Winspear staff were professional and organized, making entry and exit smooth despite the huge crowd. Overall, a fantastic combination: a world-class comedian in a world-class venue. Can’t wait for the next time Zakir Khan is back in town!

I was a little sad there wasn't any butterflies however it was still worth the trip!! The parking is free, however you do have to register your plate when you go in. There are benches in the pyramids to sit and relax. There is also a cute coffee shop with tons of seating. They also have seating outside which is really nice also!! Would definitely go again :)

Some days we forget that beautiful things don’t need words. Take a moment to enjoy nature. The air is different in there somehow, take a sit and breathe and if possible ‘exhale’. Plan to figure out a way to can the fresh air. Wanted to buy a plant by I remember that plants also need love, hopefully when I come another the next time I am brave enough and love sufficient to buy one. Also, met some classy ladies and gentleman today. They all seemed so full of life and still at the same time, I took notes.

We’ve been visiting the Muttart Conservatory for many years — sometimes just the two of us, other times with guests from out of town — and every visit continues to impress. It’s one of those rare places that immediately makes you feel relaxed and at peace the moment you walk in. The striking glass-pyramid architecture is beautiful from the outside, and once inside, you’re surrounded by lush greenery and carefully curated biomes. The Conservatory houses hundreds of plant species across four distinct pyramids — Tropical, Arid, Temperate, and a rotating Feature display that changes with the seasons. Each one offers its own unique atmosphere, scents, and colors that invite you to slow down and simply take it all in. Another thoughtful touch is the free parking right outside, which makes the visit even more enjoyable and stress-free. Inside, the attention to design and detail is remarkable — from the art-inspired entrance and courtyard to the ever-changing seasonal displays. Everything here reflects a deep care for both the plants and the visitor experience. The Muttart Conservatory has become one of our go-to places whenever we need a moment of calm or want to share something truly special with friends. It’s a perfect blend of nature, art, and tranquility — a peaceful retreat right in the heart of the city.

A must visit conservatory museum, and I was thoroughly impressed! The ample parking space made it easy to park, and the building's exterior already hinted at the beauty within. Upon entering, I was struck by the neat and well-maintained interiors. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The pyramid biomes were fascinating, showcasing a stunning array of plants from around the world. The café was a highlight, offering delicious refreshments and a cozy atmosphere. But what truly stole the show was the beautifully planted floor garden at the entrance to the museum.A small souvenir shop is also present that has good collectables. I highly recommend this plant conservatory museum to anyone who loves nature, botany, or just needs a peaceful retreat.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Fleur de Villes display. Absolutely stunning displays. It was a curated event displaying 15 florists from Edmonton. Such wonderful talented individuals we have.

Jurassic Forest is a 40-acre outdoor education center and prehistoric preservation site that features life-size, realistic models of multiple dinosaur species. The forest is dotted with these models and visitors can partake in guided tours, play mini-golf or engage in paleontological activities such as digging for dinosaur bones. It is an ideal place to take kids for a day out of the city where they can explore and learn about dinosaurs while enjoying the natural surroundings.
We had a super fun afternoon; the weather was very helpful. The hike was perfect for getting to know the different kinds of dinosaurs that existed, and we were able to learn a little more about them. After taking the two hikes, since you'll have the opportunity to walk through two different parts and observe the beautiful landscape and learn a little about each animal you see, we were able to play golf. It was a lot of fun. To finish the day, we had some sodas since they have food service.

We just spent one night "glamping" at Jurassic Forest and had an amazing experience. The staff were so friendly, interesting, helpful, and knowledgeable, and the entire site was fantastic. Clean, well-maintained, and even the weather cooperated for us! Our tent was spacious and warm, and the 24hr washrooms with running water were much appreciated. The dinosaur animatronics are so cool, and the thoughtful details of the place really made us feel like we were visiting the real Jurassic Park. Highly recommend this place for families to check out this little gem, especially for dinosaur fanatics. My 8-year old was enamored and we can't wait to visit again! ❤️

Our little guy is obsessed with dinosaurs and had an absolute blast walking through their different paths and seeing all of the Dino’s. It’s really great for kids with the giant sand pit in the middle with some “bones” buried so the kids can go discover them. Lots of parking in the parking lot too. Would highly recommend to all parents with kids that like dinosaurs!

I loved this place! Thought it would be hokey but it wasn't. It is well planned out and we'll taken care of. Took one set of grandkids in the summer and another set in the fall. Not sure what time of year I liked better as the view of the dinosaurs was easier in the fall but the coolness of the trees in the hot summer was lovely. Grandkids loved it. There are well maintained boardwalks to use as you walk through the forest. Nice playground that allows uncovering dinosaur bones. I loved this place and tell all my friends about it.
Shelley K — Google review
At the price point it's a solid five stars. Essentially this is mainly a set of wooden boardwalks going through a forest with dinosaur statues (many animatromic or with sound). There are also a few other prehistoric creatures like wooly mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, and giant insects. I also enjoyed the nature signs about many nearby and current dwelling plants, which were informative and educational. Any age could enjoy this but I'd say mainly preschool age kids were present. We spent approx a total of two hours here, but bring a picnic and visit the playground to easily make a morning or afternoon. They do have an indoor washroom, a small concession, a mini golf course, and a little giftshop.

Visiting Jurassic Forest was such a fun and memorable experience! It’s the perfect mix of adventure, education, and outdoor fun — great for families, kids, or anyone who loves dinosaurs and nature. The trails are beautiful and easy to walk, surrounded by real forest and life-sized dinosaur displays that look incredibly realistic. The sound effects make it feel like you’ve stepped back in time! There are also interactive areas and educational signs that make learning about prehistoric life exciting and accessible for all ages. Whether you’re a dino lover or just looking for a unique day trip near Edmonton, Jurassic Forest is absolutely worth the visit. Bring your camera, a sense of curiosity, and be ready for a roar-some adventure!

Great place for kids and family, or even a date. Not too big, has 2 alleys of different dinosaurs, and a big playground with small caffe in a middle. Entering and exiting through the shop. Couple dollars cheaper to buy tickets online

Amazing Cinema! I had a great experience here. Love that the popcorn is topped with real butter. Seating is very comfortable. Sound and film quality are excellent. The staff are so friendly and lovely. Also the prices are very reasonable. This cinema truly is a gem in Leduc :)
Steve T — Google review
First time writing a negative review but I was quite displeased with the managers response to an issue. Watched superman yesterday and the power went out near the end of the last fight scene before coming back on a minute later. I asked the manager if I could get my money back figuring I’d settle for a discount/coupon or something but they just said not our fault, nothing we can do. Asked if I could at least get a refill on popcorn to take home and no dice. She was quite short with me and wouldn’t spare so much as an apology for the inconvenience. Reading reviews I’m not the first person with a complaint like this.
Caleb W — Google review
Although it's a small theatre, it is my preferred place to go. The line ups are rarely too long, I get my snacks in a timely manner and usually with a smile. Since I don't like big crowds, this is an ideal location for me.

Very nice staff, very clean, AWESOME prices for admission and fair prices for concession. The theater we were in was leather seats that were comfortable. Good picture and sound. There's not a lot of entertainment you can get for under 10$ but this is one of them! Highly recommend

A local gem!! Excellent prices! Show times are abundant and the popcorn is 100% better than cineplex. And if you have an issue, they will just fix it. No fuss. Truthfully. I've never watched a movie that has not been at leduc cinema in 5 years. (Any age matinee: $6.00) Support this business I will always be back over and over again.

This is a small-town style cinema: cheap tickets, small theatres, polite kids working and tasty popcorn. They have limited screens but will show the most popular films, which is fine. Ticket prices are very cheap and you get a nice experience so worth it
Michael D — Google review
Unfortunately I find it harder and harder to support this establishment as their business practices have gone down hill and their staff are less than helpful. If a kid drops their popcorn right in front of them, you shouldn’t have to pay full or even half price to replace the .50 cents of popcorn they lost. And if I leave something in the theatre, knowing I was the last person in the theatre and the first the walk in the door the next day, your staff had no right to keep it.

A wonderland of fun-tastic discoveries and imagination. So much better than the snake filled swimming hole I grew up with. This place had NO snakes and NO broken glass. Also... Tons of water!!! Like gallons of water - and all perfectly contained. Nothing at all like the dirt filled swimming hole I grew up with... You can really swim in this place and it's all nice and legal!

Great place! The atmosphere is beautifully calm. I had my son complete his summer 1 lesson here, and it was a great experience. The instructor is very good and professional. He completed it with an actual certification document 😂. Unlike the last center that he did not receive anything for completion.
K P — Google review
It's too far from us for me to give it four stars but there's a nice pool here with one big water slide (adults cannot go with small children) and four small slides in the wading pool (great for ages 5 and under) some of the spray features were not working when we went but the ones that were on were nice. There's a rope swing and climbing wall in the deep end for big kids that can do their lap (without a life jacket for the wall) and a lot of space in the deeper pool (seems like no one took large floaties to that side so I'm not sure it's allowed). One of the best features here is that they have two hot tubs! I think this is great because one can get pretty crowded sometimes. The indoor playground is small, mostly designed for 5 and under.

Had an unpleasant experience with a manager leissa she is really rude doesn't know how to behave n very disrespectful lady Unprofessional management worst place zero ratings. I was told I had to stay with my child all time in a way that felt unnecessarily forceful and inappropriate. While I understand the importance of supervision, the way the lifeguard communicated was unprofessional and made me feel uncomfortable. I believe staff should be trained to enforce rules in a respectful, clear, and courteous manner. This experience left me feeling uncomfortable, will never go back and I hope steps can be taken to ensure better communication in the future.

I recently attended preschool 3 at the Leduc Recreation Centre with instructor’s Mila . Unfortunately, the instructor appeared unprofessional and very disorganized, which made the session confusing and frustrating. There was no clear structure or guidance, and it felt like little effort was put into preparing the class. She often seemed unprepared and gave very little guidance, which made it difficult to follow along. I felt she just came to have fun. Didn't even try to do any effort to help the kids improve any skills. I wish I will never see her again training my kids.

Kraay Family Farm, Home of the Lacombe Corn Maze, is a delightful destination that promises fun for all ages. This hidden gem in Alberta features an impressive life-size corn maze that transforms with creative designs each year, making every visit unique. Families can enjoy a variety of activities including petting zoos and mini-games, ensuring there's never a dull moment. Visitors rave about the joy of exploring the maze and playing in the giant corn pit—perfect for kids!
We had a lot of fun today dodging the weather. So much to do for any aged visitor. We even found more things to do while leaving, so we will have to return to try those things. Bring lots of quarters to feed the critters.

We visited Kraay Family Farm the year before and had an absolute blast — so we came back again this year, and it was awesome 👍. They’ve added lots of new attractions like the piggy ride, the manpower rollercoaster, tubing, paintball, and more. Everything is well maintained, and we appreciated the drinking water stations and hand washing stations set up throughout the farm. The staff were super friendly, and being able to purchase admission online (and save!) made things even easier. The punch card was a great value — especially if you’re a fan of their hot chocolate. There were so many activities that even after 6 hours, we still didn’t get to everything. It’s a fantastic place to spend time with the kids — and we adults had a lot of fun too!

We had a fantastic day at the Kraay family farm! Our granddaughter said we have to do this every year. It was the highlight of our summer! I've heard it called "Alberta's Disney land" & I would concur. We had so many favorite things like the tube slide, the roller coaster, you have to wind it up. Ha ha Probably my personal fav was the singing chicken piano. Everything was well maintained and the staff were friendly. All in all a very enjoyable day!

Heritage Ranch is a sprawling ranch and wedding venue nestled near Alberta's Red Deer River. The Westlake Grill, an on-site restaurant, offers gourmet-casual dining with a picturesque patio for enjoying meals. The ranch is an ideal location for various events such as corporate gatherings, weddings, and birthday celebrations. Additionally, it features activities like guided horseback rides, carriage and sleigh rides, as well as seasonal events like the Flashlight Pumpkin Hunt.
I’ve visited Heritage Ranch in every season and it’s such a beautiful place. So many trails for hiking and biking, beautiful ponds that are so full of life. And in the winter the horse carriage ride makes the cold snow a little more enjoyable. The food in the restaurant is quite good as well.

I got my parents a date night dinner at heritage ranch on the weekend. Just wanted to share the experience my parents had. The service was good, but the portion sizes were extremely underwhelming. Every plate was shareable. For $350 I would expect my parents to leave being full and not hungry on the way home.

I had the worst service, with a long wait (55 mins the be exact) and awful food. The burrata pizza (note it's cost more than $30 for this) had no burrata, and the breadboard featured flavorless and cold bread. The server paid no attention to the guests and served sharing plates with the dinner course. I've been coming here from Calgary for the past 5 years. This dinner marks the end of it. Never going back to this awful place. The only thing that's improved here is exorbitant prices. Goodbye, Heritage!

Cool working ranch that offers either horseback riding or carriage rides. You can walk around and see the horses and walk on some trails also. There is a playground 🛝 for the kids and benches and picnic tables. There is lots of parking available. There are also public washrooms available. Did not do anything with the horses 🐎 but we did eat at the restaurant that is part of the ranch. There is a cool tower that you can walk up and get a great high view of the ranch. My wife and I enjoyed our visit.

Discovery Wildlife Park & Campground offers a unique overnight experience, making it the only zoo in Alberta where you can sleep among the animals. Imagine falling asleep to the sounds of roaring lions and howling wolves! The park is well-equipped with amenities like car rentals, washrooms, tent sites, and cozy cabin rentals for a comfortable stay. Families love spending time here; many enjoy fishing or exploring the animal exhibits while renting golf carts for added fun.
Amazing day out with the kids, the bear show was excellent. I am Canadian but I have been living in Australia and it was so fun to show my Australian kids all of our native Canadian wildlife up close! Also they had reasonably priced golf cart rentals for my elderly grandma so she didn’t have to walk all the way around the park. Definitely recommend!

Excellent place. Well maintained and landscaped. Friendly staff, knowledgeable, and happy to help. The animals seem happy, well provided for. There are golf carts available if mobility is an issue. The paths around the enclosures are well thought out. Where else can you safely get 3 feet from a grizzly? Highly recommended.

If you have a passion for animals, this is definitely a place worth visiting. The facilities are kept clean and well-maintained, which enhances the experience.

It's really a good place to visit. We enjoyed camping and roaming around to see the wild life animals. There is also a bear presentation. So nice! 😉 My whole family enjoyed our 2 nights stay. 💚🌱 The washroom and showers are super clean. Cleaner than hotels😁 We will definitely comeback here. I reschedule our stay here 3 times, they didn't charge us. They are so kind unlike in the other campsite that needs a fee to reschedule it. 🌱
Kate L — Google review
Always a great experience. Team is very knowledgeable. The facility is so clean the wildlife are cared for in such a humane way. Everytime we have gone the keepers are always ensuring the enclosures are spotless. It is a wonderful spot for all ages. Skip the zoo and support a local community you wont regret it. Golf carts are available for ease especially for those who have a harder time walking longer distances. Pack a lunch and spend the day, or pop by the concession for a snack.
Kim L — Google review
Price quite high but beautiful park, many animals in small enclosures despite all the extra un-used land for humans to walk around in. Lots of space for kids to run and play. Very tired and sad looking g animals. Honestly though, they looked very tired or highly lol . Also felt bad for one man lost his 2$ and the poor deer heard the coin go in and waited for over an hour for the treats to come out! Such a tease. So sad. Told 4 staff and not one went to fill the treats. Also this was before noon, so …. Not cool. Would love to see more going I. I. This great place, hire a pro facepainter, sell balloons or hire a balloon clown, so much potential here. Please make the fences larger and help the animals feel more happy/awake ? Many animals stuck to the camp side of fence so was hard to see those ones . Such as camel and lamas… lived the art and nice gift shop. The reptiles should not be I. There first tho g people see who have a huge fear. Should have a more separate area for those types, such as Yyc zoo has.
Lauren — Google review
Overall the site is nice. I would recommend the wildlife park. They have friendly staff, lots to see and you can get fairly close to the animals. Some of the staff work both sides (Wildlife park and campsite). For me I felt that the campsite staff truly did not care about our experience while staying for two nights. We did change our reservation a night before to a cabin, and I was happy that they took the time to do that… but what they didn’t tell us was that there were 5 families using that site for tenting. They crammed us in regardless and they took our full payment for a 6 person cabin stay- even though we had a 4 person cabin (an older version not shown on the website). I asked where we could set up our fire bowl and they said that we have the patch of grass in front of the cabin. Very tight. The next day the large group left so we were able to take advantage of the normal space we would of had. A lot of people left that day so we were enjoying the space. The negative is that because of the lack of people at the campsite, they locked up more of the facilities we had access to. Instead of two washrooms we had one. Same with the showers. Only one was available instead of 4. I feel like they were saving time and effort to clean them, but given there still were campers at the site, people were just having to wait in line. I would recommend staying on a weekday. Weekends are just crammed with people and camp sites are too close together. There isn’t much to do other than fish in the pond, so if you’re not there to see the wildlife, take your business to a real campsite. There is not forest to explore, no open fires (even for cooking) and you have to bring your own water ( or pay a fee). I spend over $400 for two nights. I didn’t see the value for what we experienced.
Victor M — Google review
A must stop. This place was cool. Some walking involved. Rest stops and coverage along the way if it rains. You can rent a golf cart if needed. $20 an hour to rent. Staff were informative and friendly. The main building and bathrooms are in good condition and clean. You get to get pretty close to the animals. There’s even Dino’s along the walk as well as play structures.

A great place for exploring nature while you walk around the pond and get exercise. Good for the whole family, as there is always something to do or see . Best part is it's free. Except for the rental of the paddle boat's if you want to use them. But they do have a website that posts things that are going on to keep you up to date and if there is a cost or not.

The Jungle Farm

A jungle in Alberta!? They have an untouched part of land that they showcase what a lot of Alberta would have looked like before it was cleared for agriculture. We came here with a school group and I was impressed with the organization and informational leading. We came with kids of varying ages, quite a few toddlers with short attention spans, and the staff did a great job making the sessions short but educational. With pit stops for strawberries and pumpkin picking, this was a fun element to include as we toured the farm. The wide variety of pumpkins and squ-umpkins(squash pumpkins) was so cool! The kids do course had an absolute blast on all the climbing structures and the grassy slide hill. Is adults even gave it a go! My youngest adored the tractor wagon ride and the staff were really good making sure everyone was safe around the farm equipment. The u-pick is massive and picking fall strawberries was a first for me! They were so sweet and good. They also sampled us some kohlrabi, which the kids didn’t like but it definitely was a first time for them trying such an interesting veggie( for those of you that are wondering it’s got a texture on the inside similar to an apple or a potato, and a flavour combo of a broccoli and cauliflower). The little market store had a variety of goods, jams, pickled things, and toys. The bathroom situation is probably the only downside with two porta potties…but at least there are bathrooms available.

Great experience picking strawberries. My 2 year old daughter just loved it . The strawberries were the best I have ever had . Some of the juiciest and sweetest. It’s an hours drive from Calgary just before red deer . You could get updates on u picks and availability from their facebook page. They are pretty good at giving updates and up to date information . Would definitely recommend

Very tasty strawberries. This year they are not like last year because of the rains, they are more watery and spoil faster, but they are still much tastier than in stores. The smell is yum yum. The only minus is that there is no place to wash your hands after digging potatoes or picking other berries and vegetables... I also recommend trying their jam 🫶🏻

Had an amazing experience at Jungle Farm! I did the summer baby program with my 11 month old and it was so much fun. It was very well organized and I liked that each week was different. All the fruit and veggies were so fresh and delicious. It was also my first time picking veggies/strawberries and I really enjoyed it.
Brittany S — Google review
Beautiful fruits and veggies, very cool farm with a fun little old country store. The strawberries are bursting with flavour. The nectarines melt in your mouth. At least the ones I bought did. The cupcakes and whoopie pies are delicious. But… Big Tip to the owners, please train employees to not advise to leave wrongly brought dogs in their owners cars as that can lead to death which would put a damper on the whole experience. My bad and apologies for bringing my dog on Farm day, where she was fine at the other farms we’d visited (though none else were pick your own), and I have no problems that she was not allowed in. We (doggy and I) had fun in the extra parking lot field waiting for the rest of our family and running through the grass. But being told to leave dog in the car on a hot summers day was off putting, so please train employees to address such situations in a less deadly manner for the animal.

Checked out this wildlife sanctuary in the middle of Red Deer today. There is an interpretive center and washrooms as well as meeting rooms etc. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. You can take the paved 1km path or the 4km trail. I chose the 4k going left as it was less climbing versus taking it to the right. It was not crowded and quite a pleasant first visit. If you are looking for a change in scenery go have a look.

Kerry wood nature center is amazing, great Flora and fauna to be seen. The leaves and trees were lush with the previous rain 🌧 Had such a beautiful cool hike with our kiddos, they thought they going on a forest hike. Will be back soon. Love the colors of fall on the trails

I hosted my Pet First Aid class in their theatre room. The staff were amazing, they helped with setup and took care of tear down. They were able to help me get the projector connected and working. They were really accommodating and did everything they could to make sure me and my students had a successful class. I really appreciate their help!

Wolf Creek Golf Course

Golf course
Outdoor Activities
I don’t know what about all those reviews in here, but we were on this course on 22 of September, and course is in a great shape! Friendly staff, lots of options of snacks (lady with snack cart was driving around all the time, and between 9th and 10th hole there’s snack shack, you can quickly grab something and go straight to the hole. Nice to see Marshall on the course. Definitely we will be back. This is the top 100 rated golf courses in Canada, because of who designed it. And in our opinion, it’s the best looking course in the area, especially from the drone.

Went to review this course and couldn't believe it's a 3.8. One of the nicest and most interesting courses I've played in Alberta. Greens were fast and true and the rest was well kept. The pro at the proshop was super nice and helpful, and the server the restaurant was really sweet.

Great experience. I played the old course 23 years ago as a junior and came back for a stop on our golf trip. It's just as challenging as I remember. It was in amazing condition. Fairways were beautiful. Greens were rolling and we had an 8am tee time. Lots of placement shots which make for a very special round. Can't beat the staff, they were all professional and very accommodating. The clubhouse is phenomenal. Don't drive past this one your whole life. Stop one day and see what a course playing the natural lay of the land in that area is all about. Great Great round. We didn't play the links so can't speak for that. This will be a regular stop on our newly founded years trips to mid and southern Alberta

Played the front nine on the Old Golf Course with 3 others. Had a very good time....a bit of walking is required because you can't drive the cart on several of the fairways, The fairways and putting greens were in excellent condition. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Had a nice dinner on the deck...average price was slightly over $20....comparable to most restaurants.

We’re here on a week long trip from the States. We saw the pictures from June, and we had pretty low expectations for this course. While there are still some patches, the tee boxes, fairways, and greens are looking so much better. The course was totally playable and is a great track! As they nurse the greens back, they were a little slow as well. The back 9 on the Links course is an awesome design! There weren’t many people on the course, so we were able to play pretty quickly. It’s time to give Wolf Creek another look!
Nathan G — Google review
The premier track that you remember, is dead. Played 9th June, the course looks like a course that was in receivership at the end of last season. The club house, carts, course, are in complete disrepair. This used to be a great course, but those days are gone, the new owners better have them some deep pockets, because to get this course back is gonna cost.
M H — Google review
The facility appears very aged and highly suggest a renovation to maintain golfing expectation standards. Downstairs bathroom stall door locks are broken. Appears for a while. The men’s club area downstairs looks like a storage area. The cart paths are very aged and difficult directions to understand. Example hole 16 and 18. The fairways and greens were awesome. Great layout. Challenging. The golf course itself I loved. The facility would like attention too.
Troy H — Google review
I played roughly 20 rounds this year and it is the hardest course I ever played. The facility need to be updated. And the only reason I gave 3 stars is because today was so freaking hot and the I only see the staff once on the course and the machine was not working. If the machine is not working, due to the weather like that. The players deserve at least one free drinks for water.

The Reynolds-Alberta Museum is a celebration of machines that have impacted lives worldwide. This internationally acclaimed museum offers hands-on activities and exhibits for all ages, allowing visitors to interact with the machines on display. With over a hundred well-preserved vehicles, including vintage cars, motorcycles, and farming equipment from the 1910s to the 1950s, the museum provides a nostalgic journey through time.
I recommend visiting. An incredible collection with a huge number of interesting exhibits: cars, helicopters, airplanes, various equipment. This museum will be interesting for all ages. This is a huge exhibition that occupies several large rooms, and some exhibits are also presented outside. A fascinating journey into the world of technology. You can see the cars up close and sit in some of them. The cinema is a special delight.

An impressive collection of cars, revealing the history of agricultural machinery and aviation... and more. You'll definitely enjoy spending a couple of hours here. For children, there are plenty of activities to help them understand physics and mechanics
Roman T — Google review
A must-visit for car and airplane lovers! If you love cars and airplanes, this museum is the place to go! I visited and really enjoyed it — they have a huge collection of well-preserved classic cars and oldtimers. The entire place is very well organized, and there’s so much to see. I spent about two hours there, and it flew by. There’s also a separate area with airplanes, which was just as impressive. I absolutely loved this place and highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area!
Alberta C — Google review
Went there to check out the restaurant and ended up enjoying the museum…so glad we did! It was a very cheap activity for the amount of time we spent there. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and the museum was very clean, organized and had many cool vehicles to view! Will include some photos but you need to check out the rest in person…also, hit up the restaurant for an excellent burger!
Phat B — Google review
The best museum and collection for those of us that like things with motors. With motorcycles, planes, farm machinery, construction machinery and cars and trucks they have a bit of everything and some of their collection are very rare and interesting. They are also always changing up the exhibits so it's never the same each time you visit.

Took the kids to the Reynolds Museum in Wetaskiwin and we all had a blast. The mix of classic cars, planes, and hands-on exhibits kept everyone entertained. There’s so much to see, and it’s really well put together. A great family stop — we’ll definitely be back!

The Reynolds Museum was absolutely worth the drive! What a fantastic place to visit with kids — engaging, educational, and fun. The collection of vehicles is phenomenal, with beautifully curated and well-done displays. We’re so glad we made the hour-long trip; it was time well spent.

Lovely garden in Trochu Alberta. Even on a very hot day, many shaded areas provided cooler spots to sit and enjoy the lovely flower beds and many types of trees. Although lots of signage for tree varieties, it would be nice to have signage to identify some of the lesser known flowers.

Rochon Sands Provincial Park

Provincial park
Nature & Parks
Rochon Sands Provincial Park, situated on Buffalo Lake, offers a wide range of activities such as swimming, canoeing, sailing, windsurfing, fishing and birdwatching. The camp sites vary in size and layout to accommodate different trailers and tents. Visitors can enjoy a sandy beach with a public boat launch and good fishing spots. However, it's advisable to bring bug spray due to the presence of insects and large red ants in some areas.
Clean sites, very quiet. Beach is nice and there is a lovely walking trail around the campground. My daughter and I love it there. We were able to check in a few hours early as well, which was a huge bonus. We will be back :)
Shayla E — Google review
Rochon Sands Campground offers sites suited to both RVs and tents, including open spots near the lake and others nestled into the surrounding forest. There are a handful of walk-in tent sites as well. Enjoy lots of beach and lakeside activities here: swimming, canoeing, sailing, windsurfing, power boating, fishing, birding and wildlife watching.
Afaq J — Google review
The sites vary greatly so you have to check carefully. Some have lots of trees and some are wide open. But the beach is really flat and you can walk out really fast. Great for young kids or people who aren't comfortable in deep water
Greg W — Google review
This is the best beach on Buffalo Lake. The one section of it is very rocky, but the other side is exceptionally nice sand. Very soft and sandy, not rocky at all. The actual lake itself can vary depending on time of year and depth as to whether the water is clear or mucky, but do expect some seaweed. The beach itself is average sized. The depth is very shallow so that you can walk out likely 200 metres or more and still have it not past your waist. This beach is lovely but not too busy. Even on busy weekends I have never seen it so busy it’s impossible to snag a decent spot. The beach has an old change room, and some stinky and dirty outhouses. But thankfully it does have a shower to rinse off at. If you walk a ways or drive about two minutes from the beach you’ll get to a little snack shack which is tasty, and a playground which is new and quite good. My kids enjoy it. There also is an older playground right at the beach, but it’s not the greatest. The beach asks for a dollar or two per person but it is not enforced strictly. This is my favourite low-key central Alberta beach. And definitely a lot better, in my opinion, than the other beaches I’ve been too on Buffalo Lake.
Danelle W — Google review
When the water level is low enough, the sandy beach besides boat launch site is gorgeous for enjoying the summer sunshine. The sand is so soft and laying on it feels like u are in somewhere southern ocean beach. The campground nearby is pretty organized, and bushes and trees around each site provide good privacy. Each site is far away from the neighbours. If u enjoy this park please don’t forget to pay $1 at the beach entrance to local foundation which maintains this park
Sam Y — Google review
This is a clean and very well kept provincial park on Buffalo Lake. The camping sites are big, and there are dozens of individual and group camping sites. There is a boat launch in the park.

This is a beautiful beach to go to, we absolutely loved it and would go back. They have a play structure here, day use area, very clean place. No lifeguard on duty. Dogs are allowed at this park (on a leash) but not allowed on the beach. Outhouses are located at the beach and near the entrance of day use area which are kept very clean. Sandy beach but rocks are in the water so wear your water shoes. Boat launch at entrance of day use area.
Joni — Google review
A hidden gem in Alberta! A quaint, sleepy lakeside community with a beautiful beach and a sandy bottom shallow lake. I went there to play a round of disc golf and lived the community. The locals are very friendly. The disc golf course is short but still fun. Hole 14 is up the road from hole 13 and so is not obvious unless you have the u-disc app. Hole 18 finishes at a snack shack with reasonably priced burgers, fries and ice cream. A great place to spend a summer day!

Bleriot Ferry

Mentioned on

Ferry terminal
The Bleriot Ferry offers a delightful and unique experience as it gracefully traverses the Red Deer River, connecting two segments of the North Dinosaur Trail. Built in 1913 by Andre Bleriot, this charming cable ferry spans just 105 meters (344 feet) and operates free of charge from April to November. Visitors can step out of their vehicles for a moment to admire the impressive machinery at work while enjoying stunning views along the way.
Shortest ferry I have ever been on, no waiting, and the crossing was under 2 minutes! It was also the shallowest ferry ride I have been on having only 1 foot of clearance from ferry bottom to riverbed. No fee ferry.

This ferry is very short and fun for kids. It's functional obviously to get across. It's mostly like a flat piece your car drives on and I think it can fit 4 cars? The whole trip takes 5 minutes maybe even less.

We came at this ferry at around 2150hrs and it was pitch dark, Terry the Guardian Ferry was amazing. He kinda guide us and told us some amazing experiences he had. Just like the other day, he said about 1k has crossed the river that is about 3ft deep only from 8 am till 3 pm. He also does the turning on and off of the pulley system of both ends. Thanks Terry for showing us and entertaining us on that short ride, you’re doing great and we appreciate what you do.

VERY cool!!!! You do not have to come this way but it is a nice change to slow down and enjoy. The guy running the ferry was really nice talking to everyone and happy to share about the area. Great drive down into the valley and back out.

Delivering cars to the other side safely and slowly. Seriously though, this is the slowest ferry I have ever been on ..... but I loved it. Nice and relaxed. Highly recommend when your in the area.
Alicia M — Google review
This is a great way to experience a cable ferry and the ferry captain/driver was humourous and super happy to show how the ferry operates. You're allowed to get out of the car, quickly take a peek over the guardrails to see yourself atop the metal contraption being winched across a fast moving river, them quickly hop back in so you can drive off and let the oncoming cars board. Best part! It is free to use this service and the mini adventure is totally worth the driving time / detour.
