HIGHLIGHTS & THINGS TO DO
CHURCHHILL SQUARE
You can enjoy leisurely walks through Edmonton’s main city square, named in honor of the famous British Prime Minister. Sir Winston Churchill Square usually plays host to the city’s big, multiday festivals, including the Edmonton International Street Performers Festival that takes place around July. On any other day, it’s a great starting point for downtown sightseeing, with memorials, statues and clocks to see, and with significant buildings such as the Edmonton City Hall and Art Gallery of Alberta nearby.
FORT EDMONTON PARK
You and your family can enjoy a fun blast into the past at Ford Edmonton Park. It presents historical recreations that hark back to the city’s history, spanning the North American fur trade, Alberta’s oil boom, and the history of the Canadian Pacific Railway. You can watch live demos at the 1846 Hudson’s Bay Company Fort, relive a settler’s journey on a horse-pulled wagon, dress up in period clothing, or ride on a steam train. Tickets are around $27.50 for adults and $22 for kids aged under 17.
EDMONTON MALL
You’d usually need more than just a day or some revisits to experience this mall’s full range of offerings. West Edmonton Mall is the largest mall in North America, with over 800 stores, 9 attractions, 2 hotels, and over 100 eateries within. You can find a vast collection of notable brand and designer fashion stores that range from Tiffany & Co. to Michael Kors. But unlike most malls, it’s an appealing go-to for sightseeing, with great animal attractions such as the Marine Life aquarium and the Sea Lions’ Rock inside.
MUTTART CONSERVATORY
Edmonton’s Muttart Conservatory has prominent glass pyramids as its centerpiece. These also make up one of the city’s skyline features over the North Saskatchewan River valley. The pyramid greenhouses shelter the conservatory’s four climate-controlled biomes, each of which feature hundreds of different plant species. You can explore each through the interconnected atriums. The unique greenhouse designs make it possible for each biome to be flooded with natural light. This gives the unique sensation of exploring nature in the great outdoors while you’re indoors. Tickets are around $12.50.
ROYAL ALBERTA MUSEUM
You can find a trove of Alberta’s natural and cultural treasures inside Royal Alberta Museum in downtown Edmonton. Among the intriguing exhibits is a collection of First Nations cultural treasures, including beaded sealskin snowshoes and hunting tools. There are also life-size ice age skeletons and replicas of mastodons and sabre-toothed cats. If you’re visiting as a family with kids, there’s a dedicated gallery where they can engage in free play and actively build stuff through hands-on exhibits. Tickets are around $19 for adults and $10 for kids under 17 years.
DUCHESS BAKE SHOP
It isn’t hard to find a spot around downtown Edmonton for pleasing your sweet tooth. Edmonton’s great collection of pastries and bakeries include longstanding legends and a few newcomers. Duchess Bake Shop is a prominent spot where you can select from a full display of classic French pastries. There are Florentines, croissants or éclairs to go with your coffee, and their key lime and butter tarts are very popular. You can bring home some recipes by picking up their cookbook, too.
