Edmonton is full of great shopping and of course we cannot begin to talk shopping without mentioning West Edmonton Mall.

Edmontonian’s must give a big “shout out” and “thank you” to all of our city’s fine engineers for completing the Anthony Henday, which will take any traveller from as for North as 97 th street all the way to “West Ed” in under 20 min…


Now… West Edmonton Mall REALLY is the place to be in any of the four seasons. “West Ed” features something for EVERYONE, there is an indoor Skating Rink, Mini Golf Course, Indoor Amusement Park (Galaxy Land), Movie Theatre’s, Underground Sea Life Taverns and of course countless shops and places to eat.


Edmonton boasts a broad variety of Museums, Galleries and other attractions; I would now like to highlight a few more “hidden” gems our city has to offer!


A big favourite is the Art Gallery of Alberta, with its excellent depth of international and provincial collections.

You get a great view of Edmonton’s work-of-art City Hall from Sir Winston Churchill Square, at the heart of the Downtown Arts District. Please come in for a look at the fine collection of artworks displayed.


There are also many small unique galleries such as the Bearclaw Gallery which features fascinating displays of First Nations arts and crafts, including Inuit soapstone sculptures.

You can contemplate contemporary and experimental works in the artist-run Latitude 53.


Be sure to allow yourself enough time to make this a leisurely experience. Just west of downtown, around 124th St., the 12-block Gallery Walk leads you to a great variety of Canadian art. Learn more about the Gallery Walk through the stories of people who've experienced it.
