EDMONTON TOURISM
EDMONTON
CAnada
Fort Edmonton Park
Step back 150 years to the
original Edmonton. Ride
the hand-carved carousel
horses at the midway, catch
a Klondike melodrama and
spend a night in the past at the luxurious
Hotel Selkirk. Who knew a time without
tech could be so… invigorating?
Edmonton Arena District
Gather in the city’s hub and heart, the
stunning Edmonton Arena District. A
vibrant public plaza, Rogers place — a state-
of-the-art sports, entertainment and event
venue — and a four star hotel with 362
guest rooms and suites, a 9,500-square-foot
ballroom and 24,000 square feet of meeting
and conference space make it a destination
unlike any other in North America.
West Edmonton Mall
We call it a “mall”. What it is really is North
America’s Mt. Everest of shopping, indoor
entertainment and attractions. 800 shops and
services. The world’s largest indoor wave pool.
Penguins. A casino. Still not interested? Chew
on this: a full-sized
pirate ship. As a bonus,
there is no provincial
sales tax, just the federal
five percent Goods and
Services tax.
Majestic Aurora
Let Edmonton be your gateway to the
magic of the Aurora Borealis in the
spectacular North. Spend memorable
evenings under the mesmerizing Northern
Lights in prime viewing spots where the
colourful sky dance unfolds.
Convention Spaces
Marvel at one of the best convention
views in town at the Shaw Conference
Centre, overlooking the beautiful North
Saskatchewan River Valley, and able to
accommodate events of any size or scope.
The Edmonton Exposition and Conference
Centre is a little bit of high-tech features
with a lot of flexible, indoor space, with
enough room to accommodate the biggest
conferences and special events west of
Toronto.
River Valley Adventure Co.
What better way to explore
North America’s longest
urban parkland than by
Segway? Summer or winter,
wind your way through
our river valley trails, taking in the scenic
landmarks and breathtaking vistas at a
leisurely yet exhilarating 15 km/hr.
