Edmonton & Area at a Glance
Discover Edmonton® - Edmonton is the capital city of Alberta
and is well known for its scenic river valley and a thriving music and art community.
Located 294 km (183 mi) north of Calgary,
Edmonton is home to North America's largest shopping and entertainment complex,
West Edmonton Mall. More than just a shopping centre, West
Edmonton Mall also has a giant water park, a man-made lake, a skating rink,
two mini-golf courses, 21 movie theatres, a Vegas-style casino and an amusement
park with 25 rides and attractions. Edmonton's vibrant population tends to hang
out and let loose at the trendy Whyte
Avenue district, which is situated next to the reputable University
of Alberta. The
Muttart Conservatory, an expansive horticultural spectacle, is noted for its
unique architecture, as is the remarkable Alberta
Legislature Building. Fort
Edmonton Park is a large living history museum that recognizes Edmonton's
past through a series of interactive restorations. Also visit the past at Edmonton's
Klondike
Days, an exciting festival held annually in July.
