Edmonton's Capital Region is full of exciting and informative attractions, all just beyond the city limits.


Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village
Within a short drive of the city centre you'll find scenic areas where wildlife abounds, historical sites in St. Albert, and the community of Fort Saskatchewan, dating back to 1875.

Southwest of Edmonton youčll find Devon, home of the Budweiser Motorsport Park and Devonian Botanic Garden, which features over 10,000 species of plants.

The communities surrounding Edmonton also boast major performance facilities, including Festival Place in Sherwood Park, Arden Theatre in St. Albert and Horizon Stage in Spruce Grove, which host a variety of concerts, theatrical events and children's entertainment.

A short drive is all it takes to enjoy Canada's first wildlife sanctuary, Elk Island National Park (50 km east of Edmonton on Hwy. 16) or the Strathcona Wilderness Centre which offers canoeing, hiking and cross-country skiing. The Cooking Lake-Blackfoot Recreational Area has over 150 km of trails for mountain biking, snowshoeing and horseback riding.
