Huge mall. was for many years the largest in the world. it Boasts a water park, Aquatic animals, Massive water park, and amusement park, mini golf courses, shooting range,Bars and Restaarants, event Venues, Hotel, Ice rink. I haven't been there for a while but they used to rent Segways for people to see the whole thing. Traffic can be congested, and I am not fond of large groups, so I rarely go. This mall once had more submarines (decomissioned sadly), than the Canadian military. If you rush through without doing anything you might be able to manage it in a day. but to exoplore and really enjoy what it has to offer plan for a few days.

I love taking the Edmonton Queen. the early Cruises are more budget friendly, you can buy a snack from their fastfood menu or eat before going. the dinner cruise is more expensive but still reasonably priced. You get a spectacular view of the city, and the food is wonderful, ( not exotic, just well prepared and tasty).
