Jasper National Park and the gorgeous places to visit in Alberta. That being said, Edmonton isn’t just a gateway city, it’s actually a great city to visit in its own right. With heads of the best things to do in Edmonton dotted all across the city, it’s the kind of place you can stay for a few days, before heading into the great outdoors.
Okay, this is an Edmonton winter activity that we loved.
Anyway, the great thing about Edmonton Mall is that it’s not just a typical mall filled with shops. Yeah, the firm favourites and branded stores are all there but it’s so much more than that.
1.) Muttart Conservatory
Okay, so the Neon Sign Museum might not seem like one of the best things to do in Edmonton – but hear me out! Yeah, it’s not your typical type of place you might visit but it’s not too far from Rogers Place and really easy to visit if you’re around that area.
We totally loved it and it was one of the best things to do in Edmonton on an evening in the city. Before arriving in the city, check out the website for tickets and book ahead. It’s such a great atmosphere and totally fun.
So, the Edmonton Mall might just be one of the biggest malls I’ve ever visited! I swear we don’t get them this size in London.
Home to all kinds of wildlife, the park has lakes and wetlands, and it is so scenic. Go watch the buffalo roam in the fields in the summer or head out biking, too.
Okay, Rogers Place was my first-ever venue for a hockey game, and I loved it! I can still remember the chant – let’s go oilers!
2.) Fort Edmonton Park
Heck, what am I saying, it can be freezing! But don’t let that put you off, it just makes for incredible things to do in Edmonton.

It has an Asian-inspired menu that’s totally yummy and the vibe is really cool. We loved it… even the roasted cauliflower which I’d normally turn away from.
It’s such a great way to see a slice of history and the teams that run and showcase the history and are so passionate. One thing to note, it can get really busy on weekends. To avoid the crowds, visit mid-week.
Probably the largest science centre in all of Alberta, visiting TELUS World of Science is one of the best things to do in Edmonton when visiting with the family.
Best of all, Muttart Conservatory holds, well over, 700 different plants from all over the world. And guess what, you don’t just need to be a botany fanatic to fall in love with this place. It’s such an incredible way to learn how these ecosystems work.
Afterwards, get yourself over to MEAT that’s not too far from Old Strathcona Farmer’s Market. If you’re a meat lover, you will love this spot. Their ribs are just so good and juicy.
