Coast Edmonton Plaza Hotel By APA

Edmonton is a vibrant urban centre in the heart of the wilderness, with extensive urban parkland and engaging cultural attractions.

Flowing straight through the heart of the city, the North Saskatchewan River Valley is a collection of scenic parks creating a ribbon of green space 22 times larger than Central Park. Within the city there are numerous cultural attractions such as the Art Gallery of Alberta, the Royal Alberta Museum and Fort Edmonton Park, a faithful reconstruction of Hudson's Bay Company's log fort giving visitors a glimpse into life in a trading post in the 1840s. West Edmonton Mall is the largest in North America, with 800+ stores, 100 dining venues, a massive indoor wave pool with 17 water slides and a lake, plus amusement park, zoo, and ice skating rink! For those looking for nature, head to Elk Island National Park: Canada's largest fully enclosed park is a refuge for moose, elk, lynx, black bears, gray wolves, 250 species of birds, and herds of plains bison imported from Montana and rescued from extinction.
