West Edmonton Mall

First things first. Obviously a big tourist draw is West Edmonton Mall. We are located about a 20-25 minute drive from the mall and we also have access to some quick express buses just steps from our hotel for $3.20 per person per trip. Once you hit the mall there are a great many things that you can do, including:

• Shop!
• Visit Galaxyland, the mall's amusement park
• Go ice skating
• Play some mini putt
• See a movie
• Check out the skateboarding park inside West 49
• See a Sea Lion show 
• Visit the many animals in the Marine Life area
• Check out the World Waterpark for great slides, waves and more

As you can see there is tons of fun to be add at the mall so you may want to make this a full day event.

River Valley

Edmonton's River Valley is a group of 22 parks including 150 kilometers worth of trails. There are a great deal of park access areas not far from our hotel that we can guide you in the direction of should you wish to get out and enjoy the scenic trails.
