The Edmonton area is one of the most fabulous places in Canada for shopping, at least in terms of size. The world’s largest shopping mall is located here and shoppers can spend hours and even days happily wandering past the brightly lighted and attractive store displays.
West Edmonton Mall contains over 800 shops and 100 eating places and 9 world class entertainment activities. It is the number one tourist attraction in Alberta and covers the equivalent of 48 city blocks on the west side of Edmonton. There are so many things to see and do at the West Edmonton Mall that some people never bother shopping there, they just go for the entertainment features.
Galaxyland, associated with the mall since 1985 is the world’s largest indoor amusement park. There are 26 full-sized rides for thrill seekers of all ages, including the Galaxy Orbiter and singular roller coaster ride that never repeats. Teens are invited to Rock ‘N Ride Dance parties each school year at the Mall where from 8 to midnight, teens can get unlimited rides, watch two giant video screens and have all the danceable music anyone could ask for.
