Vacay.ca Recommends West Edmonton Mall
The fun doesn’t have to end at Fort Edmonton Park! While in the city, make sure that you pay a visit to the West Edmonton Mall. This is what Vacay.ca Writer Jody Robbins did, and she wrote about her adventures in a story entitled “How to conquer the West Edmonton Mall.”
Robbins: “With more than 30 million annual visitors, on any given day West Edmonton Mall has a population that would rank it as Alberta’s third-largest city. As winter and spring couldn’t agree whose turn it was, we decided to escape to Edmonton. Like any good mother, I’ve multi-tasked, combining a much-needed sanity break with introducing my daughter to the time-honoured tradition of conquering the mall.
“But West Ed (as the locals call it), is no ordinary mall. With more than 800 shops, an indoor water park,ice rink, amusement park and aquarium, it’s a destination in itself. Inspired by the traditional bazaars of ancient Persia, you’ll find myriad shopping, dining and entertaining options, seamlessly stitched together under one roof. Our challenge during this two-day escapade is to fit it all in.”
