Fun ’n’ Greens

Edmonton is a place where world-class attractions let you feel the pulse of the city. From museums to theatres, gardens to galleries and roller coasters to waterslides — not to mention all-day shopping excursions and big-league sporting events — the heart of the city keeps a lively beat.

Discover Edmonton’s history, be awed by the wonders of science, shop ‘til you drop or experience Alberta’s natural beauty via the likes of the Royal Alberta Museum, TELUS World of Science™ – Edmonton, historic Fort Edmonton Park, world-famous West Edmonton Mall or the city’s extensive network of river valley parks and trails — perfect for jogging, biking or cross-country skiing.

Edmonton’s North Saskatchewan River Valley — about 21 times the size of New York City’s Central Park — is the largest stretch of urban parkland in North America, ideal for cycling, jogging, hiking, picnics or just hanging out with your favourite pet at one of our off-leash areas.

Golfers will enjoy fresh air and pleasurable putting on any of the 86 courses in the Greater Edmonton Area, many of which offer 18-hole championship-class facilities. Got big ambitions on the green? Edmonton golf courses can accommodate groups from an intimate foursome to a full 144-player tournament.

For the more adventurous, short little jaunts just outside the city lead to equally interesting attractions such as the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village, Devonian Botanic Garden, Reynolds-Alberta Museum (transportation, aviation, agriculture and industry) and the Father Lacombe Chapel.
