West Edmonton Mall and Shopping on Whyte Avenue. For a blast from the past Fort Edmonton Park is a must!

Visit Amba and Taiga, the recently named Siberian tiger cubs, at the Valley Zoo in downtown Edmonton. Hotel guests should also make time to check out the birds, mammals and reptiles at the zoo and hang out on the "wild" side of life.

Cool summers and icy winters mean you should pack accordingly. Bring your long johns, sweater and scarf during the winter months. Summer days average 23 C (73 F), so expect comfortable days where you can enjoy our fabulous Alberta sunshine!
