Parks
A wonderful place to go to a nature walk with the family! Nature abounds, the trails run what feels like forever, you can see the river near by and maybe even see some geese! Actually, I had a great moment here with my girls last spring when we found...
Hawrelak Park
Restaurants
Awesome place for a date night (maybe even a lunchbreak with friends)! Great vibe, awesome food, good prices and cool people are bound to be found at this location!
DaDeO
Not just a restaurant but a dining experience! This place is absolutely amazing to dine at! The food is not only delicious but the trick show they put on when making your food, at your table, is just the entertainement you need to complement your mea...
Japanese Village
Absolutely adore this place! This is our go-to for sandwiches when hungry in the afternoon. The staff is so friendly and the food is always fresh and delicious!

A one stop shop for just about anything you can dream of! Tourist attractions (amusement park, water park, go karting and mini-putt to name a few), restaurants, shops and more. You can literally spend days exploring this mall and if you do, you can s...
West Edmonton Mall

This art shop is not only a one-stop shop for any professional artist. It's also affordable and offers the most expansive array of art supplies I've been able to find in one place. The staff is also super friendly and knowledgeable.
Delta Art and Drafting Supplies
This art shop has a great array of supplies for just about any art form. What I love most, is that they carry many ‘craft activities’ and ‘educational craft & science kits’ for the younger ones to enjoy (often while learning too)!
DeSerres: Art Supplies, Creative Hobbies & Framing
A one stop shop for all you magical needs & wants! Whenever someone asks me where I got my "insert magical item here", the answer is almost always "Where faeries live"! They often laugh but then I reply, "No, really! Lol it's the name of the stor...
Where Faeries Live
This place is an absolute blast to visit! Although it's just a candy store, the vintage feel of this store will make you feel like it's an outing in itself! With candy from your childhood and those hard-to-find sweets, this place is a go-to for candy...
Rocket Fizz
Things to do
This mini-putt located in West Edmonton Mall is lit! Yes, that pun was intended... This place is seriously cool and fun for the young ones and older crowds alike. We had a blast navigating these 18 holes while having great discussions about all the m...
Dragon's Tale
This place is a blast for the entire family! With the first level being easier for the little ones and the top levels a little harder for the grown ups, there's something for everyone at this aerial park! I'm not sure if they still do this but they e...
Snow Valley Aerial Park
Outdoor playgrounds are great in the spring, summer and fall but when winter comes, the playgrounds aren't quite as appealing as they are during the warmer months. This is where indoor playgrounds come in... it's a great way to get the kids moving an...
U Play
About 45 minutes East of Edmonton this hidden treasure of a flea market is filled a vast array of vendors showcasing their treasures in sheds, buildings and Kwanzas. It's right on HWY 16 (aka TransCanada HWY) making a great stop when travelling from ...
Ross Creek Market | Facebook
Beautiful way to spend the day with family! We went with less than 3 hours to spare thinking we would have ample time to enjoy our time there. Honestly, we could've easily spent the entire day! If you go during the week there are less people allowing...
TELUS World of Science - Edmonton
My husband brought the girls here to spend the day with them for his birthday. I hear they had a blast! It's personally not my thing having pretty bad arthritis and often experiencing full body pain but they told me the place had couches to sit in to...
LaunchPad Trampoline Park
Get lost with your family and friends in this huge corn maze! An amazing place to spend the day throughout the fall season. What's cool about the maze is that no matter how much you get lost, you'll always find your way eventually. There's these litt...
Edmonton Corn Maze
Venues
This two floor venue is large and has a great floorplan. Not only is it great for concerts, I was recently invited to showcase my art at an event there recently. It really is a great location for artistic vendor events as well! Nice and spacious with...
Union Hall
Right at the heart of the hustle and bustle of Whyte Ave. This is an up and coming collaborative creative space for all types of artists. Once completed, the space will offer 3 diy studios and 1 full production studio, 1 podcast studio and 1 LED volu...
