Have you started planning your summer adventures? You’re going to want to add the West Edmonton Mall to your travel plans once you hear about everything this 5.3 million square foot mall has to offer! Where else can you find a waterpark, amusement park, marine life, mini golf, a movie theatre, shopping, restaurants, and more all under one roof? Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll find in the West Edmonton Mall.
West Edmonton Mall World Waterpark:
There are so many cool things to experience in the World Waterpark! I’ve dedicated an entire post to the World Waterpark to talk about the waterslides, multi-level play structure, wave pool and more!
Galaxyland:
The world’s largest indoor amusement park has rides & games for all ages! I’ve dedicated an entire post to Galaxyland to give you a sneak peek at some of the rides you’ll find there.
Fantasyland Hotel:
With so much to see and do in the mall, you’re going to want to stay close to the action! The Fantasyland Hotel is right in the mall and they have a wide variety of fun themed rooms like an Igloo room, Truck room, Space room, Western Room, Sports Room and so many others. You can read about the Igloo room here and some the Luxury Themed Rooms here.
Professor WEM’s Adventure Golf:
This is a fun 18-hole mini golf course that the entire family will love. My son (5 years old) kept carrying the ball about an inch from the hole for his first shot. He may need a few golf lessons. {wink} He had a lot of fun with it though and we’d try it again.
Santa Maria:
The Santa Maria is an exact replica of Christopher Columbus’ flagship for his first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. For a small fee, you can board the ship to look around. It’s also available to rent for private events.
Mayfield Toyota Ice Palace:
The National Hockey League-sized ice rink is perfect for an afternoon of family fun! You could skate with your family or watch the figure skaters or hockey players on the ice. Yes, this rink is right inside the mall!
Sea Life Caverns:
You’ll find marine life underground in the Sea Life Caverns. They have penguins, fish, sharks, sea turtles, reptiles and more in the aquarium. Above ground you’ll also find the Sea Lion’s Rock show with a couple of daily sea lion performances. For the show, you’ll want to arrive about 15 minutes prior to showtime to get a seat.
Food:
With all the excitement in the mall, you’re sure to work up quite the appetite! There are plenty of restaurants inside the mall to choose from with fast food, sit down restaurants, delicious cupcake kiosks and everything in between! The hardest part will be deciding which one to try first!
This is just a small sample of some of the special attractions & restaurants that you’ll find inside the mall. The mall has over 800 stores, services and special attractions so you’ll need more than a single weekend to check it all out. You can view a full listing of the attractions, stores, and restaurants on the West Edmonton Mall website.
