Things To Do in Edmonton

Edmonton, also known as E-town or the Big E, is one of two major cities in Alberta and is located right between the Canadian Rocky Mountains and the prairies. It is also known as the City of Champions due to the efforts of its citizens to help the city recover from a tornado in 1987. Some also call it The Chuck from having a fairly large base of Ukrainian population.

Edmonton is home to some professional sports teams including the Edmonton Oilers of the NHL, and the Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL, so if you love spectator sports you will love Edmonton. But there are many other things to do in Edmonton if you enjoy hands-on activities or visiting historic places, so if you're in the neighborhood, here's a few of the top attractions in Edmonton you can see.

One of the best Edmonton excursions to take is one to the Fringe Theatre Adventures, a local theatrical arts festival full of shows created by some of the finest artists from just about any kind of artistic venue. Many of these shows will engage the audience and even give them opportunities to participate in the shows, so if you are looking for a thrill, this is a must-see place on the map.

Other Edmonton tourist hot spots include the Telus World of Science, an interactive science exhibition, and Jurassic Forest, a virtual dinosaur park where you will get to see the prehistoric creatures in action. These Edmonton activities provide both a learning experience and complete fun for everyone, so plan on stopping by for a breath-taking experience when you visit.
