West Edmonton Mall

West Edmonton Mall is the largest shopping and entertainment complex in North America, spanning over 5.3 million square feet and originally opened in 1981. With more than 800 stores, an indoor amusement park, a water park, and a miniature golf course, the mall serves as a city in itself, drawing visitors from across the continent. Plan for a full day or more if you want to experience the variety of attractions fully. Weekdays are less crowded, allowing for a more leisurely visit, while weekends tend to fill up with families. Don’t miss the impressive indoor lake with its paddleboats, a unique feature within this sprawling space.
