KDays is an annual 10 day summer fare and exhibit taking place in Edmonton every summer - traditionally in late July. During this time, exhibits take place at the Edmonton Expo Centre, and show a variety of subjects: arts and crafts, foods (horticulture, baked goods, flowers and plants), vendors from Edmonton and area. The event is also an amusement park with a variety of roller coasters, game kiosks and food vendors from Edmonton and region. The event brings many thousands of visitors every year. Despite the large crowd, the ambiance of the event is great !! The event is great to enjoy the outdoors during the summer as well as foods, but is also a great occasion to see local talents and companies from the region. read more

Amazing chill concerts. Carnival foods. Carnival rides. Free Tim hortons drinks. Kdays used to be lame. But I think it's revamped itself with a new shell post covid. The concert lineup is alot better for 2023 and the layout is fabulous. You basically can see the stage from anywhere on the south grounds! Also it's been so easy getting to front row bc edmontonians are so chill and just want to drink and dance. Nobody shoving or pushing to get to the front. I've never had so much elbow space! I've been to outdoor concerts in vancouver, Montreal, Quebec city, Calgary and nothing is more chill than kdays in edmonton. There was even some hard-core guitar music with a famous band and nobody really moshed... they just cheered and danced. It was lovely!!! Very kid friendly and family oriented. It's safe for kids to go to the front row!!! I'm so impressed with kdays. So far the 2023 lineup has been phenomenal. Elijah wood, talk, Sarah and tiegan, three days grace, all 4 one, Color me badd and always abba. Like everyday has been a blast and I think I might have to spend the summer at kdays from now on! Bonus...the vip premier party is the only way to get true front row standing space for concerts. And usually they performers come down to the stage, do meet and greets or give gifts to the crowds. If ure a fan of the band playing that night...I'd say it's worth every penny! The premiere area has super clean Porta potties and a nice bar with no lineups. There's also a large seating area for those who don't want to stand. I've tried all the Carnival foods and I love the classics: the original Mini donuts, the pepperoni grilled cheese with freshly cut potatoe fries, spiral spuds with nacho cheese, pinapple whip ice cream, and the halo halo iced dessert to wash all of that down. I'm not a fan of the gimmick foods. Every year I'm pretty disappointed in them so I don't bother anymore. Usually they are too over priced too! My faves that are new this year: the giant deep fried Squid, the Bannock burger and the Arizona fry bread! All of it is delicious! No thank you to the pickle corn dog, the ketchup or mustard ice cream or even the pickled lemonade. Leave the condiments as condiments. Ick. Although it's hilarious watching people try it and see their faces after they wasted so much money. Haha Also don't miss out on the ferris wheel at night foe amazing views of the entire grounds and dt edmonton!!! read more

Loved the ambiance at night. It was crowded but everyone made it work. There were fireworks every night at 10:45pm. Loved that Mariana's Trench played a concert that was complimentary with admission. Lines to rides were long (45min+) Review of the food. Favourite to least favourite: 1. Mini donuts (in pink bucket) 2. Curly's Deep Fried Cheese Curds 3. Pierogies with Sweet Chilli Thai sauce and green onions read more

Kdays - Amusement Parks Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Very surprised that no seating provided for concerts at main stage (even on seniors day...). This is new as past years had at least some seating provided. We ended up sitting in the park near the train to listen (but had to contend with train and generator noise so this hampered experience). Organizers please rethink seating for next year! read more

Get charge twice and they don't refund money everything it's expensive. Staff knew that refund won't work but made me walk all the way to other end at the guest service. read more

gone downhill faster than a car over a cliff, more expensive rides are super short yet ticket prices have increased by almost double over the last 3 years. Food sucked also read more

We attended KDays 3 or 4 times and enjoyed it very much. Some of our favourite activities were watching the dog show, riding on the train in the park, seeing a concert or show and exploring the military exhibit! read more

Way too many people for such a small area. Hour plus lines for rides and 30-minute lines for food or drinks. Only having 2 entrances makes for lots of walking to get into the grounds which is not good for people with any issues with that as you tend to lot of walking in/on the grounds. Tickets should be limited to amount of people per day as it was not safe as it was shoulder to shoulder people drinking openly while smoking cigarettes and marijuana wherever they wanted. Spilling their drinks falling over strollers and wagons burning people with their cigarettes. Not family or accessibility friendly by any means! Just another place for the young drunks to go hang out ! read more

Wayyy too much for parking, too many people no one manages shit here, it used to be so good before but I swear it's so ass now. Overly crowded and no proper walking spaces. read more

Wow, this place has gone downhill fast! In a matter of a few years, it has pretty much become a total waste of time. It's hard to write this review because there was absolutely nothing memorable about the entire experience. Even the tradeshow/expo area was very badly done with half of the vendor booths empty. The food booths were serving undercooked and disgusting food at triple the cost it was the year before. What are these people thinking? It was insulting and I won't return. Not even if it's free. read more

Kdays - Amusement Parks Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Gotta love our local exhibition. I have volunteered here at the most popular ride and the only ride that is for charity: the Kiwanis Giant Slide. But every year, I also like to go check out the new food items, wander the trade show, and people watch as well. Sometimes there are some fun attractions and as a kid I loved doing ALL the rides! As an adult I've enjoyed the fireworks, the concerts, and all the other attractions. read more

It's fantastic for Edmonton to have just not totally my scene! I find for a family day out it must be very expensive. I went with couple of friends the line ups were crazy for every decent ride no way will is line up for hours for a ride. I seen a family with a few kids and offered them my ride tickets save them going to wastes. We went to the beer tent had some beers and listened to good live music so we did have fun. Overall I'm thankful that Edmonton has this to offer but I think it could be done better more rides less expensive and maybe a cap of how many people can go in at once. read more

I went to K--Days on opening day friday and have to say this yr i'm disappointed . I don't go for the rides and games but for the food and the exhibition/shopping halls. Entrance fee is $18 for seniors which is ridiculous. At the gate they have guys with metal detectors going thru bags and making people open them as if they were terrorists . Disappointing. Was reading some facebook complaints about them making people pour out water containers at the entrance gate as i guess they only want you to drink what you buy in there. The food was what i expected with me eating a couple of footlong corndogs,some nice velvet mini-doughnuts ,a couple decent coffees and a chicken on a stick.Each food item was about $8 or $9. The shopping experience halls had less booths than last yr . and were less interesting as far as the goods go. Big areas were taken up by hot tub manufacturers. They had a couple halls full of farm animals for petting or for competition which was decent. They have a goat yoga area where you do yoga with a goat on your back which seems pretty twisted but there was nobody in there doing it when i went by. They also had an aboriginal item hall . I wouldn't mind going back again to try a few more food items but the entrance fee is prohibitive. read more

I headed out to K Days with the family on the final Sunday. There's plenty on offer in terms of rides, although not as much for a 2 year old as I'd have liked. There's a huge selection of carnival food on offer, all things from trad Fayre like corn dogs, cotton candy, hot dogs etc through to noodles and poutine. I think this would be best enjoyed if you were a teenager, or a family with older children. My one gripe was the price, it was $17 to enter and then you burn through ride tickets at a fairly sharp clip. On top of that the going rate for water is $4 a bottle which seems excessive. read more

Haven't been to the Exhibition in a few years. Grew up here with Klindike Days...survived through the "Capital-X experiment", and now welcome back K-days. First things first...$20 for paking. Good grief. As a family of 4, with our 5 year old being free admission...it's still not a cheap endeavor. We were "lucky" enough to aquire free admission passes with our Ticketmaster purchase of Tragically Hip tickets, so that saved us ~$50 for the remaining 3 admissions. We got three, "Ride all day" passes at $50 each. Total for the admission and pass would be $66 without any freebies. So it adds up fast. If one wants to paetake in their "front of the line" option...tack another $22 per person in. This will give you the "privilege" of using a secondary line for each ride, from which the attendant allows "X" amount of people (it states on the sign for each ride how many) to enter before the "commoners" line is opened up. We went in a Monday right at noon when the gates opened and it still didn't take long for the lines to get pretty long. Still...at a dollar at ticket...and each ride requiring 5 or 6 tickets...the "Ride all Day" was "economical". The rides are pretty amazing. A good mix for people of all levels of adventurous. The layout was good and the way it was organized to separate the bigger folks from the littlest folks was pretty Handy. The South end is pretty much a "no go" for anyone under 48". There are exceptions...but not many and not unaccompanied. The North end...all for the little tykes. We didn't make it into the Agricom for all the sites abd sounds in there and we spent 6 hours on the midway. The costs can spiral after admission and rides are ling paid for. $4 bottles of water. $12 food items(or more) But damn...what an increadible cornucopia of treats. Everywhere you turn is a booth with something different. And then...there are the games. 10 cent toys hauked by carnies (some of whom are very pleasant and accommodating...others of which are maddening and downright rude) at "$5 for 2 throws"...or more. But hey...it's almost the oldest profession... One thing to note is that ryou can pool your prizes from multiple games (in some cases) and trade up to larger goodies. All in all...it comes once a year. I could continue my rant...but shant. Is it worth it... You really must br your own judge. Every family us different. And kids of all ages will find simething here. ... Axe throwing. $5 for 7 throws. I found... Axe throwing. read more
