The wife and I have an annual tradition to visit Deadmonton and are never disappointed - and the…read moresame goes this year. This year, it was held at the old Edmonton Sun building and exhibited some unique themes. They had a total of 3 tours plus photo area, food truck, fire pits, and drinks! I would highly recommend visiting this event because you can really see the amazing work and talent that goes into creating these tours each year. Edmonton does not always have a lot going on, but this is definitely one that tops the list. If you are really brave, they have a lights out event on the last weekend, where all they give you is a glow stick. That is quite the experience as well - if you dare!

It was my first time to Deadmonton, and it was great. It…read morestarts with the created post-apocalyptic village with affected villagers, fire pits and make shift trade stores - the village also offers drinks and donairs. Then comes the lineup for the Deadmonton main show, which features a variety of zombies and horror show sites with costumed actors and actresses jumping out of dark corners!!! I could swear that I was in real places and real infected people, it was very scary and realistic, but so well made!! To do again next Halloween!!! Hooooooooo

This is similar to Circus Circus in Las Vegas but this is twice as good if not better. The rides…read moreare so much fun and exciting. Quite the time and so much thrill. I'm terrified of roller coasters because of the metal hitting the rails and the g-forces but I wanted to have fun. And after visiting here I think I got over that and am looking forward to amusement parks. Tip: if you are staying at the Fantasyland hotel, you can buy passes for more than half the cost. It even includes access to attractions outside the amusement park including mini golf, maze, indoor beach, aquarium, ice rink and much more. We bought the 2-day pass and it paid for itself the first day

Oh gosh Galaxyland... back when it opened when I was a wee child it was Fantasyland but it had to…read morebe renamed and this name came complete with a space theme and Cosmo the mascot. Boy have I had some adventures here! From falling down an escalator as a tot to riding the Mindbender roller coaster back when that was still a thing, showing off the amusement park to university/college students visiting our city from elsewhere or playing laser tag with the band Green Day when they came to town for Edge Fest or most recently visiting to play DDR with my partner or bringing our toddler here to ride rides... Galaxyland is a thing. It can be a place of joy or a place of sorrows... it can certainly be an expensive visit or an inexpensive one depending on how you do it, but it can clearly be a lot of fun! When I was a kid I ADORED The children's play park area. My toddler loved the ball pit when we visited as a family. The rides are a mixed bag. Currently most are themed around Hasbro properties and some aren't really suitable for adults who are exceedingly tall though the height restrictions for children are clearly noted. I have a lot of fond memories here but note that it can be really noisy and crowded so plan accordingly. It is great that in a winter city like Edmonton indoor amusement areas like this one exist, clearly!

KDays is an annual 10 day summer fare and exhibit taking place in Edmonton every summer -…read moretraditionally 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.

Amazing chill concerts. Carnival foods. Carnival rides. Free Tim hortons drinks…read more 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!!!
