So many talking points, great photo ops and cool backgrounds. This was a great way to spend an hour or so looking at the detail in each space.

I think it's only here till the end of October so check it out before it goes. Can't wait to see what these creative masterminds come up with next year!

This is a great way to spend an afternoon and see so much amazing talent that our city has to offer!

I have a annual pass to this place to watch movies and enter exhibits. It's totally worthwhile because If you go during the weekdays you almost have the place to yourself or just before closing too. I like the space exhibit which actually has a peice of the moon on display. But there are tons of interactive games and puzzles that most adults play too (some are still challenging for me for the first time). There is a cool body exhibits to explore which is cool if it's your first time there to see how your body works and how healthy you are. There's also a giant play are in 2 parts of the center. One one main floor and second floor. So the kids have plenty of place sto burn off their excess energy. I could stare at the ball thing thatis ancient for hours bc that's what I used to do as child mesmerized by the journey that little ball takes. I would highly recommend watching the imax movies here because usually the only last 2 rows are sold out so there's alot of space in between people. Staff are friendly and there's alot of areas to just eat if you pack your own lunch. Annual members get a 10% discount which is really nice too! I personally think the roving exhibits are a perfect date night since there's alot to do or talk about. And situated in west downtown there's alot of good places to eat nearby. I think edmontons telus center is better than the over busy and crowded ones in vancouver or calgary. With alot more to do. I think edmontonians take this place for granted.

Now, I am not an expert on art by any means but I do enjoy it. This store is wall to wall pictures, paintings and sculptures by famous artists like Thomas Kinkade and Robert Brateman. They have amazing pieces that are just visually pleasing but can also be appreciated at a deeper context. The store is very expensive and regularly holds sales. This is the kind of art that people who can truly appreciate it will lay down big bucks for. I wouldn't mind a piece or 2 in my house either. Even if you know that you aren't going to buy anything from this store it is definitely worth going in and looking around. Looking at the different pieces of art is really worth it. I would recommend this store to everyone.

We had our wedding ceremony at the Greystone Gardens Bed and Breakfast and it was INCREDIBLE!!! It was the most beautiful ceremony we, as well as our guests, have ever seen! Zane and Linda take unbelievable care of their property and are more than accomodating. We had looked at the Devonian Botanical Gardens, which are about five minutes away, and this place BLEW THEM OUT OF THE WATER!! For a third of the price and the freedom to customize your ceremony, this was well worth it!! The beautiful gardens, mixed with the hospitality has already made me recommend it to all my friends getting married. It is a beautiful Garden but for a wedding ceremony, I would recommend opting out.

Plus this visit we saw a couple birds nearby too. This first area is full of the assortment of Knick knacks that can keep you enthralled for days looking at! Gift ideas for all the people in your life and yourself. Then mosey on back into the greenhouse areas where you can find tools, dirt, fertilizer, garden pond chemicals and building supplies. Plus plant pots that will make you want to create the oasis of your dreams. The plants! Can I even skim the surface of the variety and fullness of the plant selection they have. I personally adore looking at the succulents and cacti, but I got kids so... haha I love the beautiful flowers and plant pot stuffers. So many ideas and inspiration. This visit I saw tons of hanging bags of flowers, so trendy! They also had wild and beautiful new flowers I've never heard or seen before. We also saw some of my favourite greens- food! The huge array of pepper plants and tomatoes were just starting to arrive and I loved it all. Then when you head finally to towards the till you go past canned good delights and fresh produce. Plus did I mention you can find a huge array of chicken decor? (Maybe that's just my thing lol) This visit I treated myself to a Japanese Air purifying plant called a Crispy Wave! Top it off with kind staff, they noticed my little one and didn't hesitate to pick a marigold flower for them to take home.

Lots of wonderful purchases from this local greenhouse over the years. How I haven't posted a…read morereview yet, I'm not sure. Every time I've shopped here for myself or with others, I leave feeling like I've found more than what I thought I needed (great for any gardener to feel that happiness and this was certainly true on my most recent visit). If you're looking for seeds, plants, ready to eat veggies & fruit, various garden maintenance items, home & garden accessories or decor items, this is a great place to shop. If you're on a time or budget limit, you might need to go in with someone else to help you focus and cover more ground. There's always a lot to look at and if you go often enough, there's even a stamp card to fill up (I won't go into the details, as another yelper explained that really well already). The last visit I'm recalling (in Aug 2021), I noticed they had a decent discount on remaining vegetables, herbs and flowers for your garden. To a point it distracted me from my original mission of buying veggies for my upcoming meals. Well only a little... as I bought some lovely mature herbs of basil, stevia and chives to add to my patio garden. I stocked up on the veggies I went there for but made a note to myself about the cases of BC fruit. I'm writing this review now as I forgot it in drafts and found it again when sharing this location with relatives and friends. Most recently my Aunt picked up potatoes from there (Oct 2021), so the food area is still available as well as all the neat extra things closer to the tills. Parking lot is large enough one wouldn't struggle to find a spot, it's flat and it's paved. The entrance/exit is both flat, making it welcoming for all levels of mobility. The signs could be a bit more strategically placed so one actually goes into the right greenhouse area for plants, types of flowers, veggies & fruit (fruits & veggies were at the far end of the connecting greenhouses but in the past years the veggies & fruit were close to the exit & tills). I also passed a lot of staff in the greenhouse but no one asked me if I was finding what I was looking for, if needed help with anything I was looking at or if I knew that they were closing up soon. It wasn't until I reached the till I realized what time it was with all the staff gathered near the exit waiting for the greenhouse to close. That was an odd feeling but I appreciate the cashier & what I assume was the owner for still taking time to chat with me and make sure I knew about the punch card and had everything I needed. While exiting, I noticed a bunch of very happy greenhouse cats and one very lovely old greenhouse dog. Something about greenhouse that keep animals always makes me smile just a bit more.
