We booked the "Best of the Big E Edmonton Tour" today -it cost us $26.25 Canadian Dollars for a ninety minute narrated tour. We were picked up and dropped off in Churchill Square by the transit stop and Tix on the Square. We learned about Edmonton's history, culture, demographics, and even politics as we rolled by so many attractions and points of interest. Our bus was comfortable and the sound system was great. Our host Greg was a very cool laid back sort who made the trip very enjoyable. He stopped the bus a few times so we could take photos of the spectacular scenery. Some of the things we saw included City Hall, the Winspear Cocert Hall, Edmonton Sport Hall of Fame, Citadel Theatre, Whyte Ave Entertainment/Shopping District, Old Strathcona Farmer's Market, Garneau Theatre, Hawrelak Park, University of Alberta, Fort Edmonton, the huge West Edmonton Mall, the posh Glenora neighborhood, the Neon Museum, and the 124 St Gallery and Shopping District. Oh, and at the end of the tour, you get a free cookie ! It was a terrific way to learn about the area and see some very nice sights. read more
