There is much to see here in buildings that were brought here from the City of Edmonton; but there is also much to experience: there are wagon rides pulled by horses; there is a steam locomotive train ride around the area.

What fun we all had at this mini-golf course here at Fort Edmonton Park. It had a sand trap - first time I've seen that! Everyone in our group had a blast and then we enjoyed an ice cream just around the corner. Good to spend a day as there is tons of things to see. Definitely a must see... More

Be prepared for a full day of walking and funtimes. The replica fort is great and be sure to try some bannock from the natives cooking just outside the fort. The different era streets are a look back at a mre simpler time. And you just can't beat the train ride.

I've loved Fort edmonton since I was a kid. It's a great spot to learn about the history of the city and the province. I love the set up, and how the park progresses showing different streets as they would have been leading from the Fur Trade fort, through to the late 19th and early 20th century. The level of...

With building brought from around Edmonton and placed to showcase their past glory, an environment emulating the 'as it was' lifestyle, and excellent amateur actors filling the roles of the settlers, this place bring the...

Really enjoyed the Sunday brunch. The food was good and there was a variety of foods to choose from. The horse and wagon ride was a lot of fun also. Will be going back and bringing my parents. They loved it!

We spent the day with my grandparents (in their 80's), my dad and our children (1 & 4). We ALL enjoyed it so much! Its fun to just wander around and peek inside all of the buildings! We really enjoyed the new theatre that they have! What an impressive show...its education based, but the special effects were suprising!! Definitely don't... More
