Discover Edmonton® - Edmonton is the capital city of Alberta
and is well known for its scenic river valley and a thriving music and art community.
Located 294 km (183 mi) north of Calgary,

Edmonton Mall also has a giant water park, a man-made lake, a skating rink,
two mini-golf courses, 21 movie theatres, a Vegas-style casino and an amusement

of Alberta. The
Muttart Conservatory, an expansive horticultural spectacle, is noted for its
unique architecture, as is the remarkable Alberta
Legislature Building. Fort
Edmonton Park is a large living history museum that recognizes Edmonton's
