Great for a nice time out with the family and experience new knowledge about airplanes. They are great for learning about aviation history and include pistols, uniforms and planes dating back to the 1920s.
The collection of railway equipment and buildings contains locomotives from the Canadian National Railways (CNR) and Northern Alberta Railways (NAR). Trains operate only on holiday weekends in summer.
Once a separate town, Beverly was amalgamated into Edmonton in the 1940s. It was a beautiful, quiet mining town. Today it isn't the place to shop, but some quaint shops may pop by as you drive/walk by. Most stores are streetfront making it very inviting to pedestrians. It is also nice to admire what history is left of it.
Maple Leaf Park
A series of small parks connected by trails run through the neighbourhood, the largest is the Central Park, which has a man-made hill, the highest spot on the north side of Edmonton, perfect for seeing the downtown skyline.
Century Casino & Hotel
Clean theatre that can get quite busy at times. The pictures is pretty good and the food served is pretty yummy. The place is full of the hottest, latest shows. For detailed showings, see the Edmonton Movie Guide.
Public course: 3018 yards, par 54. A city-owned course, this executive par-three gives a surprisingly good workout. Holes range from around 100 to over 200 yards, greens are fairly small, and your shot-making ability is fairly tested. By the nature of the course, it is busy (although you can walk on almost any time): there will be waiting time on weekends, and the course is not kept to the same level of repair the other city courses are. Nevertheless, it's a great way to warm up in the spring, and a good introduction to golf if you're entertaining non-golfers.
This is a cafeteria-style restaurant, where you order at the cash register and find a table to eat the results. Try the elegant-looking chirashi, which offers a variety of the freshest fish in the city. The homemade sesame sauce used on some of the rice dishes is so popular, they now sell it by the bottle. Close to a military base, Mt. Fuji attracts many uniformed patrons at lunch. Try arriving early or after 1PM, or call ahead for take-out.
Mundare Sausage House
Authentic Ukrainian restaurant and deli with imported European goods, serving Stawnchy's Mundare Sausage, a locally well-known sausage company from neighboring Mundare, Alberta.
Sahara Palace
Large portions of Lebanese comfort foods, shisha (hooka) available, occasionally loud with local birthday parties. This is the hub of Edmonton's Little Arabia.
Sunbake Pita Bakery, Cedar Sweets, Almasa Hookah & Accessories, Sara Folard & Gifts Ltd., Mona's Pizza, Cakes By Ludy, Rosslyn Halal Meats and Grocery
The best place in Edmonton to find baklava, "donair" (kebab), and other Mediterranean snacks.
This liquor store has one of the largest selections of single-malt Scotch in Edmonton. (In fact, it was the site of Canada's only whisky kidnapping - in 1999, a fabulously rare bottle of 1955 Bowmore malt was stolen and offered back for ransom!) The selection is good and the prices are better than many places in the city. The liquor store is now known not just for its Scotches but also for its wide selection of other hard liquors, many of them premium brands ranking well above the regular bar brands in quality and price: it's one of the few stores in town with a choice in absinthes, as well as high-end tequilas, rums, and non-Scotch whiskeys. The wine selection is limited, and while there's a good variety of premium beers, any true beer aficionado would head a few blocks west to the Sherbrooke Liquor Store.
This liquor store is dominated by a massive cooler of beers that runs the gamut from humble macro lager to ultra-premium exotics, and a respectable selection of wines and spirits to round it off. Widely regarded as the city's largest selection of beer.
Easy access to Kingsway Mall, NAIT, and LRT.
Get a suite looking south.
Clean hotel near LRT (Clareview) and major road connections. Major big box retail stores are also at your footsteps if you stay here.
Prospectors Gaming Room
Clean, small hotel near the major arterial of 137th Avenue and is using a clean, modern building. Pretty typical suites.
formerly Kingsway Garden Mall
The second largest mall in the city of Edmonton. It has many large American retailers like McDonald's and DisneyStore. It is being expanded. The mall is in an older neighborhood, despite it being modern. There is also a lot of parking for free, and there are good transit options.
This mall is up to date and is full of many typical retailers and gives shoppers a quiet experience. Nice for a quiet Saturday morning stroll or a Sunday walk.
A power centre that includes a big movie theatre, some restaurants, and typical big box outlets.
Suburban, open-air, powercentre.

Just modern, typical suburban big box shopping. Great if you're in the neighbourhood, homesick for your normal, uniform stores of back home or you just love those stores.
Small shopping mall located across from North Town Centre. Contains more than 70 stores and services including Marshalls, Safeway, and Walmart.
Across from Northgate Centre. Former indoor mall redeveloped into an open-air strip mall, includes Edmonton's second T&T (Asian) Supermarket.
Suburban, open-air, powercentre.
