Behind the Kinsmen Sport Centre, on the south bank of the river valley (Public: par 54, 1222 yards) This is a true pitch-and-putt, with the holes averaging about 65 yards, and none over 100 yards. You can enjoy a pleasant two-hour walk with two or three clubs in your bag. Greens fees are low, club rentals are available, and the course is friendly for families looking for a spot to golf with the kids.

Metro Cinema
A one-screen cinema dating from 1940 run by a non-profit society devoted to film. Few blockbusters here: expect to see what's locally produced, the unusual, the subtitled, the rarely screened, and the occasional favourite from way back. The infamous The Room (2003) film is screened the first Friday of each month. Butter on the popcorn is real (and free!), and the cinema is fully licensed.
Historic house museum, once belonging to the first premier of Alberta, located on the University of Alberta main campus.
A large collection of rocks, minerals and meteorites from Alberta and across North America. Has educational exhibits about oil and diamond discovery and extraction in Canada.
Fossils of dinosaurs, animals, their tracks, eggs and plants.
The U of A campus is eclectic to say the least. The historic "three sisters" facing the main quadrangle and the Old Arts building are the oldest buildings and most popular for photoshoots. Gaze at other buildings that are functional but austere.
