Fort Edmonton Park
Canada's largest living history museum, recreating a fur-trade fort and streets from the 1885, 1905 and 1920s eras.
Fort Edmonton Park lies in the southwest of the river valley. Its areas are arranged along a timeline: a Hudson's Bay Company fur-trade fort, a street from 1885, a street from 1905 and a mid-town street from the 1920s. There is a steam train, old-fashioned streetcars, a retro amusement park and actors in period costume. In 2020, an Indigenous experience area was added, telling the story of Indigenous peoples and the fur trade. The park is open in summer. Entry costs around CAD 30 or so. Allow half a day to a full day. You can drive or take the bus. In winter, only festive events are held.
Opening hours
Approx. mid-May–early Sep, 10:00–17:00
