 West Edmonton Mall
Welcome to the world’s largest shopping center, and Alberta’s most popular tourist attraction. With 22 million yearly visitors, over 800 stores and services, and more than 100 eating establishments, this mall truly is the greatest indoor show on earth. Whether you’re looking to shop, skate, swim, eat, read, watch, laugh, sleep, play, or ride, you’ll find what you’re looking for, and so much more, in West Edmonton Mall.
 9 major attractions are housed within the mall, which has 58 entrances, 20,000 parking spaces, 3 mini-golf courses, and 21 movie theatres all within a 493,000 square meter floor space - that's 104 Canadian football fields, or 115 American football fields! The mall has earned seven listings in the Guinness Book of Records including: the World’s Largest Indoor Amusement Park, Car Park, Indoor Wavepool, Indoor Lake, Indoor Triple Loop Rollercoaster, and the World's Tallest Indoor Permanent Bungee Tower.
 And, that’s not all! Watch the Edmonton Oilers practice on the NHL-sized ice arena. Get a taste of New Orleans and dance away the night on Bourbon Street, shop in a bustling Far East market in Chinatown, or sip a cappuccino on Europa Boulevard and watch the world stroll by. Take your pooch to daycare and go bowling in Ed’s Rec Room, or catch a Sea Lion show and visit an African Penguin colony. Hop on a kayak, do some scuba diving, or test your mettle on the Blue Thunder Bungee Jump or the King Swing Zip Line.
Even Better….
The quality and range of attractions, events and exclusive stores available are what bring West Edmonton Mall into the ranks of the truly great.
Consider the retail outlets and restaurants located exclusively at the Mall - you won't find them anywhere else in Edmonton: Sephora (first in Western Canada), Marciano (first in Alberta), Miss Sixty (first in Western Canada), H & M (first in western Canada), Town Shoes, Make Up Store (first in Canada), L’Occitane (first in Edmonton), Mandarina Duck (first in North America) and MR MIKES Steakhouse and Bar…this is just a partial list with many more to come
