7 Things to do for Honeymoon in Edmonton That You Shouldn't Miss
As North America’s northernmost large metropolis, Edmonton is a fascinating study in contrasts — a vibrant urban center in the heart of the wilderness. It’s a city that’s never been afraid to do things a little differently, as visitors discover through close encounters with free-roaming bison, a shopping mall that spans more than 48 city blocks, and a dynamic arts and culture scene that embraces more than 40 annual festivals, including the continent’s biggest and wildest Fringe Theatre Festival.

Home to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and the Davis pipe organ. This ecoustically wonderful hall hosts many concerts and performances. Intimate setting where no seat is a poor seat. Worth visiting even if you are unable to take in a performance.

Open May Long weekend to October each year, the streetcar's views of the city and the river are absolutely amazing. This is also the best way to get from the farmer's market to downtown.

We have ridden this street car 3 times. Each time it was a fun event. Saw the beautiful colors in the river valley in the fall. Did a private function when we also did a ride in the early evening. Saw the city lights in early evening. We took out of town visitors for an afternoon ride. Lots of fun. Knowledgeable conductor as well.

Whyte Avenue (also known as 82 Avenue) is an arterial road in south-central Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It became the main street of the City of Strathcona as it formed, and now runs through Old Strathcona. It was named in 1891 after Sir William Whyte, who was superintendent of the CPR's western division from 1886 to 1897 and was knighted by King George V in 1911. Old Strathcona is Edmonton's main arts and entertainment district, and is also a shopping hub for local residents and students at the nearby University of Alberta. Whyte Avenue, now a heritage area, is at the heart of this district, housing many shops, cafes, restaurants and bars.

It’s always fun to stroll down the avenue and some of the off-shooting alleys and nearby streets to investigate unique shops, enjoy unique beverages/coffee, food/treats. There’s something for everyone. My tween and teen really enjoy the ave...but I enjoy it most with my BFF. :-)

The meal was quite good, but the show was excellent! The Pitch Perfect Golden Girls cast are all perfectly suited to their roles. Lots of vocal talent, and some perfectly timed comedy juxtaposed with some incredible acrobatics made for some good laughs and great entertainment!
