What to do and see in Edmonton, Canada: The Best Shopping
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.

Of course, you go to Zocalo for the bright ceramics, the wooden wonders, the greenhouse seating, but it’s their lattes that will lift your heart and put a spring in your step.

We spent about an hour and a half here, and we almost had enough samples to call it lunch. From pasta to caramels to whiskey to tzatziki (best tzatziki ever), it seemed like over half the places were handing out their nibbles for everyone to try. We also enjoyed shopping for some reasonably priced jewelry and some fresh produce. The place was bustling, but everyone is so nice that it's pretty easy to maneuver with a little patience.
7. Muttart Conservatory
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 783 reviews
The Muttart Conservatory is unique at first sight. This innovative botanical garden sets the pace for plant science in western Canada and defines Edmonton’s skyline with striking glass pyramids rising from the river valley.
Reviewed By GallantJ - Alberta, Canada
We visited the Muttart Conservatory in April 2015 with children ages 8, 5 and 5, along with Grandparents. It was absolutely beautiful and I recommend visiting if you get a chance, especially in the winter when it feels warm and tropical during an otherwise cold day outside. During our visit, the Corpse Flower had just started to bloom (it only blooms about every 2 years). It was only the second time it had ever bloomed at Muttart so we felt fortunate to see it. Once it opens fully it only lasts a few days, so the timing was great. It stunk like a dead corpse, which added to excitement of the visit, especially for the kids, and my mom who is a flower enthusiast. Overall, a great visit. It's a beautiful venue with an amazing collection of plants and flowers.
