What Is There To Do At West Edmonton Mall?
Edmonton can be a (not so) quick daytrip from Calgary, if you really want it to be. More than likely, you’ll end up staying a night or more. Edmonton is a popular landing spot for concerts that skip Calgary because of the configuration of the Saddledome. Paul McCartney, for example, recently did 2 nights in the smaller city to the north, passing over Calgary. So whether you’re coming to Edmonton for a concert, or other event, why not make a couple nights of it and spend some time in Alberta’s capital.
Of course West Edmonton Mall has shopping. With more than 800 stores on 2 levels, covering about 1.5 km from end-to-end, WEM attracts between 60k and 150k people a day. This joint has them all covered when it comes to consumer cravings, but it’s more than just shopping. West Edmonton Mall, like a true Las Vegas casino, has all the sideshows that will have you spending a day, or two, or three inside the mall and thoroughly entertained.
