Edmonton is the capital city of the Canadian prairie province of Alberta. The total metro population of the Edmonton area is about 1.5 million people and growing quickly. Edmonton has the largest urban parkland in North America, the biggest mall in the country with excellent attractions, top universities, strong sports teams and tons of arts and culture. It is the northernmost major city in North America, and it is sometimes called the gateway to the north. If you haven't been here, consider visiting the city of champions!

Probably the best video on places to check out in Edmonton, gonna be a nice guide for the next 3 years of my program in U of A
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it - welcome to Edmonton and all the best with your studies!
If you wanna get away from a downtown area and need a break.Go down to fort edmonton park and the John Jensen center
Great recommendation actually - Fort Edmonton is great, went there last summer and it had been years since I'd been there. Tons of cool history and the steam train is awesome. Cheers!
Edmonton gets crapped on a lot but it really is a nice city. Biggreen space ,beautiful river .
I agree, it's a great city overall with a ton to offer. Cheers mate, have a great weekend!
This is a wonderful video! I grew up in Edmonton and I am now teaching overseas in Japan. I was looking for a cultural tour of Edmonton to show my students and stumbled across this. Thank you so much for making this!
Hey thanks for sharing that, pretty cool that people in Japan are watching - started making little videos about a year ago with zero experience and I can't believe anyone is watching them. Cheers mate!
Great video! I love that you did what a lot of people fail to do when picking things to do in certain cities--you listed neighborhoods as well as attractions.
Hey thanks for watching, glad you appreciated that! Cheers mate
Having previously lived in Edmonton (19 years) and Calgary for 9, I can definitely say I prefer Edmonton.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - Edmonton is a great city! Cheers mate
Great video! I recently moved to Edmonton, and this video is definitely gonna help me be the best your guide when my family and friends come to visit.😁
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I still can't believe people are watching my little videos but I'm glad you got some value out of this one. And welcome to Edmonton, there are a lot of great things about this city! Cheers mate
Excellent review of Edmonton. I hope you include Fort Edmonton Park in the next video!
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to leave feedback - you know what, I also did a top 10 Edmonton part 2 video and I included Fort Edmonton in that one. I actually went to the park on a really hot day to get some decent footage so I suffered for my art lol. Cheers mate!
Great video! Thanks. I'm going to send it to my out-of-town guests that are coming in Sept.!
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate you watching and sharing the video with others!
Excellent overview of areas of interest in the city, want to visit 124 st more
Thanks for watching! 124 street has really developed into a cool area of the city, one of my favourite
Letterkenny accent on point.
lmao a couple people have accused me of putting on a fake accent, I didn't even think I had one
Youre gonna be getting a lot of views, Keep uploading !!! Just Subscribed
I appreciate the support, thank you! I just uploaded a new video and I'm going to be creating at least one new one per week. Cheers!
this was a great video buddy very informative and great showcasing
I appreciate the feedback, thank you! You're actually the first person to comment on my videos so I appreciate that as well. Looking forward to sharing some strange stuff about Canada as well as cool areas to explore. Cheers!
Awesome video, man!
Hey I appreciate it, cheers - thanks for watching!
Sadly the legislature grounds are now a tent city.
I was wondering if you were going to put WEM on there. 👍 That was built when i was in grade 9 and our class was on that roller coaster the day before the accident
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I love WEM, seems like a lot of people in Edmonton hate it but I think it has a lot to offer! Cheers mate
Thanks for your video. It's nicely done.
Sadly, Edmonton is a small town that thinks it's a city, and unfortunately, all the places one could visit and have a great experience are done on such a small scale, it's not befitting of the work and money put into building these places. Many events and experiences are akin to "goin' to uncle Bob's birthday party" when it comes to planning and execution, but with the cost of events and places in big, cultural centres. People need to think big when putting on events and experiences. Create some ambiance, a sense of coherence for the downtown core, pick a theme or narrative and stick with it. Have corporate funding for more events and art installations, and bring in some more greenery, or better yet flowers.
Also the drug and homeless situation has profoundly affected this city. It makes it at best unpleasant to go places, at worst dangerous. Calgary helped curb the problem with some housing and more policing of transit and downtown areas. People will come to the area if they feel safe.
Nicely done.
Edmonton definitely has issues but I remain optimistic about the future. Thanks for watching and have a great week!
Do communities surrounding NAIT as well.
I love that area, north central core - I lived in Spruce avenue for a bit years ago. Lots of cool stuff in that region
I find the Mall is becoming more and more run down. It's almost pointless to go there as it's generic stores and a auto dealership. They don't even want to give you a food tray at the food court as they are too cheap to pay for someone to clean them. The Water park is also super expensive as it's $64 bucks a person these days, and the amusement park is a shell of it's former self.
Actually I'd sorta agree about the mall being more run down than before, but it's usually not too bad when I'm there - although I rarely visit. And the amusement park has definitely suffered huge from the loss of rides like the mindbender. I still think it's a great place if you need to do a rare shopping spree and I really think the waterpark is a solid attraction year round. Thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to leave feedback!
I live here and I've never been to omen of these places.🤣
Thanks for watching! Oh come on you've never been to Whyte ave?
@@strangenorth I meant to say most 🤣 autocorrect is so random sometimes
How can you make a video about the top 10 places to visit in Edmonton and not put the telus balls at #1
I didn't want to mention it in case it got too popular, it should be kept just for the locals
My beef with the ICE District is that they threw money into that, vs a hospital... That upset me the most...
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - you know what that's a fair criticism, you could argue the city needed that more than a new arena. I think ICE District is great for a lot of reasons but I understand where you're coming from. Cheers mate, have a great week!
Are these places worth?
what do you mean?
"And number seven is the MUH-TART Conservatory" !!! Please! Please stop spreading your mispronunciation of this famous family of Edmonton, instead teaching readers and listeners the correct pronunciation. Muh-tart. ( By the way grammatically it makes sense: the word "mutant" has one t, Muttart has two t's--- long and short U pronunciation rule. )
The Muttart family built hundreds of homes in Edmonton in the 1950s. I too grew up in Edmonton, but in the early 1950s, and know I'm correct in this pronunciation: muh-tart. Some second and third generation Edmontonians need to be taught how to pronounce historic Edmonton family names as the old timers from back then have all left us to carry on loving our city. You can help out here, and I"d greatly appreciate you taking on this role in your TH-cam, stressing correct pronunciations of words like this one. Feel free to ask this 76 year old Edmonton resident anything you'd like about the good old days of our hometown. There's a lot here that has been forgotten. I like your site and always read the Edmonton and Alberta topic posts. Keep up the good work. BTW this TEN Must See list was bang on. :)
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I actually didn't know that, I always heard it pronounced that way! I appreciate the clarification. Lol seems like I make at least one mistake per video but I'm striving to improve. I'm looking forward to doing more Edmonton videos down the road. Cheers, have a great week!
Be very carefull downtown, lots of drugs, lots of violence. Very progressive.
Fair point, downtown can be sketchy
That's unfortunate. Downtown used to be safer and I used to hang around city center around 2005
I moved here 30 years ago love this city. Downtown sadly has some homeless people. But it is totally safe during the day. Weekdays are the best time to visit. Much of downtown is closed on the weekends. Because without the office workers it is pretty empty and quiet.
There is nothing to visit in Edmonton, except the Mall
Oh god, I hate WEM...
They're raising their rents to EXTORTIONATE AMOUNTS so local businesses can't afford to be there, and now the damn mall is just full of big bougie overpriced stores that really just yank out the personality of the mall...
They have a stupid car sales place in phase one.
A car.
Sales.
Lot.
In phase one.
Who the hell wants to go to a mall to shop for stupid suvs???
I start to hate that place more and more...
I don't hate WEM but I think it's terrible when building owners are abusive with their unreasonable rates. More local stores in the mall would be a great thing! I still think the mall is a great option for those rare times when a person has a whole lot of shopping to do. For me the best thing about the mall is the attractions, in my opinion the waterpark is an underrated place to have a great time in the city (especially in winter). Cheers mate, thanks for watching and leaving feedback!
Lol nobody wants to visit Edmonton my dude. Its soo boring there ppl need to take Adderall to stay awake lol
Lol come on now bro, at least we have Arby's
Edmonton gets millions of tourists a year. I grew up in Northern BC and at least half the people I knew went to Edmonton as a yearly vacation. I know quite a few people that will visit just for West Edmonton Mall or to watch a game or concert. You're clueless if you think no one wants to visit Edmonton as the facts speak for themselves
Maybe you don’t but lots do. If you took the time to comment only to run down the city, it really speaks volumes about you and how unhappy you must be.
