Check in and unpack for 2 nights and then step into magnificent West Edmonton Mall.

Day 3 Friday/Sunday You have the entire day to explore the more than 800 stores, restaurants and attractions. There are major department stores including the oldest corporation in North America, The Hudsons Bay Company, now simply called The Bay. Pick up a Hudsons Bay blanket here. For the adventurous there is also a massive indoor water park, skating rink, indoor theme park, including the Worlds fastest indoor roller coaster and a large lagoon.
