Our Travel Blog: West Edmonton Mall

Bucket List: West Edmonton Mall. You can easily spend one or two whole days here. It is the largest mall in North America and was the world's largest mall until 2004. It is 5,300,00 square feet.

Some of the attractions at the mall (besides shops!) include 2 mini-golf courses, an amusement park, a waterpark, an indoor shooting range, a bowling alley, a dinner theatre, an Escape Room, a chapel, a comedy club, a 9D virtual reality ride, a replica of the Santa Maria, an IMAX theatre, a casino, the world's largest indoor zipline, and themed streets.

We drove around and picked a random place to park. Lo and behold, we entered the mall right where the escape room was. It fits up to 6 people at once, but we were the only ones there, so we had it all to ourselves. Our mission was to figure out what happened at the moon base before our oxygen ran out in 45 minutes. Needless to say, we died. And that was with them coming in to help us a few times.

We think we got eaten by aliens:

This guy caught our attention:

World Waterpark is the 2nd largest indoor waterpark in the world, and has the world's largest indoor wave pool. Watched some people getting wet:

Frankie was so stoked to see the Ice Palace where WORLD CHAMPION figure skater Kaetlyn Osmond trains!

We decided to try pairs skating:

We didn't do very well, so we switched up our routine:

Inside West Edmonton Mall is Galaxyland, the world's 2nd largest indoor amusement park, with 24 rides and attractions. The Mindbender is the world's largest indoor triple loop roller coaster (it derailed in 1986 and killed 3 people).

We played some glow-in-the-dark mini golf but we didn't glow very much:

Then a mirror maze:

We got to try the Playstation 4 VR for free. Anton went for a luge ride and Frankie opted for the calmer underwater experience. All until the shark attacked her.
