West Edmonton Mall

West Edmonton Mall is North America's largest shopping and entertainment center, which includes eight-hundred shops and services, one-hundred eating establishments , and nine super-cool parks! West Edmonton Mall also features Canada's Galaxy Land! Galaxy Land has twenty-five awesome rides, and a choice of the fun house or a haunted house (which is really scary! ). there is also Fantasy Land Hotel, where each level is a whole different theme (trucks, etc.)!

West Edmonton Mall is located 170 Street NW, Edmonton, AB, and is open from Monday to Saturday 10 AM -9 PM , and Sunday from 11 AM - 5 PM. For more info on Galaxy Land , click here.

I have been to West Edmonton Mall many times and I love all of their thrilling rides and attractions throughout the mall. One of my favourites is the submarine tour underwater! (PS, there is a surprise in the food court!). I give the whole of West Edmonton Mall a 10/10 for all their entertainment, but I rate Galaxy land 9/10 because of their real high prices.

Sikome Lake

Sikome Lake is a man-made lake, located in The SE Corner of Fish Creek Park, Calgary. Sikome lake features two playgrounds, and a swinging rope, and has lifeguards, change rooms, snack bars, and a sandy beach. You don't have to pay admission into Sikome Lake, it is FREE!

Pets aren't permitted at this lake, and you can only BBQ if it is gas-powered and used in lawn areas adjecent to the beach.

I have been to Sikomi Lake before and, even though I prefer natural lakes, I like how they have rope swings and change rooms! However, I give it 9/10 due to the dirty water.

Village Square Leisure Center

The Village Square Leisure Center is one of the top places to hang out with your family! The Leisure Center indoor water park features a huge wave pool, water slides, dive tank, hot tub, steam room, rope swings, and the coolest Safari Splash Zone with swinging bridges, dump buckets, spray guns, and three mini water slides.

The Leisure Center also includes a full-size gym , a jungle gym for little kids ( located next to the pool), two full-size arenas, weight room and fitness studios, and a cafeteria. There is also the Village Square Public Library. Calgary Leisure Center is located 2623 56 St. NE , Calgary.

I have been to The Leisure Center many times, and I love the indoor water park and the wave pool. I've eaten at the cafeteria few times and their food is pretty good. I give the leisure centre 9/10 , because of high admission prices ( For great deals on the prices, click here. )

Prarie Winds Park

Prarie Winds Park is a large Park that features a picnic site with a cover, two playgrounds, a water park and spray park, a man-made creek (that almost never runs), outdoor ice skating, a hill for tobagganing in the winter , and many good walking trails.

To find out where Prarie Winds Park is located, click here. Prarie Winds Park has change rooms near the water park to change into your bathing suit, and shady places to set up your picnic near the water park.

I have been to Prarie Winds Park alot on those hot summer days and I love to ride my bike on the trails , so I rate this park a 9/10, because the creek should really run full of water!

Build-a-Bear Workshop

Build-a-Bear Workshop is located at Chinook Centre, 6455 Macleod Trail SW, Calgary. At Build-a-Bear, you create and build your own stuffed animals. You choose your animal, then you stuff it and add a special heart. Next, you stitch it up, then you give it a very special spa treatment. Then, you go to their computers to name your stuffed animal , then (my favourite part)pick out its clothes! Last, you take it home in a very special Cub Condo!

The Build-a-Bear Workshop is the ideal place to go to get a gift for a little (or big) girl. To visit their website, click here. Build-a-Bear Workshop is also in other locations.

I have been to Build-a-Bear Workshop twice, and I was satisfied with their products , employees,and the system they use. I rate it as a 9/10 because their prices are a little high for just a stuffed animal.
