Day Trips

You can immerse yourself in the history, arts, and nature of Edmonton’s outlying areas without leaving the city’s bright lights for long. There are countless activities within an hour’s drive of the city!

Visit historical sites commemorating the oil boom, the gold rush, or Alberta’s Ukrainian immigrants. See local artists hard at work in their studios. Pick some berries at U-pick farm, or get yourself lost in a spectacular corn maze. And don’t forget about nature: there are plenty of opportunities for great golfing, hiking, water sports, downhill and cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing in Edmonton’s outlying areas.

Check out the Day Trip & Sightseeing packages, or visit Edmonton's Countryside for a comprehensive listing of activities.
