Which came first - the pyramids of Giza or the pyramids or Edmonton? We don't know....but we still recommend visiting the Muttart Conservatory. The pyramids have 4 unique biomes so you can visit the tropics, the dessert, the Canadian forest and more without even leaving the city. This is especially fun in the winter when you want to escape the snow and ice.

If you want to get a unique view of Edmonton, climb to the top of Greisbach Hill. And spend some time reading about the history in the Greisbach neighbourhood. It used to be the army barracks in Edmonton.

City/town information

Edmonton is only a 3 hour drive to the most beautiful mountains in the world. Take a trip to Jasper National Park and get lost in the Rocky Mountains. Don't actually get lost though...that was just a figure of speech.
