Introduction

Listed in the Guinness Book of World Records, the West Edmonton Mall is a gargantuan two-level complex with 800-plus stores, 19 movie theaters, themed attractions and more than 100 eateries. Though diehard shoppers might think the mall is what put Edmonton on the map, the city is also—and more importantly—the capital of Alberta. To get a sense of what that means, visit the Alberta Legislature Building, seat of the provincial government, which was built on the original site of Fort Edmonton. Afterward see what the fort looked like at Fort Edmonton Park, Canada's largest living-history museum.

To look even further back in time, make a stop at the Royal Alberta Museum and its galleries of flora and fauna specimens, including extinct beasts from ancient Alberta. And be sure to allow yourself plenty of time to visit the Syncrude Gallery of Aboriginal Culture, which chronicles 11,000 years of aboriginal history. History of a different sort can be found about 30 minutes from the city at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village. The village's costumed interpreters demonstrate and explain what life was like for immigrants to the area in the early 1900s when this was the largest Ukrainian settlement in Canada. In nearby Devon, the Canadian Petroleum Discovery Centre honors the fuel of the local economy.
