Summer is officially here so I gathered a list of thing to do in Edmonton and area (for free or fairly inexpensive):
Free activities at EPL (kids birth to 3) including baby lap time and sing, learn, play.
Family photo shoot at a studio for $10.99 (you get a 15 min session in studio and all the photos).
Visit Alberta Legislature and get a tour. The tours are free, and the groups are perfect for exploring and hanging out.
Picnic with family at a park (Rundle, Borden, Terwillegar, Victoria park to name a few) - pack a blanket, snacks and some toys and enjoy!
Day trip to a lake (Buffalo lake, Seba, Alberta Beach or Mons). While these require driving the beaches are free, so you can bring food, toys and enjoy sunshine.
Head to a farmers market (from Strathcona, Callingwood, 124 grand market) - pick up some fresh produce and treats and hang out.
Visit at The University of Alberta Observatory on Thursday for free. Access is free every Thursday and great way to do something different.
Take a free Bus Transportation to Elk Island National Park and explore. Busses run from end of June through Summer. Perfect way to explore the park, see some animals and explore.
Check out Queen Mary’s Night Market (June to September), it’s free and they have lots of vendors and music.
How are you spending your Summer?
