Fort Edmonton Park, located on the south bank of the North Saskatchewan River, vividly recreates the historical appearance and living scenes of Edmonton more than 150 years ago.
The park was originally a fur trading post established by the Hudson's Bay Company along the North Saskatchewan River. As you stroll through it, you can experience the fur trading scenes from 1846 to 1929 and the urban life during the western expansion period as if traveling through time. Staff and guides dressed in historical costumes will explain the living conditions of the people at that time to visitors.
The park is dotted with ancient buildings, each with its own story and meaning. The park's entertainment facilities are also very complete; you can watch 4D movies, shop, and stroll around. It is also a great place for family gatherings and leisure on weekends.
There is a small train station in the park, retaining the unique style and appearance of the last century. The quaint and exquisite steam train circles the park. You can take the train for free to different attractions.
