In the afternoon we went to the West Edmonton Mall, the largest Mall in the world with 500,000 square metres sales floor. It was built by a Armenian Persian family clan. Besides over 600 shops there are way more absorbing things to discover like this indoor rollercoaster, part of an indoor amusement park called Galaxyland. All following photos were taken inside the mall.
Nachmittags waren wir in der West-Edmonton-Mall, der mit 500.000 qm Verkaufsfläche größten Mall der Welt. Erbaut wurde sie von einem armenisch-persischen Familienklan. Interessanter als die über 600 Geschäfte fanden wir allerdings das wahnwitzige Drumherum wie z.B. diese Achterbahn im Galaxyland, einem Hallenvergnügungspark. Der Park wie auch alles nachfolgende befindet sich in der Mall.

I went as the guy that I cooked up when signed up, so nobody knew it was me. And actually it was like a cross between being in some suburban shopping mall on the outskirts of Edmonton in the middle of winter and the worst day you ever spent in high school.
Er lebt in Vancouver, dürfte also eigene Erfahrungen mit eurer Shopping Mall haben. Offenbar keine guten.

this place is well cool. its like heavan
i would love to be there in real life
lol i live in edmonton and trust me, the water park and the amusement park really sucks once uve been to it 1,000s of times
teehee i h8 this mall so much it sucks ass, just kiddin its ok, the people who built it madeit with the crappiest materials so it isnt very strong and the waterpark has serious cockroach problems! enjoy and by the way, the best slide (blue bullet) is closed permanently just so u know
AMAZING! I’m from dubai, one day ilike to visit this pool
I grew up in Edmonton, and the Mall…well, it’s a gigantic mall… not what you should be coming to Edmonton for; it’s got lots more going for it as a city than just this massive mall (But having said that, winter here lasts seven months!).
Come in the summer and enjoy warm, sunny weather and almost continuous outdoor festivals of all kinds, from April to August!
See the real Edmonton, under the biggest, bluest sky in North America!
The west Edmonton mall has all the new stores but if you haven’t been there a lot make sure you grab the maps. It is not easy to get around if you do not know where you are going. For me, the Galaxy land, movie theatre and the water park are the best in West Edmonton Mall. WEM is sort a far from the rest of the attractions in Edmonton so if you are going to be going to other places in Edmonton call our Transit link. The phone number will be on any bus stop sign.
I recommend you to visit the mall once you go to Edmonton. Let yourself experience the enjoyment when you are in the biggest mall in the world!
I agree with to terry when you said “it’s got lots more going for it as a city than just this massive mall”. There are a lot of cool places in Edmonton where you can spend your summer vacation with your family. But during the winter you can spend it by going to the gigantic mall in Edmonton and enjoy with the company of your friends and loved ones.
