I'm staying in southside now, but when i got here in Canada, the first mall that I saw was West Edmonton Mall, it was a really big mall, good thing they have maps all over the mall and the people are friendly. The bus is also accessible and the parking is good. more

As a resident of Edmonton, here is my unbiassed take on the mall. If you like to shop with the crowds, then weekend shopping at the West Ed' mall is just for you. You can also deposit a portion of your family at the amusement park or waterpark. $99.99CDN gets you a family pass for four for an entire day;... more

We visited the mall on a July weekend - tourists from Seattle. Everyone else we met was a tourist. Our local relatives say they never visit here. We spent a day and a half at the mall and particularly enjoyed: 1. The waterpark - The new Carribean Cove play tower is great for young kids. 2. The sealion show -... more

Edmonton is not a city with a plethora of attractions so West Edmonton Mall is definitely a place that's worth a look both for shoppers and non-shoppers alike. If you are expecting a new modern shopping paradise you will be disappointed, apart from the north side of the mall which contains a fairly new Chapters/Starbucks, the majority of the mall... more

I live only about 1/2 an hour from the mall so have been there more times than I can count. Just a note about some of the above reviews. Aside from the attractions, which are overpriced, the stores themselves are no differently priced than any other store in the city. They might seem extra expensive merely because there are a... more

Go to WEM if you love to shop. It's heaven - you'll spend a full day there seeing all the shops that interest you, and you'll find virtually anything you can think of. It's got lots of unique shops and specialty stores. You won't need to go shopping anywhere else on this vacation! Likely you'll end up spending more than... more

It was a very exciting place, lots to do for us shopoholics and sight see-ers. Although i do agree on the stores being over priced. I'm from a small town in NB, canada and having to look at crazy prices like that made me think some people must have it pretty darn good to be able to actaully buy that... more

My mom, sister and I were traveling through Edmonton on our way to visit friends. We had to see the worlds largest mall. We arrived shortly after opening. We enjoyed all the sights of the mall.My sister and I were giong down to see the fish. Mom did not want to go. She was going to walk to the other... more

Going to WEM was like seeing a few of Calgary's malls all in one place. Most of the stores are familiar but more expensive. The water park is FILTHY and smells like FECES. The wave pool provides you with a crowd surfing experience, being TERRIBLY OVER CROWDED. I was expecting an exciting trip but left terribly disappointed and will NEVER... more
