This is a beast of a mall and you can find anything and everything. We went to galaxy land to be kids again. It was fun. Not too many rides, but the thrill ones were CRAZY! And there are no lineups so that was nice! More

It will take you a week to see the entire place. Make sure you get a map and not to loose your family. More

All in all, the WEM is a huge mall and basically an attraction for visitors to Edmonton. The mall does have a large variety of stores and shopping, but it is so overwhelming to go to the mall as there is always a large crowd, very difficult to navigate around all of the people in the mall. It has good... More

So much there including an ice-skating rink and a life-size replica of the Santa Maria ship and a sea lion exhibition to keep the family entertained. Lots of different shops. Nice atmosphere and lots of space. Uncrowded, More

Always a good trip to the Mall but plan where you want to go. It can be very overwhelming. Grab a map when you first arrive and sit down and make a route. More

The theme parks are what probably stand out from the mall. It's a bit strange and unconventional to have theme parks in a mall and West Edmonton Mall pulled it off fine. Strolling in the mall and checking the stores, it felt the same as any other mall we've been to, only the areas per store were bigger. They mustve... More

I just went to have a look, given that this mall is what Edmonton is famous for! It is absolutely amazing. I just got a bus and it was easy to get to. It has every shop you could ever wish for. Not to mention the water park or the theme park within the shopping mall. More

The West Edmonton Mall reminds me of any other thirty plus year old suburban shopping centre, worn down and tired only on a grandiose scale. Numerous store are empty with promises of New and Exciting Retail Opprtunities coming but none are identified. On a Wednesday night what stores there are are staffed by teenaged slackers more interested in tweeting or... More
