    The moment we walked in, we were captivated by the massive wave pool and colorful slides! We nearly choked on the water as we screamed down the "Tornado" slide, but the thrill kept us coming back for more. The artificial beach area is perfect for kids; my little one spent almost an hour playing with sandcastles. The showers were a bit slippery, though, so be careful. The pizza at lunch was average, but the ice cream stand was generous. The overall atmosphere was incredibly fun, though it can get really crowded on weekends, with long lines for every ride. It would have been much better to avoid peak hours.

    The main commercial street in downtown Edmonton. It is a great time to take a walk and relax.
