Here are some of our favourite Edmonton road trip ideas that made the list:

Close to home: Clifford E Lee Natural Area
Clifford E. Lee is an iconic visit, all year round, but during the summer there are birds, wildlife, flowers and trails to explore. Bring bird seed and feed the tiny chickadees on the trail.

Get wet: Obstacle course on the Lake
Sylvan Lake Aqua Splash Park is back for 2022, and better than ever. Plan your visit this summer with the kids. Prices start at $17.50 for an hour of jumping, up to $38 for a full day.

Camels, Tigers and Bears, Oh My.
Where else in Alberta can you feed a camel, interact with tigers after the park has closed and camp overnight? Discover Wildlife Park is a must-see for summer adventurers.

Have Pizza in a Ghost Town
A great add-on for a trip to Drumheller, this ghost town serves up pizza through the summer on special nights. You’ll be amazed at how well the town is preserved.

The Ultimate Kid-friendly Alberta Hike
Don’t let the length of the Siffleur Falls hike intimidate you! It’s doable with young children. It will take you through boardwalk meadows a suspension bridge and a forest.

Zipline into the Water at Kinosoo Beach
No, that’s not Kelowna - that’s Cold Lake! The zipline into the water and paddleboard and kayak rentals make this beach a favourite. Be warned, the water is cold.
