West Edmonton Mall

We went to West Edmonon Mall and got our picture taken with Santa. If you don't know anything about this mall, it was the largest mall in the world for many years. It's huge!

Galaxyland is located here. It's a huge indoor amusment park. There are rides and games for all ages.

It's amazing to see the roller coasters that they were able to fit in this mall. This picture only shows a small portion of Galaxyland.

We purchased a pass to a four story kids play area. There was a cave, slides and all kinds of fun places to explore for the kids. This was the area we used the most. With our pass we could return as many times as we wanted until 9PM. Before we left the mall we went on a few rides. Here Austyn and Daddy are on the swing ride.
There are other attractions. To the left is an underground aquarium and a live seal show that plays twice a day. The the right at the back is a replica of the Santa Marie Ship. To the bottom there are some bumper boats that squirt water. We rode them and got all wet. It was fun. Beside the Santa Maria there are remote control boats. Behind it there is a big movie theatre with a fire breathing dragon. The dragon was broken on this trip so Austyn was a bit bummed to not see it breath fire.

This is a picture of the seal show. We watched part of it from a distance.
This is the skating rink. There is also a large indoor water park.

The mall is so big it has more than one food court. It has a section with all kinds of popular restaurants. There is a famous themed hotel attached. This is part of the mall that looks like old buildings.

Some of the stores we were not use to seeing in malls. I don't even know how many tatoo parlours we passed walking through and that was only on one level.
