So if you want a fairly affordable night out with the family watching a sport, the Edmonton…read moreProspects baseball team is for you. 10 buck parking, under 20 bucks for admission (and kids are cheaper), and being outside cheering on your home team bonds everyone without breaking the bank. There is a limited cover, so if the weather turns you can run up to it. Lots of food choices including sushi, Drift food truck, two ice cream places, as well as the typical concession food. Lots of interactive games, cheers and fun to get the crowd involved. Sometimes they also have special concerts so you may get more than you paid for. Definitely give it a try!

Edmonton's very own professional soccer (err... Football) club!…read more FC Edmonton (or the Eddies) play in the NASL (division 2 soccer in North America). And while no one will mistake the league for being the Premier League in England, the players are very good. And perhaps more importantly they are clearly playing for the love of the game. The team plays in Clarke Stadium which the team (along with the city) have spent quite a bit of time renovating to help the team out including adding new bleachers on the east side. If you want to really get into the spirit you can sit in section 107 which is the supporters section. Just be prepared to stand and cheer all game long! Overall well worth going to for a fun afternoon/evening of soccer. At $20 tickets are priced just right. Go Eddies Go!

The show features acrobats, dancers and performers doing a whole bunch of neat tricks and circus show stuff !!! The show features all human performers, but no animal were part of this show. My favourite part of the show was the motorcyclists riding my bikes inside a round steel cage, which happened to be at the end of the show, but was one of the most impressive. The Royal Canadian International Circus is a great show for all families, kids and adults alike!!

Friends of ours had a 50% off discount code for the general admission tickets so we were able to get 4 seats for $85. There are ringside and VIP seating also available which is closer to the ring. We stood in line and had to have our hard copy printed tickets ready to hand over. Upon entering, you're greeted with the scent of popcorn, mini donuts, and hot dogs. All the food items were your basic circus food, nothing out of the ordinary but the prices were sky high. $5 for a bottle of water (Nestle Life water), $5 for a can of pop, $5 for small cotton candy, $5 for a hot dog, $20 for a bucket of mini donuts. They also had some pretty cool light up wands which were $30 each. Face painting was available for $15 and pony rides (which were basically dwarf horses hooked up to a circular thing that guides them to walk in a circle) were $15 as well. The performances were spectacular and the kids and adults alike were all amazed with the acts. Highly recommend for this alone as this was everyone's favourite part. Just like everything recovering from the pandemic has been hard for the circus and so this was their first year back on the road. I look forward to many more circuses to come in the future and will be prepared for the cash spend next time.

I've been here over the years for Trappers games and more recently an Edmonton Prospects game. I've also been here for a party during the World's Masters Games (at which I was volunteering) and the field is a really neat concert venue as a result. It's perhaps not as big as a bigger ballpark but it is certainly very useable and useful. Having sat in box seats as well as in the regular stands I can appreciate both. The field is parking and transit accessible. I like to just walk down to it from downtown as it's a nice walk. While I'm not a huge fan of baseball, I will admit that one's enjoyment of a game here really has more to do with who one is with than the game itself for the most part. I think that the more dated aspects of the park would become renewed if we again had a higher league ball team playing here.

We love to go to games here and appreciate that seats are so inexpensive!…read more This is a fun alternative date night or weekend spot. On Canada Day, you can stay past the game to watch the fireworks. There is a concert .in between the two events. The food here is okay. It has switched to Remax field and I think that this is why the menu changed as well. There are fewer choices than before. I want to try to nacho poutine next time I am there. There are a variety of seats to choose from including lower bowl where you sit on field level, balcony seats, nose bleeds, and bleachers. I believe the field seats have a private bar and you can order your food instead of standing in line. We go to games as often as we can

The arcade area was kid friendly but kind of pricey at $2-$3 for each game. I found the dark mini golf was a bit challenging for 3-4 year olds. The parents helped their kids. The staff were friendly and very good with the kids. I loved the separate party areas where you can enjoy cake and present opening with guests. I had moments where I couldn't see my son because it was so dark. My son said some of the decor was a bit too scary for him. It felt like Halloween. I could see what he meant that it would be scary for young kids. Overall, a cool place to host a party.

To begin with, it wasn't organized well for ages.... there was a booklet that the kids could take around the activities to get stamped.... my 4 year old and 1 year old were too young to understand the concept and my 7 year old wasn't allowed into many of the activities because he was too old and he was bored stiff at many of the others. The fossil digging was pretty cool - everyone enjoyed this. The Box fort zone was highly anticipated.... and highly disappointing.... my front yard on trash day would be more exciting to play in. As pictured, it was a few boxes that were collapsed and largely falling apart.... there was so so much potential for this event.... but it was completely unsupported. We'll continue to support the main fringe festival, but we'll be looking for other activities for our kids.

It's a whirlwind, you'll laugh, you may cry, you may wonder why it is so humid, hot or cold, you may wonder why there are so many zombie plays (much more last year!). But it's fun and is never a dull moment ... And it means summer is almost over. Enjoy it for what it is. Edmonton at its best! Just a few words of advice. I've NEVER seen an exceptional one man show and zombie show + comedy usually = entertaining. Happy fringe-ing!

The VIP Club was located in the Shaw Conference Centre. It overlooked the course through large windows and had an outdoor patio with heaters and bar area. The VIP club price included a food, six drink tickets, DJ, souvenir touque, coat check, and wristband to any of the GA areas. It was pricy at $250 each. But we bought our tickets at a reduced price. The food was good! It was buffet. Different stations throughout the space representing the different Canadian regions. It was tasty for the most part. I liked the prime and chicken and waffles. The desserts were by far the best part! There was an apple pie, raspberry custard, butter tarts, soft serve ice cream with various toppings. So, good! The six drink tickets were plenty. It was all you could drink Red Bull. The drink tickets bought beer, wine, vodka, Jaegermeister and and ice tea rum drink. There were plenty of spots to watch the action, eat, etc. It was busy, but never felt overcrowded. The lines for food and drinks were short. The sport itself is fun! And the event well run. We would go to the event, again. But probably just on an $8 general admission ticket. The VIP experience was exciting but I would only pay for it once.
