One of the largest mall in North America. You can get easily lost here. The best way to find something is through their directory which they have throughout the mall usually near the entrance. The small is amazing. It doesn't just have stores and restaurants, but it has hotels, indoor waterpark, indoor golfing, mazes, ice, skating, animals,and it has a play area as well. There are different themes. My favorite store is here are - Lululemon - roots - London drugs - TNT market There's so much to do at the mall you can spend a whole day here! There are several food courts. My favorite place to get food is at the TNT market. They have a variety of Bento boxes, sushi, a bakery, dim sum, and drinks. Plenty of parking in the lot read more

This mall is pretty cool, I love the fact that it has an amusement park and waterpark smooshed into one building. Many stores to shop from too. but someone threw a buttplug at me in Spencer's and someone tried to drown me in the Waterpark. That wasn't very nice. read more

West Edmonton Mall is hands down one of the best malls I've ever visited. I was truly impressed by the incredible variety of stores and restaurants--it feels like there's something for everyone. What surprised me even more was how family-friendly it is: a full waterpark, a massive wave pool, and even an under-the-sea adventure show featuring sea lions and seals. I'll admit, I was taken aback to see live animals in a mall setting. I can only hope they're treated with care and compassion, because mistreatment of animals is something I do not support in any form. All that said, this place is enormous. You could easily spend half a day here and still not see everything. And the artwork throughout the mall? Absolutely breathtaking. A truly memorable experience. read more

West Edmonton Mall, owned and operated by the Triple Five Group--the family enterprise founded by the Ghermezian brothers who originally developed it--is a landmark destination in Edmonton. Opened in 1981, it was the largest indoor shopping mall in the world until 2004. Today, it ranks as the second largest shopping mall in North America by square footage, behind Minnesota's Mall of America, and is approximately the 29th largest worldwide by gross leasable area. WEM remains the largest mall in the Americas by total area and boasts the highest store count in the Western Hemisphere with over 800 stores. Its rich history and vast variety of stores and entertainment options make it a wonderful destination for families and shoppers alike. Personally, I cherish memories from my first year living in Edmonton during Christmas 1984, when my sister, now in heaven, visited me. The mall has evolved since then, notably no longer housing live dolphins or animals due to ecological concerns. The entertainment options, including a magnificent year-round pool that lets you imagine being in Mexico without leaving Edmonton, add to the mall's unique charm. Whether you're shopping or enjoying family-friendly attractions, West Edmonton Mall offers an exceptional experience that blends history, scale, and community spirit. read more

West Edmonton Mall certainly has a lot going on. From a huge pirate ship to penguins, an amusement park, skating ring, hotel, restaurant, car dealerships, and an indoor water park... a lot to grasp and definitely overwhelming to say the very least. Not much to say regarding the service. read more

West Edmonton Mall - BRBN St. - Shopping Centers Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

west edmonton mall, a place so massive, it's easy to forget everything packed inside. pretty sure i've reviewed it before, but here we go again. it's more than just shopping, there's an amusement park, a waterpark with slides, a wave pool with zip lining, a pirate ship, swan pedal boats, and an ice skating rink. there's even a hotel, casino, bowling alley, dinner theatre, a shooting range, and a dog daycare with a park. shopping wise, there's everything from high end luxury (gucci, balenciaga, saint laurent, tiffany & co) to staples like simons, h&m, winners, sephora, and uniqlo. and of course, t&t, a must stop. you can even shop for bridesmaids and prom dresses, though most formal gown boutiques require you to remove your shoes upon entering. themed areas add to the experience, like bourbon street for dining and europa boulevard, with its colourful european style buildings. scattered throughout the mall are unique art installations, including lifelike figure skaters suspended in motion and a large humpback whale sculpture. would you believe there's even a toyota car dealership inside?! with over 800 stores, you could spend an entire day here and still not see everything. thankfully, there are plenty of places to sit when you need a break. and with only one tax, it's retail therapy at its finest. read more

$90 for USED FOOD that looked like a BAD EPISODE OF NAILED IT at West Edmonton Mall Waterpark?! Booked a Poolside Plus Cabana on Aug 13. Our "small charcuterie box" arrived with more than half the grapes already picked from the stem and shoved back on the platter -- looked like it had been eaten or handled by someone else. We reported it immediately. Staff did nothing. Told us to call the vendor ourselves. Took 24 hours for management to respond, and when they finally did, they debated the number of grapes instead of acknowledging the sanitation issue. For $90, I expect food that hasn't been pre-tasted. Absolutely unacceptable. This completely ruined our cabana experience. #WestEdmontonMall #WEM #WaterparkFail #FoodSafetyFail read more

It is a huge Mall and they keep it very clean. Because of it's large size they need more directories so you can figure out were to go. Tried to locate washrooms on the digital directory I did find and it would not show me. I mane it could take an hour to find one of you just wonder around looking. There is an amusement park and a water park inside and both were fun especially for the kids. There is also an; indoor high speed go-kart track for older kids and adults. Plenty of free parking. We also stayed at the attached hotel and also another(part of the mall group) across the street. read more

This mall is awesome! Reminds me of mall of America in Minnesota. Soooo many amazing stores to choose from, and endless selection of coffee shops & restaurants, they even have an indoor water park, rollercoaster area, ice skating rink and more! The staff here were very nice and helpful in every store we stopped through. Canadian people are so kind! I love it here! They have stores that vary from lower end Marshall's, h&m and if you want something more fancy they have Louis Vuitton, Gucci and all the higher end stores you may want. what more do you need in a mall? The food court was impressive- such diverse food from African, Korean, Indian, Pilipino, Japanese, Chinese, Greek and more... just wow! Every mall should be like this place. Clean washrooms, clean mall throughout the entire place. The staff obviously works hard. I wish we had this exact mall in Las Vegas, I would be here every weekend if I could! What a perfect mall. The only challenge I had was finding a way out to the Uber pick up area- the mall closed but restaurants stayed open so once I was done eating I had to walk pretty far to find an actual exit so I could be picked up. Haha but I got some extra steps in at least. This is by far my favorite mall I've ever visited. read more

Visited WEM in January 2020: my 3rd lifetime visit. First time was in 1990s when we road tripped from Qc. What a magnificent country we live in, by the way! When we got home, we had to do a presentation on our summer holiday and I was so excited to tell my classmates about WEM, Jungle Jim's, (and that there was no provincial sales tax, lol). Probably the best experience when you are a kid. Sometime in the 2000s after moving to YYC, we took a short trip up. Went on the rides. Ate at Jungle Jim's (NFLD) lots of greasy pub food appropriately named: "The kitchen sink." Third trip was in winter. The darkness, bleakness, and cold reminded me of home. The weather was harsh. Sadly, Jungle Jim's was in the final stages of moving out. We found a cute place to eat in the mall and went there everyday for lunch. This time we checked out the pool. It was fun. read more

I debated even doing this review but it seemed like a bit of a special case. Normally, I wouldn't include a mall on a list of local attractions that were worth checking out. However, this isn't an normal mall, either. It's worth stopping by just for the scale and the added features not normally found in a mall: - the attached indoor water park - the pirate ship with associted area for renting paddle boats - the ice skating rink - one of the 'food courts' featuring what would normally be stand-alone restaurants, comedy clubs, etc. - the Asian wing, complete with an Asian grocery store - the mini-amusement park wing for young kids There may be other things like the above, but that's what I noticed. It's definitely a unique place (other than the similar one in Minneapolis, apparently). read more

Amazing place so many places to take pics and love the stores if you can visit minso love the plushy and lovely photo boots lots of memories

This place is huge and such a blast. From the water park to the retail stores to the restaurants to the ice rink to the roller coasters and whatever else I'm missing, this is a must to experience while in Edmonton. You can honestly spend a few hours here on an unplanned trip, or even a whole day. There's so much to see and so many steps to get in - LOL! There's ample parking, but be mindful of where you park in such a huge area. I didn't have a car while I was here, so I opted to take a ride share there and back. read more

Vacation in Edmonton? Yes, my wife and daughter made me go to the West Edmonton Mall not once, but, twice during our recent vacation. Yes, we have our share of malls in Southern California. But, none of them can compare to the size of the WEM. At 3.8 million sq ft, the WEM mall easily beats South Coast Plaza and their measly 2.7 million square feet. You want shopping? They got it! They have all sorts of shops from high end retailers to stores like Dollarama. Restaurants? They have restaurants from fast food, to sit down fancy restaurants. You can even be like me and bring your stash from Dollarama into the Halley's Club without getting a snarky attitude from the staff. You need entertainment? This mall has an ice skating rink, a replica of the ship, the Santa Maria, an amusement park, movie theaters and a water park. If you need something more adult, they have a casino and casino related restaurants for you. Let's not forget your Asian groceries from T&T Market. It's Dynomite! My parents and in-laws definitely would stop at T&T, but, you would never find me in there as long as I am on vacation. They even have the Fantasyland Hotel here if you don't want to drive back home or to your hotel. Edmonton people are so nice! My daughter left her brand new iPhone in the bathroom stall of the Hudson Bay Department Store. What was she doing with the phone in the stall, I don't know. But someone found the phone and gave it to lost and found. If she left the phone in a bathroom stall in California, the phone would never be returned. It's ginormous, and is larger than any other mall I've been to. Even though we went there twice, I know there are places that we missed. Why do I have to go shopping while on vacation? read more

Booked the "Imperial Room" for 2 nights for our 40th Anniversary. Completely disappointed! The room had a view of a brick wall, and I guarantee the drapes have not been cleaned since the days when smoking was allowed in rooms. That is what almost 600$ buys? No thank you! read more

We were just here for our 2 year wedding anniversary. It was a blast!! There's so many fun attractions that you wouldn't see just anywhere. My husband doesn't even like crowds and even he was blown away. Yes, you can go shopping anywhere, but honestly it's not about the stores or retail. There's just so much to do and see, and there's something for everyone. And no, it's not nearly as run down as everyone says. And every place we went was phenomenal. PS: The water park's insanely impressive and completely worth the price, but I wouldn't go on a Saturday afternoon if you want a chance to go down every water slide. The line ups are pretty long. read more

This is a monstrosity of a mall y'all. I don't even know where to begin because there are far too many entrances and exits to count, a freaking water park, shooting range, ice rink, and a full-blown amusement park all under one ridiculously large roof! I saw sea lions, Sig Sauers, siu mai, and so much more all in the span of just a few hours, and I don't think we even covered half of it! Highlights for me included: 1) A stable of motorized animals can be rented to carry your kids around this place. I had no need for these, but thinking about hanging onto a child or keeping up with them on foot has me pulling my hair out already. On these, they'll likely be moving around at your pace and you won't need to stress. 2) Chinese grocery store and food court on an upper level complete with an awesome prepared foods counter, live wet market, Chinese bbq, fresh produce and all the dry goods and kitchen staples you can imagine. 3) Did I say there was an amusement park here? I know I did, but it needed to be repeated for emphasis. There's a triple looping coaster, carnival games, and just about everything else you could expect to find in one, all INSIDE A MALL! I don't think we even walked into an actual store on our visit, but I think I saw them there ;) I can't say this is a spot I'd come to regularly, but if you want some exercise, an activity to do on a bad weather day during a visit, or a place that can entertain the family for HOURS, make this part of your travel plans. read more

I love everything about Edmonton except the weather. Winter months are long and brutal. Temperatures drop as low as minus 40. It's so damn cold that you can't do anything outdoors. Thank God for West Edmonton Mall, we were able to enjoy normal activities we were only able to do during non-winter months. WEM, once considered as the biggest mall in the world, has all the amenities you need in one place. Aside from 800 plus shops, there's a hotel, theater, bars, mini golf, amusement park, water park, skating rink, lake with an actual ship, etc. So much to do and see for first time visitors to appreciate but for someone like me who lived in this city for many years, I didn't see a lot of changes. My two favorite hang outs, Red's and Rum Jungle are gone. Odeon has been renamed Scotia Theater but the stores and restaurants remained the same. No hard feelings though. WEM has been a big part of my Canadian life and it was a nice feeling to relive the memories when I revisited. read more

While in Canada I was told I needed to visit this mall. Turns out, this is the BIGGEST mall I have ever been to. Mall has a water park, wave pool and a zipline all in the same area. Wait, there is more... Hotel, Ice skating rink, amusement park, and a food court that you really cannot call it a food court because there are fast food places and high-end places only a few feet away. Multiple floors and soooooo many kiosk that I lost count!! Really cool place to hangout, shop, eat, and basically loose your mind read more

Biggest mall in North America and third in the world. Indoor amusement park, skating rink w lessons and cute children's classes that are adorable. Lots of stores and a restaurant lane for better sit down food and a Bubba Gump by the cineplex and two food courts - but these should be larger in my opinion. Two recreational offerings - Ed's rec room (bowling and such) and the Rec Room by Cineplex that offers VR and other games and food. They added a petting zoo last month and also have a pirate ship for parties and a sea lion show. Cineplex for film buffs and a casino w three or four restaurants has been renovated 2019. There is an attached hotel and one across the street. Just off the highway and easily accessible to downtown YEG. Definitely the first destination mall in the world and a blueprint for successful malls w the death of retail stores. Still a happening place on Friday night and weekends. A must see in YEG. read more

I have been coming here off and on since it opened. No question it does not have the glamour it had when it opened. The sparkle and shine seems to have faded. The parking lot is a shambles. Which is of course the first thing you see when going to the mall. The mall was packed! Lot and lots of people. There are many many shops. You can eat, play mini golf, have a drink, get new clothes, go for a roller coaster ride, get a hair cut, have a swim, skate (once the 3 million dollar renovation is done), see a movie, gamble and so much more. Yup, you can still fill your day. read more

I had a stay at W.E.M on September 4th, at which time I used valet parking the next morning when I went to have my truck returned to me they informed me that my truck would not start. Once I got to my truck I seen that the ignition casing had been cracked into several pieces. I had a mechanic come to my truck at WEM and he clearly stated to them and myself that it was because a key was put into the fob hole I have made multiple phone calls to W.E.M in the last several weeks for the to only now return my call today for Jeanne Dobranski - whom was very rude_ she informed me " a human could not have done this". So unless they turned my keys over to a very strong mouse obviously a human put a key in the fob key ignition that my truck has. The combination of a tow truck, loss of wages and the repairs to my truck, then get to top off this terrible experience with the most ridiculous excuse as to what happened to my truck and the most unprofessional handling of the situation that I have ever experienced in my life. I have either managed or owned a business for over 36 years and I understand that as humans (not mice) we all mistakes. however we also should take responsibility for our actions read more

WOW. There is so much stuff going on at this mall. Hilariously this is a shopping center and I didn't really do any shopping at all. So I came here checked out the waterpark and that was interesting. I saw people swimming, zipling and etc. The people at the pool is like entertainment. Wow to the water slides. It looks fun. Then I went to check out the sea lion and it was just as fun. There were 3 sea lions that did tricks and posed for photos. Amazing. the show goes on every day at 2 and 4 pm. I am amazed. Then I went on to check out Galaxyland. WOW to that too. That was some really high/tall roller coaster in there. It goes so fast and looks super scary too. Then we went to watch people play mini golf inside. The mall is definitely big. I spent like 3 hours inside. I was entertained. WOW to it. It's basically a tourist attraction and inside was super busy. There are plenty parking. I talked to a local and she said she prefers other mall because West Edmonton Mall is no longer have that mall feel but is more like a tourist spot. She is somewhat right. But as a tourist I had a great time. Too bad the ice rink was under renovation. I would like to see people skate on it for more entertainment. read more

LARGEST MALL IN ALL OF NORTH AMERICA (used to be largest mall in the world until Dubai took over). Having been to both, West Edmonton Mall has been built a while ago, with a small amount of renovations and add ons to the building. As everyone probably mentions, something unique about the park is the mini amusement park, the skating rink, water park. The shops are a little old, some are very exciting to go into though. There was one store in particular that sold porcelain dogs which were extremely realistic and lovely. Besides that, the most memorable spots of this West Edmonton Mall is the giant ship in the centre of the mall and the T&T grocery store on one end of the mall. read more

Did you know that Edmonton, AB, has the largest shopping mall in North America and the tenth largest mall in the world? It had the world's largest mall 'til 2004. Well, it does ... it's the West Edmonton Mall. The West Edmonton Mall covers a gross area of about 6,100,000 sq ft. There are over 800 stores and services and parking for more than 20,000 vehicles. More than 23,000 people are employed at the property. I'm not a big shopper but I had some time to kill until I could check into my hotel so I spent it there. Most of the stores are the same chains that we have in Toronto ... in fact, there are a couple of the same stores in the mall. Here are some of the highlights ... I'd never seen a tattoo parlour in a mall before ... there were a few of them in this mall. There is a large-scale replica of the Santa María, one of the ships sailed by Christopher Columbus, that you can tour for $1. Next to the boat, is a sea lion show. Ice Palace is a scaled down version of an NHL regulation sized ice rink. Galaxyland is the second-largest indoor amusement park in the world and features 24 rides and attractions. World Waterpark is the world's largest indoor waterpark with a size of over 20,000 square metres (4.9 acres). The park has the world's largest indoor wave pool. The highest slides in the park are the Twister and Cyclone, which is 25.3 metres (83 ft) high. The wavepool has six wave bays, each with two panels with a total of 1,500 horsepower (1.1 MW) generating waves up to two metres high. Conscious that I just brought a small suitcase (that I want to take on the plane with me), I didn't want to buy much. I couldn't resist buying a blouse and a suit that were on sale. read more

Wow, looks like West Ed has finally cleaned itself up since the last time I was here (in the 1990s). Parking is everywhere. The lot is almost as large as the mall itself. The new renovations look pretty amazing. The mall was starting to look dated, but this fixes the problem quite effectively. One of the things I like the most about the latest improvements is that the mall no longer has 3 of the same stores (various). In my mind, that defeated the purpose of having such a large mall. If you get the chance, hit up World Waterpark. This is totally worth it. The rink also looks like it'd be a ton of fun. Definitely worth checking out. read more

WEM is my all-time favorite place to be in terms of shopping! Super convenient here in Canada because it's so damn cold all the time! I love the massive selection of stores and food. If you come here, you'll eventually find something that interests you some way or another. Overall, it's so simple to plan a day here and you can honestly never go wrong with coming to WEM. This is the perfect place to be when you are looking to shop or get new clothes. I really love the new Uniqlo location in particular. Moreover, the appearance of the mall is super nice and I feel that it is maintained quite nicely One of my only complaints is the horrendous parking situation. You can expect to spend up to 20 minutes if you are truly unlucky -- I know I've had to a couple times. Simply, there's no other place like WEM. It is such a wonderful place to be especially in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. It is an absolute treat to be here. read more

A shopper's dream and a world of excitement! West Edmonton Mall! So sang the TV ads for the mall when I was 9 years old and we had just moved to Edmonton. My first experience at the mall was going to the World Waterpark in February of 1988 for a birthday party of a guy I barely knew but was invited as a friendly gesture. It truly was a world of excitement! That summer we got the super summer attraction passes and were able to go to the amusement park, water park, mini-golf course, submarine ride (when they had it) and I think the ice skating rink all summer long for several summers thereafter in my childhood. Many boxing days in the 90's when I was a teenager found me in and out of stores trying to use my Christmas money to revive my wardrobe. Once I moved to California for college and remained in the US thereafter, trips to West Ed became far and few between. Only when I was visiting Edmonton and we had something to shop for we'd head to the grand mall though more to get things. Not to stroll the whole thing. Then the pandemic hit and I couldn't cross the border to visit family for roughly 18 months. The day they announced the borders were open, I booked a flight to come see family and I really wanted to go to West Edmonton Mall. Maybe as a way to feel nostalgic again and remember life pre-pandemic in a place I hoped was immune to it? As much as I wanted it to be a blast from the past, West Ed also showed all the same signs of having to navigate the pandemic. Arrows pointing in the flow of traffic, masked employees and shoppers. Sanitation stations in stores. It was hard to see but it settled for me that even this mall so full of memories of my past is making it through the pandemic. The attractions are mostly still there. Would love to go to the waterpark again next time I'm in town as there are certainly additional waterslides I didn't have growing up and the tube ride looks totally different. That poor wing of the mall by The Hudson Bay company is as sad as it has always been with all the stores that just aren't a big draw but fill square footage. The main drag between the ice rink and dolphin show still has a good mix of truly Canadian stores and those the US has sent up to Canada. Much has changed. No more Zellars, several areas that used to house large stores are amusement centers. I can't believe the McDonald's in the food court is gone. Actually, so is the one that used to be across from Galaxyland (or Fantasyland in the old days). I'm glad this mall is still relevant at a time when malls are struggling to compete with the online markets like Amazon. I hope Edmontonians continue to make the effort to shop in stores physically than allowing this piece of our culture slide into history. read more
