LONG daytrip I would say, and not so much worth a Visit since her MooChoperness left. (She was the last living dinosaur you know :rofl:)

I was just going to suggest Elk Island....It is quite a bit of time in the car though isn't it@

If you go be careful...Last time I was there I turned around from a bbq to find two huge buffalo (or bison whatever...) strolling over to investigate me...:eek:!!! Got to love wildlife huh!!?

I guess it depends how close you are to Hwy 16- it's only 20 mins for me in Sherwood Park.
Know what you mean about the buffalo though. They blocked the road the first time we went.... :unsure:

45mins from st. albert if that helps at all. we had a nice day with a 9yr old, but make sure you take your mossy spray, the huntsman good stuff or you will be eaten alive. and a picnic.

Well worth the visit, but it would be a pretty long way. I love the scenery around there.

I think this might work as a day trip to check out the Reynolds-Alberta Museum http://machinemuseum.net/ If your kids love cars and planes ans stuff like that and it only 2 Km west of Wetaskiwin on Highway 13 :)
