Drumheller :confused: supposed to be really worth a visit and what about some of the National Parks too.

Re: Day trips from Edmonton
 

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:)

Elk Island National Park is nice...

Re: Day trips from Edmonton
 

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!!?

Re: Day trips from Edmonton
 

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:

Drumheller ? Where is that ? Thanks Diane

Re: Day trips from Edmonton
 

AAh yes I have heard of that Thanks Diane

Re: Day trips from Edmonton
 

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.

fort edmonton park in the river valley, telus world of science, childrens festival in st albert

Re: Day trips from Edmonton
 

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

Thanks for the ideas,I see that you live in St Alberts .Do you enjoy living their ? The reason why i ask is we have been looking at areas,living in sw at moment but find it a bit busy. Thanks Diane

Re: Day trips from Edmonton
 

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 :)

Re: Day trips from Edmonton
 

Thanks ,girls might not be interested but son and hubbie would.Many Thanks

Re: Day trips from Edmonton
 

yeah that's a good one. Some times they have special event days as well as an air show sometime in the summer!

Re: Day trips from Edmonton
 

Where has she gone? What has driven her out?

Re: Day trips from Edmonton
 

Sorry dbd, didnt you know?

She headed north to Stettler\Donalda region. Apparently she needs more space to roam? (Rumour has\had it there's a paddock and some equines on the horizon but you didnt hear that from me)

Re: Day trips from Edmonton
 

I know nuffink. I can understand her wanting a paddock to roam in but sharing it with equines seems a bit odd.

[QUOTE=diane123;7453738]yes very much, the taxes are higher, but i think generally most would agree its reflected in the better services we enjoy. property prices tend to be on a par with edmontons better areas. it is much quieter, the top end of the city being the nicer neighbourhoods, erin, north, deer ridges and oakmount.
