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...
!!! Got to love wildlife huh!!?

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.

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
