"Central Social Hall has two convenient locations: downtown Edmonton and St. Albert. And, best of all, brunch is available all day, every day through either the regular menu (Monday – Friday) or the specialty weekend brunch menu, exclusively reserved for Saturdays and Sundays (oh, and did we mention the selection of expertly crafted brunch cocktails?)."

"As a local success story, we’re proud to add this one to the list. First founded in west Edmonton in 2002, the Canadian Brewhouse has since expanded to dozens of locations across the country. In short, their two-storey roof top patios aren’t just popular here in Edmonton, they’re a favourite among Canadians from coast to coast!"

"Perfectly situated in the heart of downtown Edmonton, is Rocky Mountain Ice House. It's one of the best spots to stop for a beverage after a morning of outdoor shopping along 104th Street. The city literally goes out of its way to make sure patios like this one expand in the summer, adding an extended boardwalk out into the street.Must Try: The Jasper Ave."

"Rocky Mountain Ice House runs its patio year-round, and if you ask me, it’s most magical through the winter months. Picture twinkle lights and patio heaters combined with great music: perfect!. You’ll find them at 10516 Jasper Ave."

"It’s no mystery, Sherlock Holmes Pub has a patio seat and a cold beer with your name on it. This classically British food joint joins Craft Beer Market and Tres Carnales on Rice Howard Way. It's known as a great spot to get bangers and mash pit on your downtown weekend patio hop.Must Try: Fish and Chips"

"Tucked away amid the skyscrapers and office towers on Rice Howard Way, Sherlock Holmes Pub is nothing short of a downtown staple. Sample bona fide British fare, enjoy a pint or two and take in the exciting atmosphere on one of the most popular patios in town."

"El Cortez is quickly becoming famous for its distinct character and amazing (authentically Mexican) food. Located just off Whyte Ave near the Old Strathcona Farmer’s Market, hungry (and thirsty) visitors to this one-of-a kind establishment have their pick of not one, not two, but THREE unique patios. Did we mention they’re dog-friendly, too?"

"Filled with neon lights, bursts of colour and a bit of moody lighting, this is a great spot to sit down and get to know your date. The food is delicious, and so are their drinks. The brick interior is a vibe, and in the summertime the splashy patio is a cute spot to hang too."

"The Edmonton Valley Zoo is of a very manageable size (it’s a fraction of the size of the Calgary Zoo). Highlights include snow leopards, Arctic wolves, lemurs, and (my personal favourite) red pandas. Your kids will be happy to know that there’s a petting zoo inside, as well as several play areas and structures to climb."

"Home to more than 100 exotic, endangered and native species. Tigers, elephants, zebras, red pandas and more. Little ones can ride the small train to the children’s zoo, hop-on the carousel or ride the paddleboats around the pond."

"Those cute animals will always cheer you up if you're feeling down (the Edmonton Valley Zoo has more than 350), and in the winter, they've got a spectacular light show that makes braving the cold more than worth it."

"CafeRista opened in September 2010 with the mission to spread good local espresso, locally roasted artisan coffee and fresh food to Edmonton’s West End. They are a family owned and operated business who pride themselves in being integrated in the community where they operate. They have worked with our roasters to source out coffee that is reasonably priced, environmentally friendly, and locally roasted."

"Officially opening in 1913 as a residence for Alberta’s Lieutenant Governors, Government House was designed by Architect R.P. Blakey under the direction of A.M. Jeffers, Chief Architect of the Alberta Legislature Building, and constructed by the Department of Public Works. Designed in the Jacobean Revival style with Scottish Baronial elements, the three story sandstone building is grand in scale with asymmetrical façades, decorations, bay windows, balconies, and high gabled roofs with dormers."

"Probably your first thought when you see this structure, and the Government House is definitely that. Granted, it was originally built to house the Lieutenant Governors of Alberta but has since been repurposed to use for things such as Government ceremonial events, conferences and more. This would make for a great shooting location due to the Jacobean style of the building, something rarely seen in Edmonton."

"This opulent mansion was the former residence of the lieutenant governor but is now used for government conferences and receptions. It is steeped in history and immaculately preserved – you'd never guess it's..."

"The most recent addition to Edmonton's downtown architectural tapestry is the Rogers Place arena, designed by HOK in association with Architecture Tkalcic Bengert and Dialog and constructed by PCL Construction Management. Featuring “dynamic flowing lines, evocative of snow drifts and the dynamism of hockey,” this landmark building is home to the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers, a hockey and entertainment arena that connects to the Ice District through a pedway that crosses 104 Avenue. Designed and constructed to achieve LEED® Silver certification, Rogers Place is considered “the finest arena anywhere in the world” and is a leader in sustainable design and construction and includes a community ice rink, a casino and a restaurant."

"For sports fanatics, Edmonton is home to one of the most iconic NHL teams – the Edmonton Oilers. Once known as the “City of Champions”, the Edmonton Oilers had one of the top dynasties to ever play in the NHL, including players like Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Juri Kurri, and many others. They won 5 Stanley Cups in a period of just 6 years."

"Why you need to go: Rogers Place is well worth every penny that was spent on its construction. Not only do the infamous Edmonton Oilers now have a new home, but our great city can also welcome a ton of artists looking to tour in Alberta; talk about exciting!"

"With a capacity of sixty thousand people, the Commonwealth stadium is a perfect venue for enjoying world-class events like major sports and concerts. The highlight of the park is the combination of bright green and golden yellow seats that look perfectly contrasting with the lush green lawn. There are twin tier grandstands on each side and single tier stands on the corners and end zones of the...Read more"
