Alberta Legislature Building Interpretive Centre & Gift Shop, Alberta Railway Museum in edmonton

Alberta Legislature Building Interpretive Centre & Gift Shop : Surrounded by parks and commanding a fine view of the river, the Legislature Building was opened in 1912. Its architecture is beaux-arts style, reflecting Alberta's confidence in the future. Educational videos and various events take place during the year. Gifts, souvenirs, and local crafts may be purchased at the centre's gift shop. Your tour will commence from the Interpretive Centre and gift shop. You will find the building itself by the river across from Victoria Park, just south of downtown. For staying in Edmonton select only cheap hotels in Edmonton.

Alberta Railway Museum : This train-lover's museum is out on the northeastern limits of the city, near Fort Road. However, if the golden age of steam is for you, it is well worth the visit. See a restored railway station, bunk house, water tower, and fire hall. There is a working steam train that you can ride on, and another is in the process of being restored along with numerous carriages, cars, and railway artifacts. During the summer holiday weekends, why not ride a passenger train?
