General admission runs around $26 for adults and $19 for youth, with children under 6 free. Check for reduced-price evening admission after 4 PM and consider the annual Edmonton Attractions Pass if you plan to visit multiple city sites.

Fatti rapidi: Covering 158 acres of river valley, this living history site brings four distinct eras of Western Canadian life to life through costumed interpreters. Visitors can ride a 1920s streetcar, explore a functioning 1905 fort, and grab a pint at an authentic 1920s Masonic Hall turned brewery.
Punti salienti: One of the streetcars running through the park is a restored 1912 Edmonton radial car that still carries passengers on original tracks. Even more surprising: the park's 1920s midway features a working 1926 merry-go-round with hand-painted horses, and the calliope music still plays from an original steam-powered organ.
Consigli da insider
- Arrive right when gates open and head straight to the 1846 Fort area first, as it gets busiest by mid-afternoon.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes: the park stretches over 158 acres and you'll easily log 8,000 to 10,000 steps exploring all four eras.
- Don't skip the Capitol Theatre: catch a 10-minute silent film short with live organ accompaniment in the beautifully restored 1920s cinema.
- The 1920s midway's candy shop sells old-fashioned treats by weight, so bring a few dollars for saltwater taffy or horehound drops.
