CHECK OUT MOTOR NIGHTS
After a super successful launch in Calgary last year, Curiocity (us) has finally been able to bring Motor Nights to Edmonton!

We don’t mess around when it comes to fun, folks!

Where: Beaumont and District Agricultural Society Fairgrounds, 24358 Township Rd 505, Leduc County, AB

GET OUTTA TOWN
Are you lucky enough to take a few weekdays off for a little RnR? First off, lucky. Second, we recently created a guide to some of our very favourite camping spots across the province. Mountains, woodlands, prairies… you name it, and we probably have an option for you.

GO BE COOL IN THE POOL

FINALLY RETURN TO THE MUTTART CONSERVATORY
After just under 2 years of waiting, the Muttart Conservatory has reopened to the public!

But hey, they’re back just in time for summer, so we’re not complaining.
When: Now open!
Where: 9626 96a St NW
Tickets: $14.95 for GA
OR EVEN THE ROYAL ALBERTA MUSEUM
The Muttart Conservatory isn’t the only thing that’s getting the public back. The Royal Alberta Museum is also reopening this week, and is looking forward to welcoming curious minds young and old alike once more! If we run into some less than stellar weather this week, this is our top pick.
When: Reopens Wednesday, June 16th
Where: 9810 103a Avenue NW
Cost: Varies
CHECK OUT AN ART WALK
The Whyte Avenue Art Walk returns this month! This year is going to be a slightly different format, with artists setting up inside the old Army & Navy building for you to check out. Head down one weekend to check out all the amazing local art Edmonton has.
When: On throughout the week
Where: 10411 82 Avenue NW
Cost: Free to attend!
SEE WHAT’S NEW AT THE ZOO
For the first time since it officially reopened, the Edmonton Valley Zoo is letting people check out the indoor exhibits! We love the zoo no matter what, but we’re super pumped that we can check out the weirder/more tropical animals chilling around down there.

GO SEE A MOVIE
Yes, that’s right, you can actually go watch a movie in a theatre this weekend. Cineplex has reopened all of their theatres across Alberta, and are eager to get movie fans back in their seats!

When: Showtimes throughout the weekend
Where: Cineplex locations around Edmonton
Cost: Varies
SEE IF YOU HAVE A FEAR OF HEIGHTS
Ready to find your aerial limit? The Snow Valley Aerial Park has now reopened for the summer! This beloved local attraction is a great way to get outside this summer. And as an extra bonus, two more attractions are set to open this year as well- a mining experience, and a target golf area!
When: Now open!
