Another stat holiday? Already? You better believe it! This Monday government employees and shops all over the city will be closing early or taking the entire day off, so take note, friends, because nothing kills a vibe quicker than a locked door. Here is everything open and closed on Heritage Day in Edmonton – for your convenience.

OPEN

MOVIE THEATRES

Hoping to catch a flick this Monday? Landmark Cinemas and Cineplex locations across the city will all be open so pop some corn and settle in!

MALLS

Though we’d recommend checking their hours before heading out, West Edmonton Mall, Old Strathcona, Kingsway, Southgate Centre and Edmonton City Centre malls will be open.

EDMONTON VALLEY ZOO

What’s new at the zoo? Well, in addition to their regular programming and the adorable exhibits, you can check out some stunning Lego art as well!

EDMONTON-OWNED GOLF COURSES

Time to swing the sticks! Edmonton’s municipal golf courses will also be open this holiday Monday, alongside some driving ranges for those not willing to devote 4 hours of their day to get out. Enjoy!

Want something that requires a little less commitment? Some of the best bowling alleys in the city will be open, whether you’re after 5-pin or 10.

GROCERY & LIQUOR STORES

Having a BBQ? Need milk or need to do a last-minute beer run before you head to your campsite? You’re in luck. Though (again) we’d recommend checking your local stop hours, most liquor and grocery stores will be open this Friday.

Science rules! Especially when you get to check out some amazing family-friendly exhibitions and then maybe treat yourself to a movie inside the IMAX, or a little light show in the Zeidler Dome.

While grocery and convenience stores will be open, Costco will be unshoppabe this Monday. Looks like you’ll have to get your massive hot do fix before Heritage Day!
