It’s nearly turkey time again but before we stuff our faces with cranberry sauce and pie, we’ve got some housekeeping to do. Whether you’re hoping to do some errands or need to do some last-minute shopping before dinner on Monday, it’s important to know what to expect in and around the city, so – without further adieu, here’s everything that will be open and closed on Thanksgiving in Edmonton.
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!
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.
Lions and tigers and bears (oh my!) – the Edmonton Valley Zoo will also be open this Monday and makes a great family outing, especially for those with kids!
Where: 13315 Buena Vista Road
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.
Need milk or have been put in charge of a last-minute beer run? You’re in luck. Though (again) we’d recommend checking your local stop hours, most liquor and grocery stores will be open this Monday.
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.
Where: 11211 142 St NW, Edmonton
This Monday you will be able to visit a few Edmonton museums like the Royal Alberta Museum and The Neon Sign Museum, though we’d recommend checking your chosen locations hours before heading out.
A little Thanksgiving road trip? Why not? One of our favourite spots is the U of A Botanic Garden – which offers acres of incredible landscaping and makes a great destination for those who crave a relaxed day outside.
Where: 51227 AB-60, Parkland County
While transit will be operational on Monday, October 10th, Trains and buses will run on their Sunday schedule, so plan accordingly, folks!
Whether it’s an Amazon return or an invitation – it’ll have to wait! This Labour Day (and every stat holiday) the post office will be closed.
Plan ahead Edmonton! This Thanksgiving, some city-owned pools, as well as fitness and rec centres will be open, while others will be operating with reduced hours. For more information, check out the city’s website here,
While grocery and convenience stores will be open, Costco will be unshoppable this Monday. Looks like you’ll have to get your massive hot dog fix before Labour Day!
But there you have it, friends. Everything that’s open/closed this Thanksgiving in Edmonton. Please be sure to double-check the hours of operation no matter where you’re headed and enjoy the day! Here’s to food, fun and family.
