Things to do on a rainy day in Edmonton
See All Lists
1. Golfdome
The Golf Dome is that big, white bubble on the southside which you can see for miles in all directions. I love going to the Dome on a Friday with my boyfriend's friends. It's a good place to grab a beer after work and either play some virtual golf or…More »
2. Muttart Conservatory
Edmonton, AB T6C 4L8
(780) 496-8755
Categories:
Landmarks & Historical Buildings,
Botanical Gardens
I love the Muttart. If you're new to Edmonton and have wondered what those glass pyramids are shining in the river valley, go check it out. Or if you've lived in Edmonton all your life but never made it there, you don't know what you're missing. It's…More »
3. Carol's Quality Sweets
When was the last time you felt like a kid in a candy store? Here, you can't help it. At Carol's sweet shop there is wall-to-wall candy. Even if you don't have a sweet tooth, just wandering through the place is colour therapy. You'll recognize some…More »
4. Padmanadi Vegetarian Restaurant
This is one of the only vegetarian restaurants in the city I've been to, and the only one with a distinctly Asian flare. There's a Buddhist feel to this place, and the cuisine is typical of the kind of diet a Buddhist or yogi might adhere to. The…More »
5. Cosafina
I finally made it into Cosafina and it's just as expensive as I thought it would be. If money grew on the trees in my yard (and if I had a yard) I'd fill my home with beautiful things from this store. Everything is so rich, elegant and refined, with…More »
6. Burlington-On-Whyte
I love the smell of this place. I almost wish I smoked a pipe, because the loose pipe tobacco has such an amazing aroma. But I suspect, as I find with herbal teas, that it smells better than it tastes anyway. There's a real feel of exclusivity and…More »
7. Vertically Inclined Rock Gym
My boyfriend introduced me to the world of indoor climbing at Vertically Inclined. It was a great place to learn. For about $27, they rent you all the equipment you need - shoes, harness, chalk and a lesson to get you going. The staff are climbers…More »
8. City Arts Centre
I've taken a mosaic-making class here at the arts centre. It is an affordable space for local artists to rent out to host workshops. They have many rooms available where you can do arts and crafts, and there are lots of community postings for up and…More »
9. Blues On Whyte
Also known as The Commercial, this bar is legendary. Great musicians have played here and new bands have gotten their starts on the same stage. A long-time landmark in Old Strathcona, this blues bar (Edmonton's only, as far as I know) draws an…More »
10. Kolya Organic Skincare & Spa
The small spa located at the back of a health store is geared toward natural beauty treatments. They use organic skin products, and integrate the holistic, mind-body philosophy into their services. I found the front receptionist lovely to deal with,…More »
11. Wee Book Inn
It seems there's a Wee Book Inn in every corner of the city, but this is the location I like to pop into the most. I dig any used book shop but this one has some great finds and high turn-over, so when you come in you never know what you're gonna…More »
12. Eastglen Leisure Centre
This is my favourite public pool. It's in my neighbourhood and it's never all that busy, so it's great for lane swims. Unfortunately, right now it's closed for renos, until end of Oct/2008. Apparently work needs to be done that has been neglected for…More »
13. Edmonton Public Library - Riverbend Branch
I've been to this library a couple of times and really liked it. I was searching for old newspaper articles and found their periodical section very orderly, and easily found what I was looking for. Like most libraries, it's quiet here, but the nice…More »
14. Telus World of Science Gift Shop
I always had a thing for gift shops. I could be anywhere, Niagara Falls, the ocean, The Eiffle town, in a desert, and if there's a gift shop around in the area you can't keep me from browsing for useless kitsch. Even at the Telus World of Science,…More »
15. Tu Gallery
If you're looking for an original art piece for your home or office or a special gift, Tu Gallery has some beautiful work with stellar local craftsmanship. There are paintings, scuptures, carvings, furniture, blown glass, metal work and more. It is a…More »
16. Plaza Bowl
I'm not a frequent bowler, but I came here once and had a lot of fun. It is a five-pin and it wasn't very busy, even though there are 16 lanes. The alley has a dive feel. It's not flashy, like other bowling places I've been to. But it'll do the trick…More »
17. Three Bananas Cafe
First off, I love the name of this cafe. Itâs so whimsical. Itâs not easy for cafes to make a go of it right downtown unless theyâve got character and value. Otherwise people just hits Starbucks or Second Cup because itâs close and they know it. I…More »
18. Ice Palace
I always thought it was super cool that you could skate inside a mall in the middle of summer, but if you skate like me then maybe it's better to be in the middle of a frozen lake away from so many spectators. I fell on my face a lot here, as…More »
19. The Metro
The metro's a good place if you like pool. There are lots of tables here, but you pay by the hour, and it's not cheap. I prefer a place where you can go for a bite to eat and a drink, then pop a loonie in the table if you want to play a game or two.…More »
20. The ARTery
The ARTery is part art gallery, part lounge, part artisan studio, part creative social space. It is a co-creation of many artists in the community, and there's always something new going on there. I've see artwork exhibited in the gallery space -…More »
