Edmonton mall




Has anybody been to the West Edmonton Mall, probably not because it is in Canada? Well, it is probably, not probably, but definitely the coolest mall I have ever set foot in. It has two stories; sounds normal, well not exactly. It stretches out for about a mile and has like two or three of each store. The mall has a map and on the map is a index in alphabetical order, so when you look at it there is a whole list with about 5 stores for the really popular ones listed right after another. There was like 6 McDonalds and 5 Arby’s. The mall has like four food courts so you are always close if you are hungry. I have been to the mall twice now; my cousins live in Edmonton so every time we go there we go to the mall. The first time I went we actually did stuff. The second time I just played glow-in-the-dark mini golf.
When my family and I were searching for the mall it wasn’t that hard to miss. They have 3 or 4 exits of the free way to get to it. We went in the amusement park entrance. The ceiling is about 300 feet high because it can’t be too low or the people riding the rollercoaster the size of colossus, with the double loop-de-loop, heads would smash against the ceiling. We walked through the park admiring all the rides. There were about as many as Lagoon, but all compacted into the biggest room ever, and this is all still INSIDE the mall.
There was laser tag, mini golf, bungi-jumping trampolines, oh, can’t forget my favorite part, the inside water park. I didn’t get to go and do anything because it did only cost 50$ per person for the day. The water park had a glass roof and about 30 water slides. There where water slides that funneled around and around until you fell out the bottom, there were tube water slides, there were water slides that went straight down for 100 feet, there were curly ones and a huge pool just like surf n’ swim with the waves and all. There was a brochure for the water park classifying the water slides by scary to non-scary. The water park made Lagoon-a –beach look like a backyard pool. The mall had its own pirated ship and a sea lion show. There was a submarine you could take a ride in. There were water crafts that you played water bumper cars. The mall had like 5 hotels and the pictures of them were awesome. There was an ice skate rink. And all of this is still INSIDE the mall. Now this is a mall worth going to. There is a ton of stuff to do besides shopping. If any of you ever go anywhere near Edmonton definitely go to the mall. These are some of the pictures of the mall.
