University of Alberta Botanic Gardens

A short forty-minute drive from downtown Edmonton, this lush outdoor getaway is the largest botanical garden in Alberta. Open during the warmer months, and for select special events in the winter, this stunning park demands your attention. The winding pathways, precisely placed water features, and beautiful stone structures draw you through a cornucopia of exotic flora. Stop at the Kurimoto Japanese Garden, the new Aga Khan Garden, or step inside the Tropical Showhouse for a magical encounter amongst colourful butterflies. The temperate and arid showrooms and Native Peoples Garden is surrounded by hundreds of species of beautiful herbs, flowers, and ornamental vegetation. This award-winning attraction is a stunning destination for a remarkable experience.
