What's New in Alberta's Cities - Edmonton and Calgary

15/3/2019

 
ROYAL ALBERTA MUSEUM IN EDMONTON
After nearly three years of closure, the new Royal Alberta Museum  has opened in its new location in downtown Edmonton. With twice as much space as the former location, visitors can see an ice age mammoth replica or check out a 1,700 year-old roasting pit excavated from the wonderfully named Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump.

BUNGY ADVENTURE
Experience the latest adrenaline-filled adventure Free Fall at Winsport in Calgary, home of the 1988 Winter Olympics. From the new eight-storey platform you'll be fitted in a bungee-type harness. Jump off the platform and feel the sensation that's the closest thing you can get to skydiving as you free fall eight metres.
