What is good to know if travelling to Edmonton?

• Take your picture with Wayne Gretzky, sadly just the statue of the greatest hockey player of all time. It stands outside Rexall Place. Cast in bronze, Gretsky is holding aloft the Stanley Cup which he won four times with the Oilers.
• During the summer months, watch Movies on the Square, Churchill Square, on a three-story tall inflatable movie screen.
• Get lost in a corn maze. The Edmonton Corn Maze is located just minutes from West Edmonton in Parkland County. The maze covers six hectares and there are more than 3 miles of trails in the maze. The corn will grow to almost three metres, but there are two bridge lookouts to help the lost find themselves. On average it will take about an hour to get through the maze, although it can be done in as little as 20 minutes.
• Four glass pyramids dot the landscape in the east of the city. The Muttart Conservatory is an Edmonton landmark.
