Alberta Legislature Grounds

It was good we went to go see the lights at Christmas time. It was good but not what I remember. There was construction all over the place. It was a really great date. We just walked around and took in the ambiance.

We had a pleasant and safe walk through the grounds at dusk in October. Everywhere was well lit. It was quiet. We saw two or three other small groups walking around.

The steps to the Legislature building were blocked off due to construction.

An impressive and beautiful building surrounded by a lovely urban park. A must visit in Edmonton

We walk there 2-3 times a week. Beautiful grounds, the staff are really taking care of the landscape. Very quiet.

Amazing ambience, great place to attend concerts, visit the legislature museum. A very centre of the town vibe surrounded by parks and walking area.

Well kept, wouldn't walk alone at night. Neat facilities underground including a museum and some stuff. And of course, you can go watch your elected public officials do their thing.

Was very nice and was a very awesome experience with talking to the people that are staying there and listening to the drumming and singing from the native singers and I stand 110 % with these people and for what they are standing up for cause they are standing up for all of us and are rights as humans. I wish I could be there with them. STAY STRONG AND DONT BAVK DOWN.

Christmas lights at the legislature are wonderful, even on a cold, cold night. But why have we cut back on them so much?

This is always a favourite place of mine to visit in the winter. The lights are magnificent in the snow, and the music quietly playing makes it just magical. The Ledge has some construction going on or something though, so don't count on getting awesome pics with it in the background.

Road my one wheel here for a group ride on one wheels and EUC's. Would've been nice if the fountains had water in them to cool off a bit in the summer time but maybe they'll be on next year.

Beautiful grounds, plenty of parking, safe place (monitored by video surveillance). Only problem is that the building is under major restorations and one cannot appreciate its full beauty.

Went there for a picnic it was a beautiful place to visit and walk around and talk with a special friend

Legislature on construction 24/7, kinda ruins it a bit. The view’s nice though, so I’ll give two extra stars for that.

My son loves riding his bike there during the summer.

This year we miss the water fountains

The wading pools were under construction but we were still able to enjoy the geysers. Great time. Plus it was a perk to find free parking

I currently hate that the fountains are off and the building seems like it's constantly under construction. We used to love the fountains, first as a kid, then with my own children. I feel like they need to add more grout and fix some if the water features.

I do love the grounds though. It's well maintained, with beautiful, unique flowers and plants. So for grounds 5 stars but I miss the fun fountains!

Even though there’s a lot of restoration stuff happening it’s still beautiful and clean and fun

I have been taking my kids here since they were babies and we still go here as a family to have fun even though they are young adults now. It is the perfect place to go to take great family pictures. Highly recommend this place for all ages!

It's nice when the fountains are on or the lights at night. Always great for a stroll with the pupper

Washrooms are an issue, especially during covid.
Otherwise, the grounds are beautiful and it's a great place to spend a sunny day.

Still under construction and the larger fountains were turned off. Still lots of places for pics and just hanging out

Beautiful grounds, the government needs to get the fountains going, especially during such a hot summer.

Well kept, wouldn't walk alone at night. Neat facilities underground including a museum and some stuff. And of course, you can go watch your elected pubic officials do their thing.

Great for picnics, smoking pot, reading and scootering around. During winter I recommend taking dates here, for they light it up.

I attended an Indigenous event behind the legislature building. There's a big open space surrounded by huge trees in the shape of a circle with an open stage at one end. It's a really beautiful setting; and really well maintained!

My first powwow and it won't be my last. A peaceful gathering on a gorgeous day. Lots of trees so shade was plentiful to protect from the heat wave.

Great location to get some sun! Lots of room to for outdoor activities like playing frisbee or catch with a group of friends. There is often events going on as well as a protest every so often.

Clean, well kept. Good place for enjoying company with friends or family. Would've liked if the fountains were on. Pleasant experience.

This is the Alberta Legislative Assembly Building and grounds here in Edmonton. There are many places where you can park your vehicle most of them are park and pay. Every year its decorated beautifully for Christmas but this year I believe due to renovation the building was not decorated. But as usual the grounds had many lights. The single massive Christmas tree was well decorated with reindeers on the ground. The grounds are peaceful to walk. Before the covid19 restrictions public were allowed to go into the building. The building is quite old but very well maintained.

I'm sure this place would be nice to visit during the milder months, but we couldn't really walk around too long during our most recent visit because of the freezing temperature. Anyway, nice views from the Capitol Plaza terrace, especially of the legislative building with its eye-catching dome. And they really know how to dress up the grounds for the holidays! Very colorful and festive. Paid parking was mostly hassle free.

Take the guided tour if you're not from this place. You'll learn a thing a two about Alberta, and the tour guides are fantastic!

Beautiful place to go for a stroll. Evening scenery is better than daytime in my opinion. You get different perspective from daytime and evening though. My girlfriend and I hold this place close to our hearts.

Nicely treed, green, and brightly lit up for Christmas. Excellent place to sit and relax on a warm day around the fountain.

The receptionists helped me find the Official Documents office. One of them even went out to show me where I should go. Thank you so much! I wish you all the best.

A lovely place to go for a walk any time of year. Plus you can go check out the exhibits and a movie and they sometimes have other things to do all for free.

Had a chance to visit Alberta Legislature building. Full of history. If you are Albertan, need to visit atleast once

This is a great place to visit during festivals and holidays there always seems to be something going on and there are many places here to take cool photographs and get creative. Large open fields of grass with water fountains In the summer and beautiful gardens full of flowers. This place has concrete paths which means a wheelchair or elderly should have no issues getting around, there is a small hill from South to North side but should cause no issues. Bring a lunch and your camera if you choose to plenty of places to sit and relax a bit.

I visited this place on the eve of new year. The fireworks is a bliss to watch even though it was for a while. Enjoyed that moment pretty much

We went there for the New Year's Eve fireworks. Theres not much for parking so it's much easier to take the LRT to get in and out. The grounds are clean and well kept. They kept government buildings open to look around during the night before the fireworks and lots of other entertainment and food trucks, plus a couple bonfires to keep warm. We had a great time and would come back again next New Year's Eve.

Oh, this was the highlight of my week, for real. I went with a group of women and it was delightful. Our tour guide was really knowledgeable and patient with all our questions. But the best part was the 12 minute movie show at the end of the tour- a stunning 4D experience you cannot afford to miss.

This Is the only place in Edmonton that is out of the box. You will be surprised to see the legislative building and its a best place for the pre wedding shoot.

Awesome Place to Walk With The Family and Take Pictures


Beautiful View
Nice Flowers And Great People

Waited 2 hours for the fireworks very boring nothing to do should have a band going at have the new year's count down. Every other city has that except deadmonton

A beautiful building, capturing the heart of our province. The grounds are well kept, and full of activity all year round.

The guards wont let limousines on the grounds so my customers wedding party was forced to walk
Even though the grounds are for everyone to enjoy i guess this is only for those they like

It was my first time going here for the evening movie. My family enjoyed it. The complimentary popcorn and drinks made it look like the cinema style. The staff were friendly and courteous. I'll definitely go back again with my family.
