No matter what time of year it is, you can have a grand time when
you head to Galaxyland in Edmonton, Alberta. Located in West Edmonton Mall,
this largest indoor amusement park in North America offers nearly 30
space-themed rides and entertainment for all ages. Learn more about the rides
and attractions you can enjoy when you plan a trip to Galaxyland.
Rides for Thrill Seekers
When you're interested in heart-pounding thrills and action, you
need to check out the thrill rides at Galaxyland. Climb inside the Galaxy Orbiter to tour the entire park while
traveling over 1,500 feet of roller coaster track at high speeds that produce
upwards of 3.3 g-forces. If that's not enough speed for you, then you'll want
to take on Mind Bender. This is the world's largest indoor triple-loop roller
coaster, and it offers a maximum speed of 60 mph and upwards of 5.6 g-forces.
Rides for Young Children
While Galaxyland has plenty of excitement for older riders, it
also offers fun for the littlest thrill seekers in the family. The Dragon Wagon
is a pint-sized roller coaster designed for children between 36 and 55 inches
in height. The oval track offers a moderate speed, gentle climbs, and small
drops. Another great option for children ages 12 and under is the Galaxy Kids
Playpark. This multi-level play area is a socks-only environment that has
slides, bridges, ball pits, and climbing obstacles. Plus, the entire family can
enjoy a ride on the carousel or a walk through the fun house.
Other Attractions
In addition to rides, there are other attractions at Galaxyland
that test your skills and provide plenty of fun. Ropes Quest is a three-story
ropes course with various obstacles to complete while suspended above the
ground. You'll also find Rock 'N' Wall, an indoor climbing wall that has three
routes to the top.
Exciting Games
Along with an excellent selection of rides, Galaxyland also has an
impressive number of games for hours of fun. The arcade area has over 100 games
that range from enduring classics to brand new offerings. Pick up your arcade
card and swipe it at each game to play. The tickets you win automatically go on
the card, and you'll find plenty of great prizes when you redeem your tickets.
Galaxyland even has carnival-style wall games like water gun racing and balloon
popping where you can win awesome prizes.
Great Food Choices
If you start feeling hungry, Galaxyland has several spots where
you can recharge with a delicious snack. Stardust Mini-Doughnuts is located just
inside the main gate and serves up warm and sweet mini doughnut delights. You
can also cool down with a refreshing scoop of Dippin' Dots. Or head to Galaxy
Treats where you'll find sweet treats that include ice cream, popsicles,
chocolate bars, cotton candy, candy apples, and soft drinks.
Any time you're interested in exciting rides, fun games, and
delicious treats, you need to head to Galaxyland and explore all the
attractions available. It's also the perfect opportunity to take that new or used car you recently bought at Crosstown Chrysler Jeep Dodge out for a drive when on the way to West Edmonton Mall!
