World Waterpark Overview:
Long before Wisconsin Dells ushered in the new wave of indoor water park resorts, folks were enjoying the slides and attractions at the World Waterpark in the West Edmonton Mall--even during Alberta's notoriously brutal winters. Although many of the newer water park resorts make various claims about being the largest, the Canadian original is still North America's largest indoor water park. For more info, see A Lotta Water: Who Has Wisconsin Dells' Biggest Water Park? The cavernous park offers a bunch of slides and rides to satisfy guests of all ages and thrill-tolerance levels, including the Sky Screamer speed slide, the Raging Rapids action river, and kiddie bumper boats. The enormous wave pool is the world's largest--indoors or outdoors. Among the World Waterpark's newer attractions is Tropical Typhoon, a "toilet bowl" ride which sends folks swishing around the perimeter of a bowl and then getting flushed out the center into a splash pool. The West Edmonton Mall also includes Galaxyland, an indoor amusement park, indoor mini golf, a skating rink, an aquarium, and other attractions, as well as on-site hotels and, of course, scads of shops, stores, and restaurants.
