West Edmonton Mall, Shopping center in Edmonton, Canada.
The retail complex extends across 490,000 square meters (5,273,000 square feet) and houses more than 800 stores, service providers, and entertainment facilities distributed across multiple floors with indoor and outdoor sections.
The Ghermezian family opened the retail center in September 1981 and expanded the property through four construction phases until 1999, progressively adding entertainment zones and additional retail areas.
The complex serves as a social meeting point for local residents and visitors who combine leisure activities with retail experiences and spend several hours regardless of outdoor weather conditions.
The property offers 32,000 parking spaces, opens daily from 10 AM to 9 PM, and provides digital navigation tools while public transportation serves multiple stops near the building.
The complex houses Galaxyland, Canada's first Hasbro theme park, plus World Waterpark featuring an indoor surf facility and a wave pool capable of generating swells up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) high.
