Group bonding: Get active with the gang in Edmonton

Désolé, le contenu de cette page est uniquement disponible en anglais.

If your weekend usually means more texts from your friends asking at which bar you’re planning on sitting around and drinking, maybe it’s time to switch it up. There are plenty of places around town to bond with your buds while keeping your heart rate up.

Axe Hole Indoor Axe Throwing

1
104-11614 119 Street NW, Edmonton AB T5G 2X7

If your friends are the constantly-planning-for-the-zombie-apocalypse type, then get them together and level up your hatchet-hucking skills. It’s not the cheapest outing around, but it’s damn sure one of the most fun. Plus, if you get enough people together, there are phenomenal group rates. It’s safer to face the end of the world as a group, right?

LaunchPad Trampoline Park

6142 50 St NW, Edmonton AB T6B 2N7

Like your childhood friends’ backyards multiplied by 100, Launchpad is an atmospheric good time that’s also a great way to ensure your friends with kids don’t feel excluded. But don’t get it twisted – adults are fully encouraged to bounce to new heights. There’s no shortage of activities, including a foam pit, ladder, basketball net and more. If your squad likes it, you can always sign up for the trampoline dodgeball league – yes, that’s a thing.

William Hawrelak Park

9330, Groat Rd NW, Edmonton AB T6G 2A8

If your friends are cheap, convince them to lace up and do some laps around the ice at Hawrelak Park. If you get there at the right time, you will be privy to hot dogs, hamburgers and sweet drinks – you know, the essentials – which you can enjoy by the fire pits. The ice quality varies depending on the weather, but it’s always well-maintained.

World Waterpark

8882 170 St NW, Edmonton AB T5T 4M2

Yeah, yeah, everyone hates the mall, but there’s no denying the awe-inducing, unadulterated fun to be found at the World Waterpark. There are almost 20 different slides, waves for days and some excellent play areas. For the people who prefer to chill, there are lounge chairs and a beachfront patio. If you’re brave enough, give the indoor bungee jump a shot.

If you need the perfect picture of joy, look no further than a dog in a park on a beautiful day – eyes lit up, tongue hanging out, tail keeping inconsistent time. Fortunately for your pup, Edmonton has acres of awesome park spaces.
Weddings - okay, wedding receptions - are fun, but not nearly as much fun as the bachelor parties. Stags are often hazy but always memorable, especially as the daylight wanes. But what about the day, when you need something fun to do for a gang of rowdy dudes looking to send their buddy off to a life of domesticity? Edmonton and area has you covered.
Not only is our city packed with talented musicians, there are also several joints to catch them putting on a show. These are Edmonton’s most reliable places you can just walk right into any night of the week and likely find good live music.
