WEST EDMONTON MALL
What lies behind the walls of the West Edmonton Mall? There are
real submarines at the Deep-Sea Adventure; the world's largest
indoor amusement park; a National Hockey League-size rink where
the Edmonton Oilers occasionally practise; an 18-hole miniature golf
course; a waterpark complete with wave pool, waterslides, rapids,
bungee jumping and whirlpools; a casino, bingo room and North
America's largest billiard hall; fi ne dining on Bourbon Street; a life-
size, hand-carved and painted replica of Columbus's fl agship, the
Santa María
; replicas of England's crown jewels; a solid ivory pagoda;
bronze sculptures; fabulous fountains, including one fashioned after a
fountain at the Palace of Versailles; and, fi nally, the Fantasyland Hotel,
a lodging option that truly lives up to its name...and we almost forgot,
there are also some 800 shops and services—this is a mall after all!
