Rides & Transportation
Strollers on the Train & Streetcar
The train and streetcar in Fort Edmonton Park are historical vehicles and cannot safely accommodate wagons or many newer types of strollers. Allowable strollers should be a maximum size of 122 centimetres (48") long by 60 centimetres (24") wide, lightweight and must be foldable.
Fort Edmonton Park strives to balance the safety and security of all its customers with the enjoyment of the Park and appreciates your cooperation.
Amusements
Test your shooting skills in the Shooting Gallery, play a game of Tom Thumb Miniature Golf or experience the excitement or a real 1920's-style midway.
- Shooting Gallery—Test your shooting skill and accuracy in this turn of the century shooting gallery. Listen to the player piano, and try out the historical arcade machines.
- Tom Thumb Miniature Golf—All the rage in the 1920s, miniature golf is challenging and relaxing. Play a game with the whole family or get in a quick nine on your own.
- Midway & Exhibition—Ride the beautiful hand-carved horses on the carousel, soar to the heavens on the Ferris wheel, and test yourself with games of skill. Experience the excitement of a real 1920s-style midway. Tickets for all of the amusements can be purchased at the admissions centre or at on-site stores.
Transportation
Take a ride into the past on the Edmonton, Yukon and Pacific Railway, Original Streetcars, Buggy Rides, Wagon Rides, Stagecoach or Pony Rides.
- Edmonton, Yukon & Pacific Railway—Your admission includes unlimited rides on the steam train, which will take you from the front entrance Train Station to the Fort and return. Be sure to have a good look at the locomotive, which was built in Pennsylvania in 1919. Free of charge.
- Railway Caboose—The caboose is wheelchair accessible. The train conductor can assist with boarding. Free for wheelchair patrons.
- Streetcar—Your admission includes rides on the streetcars, which ride the rails to 1905 and 1920 streets. The Edmonton Radial Railway Society restores and maintains all of the Park’s streetcars. Free of charge.

- Wagon Rides—The rides start at McDougall’s general store on 1885 Street. This quiet, scenic loop past the pond and the Fort takes about 10 minutes.
- Stagecoach—Until 1891, the stagecoach was the only commercial mans of transportation betweenCalgary and Edmonton. In 1885, the trip could last five days, but our own stagecoach takes about 10 minutes to travel through history on 1885 Street.
