How do Group Programs work?
Group Programs are a great way to explore Fort Edmonton Park with larger groups of kids.
How can I book multiple classes?
You can book up to 30 students and 8 adults per class. Please note that if you are booking multiple courses, you must register for a separate booking.
Are teachers and chaperones free?
Yes, teachers and chaperones are free! We allow a maximum of 8 adults per group of 30 students.
How far in advance do I need to book Group Programming?
Bookings are closed ten days in advance of the day of the occurrence. We recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
Is there a designated lunch spot?
Classes can bring packed lunches. Several outdoor eating spaces are available throughout the Park (Gyro Park, 1920s Street, Indigenous Peoples Experience, etc). Please note that they are first come, first serve.
Alternatively, there are four dining options available throughout the Park.
What is your cancellation policy?

Please do not attend the program if your group has an illness or suspected illness.
When do I have to pay?
Payment is due upon booking of the program.
Will my trip run if it is raining?
Programs run rain or shine; please dress for the weather!
What is the maximum number of students per program?
The maximum group amount is 30 students; teachers and adults are additional to this number.
What to wear?
Wear comfortable clothes with layers, as Fort Edmonton Park can get chilly any time of year. We recommend closed-toed shoes as well.
What to bring?
Dress for the weather! Please bring extra layers, a water bottle, snacks and/or lunch (depending on program time) and an excitement to learn and explore!
Special requirements
Please let us know in advance if your group has any students with any of the following:
- Learning disabilities
- Physical disabilities
- Medical conditions (including any allergies)
- Behavioural issues
This information will help us make your program the best it can be for all your learners.
Code of Conduct
- We encourage students to raise their hands when wanting to join the discussion.
- Stick to the trails, sideways, and pathways. Only cross tracks at designated crossings. Railway lines are private property, and walking on them constitutes trespassing and unsafe. The only safe, legal place to cross a rail line is at a marked grade crossing.
- Running is not permitted.
- The artifacts on display are for viewing only. The interpreter will grant permission if certain artifacts can be touched.
- Please respect boundaries such as ropes, fences, and signs to protect sensitive areas and keep the students safe.
Teachers and other adult guardians are responsible for student discipline.
Is bus parking available?
Bus parking is available for drop-off and pick-up only. Please have your bus enter the Fort Edmonton Park parking lot bus loop from the main Fort Edmonton Park Road. Once your school is unloaded, follow the path to the Front Entry Plaza. For chaperones, we recommend carpooling.
Please advise your bus drivers that parking is limited on a first-come-first-serve basis. If your bus plans to park at our main lot, please email info@fortedmontonpark.ca so we can make arrangements.
I still have questions after reviewing this FAQ and your Booking Policies.
