I hate Edmonton as much as the next guy, but you're kidding yourself if you think the mall isn't awesome, particularly in the cold climate we live in. I always make it up there for a weekend every winter and have a blast. Not saying this applies to you, but anybody I've ever known in real life that doesn't like WEM is a lame, no-fun kinda guy.
It just sucks it's in Edmonton. Calgary has no indoor equivalent. Our pools are a giant joke compared to what the mullets get. And Calaway Park is super fun, but it's only open six months a year. COP rules and the mountains are great, obviously, but not that fun during a -30 cold snap.

I don't mind West Edmonton Mall but I'm glad Calgary doesn't have it. It created a massive black hole for shopping and entertainment in Edmonton anywhere besides the mall. It's nice to visit every couple of years for a day or two but after that, meh.
It was amazing as a kid growing up in Fort McMurray though, truly. Always a fun time. And I wish Calgary had a big water park, something big something modern.
