Ravens' Valley Nature Retreat

This is a particularly good place to stay if you’re into golf – there are several courses in the area to try out, with Wildman Disc Golf Course (20 minutes’ drive) also close by if you’d like to try out something a bit different. In winter you’ll want to turn your attentions to the likes of snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling, all of which can be sorted locally. If you’ve got family members to entertain, plan days out at local attractions such as the Alberta Railway Museum (15 minutes), filled with old locomotives, and Jurassic Forest (20 minutes), where trails are lined with life-size models. A little further away is Sassy G’s Adventure Farm (45 minutes), which has animals to meet and obstacle courses to tackle. Edmonton (25 minutes) has plenty to offer, too – it's home to North America's largest mall and the huge River Valley Parks as well as several museums including the Royal Alberta Museum and Fort Edmonton Park. Edmonton also stages several festivals each year, so have a look to see what’s on while you’re in the area.
