Yeah, it is certainly well known out west. Back in the late 80s my mom and some aunts took me and my cousins to spend an entire week during spring break in the mall. Literally the entire week we never left the mall except to go downtown to catch the train home. It was 80s Western Canada nirvana... waterpark, amusement park, riding submarines, watching Gretzky and the Oilers practice on the rink, eating McDonald's, shopping, movies, the Fantasyland Hotel, it was an epic experience for 8 year old me.
I wouldn't necessarily want to repeat that but last spring I took my family to Edmonton and while we were there, we spent a day at the waterpark and a day at the amusement park... it was as big a hit as anything I've ever done with my kids.
