Kitsch lovers who can't afford the trip to Vegas might just be enchanted with West Edmonton Mall, while those less enamored by plastic plants and phony recreations of 15th-century galleons will hate it. Edmonton's urban behemoth has waterslides, an indoor wave pool, an amusement park, a skating rink, 800 retail stores and much more.
There are also mini-golf courses, a fake reef with a real sea lion and penguin, a petting zoo and a hotel. Make sure you note the exit on the way into this maze.
