Got a free weekend in Swan City? Here's the itinerary we recommend at the front desk.
Saturday
Start with the hotel's hot breakfast, then drive 20 minutes west to the Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum — give it a full morning. Lunch in Wembley or back in the city, then walk the Bear Creek valley through Muskoseepi Park. In summer, add the farmers' market; in winter, swap in skating. Dinner is a short walk from the hotel, and if it's a clear cold night, drive ten minutes north of the city lights and look up — aurora season here is genuinely good.
Sunday
Morning swim and waterslide session at the hotel or the Eastlink Centre's FlowRider, browse Prairie Mall, then grab road snacks and roll out. Two days, zero boredom.
Book a two-queen room for the family or a jacuzzi suite to make it a proper getaway.
Staying in Grande Prairie? Enjoy free hot breakfast from 5:30 AM, an indoor pool with waterslide, free Wi-Fi and free parking at Holiday Inn Express Grande Prairie. Book direct through IHG or call 1-780-814-9446.
