What to do in Edmonton this Weekend with Kids | May 10-12

The warm weather is here and we can’t wait to get outside. First up this weekend is a trip to one of our favourite places to explore the outdoors, feeding small birds at Clifford E. Lee Nature Sanctuary. Then, it’s lunch with friends, playgrounds, and a weekend filled with exploring – maybe dropping into a bike safety program designed for kids (it’s free!) and celebrating Mother’s Day with the kids. 

Here’s what to do in Edmonton this weekend with Kids
