The city recommends that you use the LRT and ETS services instead of taking your personal vehicle. Traffic is expected to be incredibly congested, just as it is every year prior.
This is an extremely busy day for Edmontonians. Those not attending, but planning driving, expect major traffic delays. Those attending any of the attractions, except long lineups and leave nice and early.
You can visit a number of attractions throughout the day if you plan your day correctly.
Most importantly, those planning on taking part in Free Admission Day, I hope you and your families have a great time!
