But first, a little background...

The story of Grande Prairie, Alberta Canada is one of bountiful farmland and award-winning wheat and Timothy seed. The story continues with the rich oil and gas deposits that have allowed Grande Prairie to remain a vibrant and growing community of 68,556 people, give or take a few. Each has a story to share and every one of us can't wait to show off our home. 

If you’d like to live like a local while you’re in town, let the Pomeroy Hotel & Conference Centre Grande Prairie be your base of operations for exploring Grande Prairie’s countless treasures. For your convenience, we’ve compiled a list of our favourite attractions and fun things to do in Alberta, Canada.

You’ll have your choice of three championship golf courses: Bear Creek Golf Club, Dunes Golf & Winter Club and Grande Prairie Golf & Country Club. For outdoor adventurers, there’s nothing quite like the Wapiti Nordic Centre, which offers more than 40 kilometres of exhilarating cross-country skiing and hiking trails. Named in honour of the Cree term for “Bear Creek,” Muskoseepi Park is a postcard-perfect locale for bird watching, picnics, mini-golf and hiking. It is also home to Grande Prairie Museum and Heritage Village, where photos and other artefacts bring our community’s history to vivid life.

For adventures of a more urban sort, there are award-winning restaurants and eclectic nightclubs where you can dance the night away. Or you can try your luck at the Great Northern Casino, which offers exciting poker, table games and slots, a stylish lounge and world-class live entertainment. 

You can also join Grande Prairie locals at play at vibrant festivals such as the Grande Prairie Stompede and the Summer Slam baseball tournament. If you need to satisfy your shopping fix, see why Grande Prairie Mall has made our city the “Shopping Capital of the North.”
