Discovery Canyon Opens for the Season June 1, 2026

Summer is just around the corner, and that means one thing - Discovery Canyon is ready to welcome visitors back for another season of outdoor fun.

Discovery Canyon is a go-to day from Edmonton, just ninety minutes outside of the city, blending water park with the laid-back vibe of a riverside picnic. The draw for this summer adventure is the river slide, where you can float along on tubes and enjoy a relaxing ride under the sun.

The sandy shoreline provides a safe, shallow area for younger kids to splash and play, while nearby green spaces provide the perfect space to spread out a blanket, enjoy a picnic while the kids are sliding down the tubing course. Don’t skip the playground, for some non-water fun!
