Wagon & Pony Rides

Ride in style

Wagon Rides
Wagons pick up passengers in front of McDougall General Store. This quiet, scenic loop that goes past the pond and the Fort takes about 10 minutes.

Children under 12 are not permitted to ride alone.

Pony Rides
Our adorable hard-working ponies are pleased to take little visitors who want to experience the pioneer west for a ride at the Ottewell homestead farmyard. The well-being of our ponies is carefully monitored by our Pony Handlers and unscheduled breaks may be called from time to time.

Please speak with one of our Pony Handlers for information about breaks and wait times.

Vis-a-vis
Enjoy a Vis-a-vis ride around the park! This charming wagon ride is a delightful way to experience Fort Edmonton Park’s historic eras. Rides are available for groups of 4 and are 20 minutes long. 

These are available on limited days, so be sure to book in advance!
