Bike the trails

If your kids like to ride bikes, Edmonton is the perfect place to hit the trails, just make sure to visit during the summertime when the trails are free of snow and the sun is shining. The River Valley trail is one of the best in the city, featuring over 150 kilometres of trails to explore. One part of this trail that is easy to do with kids starts at Kinsmen Park and rides northeast. Bike along the river for about 4km stopping to get ice cream and play in one of the many parks that await you. Another great ride for families is in Srathcona Science Park where you can choose to ride on the trails or the gravel road. There is also a single track that older kids can try out, as well as a boardwalk trail. Or step out of your comfort zone and let the kids try their hand at the Devon Bike Park. Broadmoor Lake is another great option to bike with kids especially if you have young ones that still use training wheels as the paths are nicely paved. Also here is a great playground in case the kids need a break from biking.
