Its history is brought to life through interpreters, costumes, museums, food, and more.

Where Dark Things Dwell\u00a0is the newest interactive experience where you and three others must search for clues and solve puzzles in order to lift an ancient curse that has driven the villagers of Edmonton to madness. Games occur at night with masked live actors in the shadowy confines of the park\u2019s historic buildings.<\/p>\n Where:\u00a0<\/strong>Fort Edmonton Park Victoria Kondysenko\/Shutterstock\u2502Harold Stiver\/Shutterstock<\/p>\n What:\u00a0<\/strong>Each Wednesday from 4 to 9 pm, you can explore the stunning and ever-changing displays of the conservatory\u2019s glass pyramids while sipping on a cocktail or two.
