A cosmopolitan city of over 36,000 people, Grande Prairie boasts of all the big city conveniences combined with a variety of outdoor pursuits close by.
Two local highlights include the Grande Prairie museum with its 10 building homesteader village, another highlight is Muskoseepie Park which has hiking and bicycling trails, picnic sites, and lots of space to call your own. Visitors interested in local culture and artistry will want to check out the Prairie Gallery and those interested in fossils should take the short trip over to the Kleskun Hills.
