Things to do in Edmonton with kids

395 dated listings for school-age kids in Edmonton in the next 60 days — after-school, camps, courses and youth sports, pulled from the town's real event feed and sorted by age, not by who paid to be first.

Kids life in Edmonton — the short version

If you're raising kids in Edmonton, this is the page that keeps up. Between Oct 7 and Dec 5, Edmonton's feed lists 395 dated listings for this age — 18 different programs, covering after-school, camps, courses and youth sports. Most of it runs at Lois Hole Library (28) and Shelley Milner Children's Library (26).

Everything here is a real listing from Edmonton's own event feed, checked against each program's age range — a program whose ages overlap 5–12 shows up here even if it also fits the age next door. The library branches showing up for this age are Abbottsfield Library and Lois Hole Library.

By the numbers for this age in Edmonton: 395 dated listings in the next 60 days; 129 run after school on a weekday and 143 land on a weekend; the busiest single venue is Lois Hole Library with 28 of them.

On cost: none of these listings carries a free tag in Edmonton's feed, so treat prices as check-the-listing — libraries and rec centres often run these at no cost, but the feed doesn't say so and we won't guess.

Common questions

What's on in Edmonton for school-age kids right now?

Are these drop-in, or do I need to register?

It varies by program, and the page only says which is which where a listing's own words say so — the Good to know section names the drop-in and registration listings it found. When it doesn't say, the listing link is the place to check.

What's free for school-age kids in Edmonton?

None of the current listings carries a free tag in the feed, so check each listing for its price — we don't mark anything free that the source doesn't.
