点评:We visited the Alberta Legislature Building in November of 2025 with our 12 year old child. We were able to watch some of the sitting of the legislature and also registered ahead of time and participated in the formal guided tour. It was an excellent experience from start to finish.
The building itself is beautiful with so much history. It was very interesting to watch the Legislature in session, and helped to bring the concept to life for our child who had learned about it in school. While we were there, one of the MLA's from the opposition even saw her in the gallery and sent her a lovely note, delivered by a Page, acknowledging her presence and giving advice on cool stuff to see in the building.
The guided tour was great. Our guide was knowledgeable about Alberta’s history and the parliamentary process. They explained how the legislature works in a way that was easy to understand, even for those without a background in politics or Canadian government. The mix of history, architecture, and real life comings and goings happening while we were there kept the tour engaging.
The explanations of traditions, symbolism, and how laws are passed added a lot of depth and context to what could otherwise be just a walk through a nice building.
The tour was well paced and respectful and it never felt rushed. It’s a great activity for visitors to Edmonton, but also worthwhile for Albertans who want a better understanding of how their government works.
Overall, this is a free experience that is very valuable. I’d highly recommend taking the formal tour of the Alberta Legislature.
翻译:2025年11月,我们带着12岁的孩子参观了阿尔伯塔省议会大厦。我们不仅旁听了部分议会会议,还提前注册并参加了正式的导览游。从始至终,这都是一次非常棒的体验。
这座建筑本身就非常漂亮,蕴含着丰富的历史。观看议会开会非常有趣,也让孩子对在学校里学过的议会运作有了更生动的了解。参观期间,一位反对党议员在旁听席上看到了我们的孩子,并派人送了一张温馨的便条,感谢她的到来,还推荐了一些值得一看的景点。
导览游非常棒。我们的导游知识渊博,对阿尔伯塔省的历史和议会运作流程都非常了解。他们用浅显易懂的方式讲解了议会的运作,即使是对政治或加拿大政府一无所知的人也能轻松理解。历史、建筑以及我们参观期间发生的各种日常活动,让整个过程充满乐趣。
对传统、象征意义以及法律制定过程的讲解,为参观这座原本可能只是简单游览的建筑增添了许多深度和背景。
整个参观过程节奏把握得当,讲解也十分尊重参观者,丝毫没有匆忙之感。对于埃德蒙顿的游客来说,这是一项绝佳的活动;对于想要更好地了解政府运作的阿尔伯塔省居民来说,也同样意义非凡。
总而言之,这是一次非常有价值的免费体验。我强烈推荐参加阿尔伯塔省议会大厦的正式参观。
