| Admission Pricing |
Given that only a few facilities are reopening and only a few amenities within them, will you charge less for entry?
We have implemented new memberships fees and admission pricing for those without existing memberships. This pricing level recognizes that our facilities are not running as usual with capacity limits and with reduced amenity access. Our interim pricing is as follows::
Single admission (pay per reservable time slot):
One month pass:
Annual membership:
Will I be able to purchase any of these online?
Pay per time slot, monthly passes and annual memberships can be purchased online at movelearnplay.edmonton.ca. You can also renew your existing membership online.
