Visitor Info ::

COMING TO A SCREENING AT THE CAPITAL THEATRE at FORT EDMONTON PARK THIS YEAR? Read on...

When you approach the main parking lot to FORT EDMONTON PARK, you will see a large wooden sign on your right (administration etc): TURN HERE. Follow the road past the gate - there will be a park host that can give you further directions as well.

Once you have gone past the gate, turn left at the 2^nd stop sign and take another left across the street car tracks. You’ll see the theatre on your left and you can park directly across from it in the open area behind the Bill’s Confectionary.

WELCOME TO EDMONTON!

Metro Cinema at the historic Garneau Theatre is home to year-round arthouse and retrospective cinema, and for 9 days in September, is also home to many EIFF screenings.

HOW TO GET HERE:

If you want to avoid the hassle of parking charges or looking for a place to park in the busy downtown and University areas, the answer is simple: Take ETS! We've partnered with our friends at ETS to help spread the word that the spankin' new LRT extension goes all the way down to Century Park, so now you can park your car any where from the farthest northeast part of the city down to the deep southwest, and hop on the LRT for a quick 15-20 minute ride to either of our main venues. Get off at University station for a short walk to the Garneau, or get off at Bay, Churchill or Central Stations, for easy access to Empire City Centre and Zeidler Hall!
