I enjoyed the Kieth Urban concert. My 5 children went to the rides, they had fun.
I have been going to this event for over 40 years. I no longer go on the wonderful rides, but I do everything else. My favourite is the Chilkoot Mine where I pan for gold. I love it !. I also shop, listen to music, enjoy the foods, and watch everyone enjoying themselves. A wonderful event to go to as often as you can during the 10 days.
Price is good since it includes gate admission also. I was disappointed in the number of rides. It would be nice to see something new. I think all rides should be included in the pass (ie. sling shot). I would also like to be able to purchase the express pass in advance at a discounted rate.
Even though it was a few dollars cheaper than paying at the gate it is still too expensive. I purchased the tickets to have a chance to just walk the grounds and expo centre. Took us an hour tops. The Expo centre was boring....same stuff as last year. The grounds were the same as always. Games are way too expensive for crappy stuff. K-Days really needs to step it up.
I highly recommend the 10 day pass, all you have to do is go 3 times and you have made up the cost. I have out of town friends and if someone shows up and wants to go I don't have to worry about the fees. It's worth just to see all the bands play..And who doesn't love carnival food.
As a former Northlands Security Employee - Edmonton Coliseum, Casino and K-Days , Capital Ex Patron. Northlands as a Non-Profit Volunteer Organization - K-Days over the years has become too Commerical and Expensive. No Entertainment Value . With Macs Convience Stores and Save-0n-Foods K-Days Advance Gate Passes @ $12.00 plus Service Charges - $ 16.00 the same K-Days Adult Gate Admission Price. The only saving is the K-Days Ride All Day Ride Passes @ $49.00 and Northlands Parking ranging from $16.00 in South 116 Avenue - Gretzky Way Expo Parking Lot to the Rexall Place $ 20.00/Vehicle. The PC Show dogs Free Show was the only Family Entertainment Value.
This years Kdays seemed like less. There was no big shows in the event centre, there was no raffle tickets being sold, nothing really all that new. There was barely any horse racing going on. I don't believe that Northlands fully capitalized on what could be. In addition, none of the midway food blew me away either. To be honest, I was a little disappointed.
K-Days used to be fun, not anymore. Highly overpriced (gauging comes to mind!) in all areas, gate admission, parking, food/ drink prices and rides. Concert headliners have become also-rans, activities inside the exhibition halls are diluted and seem uninspired, and the first nations events are tossed out to all but a few tents by the goldmine. Poor, very poor. K-days staples like dream home, lotteries for gold bars, shopping or gas for life are gone, and a single 50/50 ticket costs a ludicrous $5. Thanks for reminding us not to come back for a while...I rather hoof to the Stampede, where I pay similar prices, but get a whole lot more to see and do!
Forcing people to right a review for something that is not mandatory is stupid, I'm going to dedicate whatever this is to telling you this because I'm a douchebag and the other half I'll dedicate to telling you how it was so average and decent and how the ride all day pass was just barely worth the money paid for it and only because I was able to go on a few rides before they were unrideable because of the massive lines.
This 10-day pass was an excellent, cost-effective way to see as many of the k-days concerts as you want. Will definitely be purchasing this again next year if it is offered!
we headed to K-Days this year strictly to catch Our Lady Peace perform. We did walk the grounds for a bit and check out the trade show areas, but really didn't find much we haven't seen in years previous. Overall we enjoyed the grounds, but thoroughly enjoyed Our Lady Peace! The show was amazing and rockin' till the end!
It was a great family time with a tremendous amount to do and see for everyone not just due to the rides and great food but also the programs inside of Expo were fantastic (hockey exhibit, Techlife with technology and innovation and the farm). So much energy and definitely the best all around event of the year!
Great Time, looking forward to next year. Hope the weather is better

There was something new to check out everyday, out door concert series was outstanding. The midway rides were AWESOME, and the mini donuts mmmmmm good.
My first time seeing Down With Webster. Heard all the songs I wanted to hear. Sadly their new CD isn't out until October ;'-(
The Best ever. The kids loved it. Rides are better. Showcases were arranged tastefully and I find it very classy!
This ticket was for my teenage daughter. Absolutely loved the event and stayed until the bitter end!!
The best thing is that it is realy way better than last year The beer garden whit the big stage abd rib fest near was realy nice Plus all the ride keep the kids occupy plus the northland was open for shopping was real good I will deffinatly go back if the set up is the same next year Was realy good
I think this a very econimical way to see as much of K-days as you want/can stand. I am gad I saw and used this option as I went 4 times to see different events/concerts.
