If the Neon Sign Museum looks as good as it does on the outside, then you'll be in for a real treat. I only drive by here a few days a week and do not live in Edmonton itself. But I always enjoy looking at these lit up signs down that seem to travel down the street. If you have a chance, I would recommend checking it out for yourself.

I was actually really disappointed. Drove the 30 minutes from the south to go see this. There were significantly less signs then I thought this would be. I also was led to believe this would have been down a whole street when it was actually all on one building. No parking either. Only possitive is it's free and mildly neat at best

3/5 9th November 2022 I was a tourist here in Edmonton for a few days and this was a place a lot of people recommended and asked to visit. It was nice to see it and the different sign boards in the neon lights, but that's all for me. Don't think its a visit just for it. Good to see if you're in the area.

I love being signs and history, so this was perfect for me. I expected something more like Las Vegas or Los Angeles, where the signs are corralled at eye level behind a wall. I was glad to see them hanging from a wall as nature intended! The interpretive materials were great. I would have paid money for this and I hope they get to add even more signs.

  • Mike Bown

You can come and view 24 hours a day, no need to wait in lines, buy tickets or remember opening hours. There are a number of signs on the side of the building for and some information about them on signs. Great idea something other places should consider!

The Neon Sign Museum was a wonderful free attraction. Even on Canaday Day, it wasn't very crowded, enabling me to capture the photos I desired. The lights looked so gorgeous by nightfall! What a cute little attraction, and a perfect, free, activity for passing the time and/or exploring.

Stumbled across this while on a walk downtown with a friend. It's a great place to take some cool pictures if you are already in the area and have some free time. I wouldn't necessarily plan a trip to only go see this but if I was already going to a nearby cafe or to the art gallery I would definitely take some time to go take a picture here.

This is an amazing little piece of Edmonton, right in the heart of it! It only takes about 10 to 15 minutes go get through and is on either side of about a hald block, and is outdoors (so dress appropriately). Each neon sign has a little plaque and blerb out the history of said sign. You should definitely take it in, if you have a chance.

  • Jaime Lilley

Its outdoors. Neat to look at and there are plaques on the wall that you can read and they give a short history of where the signs were from and what each place was about. Don't pay for parking as it only takes about 15 to 20 minutes to read all the plaques and look at all the signs which are all hanging on the Telus building.

  • Stacey B

The neon sign museum is a really fun and unique place to visit. There are plaques on the wall about every sign, telling you it's history and if you come at night, they will be all lit up! Don't forget to check the other side of the road for additional signs, and come back often to see the new additions!

  • J. Yamamoto

Beautiful interesting part of Edmonton. Rented a turo with a vehicle I couldn't afford to take pics here. Just so I can flex on people I don't know. I could see how getting a good shot would be difficult. Bonus was a history of the signs that were featured and it's all free

  • Kyle Miller

Actually a pretty cool attraction never knew this was here it's like a Mini Las Vegas strip Except without the Drunk tourists and casinos That are rigged to make you lose haha

This is a cool outdoor neon museum, one of a kind. Situated on 104 street and 104 Ave it is on the side of building and is great during the day but even better at night. Check it out when you’re downtown. Dress according to the weather as it is outside.

  • Dallin Backstrom

This is one of those rare peices of public art that is wholesomely enjoyable and entierly tasteful. Every time I drive through downtown at night I try to come by here just to give whoever is in my car a look at this fun part of edmonton's downtown.

  • Nicolas Koeppe

A fun surprise, day or night! It’s a hidden gem in Edmonton and read the wall plaques: I learned about the original and history of many of the historical pieces.

What a fun place to stop on your journeys downtown Edmonton. Along the wall on the Telus building there are plaques which explain when and where the signs came from. Stop to take a look and get a taste of Edmonton's history.

  • Amber LaGroix

Cool to see, but would be really impressive if they added some seating or stairs along the wall for people to take pictures.

Love that this collection of neon signs are outside ….. easy for a visitor to visit!! As a visitor to Edmonton and staying close by, it was a great addition to our evening walk to a dinner restaurant!!!

  • Namita Chaudhary

They have a great collect of Neon signs. Unfortunately i could not see them at night but it was still worth a visit. They also have information boards for all the signs that are displayed.

  • Obscure Fault (Faulty)

It's really just a lot of neon signs on the sides of some buildings. They look really great a dusk!

Such a great idea and is situated on the most beaitiful street from downtown of Edmonton!! it is free it is displyed on a building, outside, and it is very spectacular even at daytime.

  • Robert Seguin

Pretty at night. Fairly quiet street, not a whole lot going on. Really feels like a museum rather than a street that looks cool. Still worth a stroll through if you're in the area.

  • Happy Patel

Cool place to visit and take some pictures; doesn’t require much time to spend there.

Nothing too special. It's all outdoor on 1 street showing vintage neon signs from the city. Great space to take pictures. You'll probably spend less than 15 mins here

The illuminated signs tell the story of Edmonton. It will be more meaningful to the people of Edmonton than to an outside tourist. But still, it's interesting a bit.

The museum was not a museum. It was a right turn onto a street that had some neon signs at the side of the building. Coming from Ontario, I was truly disappointed.

  • Lrac Etacaz

A pretty neat sidewalk attraction! I think it would always look cool all year round. Add it to your itinerary when you tour Edmonton with your family and friends.
