Is there food available at the Show?
There are a variety of food vendors at the Edmonton EXPO Centre, including a food court a short walk down the main hall from the show. Please note that the cafe and concession area are under Expo “jurisdiction”–meaning, what will be open and serving food will be dependent on what is happening at the EXPO Centre that weekend. We make an effort to have one or two concessions within the Show as well.
Can I bring my pet to the Show?
Although we recognize you may want to bring your slightly fluffier friends with you, for everyone’s safety (including your pet’s!), we ask that all animals please remain in the comfort of their own homes. On-duty licensed (by the Alberta Government) service animals are an exception, of course.
Can I adopt or buy an animal at this Show?
No. We do not want to encourage impulse buys of animals, so we do not allow any animals to be purchased or adopted off the Show Floor. However, you may state your interest to the staff of the rescue or breeder and start the adoption process for the week following the Show!
I'm coming from out of town. Where can I stay?
There are a few options when it comes to accommodations: Ramada on Kingsway 11834 Kingsway Avenue Approximately 7.0 km from the Edmonton EXPO Centre www.ramadaedmonton.com If you’d rather book into a different hotel, we recommend the use of a site like Expedia.ca* to find the best deal. *Selections are not in any way affiliated or officially endorsed by Family Productions Inc. or the Edmonton Pet Expo.
Do I need to have cash for the Show?
Although select exhibitors will have POS Debit/Credit machines, many do not. We recommend that you come to the show with cash in your wallet!
Are ATMs available?
Yes. There are a few ATMs located throughout the Edmonton EXPO Centre. However, the fees on these ATMs may be higher than you’re used to – so it’s probably best to be loaded with them dolla dolla bills!
What do I do if I lose something at the Show? Is there a lost and found?
Absolutely. If you have lost an item, please come to the Show Office located near Hall E and speak with us. We will do our best to reunite you with your lost possession(s)!

Sure, we’d love that! Feel free to post any photos/videos on social media and tag it with [@EdmPetExpo] so we can see it. Please be respectful when taking photos of exhibitors and your fellow guests – make sure you’ve got permission!
Is this an annual event?
Yes, we are here every January!
Can I bring my stroller onto the Show Floor?
Sure thing – we understand that the little ones may need a break from walking every now and then.
Is the Edmonton EXPO Centre/Show wheelchair accessible?
Yes, there is ample room to safely and easily maneuver throughout the building and on the Show Floor.
Are there wheelchairs available at the Show?
While the Edmonton EXPO Centre IS wheelchair-friendly, unfortunately there are no wheelchairs on-hand for public use.
I'm attending with a caregiver. Will we both need to purchase tickets?
At Family Productions Inc., we want everyone to be able to come and enjoy our tradeshows. If you require someone with you for assistance, only one adult admission ticket is required. That’s right–2 for the price of 1!
Can I get a refund on my ticket?
As your ticket is non-refundable, probably not. Please call our office at (780) 490-0215 with any concerns.
