A spot in Alberta was just given a big shoutout, being named as having a top new thing to do in the world for 2025.
Time Out announced its top picks for the best new things to do in 2025 in spots around the globe, with star bathing at Metis Crossing as the sole spot in Alberta to make the list. Vancouver’s new Time Out market was the only other spot in Canada on the ranking.
Alberta is no stranger to making numerous lists for 2025, with Banff and Lake Louise being named to one, while Edmonton was attached to another. Welcome to the lineup, Metis Crossing!
The publication chose Metis Crossing for its star bathing experience, singling out its Sky Watching Domes that “provides insight into the traditional knowledge of the Métis people.”
It went on to tout its almost zero light pollution in the area, allowing guests to sleep under the stars in the dazzling domes.
“Learn about how the skies served as an essential navigation tool, timekeeper, and so much more for the Métis,” Time Out added.
Metis Crossing is approximately 122 kilometres northeast of Edmonton and approximately 415 kilometres northeast of Calgary.
