Edmonton’s Muttart Conservatory fully reopened Wednesday after being closed this week due to flooding.

The botanical garden was closed because of access issues around the facility following back-to-back major storms on Saturday and Monday.

Other flood-related closures remain in effect until further notice, including the Reuse Centre; the Indigenous Peoples Experience at Fort Edmonton Park; Telus World of Science; Peter Hemingway Aquatic Centre; and trails in Mill Creek Ravine North between 93 Avenue and 98 Avenue.

Edmonton’s wettest summer on record has led to flooding, road closures, outages, submerged vehicles and downed trees.
