Fort Edmonton Park: 1920 Street
Zombie Apocalypse Survival Tour
1920 Street, of Fort Edmonton Park, provides plenty of opportunity for surviving a zombie apocalypse. Here you'll find the original Mellon Farm, without which, Fort Edmonton may not be the haven for survival it is today.
But what's the point of surviving if that is all you're doing? Fort Ed's 1920 Street has many ways to let your mind escape the shambling horrors outside the park's fence: A bookstore, theatre, miniature golf course, garden, even a 1920s midway, and a model train yard that runs along 220 ft of track.

The Capitol Theatre, on 1920 Street of Fort Edmonton Park, is the best place for playing a guitar, piano, or to sing. It's cement, sound-proof structure will not let a single note escape to alert the zombies of Deadmonton.
With its brick front and cement sides, it is very close to being a safe house, as well; replace the front glass entry doors and you would have a formidable building to withstand a horde of the dead.
Attached, is a small shop called, Kline's, where you can find eyeglasses. They will most likely not be the perfect prescription, but they should make things a little more clear.

Capitol Theatre
The Hotel Selkirk at Fort Edmonton Park, with its 29 rooms, dining room, bathrooms, kitchen, and more, is the ultimate spot for housing many apocalypse survivors.

Tom Thumb Miniature Golf Course
A great way to try and have a little fun during a zombie apocalypse is to spend an hour or two at Fort Edmonton Park's Tom Thumb Miniature Golf Course.
