Regina, our former home for decades, was a city we were proud to take many visiting family members to see the famous Dinosaur and many exceptional wildlife scenes (back in the days when it was the Museum of Natural History.) This icon has the well-deserved reputation of being one of the very best internationally. If you're in the Queen City, be sure to stop in and be amazed!

We attended the November Rawlco festivities and loved the exhibits, especially Christi Belcourt’s artwork! We love the BMO space where we made felted wool crafts. We also take our kids to the studio Sunday programs. We plan to attend the future monthly special events too. During these events, admission is free but membership is also very affordable.

We purchased a Family membership this summer for $100 for the year as single admission is quite expensive. However, the membership has been quite worth it! We are particularly enjoying the stage shows and weekly maker space STEAM activities. We also participated in the first science time for tots last Tuesday, which was great. These special weekly activities keep us returning and then we explore the science centre a little bit differently each time. It is worth getting a membership if you plan to go more than once in the year. Definitely check out the maker space when you go! It currently runs from noon to 3pm daily and you can see the schedule of activities on the science centre website.
4. RCMP Heritage Centre

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have been an integral part of Canada's historical and cultural landscape since 1873, helping to form and protect our great nation, and playing a significant role in creating the Canadian identity. Situated on the doorstep of RCMP Academy, "Depot" Division in Regina, Saskatchewan, where Mounties have trained since 1885, the RCMP Heritage Centre is appropriately located where the tradition begins. The Centre brings to life the incredible story of the RCMP and its role in the development of Canada using state of the art exhibits, multimedia technologies, and engaging programming and tours.

I really enjoyed myself at the Heritage Centre, it was a well curated collection; with many examples from former RCMP Members such as Medals, weapons, uniforms. They have some things for younger kids, but one of the interactive driving sims was well past needing service. The 3D horse exhibit was fun but I think the audio did not work? I would definitely recommend the RCMP Heritage Centre for all, though I feel the older members of the family will get the most out of this as you get to appreciate everything with more understanding of history. Depending how in depth you would like to get you could spend 2-4 hours easily.
