We go there for the great walking trails, river views and wildlife. Add to that it's a great place to hide and hunt rocks! Generally we go there once a week and have found most fellow visitors sensible during the pandemic!

4. Kin Coulee Park
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By 899marcusc - Medicine Hat, Canada
This is a fantastic place for walking all year round and for tobogganing in winter and for all kinds of activities in summer. The trails connect via tunnel under the highway to even more park space on the South side of the trans Canada. If you access from the South side you see the Teepee (Canada’s tallest) and the Tourist info centre; most tourists would access the park from this side. But take the trail that goes past the TP and go down the hill into the park and you can walk the extensive trails for a good hour if you have time. The golf course is right here too.

Situated alongside the Trans Canada Highway, the Medicine Hat Tourist Center is a nice convenient stop for weary travellers at any time. There is ample parking and a nice playground for the kids to let off some energy. There are picnic tables if this is your lunch stop with access to nice clean washrooms inside. The desk staff are helpful and like any other Alberta tourist center, there are lots of pamphlets to pick up for information on tourist activities in the surrounding area. There are lots of local, Medicine Hat souvenirs that you can pick up if you are collecting, and a few nonperishable food items from local food artisans. But Sundays in the summer (May into September) are when this becomes a real frenzy of activity. From 11 o'clock until after 2 PM the local food trucks congregate in the parking lot and locals line up for their favorites. Rain or shine there are always at least four or five food trucks and sometimes up to nine or ten. Even during this busy time, access is maintained to the trailer dump station and at the end of a busy weekend or a long weekend there are often five or six units lined up waiting to dump at this efficient location.

An indoor garden centre and a tropical butterfly house (butterfly house has entrance fee - see website for price list). Open all year!
Reviewed By DigitalCanOzzie
My kids LOVE nature, they catch lizards, frogs, geckos instead of watching TV, one of the benefits of growing up in Australia. During a visit home to the Hat we were fortunate enough to visit this little gem - a tropical paradise - in a desolate semi-arid desert! seeing Morpha butterflies was the highlight, but don't be fooled, when their wings are closed they look like an ordinary brown moth. When they open - WOW! Much appreciation for the efforts put into creating this unique experience.

8. Saamis Tepee

This tepee was used to stand at the Olympic 1988 in Calgary and then was placed at this location. In the tepee there is enough information about he history of Medicine Hat and the native people. It seems that Canada likes to have something 'extraordinary' things such the largest...... tomahawk, baseball bat and many others... scattering around the land. But this Giant Tepee is the best of all, it is one of a kind. You can see the tepee from a distance, 2 minutes driving from the tourist information centre. The area is also an archeological site. It is a must visit place.
