Immediately after we arrived at the hotel we booked in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada post ~8 hours driving started from Fargo, ND, USA, the first thing that family wanted to do was to visit this park. It was around 4:00pm in the afternoon of a sunny day at the end of July 2018. When we drove to park, we found that the park was built around the famous and beautiful Wascana Lake - a Park in the heart or center of the Regina City, like but bigger than the Center Park in New York City. There are several small islands in the lake with only one named “Pine Island” that we could freely walked into. From there you can see some people are boating or kayaking while birds like sea gulls and several swans are playing or maybe looking for food in the lake water. While we drove along the beach road to a place - should be at the Northwest corner, we were deeply attracted by the beauty of the flowers in a garden. So we parked our car and enjoyed the variety of the beautiful flowers inside the garden - Queen Elizabeth Garden that is in front of the Saskatchewan Provincial Legislative Building. Between the Building and the Garden, you can see the sculpture of Queen Elizabeth riding on a horse while on the other end of the Garden that is close to the lake you can see the sculpture of the most famous politician of Saskatchewan, Walters Scott, who was the founder of both Saskatchewan and Alberta provinces of Canada. Among all the beautiful views of the Park left in our brains, the unique beauty of the so many types of flowers in the Garden, are the most magnificent and unforgettable.

The Tunnels is a year-round attraction where guests are entertained with unique theatrical presentations of Canadian history. Beneath the streets you relive Al Capone's bootlegging days on the Chicago Connection and experience first-hand the hardships of early Chinese immigrants on the Passage to Fortune. At the Tunnels we have intrigue and history all rolled into one fabulous time. For an unforgettable experience bring all the family to relive the past at The Tunnels of Moose Jaw.

We had an unexpected visit to Moose Jaw, I had never been to the tunnels so we were lucky to catch the last show of the day. What a great surprise, our two hosts Fanny and Gus, were lots of fun and engaged with all of us. We all enjoyed it from beginning to end and likely urge anyone travelling through to take the time to enjoy!

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!

The museum as a whole is an amazing interesting place. Lots of great displays and town replicas. Model train show was as spectacular as usual, Wheatland Express and simulator was great. Had a snack at the extremely busy restaurant and was great. Food is good and quite reasonable pricing. A definite must see in Saskatoon! Check out the Steam Train...Its unreal

6. Grasslands National Park

Tired of fighting the crowds at the famous sites? Longing for some soul-cleansing big sky? Grasslands National Park in southern Saskatchewan is just the ticket. We spent 5 days/4 nights there in June and just loved it. If you are looking for creature comforts or wifi connection, this not the place for you. But if you want to sense what the grandeur of the Great Plains might have been long ago then this is a place not to miss. The Park is divided into an east and a west block. they are separated by about a 140 kilometre drive. We stayed in both blocks and it is worth making the effort. The Eastern block is even more isolated than the Western Block. The big attraction here is the landscape including the sweeping views, badlands and the big skies. It is a dark sky area and the night sky was better than we have seen anywhere in the world, on at least par with what we saw in the Bolivian Andes and in the Kalahari desert. The birds were also spectacular with several day time sightings of the usually nocturnal Night Hawk. The campground is completely new and very appropriate to its environment. Nothing fancy, but the basics are very appropriately covered. Take time to talk to the National Parks Staff. They are really friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their little-known gem. The hikes are different than in most parks as some of them are not trails but rather destinations which you reach by following landmarks. Just strike out over the prairie. You might just stumble upon some red Muskoka chairs in the absolute middle of nowhere. From there we moved to the West Block. This is quite different as it has a lot of game including bison, prong-horn antelope and a lot of black tailed prairie dogs. And more birds. There are historical sites from early attempts at ranching. And there are even some working ranches in the area as this park is a collaborative effort with the ranching community. For example, ranchers graze their cattle on parts of the unbroken prairie as this helps create tthe appropriate environment for the endangered Sage Grouse. The campground here is a also quite nice but don't expect trees! Do note that the wind can blow very hard out here. It is quite an experience and makes you really respect those who have made this environment their home over thousands of years. One more thing, Highway 18 should also be made into a national park. It winds its way through beautiful country and through tiny towns which seem to remain vital despite, or perhaps because of the isolation. Tread lightly out here, it is a unique and fragile environment.
7. RCMP Heritage Centre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 477 reviews
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.

After well over a decade of designing architectural details and importing thousand-year-old reclaimed biblical limestone from Greece, Stone Hall’s castle is ready for its debut. The castle is unlike anything seen on this side of the Atlantic. Several container loads of 16th, 17th and 18th century museum quality furniture, tapestries and original Old Masters oil paintings adorn this castle. Corporate Meetings, Event Rentals, Over Night Stays and Tours Now Available.

Stone Hall Castle was an amazing experience. I didn't know what to expect, and I was afraid it would be corny or tacky. However, the owner is extremely passionate about the place, and has thoughtfully assembled a wonderful collection of artwork, furniture, tapestries and many more artifacts and treasures that make the place feel like an authentic medieval castle, even though it's in Regina. Highly recommended.
