This branch of the Western Development Museum focuses on transportation - and they've done an amazing job. There's a Snowbirds display and then a huge hall with planes, trains, and automobiles from Model Ts through 1950s and 70s. There are railway engines and planes that you can get close to. Everything is presented really well. Fascinating to look through the Saskatchewan timeline and see the accomplishments and the firsts that took place in the province. Very progressive in many ways. We spent an enjoyable couple of hours poking around and exploring. Kids would love the big displays and adults would appreciate learning about the history of the province. I'd highly recommend a visit here if you're in the Moose Jaw area.

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.

Our family had a great time at the Tunnels Tours. The staff were friendly as well. Both tours were very well done. The Passage of Fortune was very informative and The Chicago connection was so much fun.
3. Murals of Moose Jaw

Reviewed By Dale H - Osoyoos, Canada
These murals are classy and well done (not graffiti). They are marked on a map available at the tourist information booth. We searched without the map and came up with 23 individual murals that we saw. I am sure we missed some. This however makes a walk through the downtown very interesting. Add it to your tunnels tours and you will spend a great day.

Neat place to stop. It's free and ran completely on donations. You can't hold owls which is sad yet not surprising as they are wild animals

Reviewed By Neener_Moo - Winnipeg, Canada
Situated across the street from Temple Gardens. This small casino offers a variety of slot play, as well as a limited number of table games (roulette, poker, black jack) . Staff were attentive, and always around. There is a small bar/restaurant offering basic food selections.
Payouts were average for any gov run casino (don't expect payouts to be as agressive as Las Vegas).

Cinderella updated was really ambitious with 6 good musicians instead of the expected recordings. Besides, the actors were well cast so strengths appeared across the scenes-----amateurs or professionals. Rubarb productions has a great vision.
We 9 enjoyed it! Thanks, Heather! I was sorry that the Beth Wigmore alcove was blocked but I didn't tell anyone I was coming with the hope of seeing it.

Came here because they had a art sale going on in the basement. The sale was a little disappointing but the museum was very nice. Had some beautiful metal sculptures on display and the regular museum had some really interesting things including news of a plane crash I never knew about.
