Prince Albert National Park

Saskatchewan's only national park is a 3,875 square kilometre block of boreal forest and lake country with an exceptional wildlife population — plains bison, wolves, elk, osprey and white pelicans. The village of Waskesiu on the lake shore has a sandy beach, golf course, and canoe rental — a pleasantly unhurried base for exploring the park.

Wascana Centre, Regina

One of the largest urban parks in North America — 930 hectares of lake, gardens and greenspace in the centre of Regina, home to the Gothic Saskatchewan Legislative Building, the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, and an exceptional waterfowl population on the artificial lake. Almost completely unknown outside the province.

Qu'Appelle Valley

A glacially carved valley cutting across the flat prairie landscape, revealing a hidden world of lakes, cottonwood forest, and rolling hills within an otherwise featureless plain. The valley communities of Fort Qu'Appelle and Echo Valley Provincial Park offer swimming, fishing, and camping in a setting that surprises visitors expecting uninterrupted flat.

T. rex Discovery Centre, Eastend

Saskatchewan has produced some of North America's most significant dinosaur fossil discoveries, and the small town of Eastend is home to the T. rex Discovery Centre — the museum housing a cast of Scotty, the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus rex ever found in Canada. The badlands landscape around the town is itself worth seeing.

Tunnels of Moose Jaw

A network of tunnels beneath the downtown of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, are the setting for theatrical guided tours covering two distinct historical narratives: the arrival of Chinese immigrant rail workers in the 1880s and a dubious but entertainingly told Al Capone connection. Historically colorful, family-friendly, and genuinely unusual.
