Now open to visitors, this was once home to lieutenant-governors of Canada's Northwest Territories.
There is not very many historic buildings in Regina, but Government House is definitely one of them. The building was restored and preserved as it was 1900s. They have afternoon Victorian tea party once a month, which is worth visiting. However you need to register for it in advance.

Wascana Centre is known internationally as a beautifully landscaped park surrounding a 120-hectare lake located in the heart of the City of Regina. Wascana Centre is home to numerous important buildings such as the Saskatchewan Legislative Building and hosts more than 2,000 events a year ranging from charity runs & walks, cultural celebrations, to the annual Canada Day festivities.
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.

Come in winter if you want the park to yourselves. We cross-country skied and hiked and hardly ever saw another person. Park supplies free cross-country skis and snowshoes which was great! We used them every day. Saw river otters at the narrows the drive down in the snow was magical. Felt like our own personal national park was a great time

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!

I'm an American who visits friends and family in Moose Jaw every few years. I hadn't been to this museum yet and I'm glad we visited. It's packed full of transportation history and great photo ops. It would be a lot of fun to visit this museum with children. My boys would have loved all the cars, trains, tractors, snowmobiles, etc.

Since 1906. Explore Saskatchewan and your world - the past, the present, and the future - as never before. We are a natural history museum offering life and earth sciences, as well as aboriginal history.
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 arrived in time for the 10am tour. No backpacks are allowed and there is security scanning before proceeding. Our tour guide, a young man that I can’t remember his name, did an excellent job and was very knowledgeable. Tour took about 40 minutes and gave a fair bit of history of Canada that I wasn’t up to date with. Magnificent building.

The Saskatchewan Science Centre encourages experiments, surprises you with stage shows, wows you with workshops and has the province's only 3D IMAX Theatre! The Saskatchewan Science Centre is a non-profit, non-governmental educational facility with the mission of igniting scientific curiosity and innovation in Saskatchewan communities through interactive, dynamic and engaging opportunities. Our vision of the future, in fulfilling that mission, is inspired minds through science and innovation. The Science Centre is one of Saskatchewan’s largest family tourist attractions with close to 4 million visitors since its opening in 1989.
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.

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
