Climb, pop, swing and dangle!

Locals know that Saskatchewan is full of exciting, affordable attractions for families. Looking for fun ideas for your next family trip? Check out these jaw-dropping experiences for all ages and seasons.

1. T.rex Discovery Centre, Eastend

The T.rex Discovery Centre in Eastend is home to the world’s most massive T. rex skeleton. Kids of all ages are inspired by the remains of these dragon-like creatures.

Investigate the past through hands-on learning workshops, prehistoric mammal galleries, the fossil lab and a 98-seat theatre.

Locals know that the beautiful town of Eastend, nestled in the Frenchman River Valley, is a hidden gem for families. Discover the quaint shops and local eateries, pool and splash park and the Whitemud Clay’s pottery studio.

2. Grotto Gardens Family Fun Farm, Maple Creek

At Grotto Gardens Family Fun Farm, families can enjoy Saskatchewan's first-ever goat-walk while meeting friendly miniature farm animals.  Tee off at the new 18-hole mini-golf course surrounded by playful ponies, donkeys and emus, or hop aboard one of the animal-themed carts for a guided farm tour.

Try Goat Yoga, Alpaca Walks, or book a spot on the Farm Train Tour in the summer. Parents will love unwinding on the deck while Grotto Educators lead little ones through a hands-on "Lil Farmers Class."

3. Nutrien Wonderhub Children’s Museum, Saskatoon

Kids can master creative play at Saskatchewan’s amazing new children’s museum. 

The museum’s hands-on exhibits celebrate art, science, technology and culture.

Kids get to rule a miniature city called Toon Town. They’ll “oooo” and “ahhh” over cosmic commotion, the northern lights and sensory surprises in the Boxes o’ Fun exhibit.

Explore little bridges, creative space workshops and even a potash mine.

It’s the most fun families can have for less than the price of movie admission.

4. Saskatchewan Science Centre, Regina

Locals treasure the Saskatchewan Science Centre, surrounded by the greenery and natural beauty of Wascana Centre. This is where real science, film and the culinary arts meet forest-fresh air, wildlife conservation and outdoor recreation.

Ignite scientific curiosity with ever-changing hands-on exhibits, daily programming and exciting stage shows.

The onsite Kramer IMAX Theatre is the province's only large-format 3D theatre. It features science, travel and nature-oriented documentary films on a giant screen, as well as popular feature films.

Before you leave, visit the Atom + Geek Science Shop, Skye Bistro and Café or wander along the lakeside trail.

5. Nutrien Playland at Kinsmen Park, Saskatoon

Nutrien Playland is where urban park meets amusement-style attractions for squeal-worthy fun.

Kids can soar high above the city on the Ferris wheel, twirl on a vintage carousel animal and hop aboard the miniature freight train.

Experience hands-on fun in water and sand at the natural play area.

Skip, hop and jump over to the Kinsmen Play Village. Explore the accessible play structures, saucer swings and a balance beam.

The park is open from May to September and admission is free.
