Hit the Road: Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan is an outdoor oasis that homes various natural landscapes, including flat prairies to thick forests. Even if the great outdoors isn’t your thing, this province offers incredible cities and towns that flow with culture, tradition, and family experiences.

With a Best Western Hotel and Resort to call home base, here are several must-sees in Saskatchewan to add to your itinerary:

Go into Town

Saskatoon

This family-friendly city lets parents re-energize and keeps kids entertained; from river adventures to culinary journeys, Saskatoon needs to be on your itinerary. Start your day with a cup of coffee at Road Coffee Co., explore the Saskatoon Farmers Market before taking the kids on an adventure with the Wheatland Express Excursion Train. And no one will deny that the perfect way to end the day is with a special treat from Homestead Ice Cream.

Regina

Are you looking for a food experience like no other? Regina is the place to be!  With dozens of craft breweries, cafes, dessert shops, and pubs to explore, it’s hard to say where to begin. Have a delectable breakfast at Fresh & Sweet, where they serve delights like smoked salmon panini and buffalo benny wraps. Then grab a cup of coffee that is unlike anything you’ve had before at Brewed Awakening, and we won’t judge if second breakfast calls your name from the many options in their display cases.  And if it’s evening drinks that you want, try Sperling Silver Distillery or Cathedral Social Hall. Possibilities are endless in Regina.

Get Outside

Beaver Creek Conservation Area

The Beaver Creek Conservation Area is a beautiful and scenic spot located near Saskatoon.  With picnic areas, privies, and trails to explore, this is the perfect outdoor experience if you don’t want to venture too far or are a hiking beginner.

Wascana Centre Park

Wascana Centre Park is an urban park surrounding Wascana Lake. Bigger than New York City’s Central Park and Vancouver’s Stanley Park, Wascana Centre Park spans across 930-hectare/2,300 acres. The park has several monuments and memorials honoring the many figures and occurrences with ties to the region. In addition, the park also has many attractions to take part in, from the Mackenzie Art Gallery, Royal Saskatchewan Museum, Wascana Skateboard Park to the Saskatchewan Science Center. 

Things to Do

• Experience Saskatchewan one brewery at a time. Home to over 30 breweries and distilleries, travelers can visit for a taste of local creation. From Black Fox Farm & Distillery in Saskatoon to Pile O’ Bones Brewing Co. in Regina, there are no wrong choices among these countless options.
• Deemed “Canada’s Most Notorious City,” Moose Jaw holds a colorful prohibition past that includes the notorious gangster Al Capone. To dive straight into this city’s history, you need first to go underground. Visit the Tunnels of Moose Jaw, and immerse yourself in a time and place where gangsters and bootleggers ran wild.
