Saskatchewan is a best-kept secret for fun summer family activities.
As we head into the long weekend, our staff at the Wyant Group thought it would be fitting to share some of our favourites locations to visit for you and your family. Sometimes as Saskatchewanians, we tend to take our province for granted and think that one has to leave Saskatchewan to find a beautiful and fun destination. Granted, we may not have mountains and we aren’t near the ocean… but Saskatchewan has a diverse landscape and rich history with plenty of attractions and unique destinations with great activities that many locals don’t even know about.
As such, we’ve compiled a list of 20 favourite destinations for you to get out together and make some memories right here in Saskatchewan. Some are close to home and some are a bit of a drive away — perfect if you want to go on a little vacation but you don’t want to drive out of the province. Here’s our top 20 (in no particular order).

Tunnels of Moose Jaw – Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

The Chicago Connection tour lets your family relive Al Capone’s bootlegging days and the Passage to Fortune tour provides a first-hand encounter of the early Chinese immigrants and the hardships they faced.
Hot tip: Don’t expect to ask a lot of questions, this is more of a guided theatrical presentation and not a typical touristy tour.
Amenities, highlights, and activities:
Guided tunnel tours: Chicago Connection tour and Passage to Fortune tour.
Limited wheelchair access
Souvenir shop
Washroom
Why the Tunnels of Moose Jaw is great as a family friendly spot:
The Tunnels of Moose Jaw is a family friendly attraction that will entertain everyone from young children all the way to grandparents. The tours are fifty minutes each and feature animatronic characters, a multi-media presentation, character tour guides, and well-staged spaces for the period.
Families with young children should be aware that there are a few loud noises and surprises on the tours. Since the Passage to Fortune tour focuses on the hardships that Chinese immigrants faced, some children may find it a bit sad. The tour guide also changes character in the Passage to Fortune tour, which may seem intimidating to young kids.
Activities your family can do at the Tunnels of Moose Jaw:
At the tunnels specifically, you can experience two tours as well as the gift shop. If you are looking for some food and other activities after the tour, you are in the heart of downtown Moose Jaw which is close to plenty of places to eat and things to do.
