Saskatoon Travel Guide

Founded in 1949, the Western Development Museum is an important historical museum network in Saskatchewan; the Saskatoon branch is at 2610 Lorne Avenue. Its exhibits recreate an early-20th-century prairie town, with early trains, farm machinery and pioneer life, offering a key window into the settlement history of the prairie provinces.

Grasslands National Park lies in southwest Saskatchewan, bordering Montana, and protects one of the last extensive areas of mixed-grass prairie and badlands terrain in Canada. Wildlife includes plains bison, pronghorn and prairie dogs, alongside striking badlands scenery and fossils. The park is divided into West and East Blocks.

Prince Albert National Park is in central Saskatchewan, centred on the resort town of Waskesiu Lake, protecting vast boreal forest, prairies and dozens of lakes. It is a great place to spot bison, moose and other wildlife, and offers boating, swimming, camping and winter activities. The Waskesiu visitor centre is open year-round.
