Whether you hit the road for some sightseeing in the summer or enjoy a scenic adventure in the winter, Saskatchewan is the perfect place to enjoy the beauty nature offers throughout the changing seasons.  

Central Saskatchewan Tour

Explore all Saskatchewan has to offer – from the museums, zoos, and public parks of major cities like Regina and Saskatoon to the 3,874-square-kilometre playground that is Prince Albert National Park.

Enjoy self-guided tours of exhibits like “Creating a Mounted Police” and “Protecting the North” – and don’t miss the annual Sergeant Major’s Parade. Be sure to grab a unique gift (let’s face it, one of those hats) at the Central Trading Post.
