2. Blue Mountain Adventure Park, North Battleford

Active kids love the rush of these ultimate outdoor adventures. The park is full of non-stop toe-curling fun.

Figuring out where to start is the first challenge.

Choose from big and little ziplines for all ages. Dare to try the high-wire aerial course, the team challenge obstacle course, or the climbing wall. Aim for a bullseye at the archery, axe-throwing and air rifle target ranges.

A tranquil little lake is perfect for canoeing, kayaking and paddleboarding.

When the snow falls, explore over 30 km of groomed trails for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Try tubing down a giant hill or ice skating on the lake together. Afterwards, gather relax and connect in the cozy log chalet.

Planners can customize a Blue Mountain adventure visit with family day passes, quaint cabins and private campsites nestled among rolling hills and lush forest. 

 

 

3. Nutrien Wonderhub Children’s Museum, Saskatoon

Your children will master creative play at Saskatchewan’s amazing new children’s museum. Parents say their kids were busy for hours and didn’t want to leave.

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.

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

You’ll have to see it to believe it.
