Regina Tourist Attractions

Royal Saskatchewan Museum

The first museum to be established in the province of Saskatchewan the Royal Saskatchewan Museum was formed in 1906. The museum focuses on natural history and objects of ethnological interest and as such it offers a First Nations gallery and Life Sciences section. The features of the province are described in detail and the half size robotic T-Rex is especially popular with children!

RCMP Heritage Centre

Situated within the grounds of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police national training centre is the RCMP Heritage Centre. This is a museum where you can see a number of RCMP related exhibits and artefacts, both temporary and permanent, showcasing the history and the work of the RCMP.

Saskatchewan Science Centre and IMAX

The Saskatchewan Science Centre is housed within Regina’s former powerhouse building that dates from 1914. The lakeside setting of the powerhouse is an attraction in itself, while the museum is popular with families. Right next door, in a far newer building is the Kramer IMAX Theatre used in conjunction with the museum to educate both adults and children.

Casino Regina

Whether you’re into gambling or not Casino Regina is an interesting place to visit as it’s housed within the old Regina Union Station. This imposing building was first constructed back in 1911 as the city’s train station but low empty for several years from the early 1990’s until being converted into a casino in 1995. Many of the old station features have been kept making this a fairly unique building considering its current use!
