Very nice exhibits. Displays the evolution of the local culture and First Nations people. The displays are beautiful and educative. The area outside the building is beautifully conceived and nicely displayed. Also, has a children playing park. Plenty of car parking available at the site.
Visited the museum and park back in September 2021. It's amazing the amount of effort and funding that's been given to keep this place up and running. There's so much more that needs to be done to preserve such a historic area but one needs to acknowledge what's already in place. Ask the ticket office about the yours and shows. You can of course walk on your own but being part of a your allows the people who are working there -researchers mainly- to share their own experience and insights of the place. I hope I can visit again someday and by then I hope I'll be able to learn more about the rich history that's been long hidden.
A great exhibition in this beautiful building and a chance to learn about the indigenous peoples and community and how they lived. We enjoyed viewing the bison herd 24 at a distance from a viewing area and discovering how the herd is growing. The trails offer some good walking so it’s best to wear shoes rather than sandals. We saw some colourful yellow and black birds finches? and were surprised to find so few people walking about. It seemed like we had the place to ourselves. The display of Hoop dancing was terrific- the man cannot recall his name told us the history and how he came to do the dancing and it’s significance. The dancing doesn’t take place everyday so we were lucky. Lunch in the cafe was ok but the service was slow. Good to know such an interesting place is close to the city of Saskatoon. There’s a fun play area for children too.
Wanuskewin is an essential visit for the Saskatoon tourist, and a wonderful place to visit regularly for the Saskatoon resident. The conference center is gorgeous. One can learn about Indigenous culture in the exhibits and at special events. The trails are full of whimsical nooks, and offer opportunities to become familiar with Indigenous and environmental history, as well as prairie ecology. And now there are bison! Which is pretty cool, and a big win for rebuilding Indigenous sovereignty.
Words cannot describe the experience of visiting this heritage site. Truly educational and highly recommend this place for all, so much to see. I've included many pictures that I took with phone, if you have a good camera bring it with you, the flora and fauna is abundant without to see.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
I’m visiting Saskatchewan from Orlando, Florida and it was recommend to me to visit Wanuskewin. It wasn’t too crowded. We arrived 15 minutes before the hoop dancer so we’re fortunate to hear him speak beforehand and then perform. It was excellent and I feel fortunate that we arrived when we did. I learned so much from the performance and the museum. The gift shop also has some nice local gifts. The restaurant has a unique menu that includes elk, bison and bannock which I tried for the first time and we walked to the observation area where we saw the multiple bison in the distance. I’m so glad that we came by and I would look forward to returning.
Finally went to this place. It's a great place just outside Saskatoon to spend few hours. You can experience the history with the museum, movie inside. They have few hikes not very long that can be completed within 2 hours. We saw few Deers as well. It has separate play area for kids and a restaurant to enjoy some food. I believe there should be a separate or less expensive pass for someone who just wants to hike and not access the inside area. I felt the fees to be expensive based on what we have to experience ! Or atleast, parking should have been free if you are charging the entrance fees. Good place to go with your kids and family !!
May 2023 5* Saskatoon is not big city but it has two major attractions. Wanuskewin is world heritage site and the place which has history of thousands of years. This was the hunting and trading place for indigenous. You should book the tour as you can learn about hunting techniques and old heritage sites Be careful about the lice as I found one next day on my feet. Luckily they are not harmful.
Was delighted to be a returning visitor after about 20 years. The centre is still as powerfully moving and culturally significant. So glad to see it still brings visitors there. The gift store is half the a ze and lost a lot of great inventory yet offers some nice products. Had a good tatanka bison burger and hot homemade fries before our tour. All federal heritage sites in Sask need far better signage long before the road turn off. Very hard to find these wonderful places without some highway back tracking due to next to zero signs until you nearly pass the entrance!
Really nice trails with great views of the saskatchewan river valley. Just know that the trails are free to hike and the $14 is the museum fee! We were not made aware of that and we're charged the full museum fee and we didn't even see the museum, an oversight on our part, but some clarity from staff would've been nice. Some wildlife can be easily seen from the trails like ground squirrels, birds and mule deer. Unfortunately the bison were too far away to get a good look
