This place has great walking trails with information and site about indigenous people. There is paid parking and an area where you get a chance to see the bison grazing from afar. Great place to take the kids to learn about indigenous history. There is a small museum with paintings and artifacts and also a gift shop. Overall and excellent place to take walks with family.

It’s tricky to review this place. On some levels it’s 5 stars. On others, less so. As a place to wander in gentle prairie hikes it’s an oasis. Sitting a few meters from bison and watching them graze was a delightful experience. The art gallery though lacks enough information to appreciate the interesting art in display. Before visiting I hadn’t realized there was a performance, so I missed what looked like an interesting and informative presentation. Before going, I’d suggest to check the schedule and plan your trip accordingly. The gift shop in downtown Saskatoon was more complete than at this site, and a visit there should definitely be part of your experience of this venue.

Really cool museum! It was a shame we didn’t have more time to look around since we were mostly going for the restaurant and gift shop (we still had to pay the entrance fee 14$ and pay for parking which in my opinion is unacceptable since you have to drive considering there isn’t bus service and you cannot walk). Make sure you make a day of it and stop by the cafe.

Nice place to visit with museum, trails and playground. Very beautiful in the fall.

This is a must see. Spiritual as well as informative.If your planning on going plan for a full day lots to see and do.Restaurant on site good food. Gift shop on site.Bison 🦬 in field .

Beautiful day to honor National Truth and Reconciliation Day by walking the trails at Wanuskewin Heritage Park. Thank you.

Was a very cool tour. Live bison and just a beautiful walk. Good time of year to go. Cool kids playing apparatus. Have to pay to park though.

Nice trails to walk. The valley is nearby Saskatchewan River. It is very unique in flat area of Saskatoon. Unfortunately, I didnt see the bison in my trip, so I dont rate the 5 star for this measum. You may update the reviews for this site.

This was a nice experience. The daily programming (walks and dance) added to the experience. It was fairly small though.There is a very nice children’s park outside as well and plenty of trails when the weather is good.

Amazing beautiful place. I was here 4 years ago and enjoyed the hike and the peacefulness. This year there are so many beautiful renovations to the buildings and the addition of a Buffalo herd. A must see in my eyes

Enjoyed my visits years ago. Great history, trails for a memorable experience.

The kids loved the Park. Lots of amazing trails. Great tour guide (school field trip) the kids really enjoyed the Tipi and seeing how it was built. We were lucky and the Buffalo were close by for us to see

Had a great visit, enjoyed to hoop dancing & the hiking trails are splendid👍

Really well presented, beautiful paths to stroll through. The Buffalo were cool to see.

A great place to learn about the People that lived here before we settlers did. A great place to see beautiful aboriginal artwork, culture, food and people. Well worth the drive! Its a beautiful place all year round but especially in the autumn months. I always love returning to this place.

Wanuskewin is a great place to visit for young and old alike. All buildings and some trails are wheel chair accessible. The main facility includes learning facilities, a cafe, clean, accessible washrooms, performance areas and high quality displays. The gift shop is worth visiting. Outdoors, children will enjoy a well-outfitted playground and sometimes, the opportunity to see many bison at close distance (not guaranteed). A variety of informative tours are well worth taking and are at no additional charge to the modest entrance fee. Parking fees are reasonable.

A wonderful place to spend an afternoon alone or with family - there are art exhibits, playgrounds, trails, history, & wildlife.

Could spend hours, even days here. Calm, relaxing. Displays are so meticulous and so well done. Can actually feel the Indigenous connection to this place.The food in the restaurant is very good....ok..amazing! Something for everyone and you cannot go away hungry.

Great historical museum of indigenous artefacts and historical significance to the plains cree people of Treaty 6 with over 7 kilometers of trails

Excellent visitor experience!They are covid conscious when entering, with masks, distancing and contact tracing. Once you get out on the trails, lots of space to walk alone.There are lots of snowshoes, free to borrow, for a fun adventure. But the trails are well packed and easy to walk in normal footwear.Even on a windy day, the lower trails in the valley are sheltered and pleasant, and the high lookouts provide gorgeous river views. Today even offered an eagle flying by, on January 2!And I havent even begun to mention the rich First Nations history, culture, and archaeology of this place, or the amazing restaurant or gift shop.

A very nice lodge with an interesting permanent exhibit with will probably take 30 to 60 minutes to read/look through.Also two art galleries with changing content. The day we went there was some tapestries with native and modern images. The second room had a long linen bolt of cloth with the report on reconciliation printed on it with some native imagery as back ground.Outside is 1/2 hr to 3 hours of trails. Nice walks with some placards.And there is a small bison herd. 25 animals I think. You cant get too close but you probably can see them clearly as they move around the property.I would not say this is a must see attraction, but a good way to spend an afternoon.

Located just a few minutes north of Saskatoon is the perfect place to learn about the people who lived (and continue to live) in balance with what the land had to offer. Literally meaning to be at peace with oneself, Wanuskewin is home to archeological discoveries from more than 6000 years ago. The museum is beautiful and very interactive. And if youre more of an outdoors individual, then you can go hiking around the valley and explore (with snow shoes for rent included with the admission price).

Very interesting tour. We had a personal tour with Bailey very informative. Will visit again when we have more time. Gift shop need more hand made local items not made in .....A live dig like head smash in would be so cool, so many people there were very interested in the dig and the process. A must see if you are in Saskatoon.

Had a great time here, arrived with a group of 6 visiting from Ontario. Started off with 2pm dance, Ive forgotten the dancers name but he was amazing and great with kids. The tour with Bailey was excellent, shes very knowledgeable and engaging, the museum is fascinating and beautiful inside.The restaurant at Wanuskewin was sooo goood, I ordered the Falafel burger with fries. Big portions and decently priced Im already planning my next trip back.

Lovely area! We saw some breathtaking views on the hiking trail... my group came around opening time when the sun had just come up. There were dozens of mule deer, beautiful hoarfrost on all the trees and bush, and fog all along the river. We spent most time outdoors but the museum part is well done and neat to explore as well.

It was a wonderful mix of history, and culture.The location is amazing and the walking trails are beautiful, allowing one to enjoy natures beauty while learning about 5000 years of local history.The Jingle dancer accompanied by a drummer and sings was the perfect end to our visit. Highly recommended.

Fantastic museum with great exhibits and plenty of trails to explore. Stories and exhibits come to life with some great technology and sensors. The grounds are wonderful and there is a huge play structure outside for kids thats unlike any play structure Id seen before.

Its such a beautiful place enriched with indigenous history and culture.

Excellent knowledgeable staff and personnel, learned alot on indigenous Prarie cultures and traditions. Great that they brought the Bison back to the plains and staff showed they really enjoy what they do and believe in the preservation of Wanuskewin

I enjoyed the ethno-biology talk and walk with Sandra Walker. Very informative. We also enjoyed spotting the bison and the demonstration of fancy dance. We had the bison burger for lunch. Tasty in deed!

Great place for kids.

20 minutes North of Saskatoon.Pay for parking.Great place to visit and leave 4-5 hrs to see everything. Wear good walking shoes for the trails.Bring water and a hat.

Great historic site with great hiking trails. The center is not very informative or exciting

Enjoyed their wild rice burger and plant tour. Bit of money for only the two hours that I spent there including parking fee so likely better value if you plan on spending a good part of the day there.

Beautiful area for a short hike and a really cool place to see some bison up close. The food at the restaurant is delicious and the interpretive centre is amazing. Highly recommend checking this place out, especially if youre a local Saskatchewanian - lots of history to be learned!

Stopped in at Wanuskewin to grieve on the day Cowessess announced the 751 potential residential school children who died while attending the school near their reserve. There couldnt be a better place to grieve and to reflect on the sad relationship weve had with First Nations people - and to contemplate a better future together.

Very nice, very informative information at all of thier displays. Friendly helpful staff.

The building and exhibits inside are quite special and do a fantastic job sharing indigenous history.The trails are a gentle hike through the valley with great lookouts. Id go again!

Great and extremely important initiative that falls short by telling very little, so sorry to say. The exhibition about history and artifacts was minimal, a few show cases. The film was even thinner and missed the opportunity to tell and show so much more substance, not merely the concept of holistic worldview of the First Nations. Please fill this amazing building with much more “body”.

Very beautiful place! The playground is great for kids to play on.

This is a must see museum.My kids love coming here and we love the seasonal events they have. During summer they have lots of events going on. Such a beautiful place.

Cycled out there on the Trans Canada Trail/ The Great Trail from the University of Saskatchewan. Was a beautiful 1 hour long cycle. The park is beautiful and has some interesting sights. The rubbing stone was my favourite. Food was more expensive then I was expecting but was adequate for the price, location and ingredients.

A beautiful place yet unknown from most of the tourists. It has trailing within the nature, high land view, different cultural activities with art and fashion. Must recommend to go.

Beautiful place!

Looking for a deep sense of peace, then visit this heritage park and enjoy the culture, a walk, and a lovely meal.

Absolutely beautiful views and great information.

Awesome place. Staff was amazingly friendly and helpful.

Was a great tour and ended it by seeing the Buffalo but would have liked to attend a pow wow😉

A taste of through indigenous history that will open your mind to the real indigenous people of the saskatchewan.

Good to visit with family or friends. You can hike here and there.

Beautiful place!

Plentu to explore and cool paths to walk... even the occasional Deer!

Great place to spend a day! Great park for the kids. Great trails and awesome staff. You need a credit card or change for parking!

So worth a visit. Beautifully done. Wonderful exhibits, outdoor trail, playground, gift shop and restaurant. Best bison burger Ive ever had.

We learned how to pitch a tipi.

Very good and so enlightening.

I had enjoyed the new exhibits, the trails and staff...I will go again 😊

Very nice site, nice trails, quality exhibits (except the damaged bison).

Nice place

I hadnt been for years, and it is still such a lovely place to visit in Saskatoon. We went out to go snowshoeing, they have snowshoe rentals included in admission during the winter. The trails were so pretty! They have updated their galleries recently and the restaurant was very cute, we got some bannock for take out to enjoy at home!

Stunning. Inspiring. Educational. Thought provoking. Incredibly well done.

Absolutely fantastic experience. It was great to see the cultural history and nature being kept so well.

We did an archaeology tour with Honey, her mom chose the name not me, it was fantastic! Tour was very informative and very interesting to learn how the digs and finds have affected even current policy making. The facility, grounds and tour exceeded expectations. Also the Pike Tacos we ate were by far best fish tacos i have ever eaten. We will be back in winter to hear the stories that could not be told that day.

A beautiful place

One of my favorite places to explore in Saskatoon 😊

Amazing place, the guides Katie and Gabriel were fantastic. They have lots of new exhibits with a good mix of youth and adult information (Dec 2020). Good restaurant too if you want to have a bite out there.

Very interesting. They go throughout allot of trouble to make it interesting. Curio shop a little expensive but worth it.

Beautiful location. Amazing history and archeology. And the food is unique and delicious. Dont miss the Bannock!

I enjoyed my trip to this heritage centre. It seemed a bit under construction when we visited. The building is quite beautiful. It was a good day :-)

A good Traditional place to learn about First Nation Way of Life, scenic atmosphere, both inside & out, classroom learning experience, outside Trail, good exercise, spacious clean building,helpful staff, ample parking, gift shop supplies, dining area,

Great place for snowshoeing. Beautiful scenery. Lots of open space, friendly staff. A great way to spend an afternoon.

This land is magical, good medicine to connect to the land and the ancestors. So much history here.

Daughter had her wedding ceremony here ...was perfect for 98 guests. View out the whole wall of windows was spectacular!

A wonderful place for reflection and understanding. Thank you

Beautiful location for a gathering. Spacious banquet room. Food was excellent!

Nice place for a walk.

Beautiful spot. Great facilities and very informative.

Beautiful place to get married. Just take a nice walk through flatland nature.

Amazing play area :)

Amazing site and tremendous history! Definitely one of the top tourist destinations in Saskatoon. The staff were very friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Nice place to go for a walk with family.

Absolutely beautiful experience!

Good, upcoming location well managed by staff. Our guide did a fantastic job of explaining the history/background of the project and the plans to reintroduce the bison at the location. Good family outing place.

The reno is nice, but I wasnt there prior to it, so I dont know how much of a change was made.Chef Jenni has a real attitude and heir of superiority to her. The food is priced rather high for what meager portions youre getting.I do feel like all the space past the entrance way is bare and boring to look at. This place feels more like a place children go on field trips, not a place Id willingly visit on my own.Had taken a trail tour and was talked at with an abundance information and not allowed to touch anything on the path. Didnt feel like I learned anything from it either, would have enjoyed just being able to walk on my own and explore. Instead of being forced to stand and wait for the guide to finish talking and lead us further down the path.

Great renos and worth a visit.

Beautiful scenery so close to the city

A must see First Nations interpretive centre in the heart of the prairies. Experience the way of life through the eyes of the Cree.

Employees Great / Dancer failed to show / First two galleries disappointing / Miss the days of the in-building U of S archeological lab / Not sure which way this is going - verdict yet out / Beavers busy!

Never fails to impress. This has been one of our favourite restaurants for many years!

Beautiful facility, great customer service, and excellent activities for the kids! Happy Aboriginal Day!

Would have been better if there was no snow. Grounds to door was flooded with lots is snow.

VERY Important historical cultural indigenous landmark and ongoing activities. Hope to connect more with the land and local indigenous. Help out even. Aho! All our relations. 💞🏳️‍🌈🦅😷🛠

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Had a pleasant visit and learned how to set up a tipi!

A good place to get back to nature and escape reality

So beautiful, lots to do and see. Kids loved the park and the big slide!

Very interesting place. Has a great little restaurant as well.

Best place to hike and get away from the city . Very tranquil

Wonderful place to go and clear your mind! Learn about native culture and land. Buffalo are present. Although construction is in action dont hesitate to enjoy some food or beverage at the restaurant. They also have an amazing gift shop. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

While you need good weather to thoroughly enjoy, we were able to take in a traditional dance demonstration, view some informative art displays, enjoy a walk on the trails, and play on one of the best playgrounds Ive ever seen. We spent 5 hours there with a toddler.

Lots of open space arround the park. You can purchase traditional merchandise here.
