Wanuskewin — Attraction in Corman Park No. 344

Even though it is away from the urban area with no public transit access (it’s a pity that there isn’t), Wanuskewin is a great attraction with beautiful people, grounds, and building, and a must-visit in Saskatoon to learn about its cultural heritage and appreciate the deep connection between the Indigenous way of life and the natural landscape, especially before modern urban development.

They have tours and activities all day long and multiple hiking trails to keep you busy for an entire day. I spent around 2.5 hours here: had bison stew at the café (30 minutes), walked the main hiking loop and a little bit of one side trail (45 minutes, although the map indicated 1 hour), browsed the gift shop (15 minutes), did the Bison walk with an enthusiastic guide (30 minutes) and did a quick browse through the galleries (~30 minutes). I had originally wanted to see the Indigenous performance (which was at 1 PM), but arrived too late for that, so make sure you check the activity timings on the website in advance of your visit. Note that the site is applying for UNESCO World Heritage Site designation, and I hope...

The Bison tour is great! The guide who is also at the reception is cheerful and friendly, gives details of the history and stories. He encourages us to ask him lots of questions and we all learn more - thanks for your welcoming and guided tour ! Almost 50-60 people in all ages walk together! There are Different paths and you can choose where you want to walk. We came across a couple who were the former teachers !!! You know how educational and lovely the place is where we all come together at the same spot!! The statues are beautiful! Tipis, bridges, ponds, and the nature all very peaceful and match We saw Insects like Crickets, spiders, dragonflies and animals like ducks, bisons, blue herons etc. Suitable for all genders, children, adults, seniors There are galleries, souvenir shop, exhibition, boards etc. See and read more about the traditions, customs, tribes, clothings, communities and living of the ancient people Today is free admission so we don’t need to buy...

We were recently visiting Saskatoon and decided on the Heritage Park as our outing for a Monday. We have been to many indigenous parks and museums in the USA so thought we would do something in regards to Canadian indigenous. This park was awesome - beautiful walks on a fall day, interesting stop points, cool gallery installation of a maze made of wood pieces, stunning buffalo displays. This is a slow time of year and the front receptionist gave us some quick info about the park that we appreciated. We never visited the restaurant but it was pretty too. Overall a lovely day with trails that made it easy to imagine life hundreds of years ago. My only issue was while visiting the gift store, some of the items that I was interested in that looked like they may have been made locally were made in India... so made me not trust other items. But that's a small point in an otherwise...
