★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a beautiful place to spend the day! A great mixture of museum-like artifacts and outdoor walking trails highlighting the flora and fauna of the area. We loved seeing the new baby bison, and learning so much about Saskatchewan's history and culture.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice biking trails. Saw a herd of buffalo here. This park wasn't open when I got there at 7AM. Am I supposed to jump over the fence to get in?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent visitor experience!
(This is a winter review, but spring and summer offer a whole new range of trails, birds, flowers, plants and other things to explore.)
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 haven't even begun to mention the rich First Nations history, culture, and archaeology of this place, or the amazing restaurant or gift shop.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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 !!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.
