What to do in Saskatoon

By Shel Zolkewich


HUNGRY FOR NATURE

Witness a traditional dance performance, go for a medicine walk, or even spend the night in a tipi at Wanuskewin Heritage Park. Pick up a birch bark basket at the gift shop and stay for wild rice veggie burgers served on a bannock bun.

LOCAL TREATS

Stock up on the bounty of local products at SaskMade Marketplace including Saskatoon pie filling and maple cream cookies. Or opt for a pre-made basket packed with all the goodies—pemmican, honey, mustard, and the irresistible Kaktus Chips potato snacks.

YUMMY HONEY

Warm up with a few sips of Honey Ginger Liqueur from Black Fox Farm and Distillery. Or sample Gin #7 with cucumbers and caraway in the cozy tasting room. The farm is also home to the largest cut flower operation on the Prairies.

CLASSIC FEET

Hand-made. Built to last. And always stylish. Last Shoes offers the rare commodity of locally crafted shoes and boots for men and women. It’s hard to leave without a pair of the classic derby boot made of pebbled bullhide.

TASTE RESTAURANT GROUP

Discover 4 different places from the Taste Restaurant Group: UNA Pizza, Picaro, Bar Gusto and Cohen's Beer Republic. All located within 15 minutes walk from the hotel. Cohn's Beer Republic has the Rink Burger which is classically Saskatchwan ice hockey and Picaro has a really fun vibe.
