TRAVEL GUIDE TO CANADA
DIVERSE ACTIVITIES
The 650,000 sq. km (250,000 sq. mi.)
province has more attractions than you'll
have time to experience. Kids are drawn
to places such as Apex Trampoline Park in
Saskatoon and Foam Lake Water Park,
sporting its Olympic-sized pool, 39-m
(128-ft.) waterslide and splash park with
beach entry (

Saskatchewan's 250-plus museums
appeal to all ages, with topics as varied as
a pioneer home and 1913 school in the
Hudson Bay Museum, and a CN steam
engine and old-style caboose in the Melville
Railway Museum (www.townofhudson
bay.com;
www.melville.ca ). Art galleries
are as diverse as the unique and storied
Humboldt Historic Murals—a series of
paintings decorating downtown build-
ings—and the Moose Jaw Museum & Art
Gallery which features a First Nations
beadwork collection (www.humboldt.ca;
www.mjmag.ca ).
Nature-lovers also have no shortage of
places to visit. Hikers and cross-country
skiers can look for many species of
mammals along the trails in the Turtle
