Checking out Meewasin Trail for your afternoon nature fix! Whether you're cycling, jogging, strolling, or simply admiring the scenery, the Meewasin Trail is a must-do when visiting Saskatoon!  My favorite part is that you get to see the picturesque river and immerse yourself in nature as you explore around the city.  I always recommend checking the trail guide!

Another great option to do is to bring your friends and unleash your inner detective at BREAKOUT Escape & Game Lounge!   With seven unique games to choose from, my favourite room is “Dead By Dawn.”  They also have an impressive board game lounge, where you'll find a vast collection of classic and modern games. Get ready for non-stop excitement at BREAKOUT Escape & Game Lounge!

One of the places I recommend for brunch or dinner, especially in the summer, is The Berry Barn.  Whether you're a local seeking a comforting escape or a visitor eager to discover the heart of Saskatoon, the Berry Barn is a must-visit destination. Step inside this barn-feel restaurant on Valley Road.  The food is so delicious, and if you are stopping by here, don’t forget to get the perogies plate. YUM!
