Willow on Wascana
Perched above the lake, this classy eatery has a lot going for it. The stunning patio is a great place to take in the fabulous lake views and the food is stellar, too. Be sure to try the buffalo!

Wascana Place
The geographic and cultural center of Regina is Wascana Centre. Where once a small river flowed, the creation of Wascana Lake in 1908 gave birth to the focal point of this prairie town. This enormous park is a great place to be on a nice day, with walking trails, a bandstand and heaps of green space. Head to Wascana Place to get all the park information you might need. The map Walks Through Wascana Centre gives details on the walks within the park, along with some history.

RCMP Heritage Centre
Learn how the Mounties always get their man at the RCMP Heritage Centre. Several exhibitions chart the past, present and future of these iconic Canadian police officers. Vintage uniforms and some technologically cool displays tell the whole story. This is also part of the RCMP training centre, where recruits learn the ropes. Interesting stuff, but it doesn't stray too far from the Dudley Do-Right stereotype. Tours and a multimedia presentation are included with the cover charge.

Royal Saskatchewan Museum
Not just another museum, the Royal Saskatchewan Museum offers great insight into the people and geography that come together to make Saskatchewan. The three main galleries all have their own flavor, focusing on the earth, animals and Aboriginal peoples. Hyper-real prairie dioramas tell the story of the native fauna and the cultures that lived off the harsh land. Sweat lodges, dinosaurs and deer all make an appearance.

Provincial Legislature
If you want to tell the premier what you think of Saskatchewan, head over to the Provincial Legislature . The Leg is a pretty cool structure, with marble floors and some nice woodwork. There are free tours (held every half-hour) and a great lawn out front, perfect for Frisbee or political demonstrations - whichever you prefer.

Eco-Party! Dragon Boat Tours
If you have a group of friends, Eco-Party! Dragon Boat Tours will take the crew for a paddle around the lake. If it's just you and your main squeeze, it also offers 'Love Boat Cruises' (per couple around C$300), where a gondolier chauffeurs you about the lake - very romantic.

Cathedral Village Free House
Easily spotted by the enormous red pig out the front, this big ol' place is a great spot to grab a drink with friends. Microbrews are on tap, nightly specials bring the crowds and the requisite patio is here, too.

Soho
Hip and happening on either the right or the wrong side of the tracks; DJs, theme nights and much debauchery ensue come the weekend. You can get a meal if you're hungry, but you're really here to dance.

Regina Plains Museum
The tiny and simple Regina Plains Museum has some interesting artifacts, but the big draw is the glass wheat field, where thousands of individual blades of glass form an inverted chandelier of wheat.

Saskatchewan Roughriders
Not to be confused with the Ottawa Rough Riders, the Green Riders, as they're affectionately known, have a devoted fan base, and have achieved cult status within the Canadian Football League (CFL).

The Broken Rack
The place to shoot some stick, with two levels and 18 pool tables covering the hardwood floors. Don't let the grotty mall deter you; it's a perfect place to hang out and watch the Roughriders game.

MacKenzie Art Gallery
With a focus on contemporary art, the MacKenzie Art Gallery, 1km south of the Wascana Centre, is worthy of a wander. The mail hall is a grand space to view local and international pieces.

Fireside Bistro
What an awesome patio! Stationed on a quiet suburban street, this converted Victorian former guesthouse has style. Serving Mediterranean-infused meals in a relaxed atmosphere, it's a good spot for carnivores. Don't forget to ask about the ghost.
