The Top Places to Visit in Saskatchewan in 2026

Sponsor Logo

Wide open skies and long sightlines welcome racers when they touch down in Saskatchewan. Since The Amazing Race Canada season 1, the province has delivered pressure cooker challenges that were make or break to the racer’s journeys. Downtown streets, riverfront paths, and civic landmarks have all played host to high stakes moments including the RCMP Heritage Centre and Mosaic Stadium in Regina, to the Wanuskewin Heritage Park and Hotel Saskatchewan in Saskatoon.

Some of the province’s most memorable race visuals come from its landmark settings. Challenges set near Regina’s Wascana Centre place racers among cultural institutions and open green space, while CFL team the Roughriders have contributed to physical and endurance tests. But it is the province’s impressive lentil production that really put them on the challenge map, with the iconic search for mini moose in the inaugural season

For visitors, that same sense of space becomes part of the draw. Indigenous cultural experiences, historic downtown districts, local food scenes, and long open road drives between destinations turn Saskatchewan into a journey that feels grounding and expansive all at once. It is a province that rewards slowing down even if the race itself never does.
