Room after room of wonderful dioramas with the flora and fauna of different ecoregions of Saskatchewan. You can see a mother and baby beavers inside their lodge and look underwater in the pond surrounding them. There are several dioramas with insects at 12 x actual size. High quality background paintings. There is also a good dinosaur section and an interesting indigenous section.

At the Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Regina, we walked through the natural world of Saskatchewan, prehistoric and modern. In the lower floor, we saw prehistoric life. The largest exhibit is a full-size replica of "Scotty", the largest T. Rex known, who was found in Saskatchewan. Scotty's original bones reside in a museum built near where he was found. We saw other impressive fossils, such as an extinct species of bison, whose horns rival those of a Texas longhorn. On the upper floor, we were on the same level as Scotty's head. The rest of that floor has dioramas showing all the natural habitats in Saskatchewan. I had no idea how many different natural areas Saskatchewan has; the province stretches from the subarctic region in the north to the more temperate regions by the US-Canada border. If you just strolled past each exhibit, taking only enough time to admire the scenery and read the general descriptions, it would take an hour or two. However, if you stopped to read the explanatory signs that list every plant and animal, it could take all day! There is no restaurant in the museum. However, told us about all the eateries within easy walking distance. They let us back in after lunch without charging us a second admission.

This museum was a great place to learn about Saskatchewan's geography and history. The exhibits were extremely well-designed! I thought it was also the perfect size, informative without being overwhelming. We spent around 2 hours here, which was enough to experience everything. Admission is by donation.
