Things to Do While in Saskatoon: A Local’s Guide to Family-Friendly Fun

Whether you're visiting Saskatoon for the first time or you're a local looking for something new, our city is bursting with charm, creativity, and connection. From hidden gems to must-see attractions, here’s our guide to some of the best things to do while you're here — especially if you’ve got kids in tow or love making memories as a family!

1. Explore the Meewasin Valley Trails

You can't come to Saskatoon without experiencing the beauty of the South Saskatchewan River. With paved and unpaved trails winding through parks, forests, and scenic lookouts, it’s perfect for walks, stroller rides, or picnic adventures.

2. Check Out the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo

Affordable and family-friendly, the zoo offers a great day out for all ages. The park is home to native Canadian animals and has beautiful gardens, a playground, and seasonal events.

3. Grab Ice Cream at Homestead or Fable

Local favourites like Homestead Ice Cream (an old-fashioned classic) or Fable (unique and modern!) offer sweet treats for warm days. Pro tip: Rent a Ninja Creami from The Memory Hub and create your own ice cream night right at your Airbnb!

4. Visit the Remai Modern Art Gallery

If you enjoy modern art or just want to explore a unique space by the river, the Remai Modern is worth a visit. The family studio on weekends is great for kids who love to create.

5. Go Market Hopping

Stop by the Saskatoon Farmers’ Market or the Night Market (seasonal) for local vendors, handmade goods, and fresh eats. It’s also a great place to meet the creative people behind Saskatoon’s small businesses.

6. Pack a Picnic for Kinsmen Park

With a splash pad, carousel, and wide-open green space, Kinsmen Park is a classic spot for family fun. Bring a picnic, let the kids run, and take in the skyline views.

7. Simple Family Fun

If you're hosting or staying with family, don’t forget to check out The Memory Hub! We offer inflatable movie screens, bouncy castles, and other fun rentals to take your get-together to the next level — with zero hassle.

Traveling with littles? We've got you covered there too. Our baby gear rentals — like white noise machines, blackout curtains, playpens, and toddler beds — make it easy to pack light and help everyone sleep better while you're away from home. Whether it’s a fun weekend with friends or a quiet stay with your baby, we’ve got the extras that make a big difference.

8. Wander Broadway Avenue

Broadway is full of character — with coffee shops, local boutiques, bookstores, and cafes. A great spot to explore while pushing a stroller or sipping something local.

9. Ride the Prairie Lily Riverboat (Summer)

See Saskatoon from the water! The Prairie Lily is a charming experience offering river tours and sunset cruises.

10. Visit Wanuskewin Heritage Park

Just outside the city, Wanuskewin is a powerful and beautiful space to learn about Indigenous culture, history, and the land. It’s peaceful, educational, and incredibly meaningful for all ages.

What are the hours of operation?
Our hours of operation vary from day to day. However, we are open for most days of the week except for Sundays. Add items to your cart and check availability to see all the hours available for drop off and pick up.
If I return my rental early, will I get money back?
No, early returns will result in an early end to your rental period and do not result in a return of any funds.
Is there a delivery and pickup service?
Yes! Both delivery and pickup are available within the limits of Saskatoon. Delivery and Pickup come at an additional cost of $5 each. Add on the service when viewing your cart! When you place your order, you'll be able to select when you'd like us to deliver or pick up your order. However, it does not guarantee that we will be able to arrive at your selected time. It depends on how busy we are with deliveries that day. We always try to arrive within an hour of your selected time, if a more drastic change in time is required, we will contact you.
What if I want to pick up or drop off the equipment?
You are more than welcome to come and pick up your equipment or to return it. The Memory Hub is currently a home based business that is located in Brighton at 236 Westfield Road in Saskatoon, SK. Upon arrival, call 306-716-4009 and an employee will meet you at the door or your vehicle to deliver or pick up rented equipment.
What if I don't pick up my order or am not home for the delivery?
If you don't pick up your order at your specified time, you will be contacted and given 24 hours to pick up (unless otherwise arranged). If you do not pick up your order within the time allotted, your order will be cancelled and a return will not be issued. If the customer is not home upon delivery or pickup of equipment, the delivery employee will continue to knock/call/wait for a maximum of 5 minutes. If no one is home to receive or return the items, the equipment will be returned to the store location and the customer has 24 hours to pick up or return the items. Additional fees or legal action may occur if items are not returned.
Why should I rent instead of buying my own?
When browsing, you will see the base price listed under each item, however, a $5 base price does not mean you will pay $150 for a month rental. Every item has a price variation that changes depending on how long you rent it for. Renting an item for 3 months will still be cheaper than buying it brand new. I recommend adding an item to your cart and selecting the date range to see the price for the length you desire. Did you know, on average, your children will only use the item for 1-3 months? It always felt like a waste for me to purchase so many things just to deal with storing or reselling them. Renting is also a very sustainable way to save money and help the environment by reducing waste. When an item becomes worn, we will sell it at a low cost to help keep things affordable or we will give it to someone in need.
I'll have my kids with me, can the items be loaded/unloaded for me?
Absolutely! We know that it can be tricky to get things done with littles in tow, that's why we will gladly help you out by carefully loading and unloading the rental items for you.
Where should I park?
Feel free to park in front of or beside the house at any available spot. Then give us a call from your vehicle at 306-716-4009 and we meet you at the door or at your vehicle. In the winter, feel free to park in the back parking pad if snow piles are taking up space.
