Moose Jaw is known for its rich history, vibrant culture and unique attractions. Often referred to as the ‘Friendly City’, Moose Jaw offers a delightful blend of small-town charm and intriguing history, making it a must-visit destination in the province.
One of its most famous attractions is the Tunnels of Moose Jaw, an underground network that brings to life the city’s fascinating past. These tunnels, originally built for heating systems, later became a part of the city’s lore as they were used during Prohibition for bootlegging and, according to legend, by the infamous gangster Al Capone. Guided tours through the tunnels offer an entertaining and educational glimpse into this intriguing history.
The city is also home to the iconic Moose Jaw Spa, the largest geothermal mineral water spa in Canada. Visitors can relax and rejuvenate in the natural mineral-rich waters, making it a perfect stop for those seeking a bit of pampering. For aviation enthusiasts, the Western Development Museum and the Canadian Forces Snowbirds aerobatic team, based in Moose Jaw, offer insights into Canada’s aviation history and provide thrilling aerial displays during special events. The city’s historic downtown, with its beautifully preserved heritage buildings, offers a variety of boutique shops, local restaurants and cultural experiences.
The friendly atmosphere and rich history make Moose Jaw a unique and inviting destination in the heart of Saskatchewan.
