The IPSCO Wildlife Park about 4 km (21/2 mi.) north of Regina is home to a variety of animals including buffalo, elk, deer and pheasant.

The Regina Plains Museum occupies the former Post Office in Scarth St. It recalls the lives of the plains folk, Indians, Metis and early pioneers and there are reconstructions of a typical turf hut, schoolroom, church, saloon and Red River cart as well as displays of old photographs and artifacts.

The Royal Saskatchewan Museum was established in Regina as the Provincial Museum in 1906 to "secure and preserve natural history specimens and objects of historical and ethnological interest." It was the first museum in Saskatchewan, and the first provincial museum in the three Prairie Provinces.

Visitors to the Museum of Natural History find themselves taken back 2 billion years in time. There are over 100 glass display cabinets devoted to geology, paleontology, archaeology and anthropology. The new Earth Sciences Gallery is quite exceptional with its fascinating series of extremely lifelike dioramas showing mastodons, dinosaurs, etc. (also contemporary wildlife) in their natural environment.

Regina's newest tourist attraction, the 464 sq. m (5000 sq. ft) Saskatchewan Science Center, opened in 1989. Occupying a converted former power station on the north bank of Wascana Lake the Center is rather special in encouraging "hands on" involvement with the sciences (e.g. geology and astronomy). Visitors are able to handle the exhibits, perform experiments and ask questions as well as experiencing simulated space travel and "seeing" their voices reproduced on a computer screen.
