Family Activities in Regina
Regina has a strong family programming scene year-round, anchored by its library branches, community centres, parks, and a handful of cultural institutions that make free or low-cost family activities consistently accessible.
Regina Public Library
With 148 upcoming family events across its branches, Regina Public Library is the single largest source of family programming in the city. Events run almost every day of the week across locations — storytime, crafts, science activities, coding workshops, and drop-in programs for all ages. All are free. No library card is required to attend.
Community centres and City Recreation
City of Regina Recreation runs 41 upcoming family events through its community centres and parks — drop-in activities, registered programs, and public events spread across every part of the city. Community associations add significant programming on top of that. Al Ritchie Community Association alone has 77 upcoming events and is one of the most active neighbourhood organizations in the city.
Parks and outdoor activities
Wascana Park is Regina's best free family destination — open green space, the lake waterfront, cycling trails, and outdoor events and performances throughout summer. It's well-suited for all ages and never requires admission. In winter, free outdoor skating rinks are set up at community centres across the city.
The Wascana parkrun is a free, weekly 5km run at Wascana Park that welcomes all ages and abilities — including kids running alongside parents.
Museums and cultural attractions
The Royal Saskatchewan Museum is free admission and covers natural history, First Nations culture, and Earth sciences — consistently one of the best free family options in the city. RCMP Heritage Centre runs 8 upcoming events and is a popular stop for families interested in Canadian history.
Sports for families
Taking kids to watch live sport is one of the most affordable family outings in Regina. FC Regina soccer, Regina Red Sox baseball at Currie Field, and Regina Pats hockey at the Brandt Centre all offer family-friendly atmospheres and accessible ticket prices. Saskatchewan Roughriders home games at Mosaic Stadium are a city-wide family tradition — football season runs June through November.
