The Visitor Reception Centre in Val Marie is often the first stop for visitors in the exploration of the beautiful Grasslands National Park. Be sure to come in and check out the displays! Coins may be purchased while supplies last. Located in southwest Saskatchewan, the Sask Skies Geotour will take you on a journey through the vast and varied landscapes of the Cypress Hills Destination Area. Walk through native prairie grasslands where bison still roam in Grasslands National Park. Discover natural wonders, the old west, dinosaurs, fabulous food, and how to fly through the trees (though not necessarily in that order). See for yourself why we say – “It’s time to explore."
FYI You will receive a door prize ticket at each Satellite event you attend leading up to the Mega besides the one you receive in your swag bag to make your chances of winning even better.
