Things to do in Moose Jaw

Temple Gardens Hotel & Spa is located in downtown Moose Jaw, a destination that boasts historic buildings, a colourful past and a surprisingly sophisticated future.

This small prairie city boasts the highest number of tourist attractions per capita in Canada and the best news of all is that most of these attractions are within walking distance of our hotel. From morning to night visitors can enjoy everything from vibrant concerts, to casino fun, to great local artists’ galleries, and a relaxed chat over Saskatoon berry scones and a cappuccino.

Little Chicago Entertainment

Even Al Capone's goons need a place to blow off some steam and relax for an evening.
