Jun 3 Saskatoon Indoor Activities for Kids

UPDATED June 2025 Looking to keep your kids active but the weather isn’t cooperating? You might know that I make lists of things to do in Saskatoon! So whether you’re reading this during a cold snap and want warmth to play or on a hot day and in need of shade, this list of Saskatoon indoor activities for kids is for you. This is a consistently updated list of things to do and places to go for active toddlers, preschoolers, and kids to burn off some steam in Saskatoon.

First, do you follow me on Instagram? These city guides are 100% volunteer hours. If you find them useful, go hit follow & spam those socials with likes! Your support (especially on my sponsored posts) is how I earn my living. Sneakers & Lipstick on Facebook // @sneaksandlipstick on Instagram // @sneaksandlipstick. on TikTok.. TIA!

Apex Trampoline - For when the kids are bouncing off the walls.
The Art Room Ink- Snag a spot at their Art Play Club (reservations only)
BabyBean Play Cafe- Parent & tot play cafe in Riversdale. Healthy & affordable meals, coffee, plus toys and activities.
The Backyard SK bouncy castles
Bowling Hunter Bowling has two locations, east and north. Make sure you sign up for KIDS BOWL FREE this summer! And as I’ll mention further in, Stoked Centre has 10 pin lanes including VIP hologram lanes.
Bus Tour- It may not seem like a big deal to us now, but remember how cool it was to take the bus when you were a kid? Strollers and bikes are accommodated. Use the Mobile app to buy your ticket instead of scrounging for change.
Clip n Climb Climbing and obstacle courses await at this family favourite.

DJ’s Adventureland indoor playground in Stonebridge.
Empire Parkour Although Empire focuses on classes and group events, they have two open gym times: Wednesdays 6:30pm-9:30pm and Saturdays 5:00pm-8:00pm. The cost is $15 and it's ages 7+.
Escape Rooms. For kids aged around 8 and up, check out Breakout Escape and Escape City for family-friendly options.

Flynn’s Forest indoor playground in Sutherland.
Fun Factory indoor playground, games room, and arcade for all ages
Grip It. Climbing aged 5+.
Grocery stores- It’s a two-birds situation: you get the food you need, your kids get to stretch their legs. For very little ones, it’s a chance to talk about colour, texture, learn about how to pick out product, and get them helping out.
Kidz Castle indoor playground on Circle Drive North
Indoor Skating (during the season, although ice rental is available at ACT all year round)- When the weather makes braving the Bes rink daunting, this seasonal activity can move indoors.
Leisure Centres- There’s more to Saskatoon’s Leisure Centres than swimming— the Lawson and Lakewood gyms and indoor playgrounds are a good time, too! Check out the drop-in schedule for details.
Saskatoon Public Library. You might think of a quiet space when I say the word but there are lots of opportunities for kids to get active in Saskatoon libraries be it in toy areas or through programming like Wiggle Time. Check out the schedule for more info.

Malls- With underground parking and a mini golf course with the major attraction of giant goldfish Market Mall is a draw for my family. Also there is We Move which offers music and movement classes so if you’ve never been to one, note that they offer drop-in opportunities. Other malls have coin-op rides and lots of room to run.
Mars Mini Golf 3D Glow in the Dark mini golf, need I say more?
Nutrien Wonderhub My favourite indoor activity ever since it opened, Nutrien Wonderhub offers engagement for children 0-12 and beyond. My kids love climbing the crocheted net, working in the potash mine downstairs, acting on the green screen, cookin’ in the kitchen, and more more more.
The Park YXE indoor playground
PinPin Entertainment indoor playground in Warman (formerly CJ’s Climb and Play)
PlayToon indoor playground

Prairie Jurrasic- Lazer tag! Ages 6+.
Pokey’s Pinball- It’s got a neighborhood pub vibe but kids are welcome until 8pm.
Remai Modern Art Gallery- Bright, warm, open, and engaging, Saskatoon’s newest attraction is meant for everyone and thanks to another recent generous gift (of 20 million dollars) from Ellen Remai, admission is by donation. If you can’t afford one, it’s okay, Ellen’s got ya. If your babe is 18 months or under, join their Stroller Tour . And if you’ve got a little mover, just go at their pace. They also have a drop-in, all-ages art workshop Sat & Sun 11-4, free/by donation.
Ruckers- Indoor amusement centre packed with games that win your kids tickets… which they spend on things like yet another bouncy ball.
Sask Aviation Museum Most of the exhibits are a look-don't-touch sitch but the “Tracker Simulator” lets you manipulate the controls in the cock-pit of the plane. And I can see teens getting excited about the flight simulators which let you receive instruction on approach, landing, and taxiing a Cessna 172 with a front surround visual. Summer hours Wed-Fri 9-4, winter hours Wed-Sat 9-4.
Saskatoon Family Centre If you have children 0-5 years old, CHECK THIS PLACE OUT. There is no charge to any of their services and it is meant for everyone in the community. The Family Centre offers parent and child play-together programs, parent and child music and literacy programs, programs and information sessions facilitated by health care professionals, and other supports. Currently, bookings are required to play and create in the centre.
Saskatoon Museum of Military Artifacts- Hear me out. If you ended up with a child (like my son) who’s fascinated by bullets, planes, and uniforms, you need to go to this museum located under the Nutana Legion. Open Thursdays 1-4pm and Saturdays 3-5pm.
Saskatoon Soccer Centre Indoor Playgroup- Open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays in the summer (winter hours differ), the SSCI offers two fully enclosed fields of toys & cars for pre-schoolers & babies at Saskatoon Kinsmen/Henk Ruys Soccer Centre in Lawson Heights. With a $6 drop in rate (babies under 12 months are free), can you go wrong?

Smash Therapy- This one’s for your teens. Let them take out all of their angst! Ages 13+

Stoked Centre at Wilson’s has ziplining, high speed electric go karts, a 10 pin bowling alley, and the coolest arcade in town. If you haven’t seen my previews on Instagram, you’ll wanna check it out.
Swimming- Get a taste of summertime at any of the City’s indoor pools (click here for public, family, and parent and tot times). Just remember to bring your toques for that chilly run to the car afterward!
Taiso has drop-in programming. Use this registration link: https://www.taiso.ca/registration.html
University of Saskatchewan- The Geology/Biology building is home to a mini dinosaur museum your kids will love and the skywalks provide the perfect race track.
Wanuskewin Heritage Park. This is a gorgeous, interesting, important museum that’s made in an interactive way. There is drop-in programming available, see their page for details.

Western Development Museum- Explore Boomtown (where there’s often a blacksmith working away), the car and train bits, the sod house, the fun house... there’s lots to see and plenty of room to run. Plus, there are always travelling exhibits popping up.
Wet Paint Pottery If you have a creative kiddo, let them choose a ceramic to paint, glaze, and then return for once it’s fired. Pretty cool.

I hope this list helps your kids find some active play during a cold spell… or lets them beat the heat, depending on the season you catch this post!
