Things to Do

Must-See Attractions this Season

World's Largest Teepee

This amazing structure is always cool to check out in every season. The beautiful painted murals tell the stories of the indigenous people of the area. Each colour on the structure is symbolic; white for purity, red for the rising and setting sun and blue for the flowing river. Standing in the middle you feel miniature and can appreciate the amazing feat of building this Olympic monument. You can't miss the World's Largest Teepee on your stay in Medicine Hat!

Local Tip: Look at the landscape below the teepee to see if you can spot the native archeological site and ancient teepee rings.

Fall Beauty

Head to Police Point Park for stunning natural beauty as the 240 acres turn into an autumn kaleidoscope. Follow the paved or shale paths or strike out on your own through the cottonwood trees, there's plenty of space to spread out and find a quiet spot. The park is bordered by the South Saskatchewan river and cliffs that are stunning in the prairie sunsets. Bring your four-legged friends, but keep them on leash and don't forget your camera- this park is definitely capture worthy.

Local Tip: Plan to spend at least 30 minutes at the park, but we recommend an hour, and keep your eyes open deer, beavers and more wildlife are often spotted here.

Fun with Axes

We're kind of obsessed with axe throwing right now. It's super fun and a great way to get out the frustrations of work week. Grab your spouse or best bud and book a time online at SixOneSix Entertainment in downtown Medicine Hat. They also have VR and a golf simulator at the same location. You could spend the whole evening releasing stress and laughing (because who doesn't look ridiculous with a VR headset on waving their hands at invisible objects).

Local Tip: If you're going downtown grab some supper at The Mezz we love the Creamy Garlic Tenderloin flatbread. Also don't forget to try some local beer, Travois Ale Works is just also downtown in case you need an "after axe throwing" drink.
