Good service and food at restaurant. Very interesting displays. Lots of walking on the site if you wish. Golf cart may be available for elderly.
Just an hour's drive from Saskatoon for the best bannock in the world! (We made the trip to see the "Walking With Our Sisters" art installation which was amazing in its impact both emotionally and culturally.) The Batoche site is well worth the visit to remind us of the battle that occurred there, the struggles of the Metis, and of the early settlement days in Saskatchewan's history.
The staff are exceptionally knowledgable. The grounds are well kept for the walking tour and the whole experience is very educational. For roughly $10 admission you are gaining very insightful information into Saskatchewan's history. Highly recommend checking this place out.
Batoche National Historic Site is a wonderful place to visit with a church, cemetery and farm houses that represent life of Metis residents in the mid-nineteenth century. There are numerous activities on site during the summer such as bicycle races. Visiting the entire site takes at least three hours.
Great place with lots of history. Our guide was awesome and really knew her stuff. So interesting and informative listening to her talk about he area and what all went on in the area in he past. Lots of cool buildings and homes from the era. Great place for school field trips!
