I love going and walking around the western development museum. Always love it there. Way back when…read moreI was elementary school over at St.Bernard Catholic school I always got into choir and one of many places that my choir group sang at was Western development museum and I mean my choir did have the best conductor of them all Mr.Albert Couture. One of things I'd really like to see in Saskatoon one day is Western Development Museum and the Saskatoon Police Department partner up and open a Jail museum I've always wondered what all the jails of Saskatoon looked like from like all the originals to the current one in this day and age

January 12, 2019 we held an 80th birthday for our mother at the Museum. We were given the…read moreupstairs area overlooking one of the main street sets. Really a beautiful setting. Our guests started arriving around 3:00 pm and had access to snacks and a full bar. While it is not obvious there is a service elevator available in case you have guests that struggle with stairs and we did. I have to start with compliments to the staff. Everyone we encountered was cheerful, helpful and working hard to make our evening a success. I spend a lot of time eating out and I was, quite frankly, stunned at how much effort these folks put in. This was a sit-down dinner, something our guests appreciated. We started with a wonderful light garden salad. Followed by roast beef, Yorkshire puddings, baby potatoes, and the only small complaint I would make; frozen peas and carrots, and a delicious gravy. Everything was hot, cooked well and delicious. I loved that they also supplied horseradish for the roast beef. We finished with Saskatoon berry pie with real whipped cream. My brother joked that we might need a "lot" more whipped cream and a few minutes later a huge bowl of the stuff appeared on our table. Very cool.

We found this place in a travel pamphlet. The name of this place left me expecting a science world…read moretype place, which is something that they have planned for down the road. It is a well-priced non-profit organization and the kids are had fun.

This is an "I wish" museum. I wanted to explore the history of Ukrainian immigration and settlement…read morein Saskatchewan. A large number of displays present a wide range of artifacts. However, I wish....the information cards were posted on the walls....sometimes 6 feet from where visitors are permitted. The font is too small to make them legible. I wish I was able to read the information accompanying the displays. I suspect if you are of Ukrainian heritage then the museum would be a delight in revisiting family memories.

The most unusual thing about this museum is that many of the artifacts are right in front of you,…read morenot behind glass or in cabinets. You can get right up and look at the garments, check the intricacy of the elaborate cross-stitching. (The museum trusts you to not touch!) Throughout the museum, exhibits explain the hardships and the joys of the Ukrainian settlers in Canada. It is very moving and very beautiful. Sharon, the woman behind the desk, is an enthusiastic representative of the museum.

We were there for a few hours and ended up not running out of things to do. We were very happy with the overall quality of the areas in this building, and the support of the staff.

On second thought, I entirely can't stand this place and will avoid it unless there's a "must see"…read moremusical act coming through. Even then, I regret going. I had previously mentioned the acoustics being good, they are in fact quite terrible. Throughout all the shows I've been to here, the sounds I here are 50% the band on stage and 50% the audience chattering through the entire show. The venue would be much better if they could somehow make the sound from the audience not reflect back onto the crowd from every angle. To the people who pay $20-35 for concert tickets: please stop yelling, chattering, and regaling stories of your life throughout the entire set. Why the hell did you buy the tickets in the first place if you didn't come to listen to the show?

This is probably one of my favourite venues to go to for concerts as they get many bands that I…read morelike. The reason I have reviewed this 3/5 and not 5/5 is because of the customer service and their VIP services. Every single time I get tickets to a concert whether it be on a VIP experience website or on their ticket site I always have problems except if I order through Ticketmaster. The problems include getting these tickets, the staff being uneducated in the concert going on and many other problems through the years I have went here. The VIP experience here was absolutely horrible compared to how other venues handle their VIP ticket holders. I waited outside forever waiting to get in, in -28 weather and then after actually getting in and meeting the band we were thrown out of the venue. That had stopped me from buying VIP tickets again because I had heard other people's stories on how they were handled the exact same way. All in all the quality of musical acts they get are fantastic and the venue is in great shape. The staff is usually nice, and I do plan on going back once they get another good band.
