Fantastic education. Took all my Grandkids.

R. Paisley

Excellent display of period furniture and decor of Regina's political elite in the early 1900s. The surrounding grounds are splendid.

Another job site

RH House

Slice of Sask history from as early as late 19th century. Will need to come back for a tour of preserved upper class living items and ways.

Renee Deslaunais

This was an incredible museum. They guides and staff are so knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed our time there and can't wait to return. Such a beautiful museum filled with mystery and history.

Government tea house was such a unique experience! All the staff are super nice and attentive even though they are volunteers!!! I'm so impressed and appreciative of what they do. Great place for experience history and fun place to take young girls and for friends get together. You get to enjoy a very lovely black tea along with finger sandwiches and a dessert (victorian tea set) or you can just choose dessert or just sandwiches. Would love to come again! After the tea, you can also tour the government house to learn a little bit of history!

Jasmine Liska

The teas are fantastic (affordable and delicious with friendly volunteers), although the tickets sell out very quickly. We were lucky to get tickets at the last minute from the waiting list. The house/museum is gorgeous-- definitely worth checking out. If you do go, look closely at the doorknobs and hinges -- the people who designed, constructed, and restored the house seemed to pay attention to even the most minute details.

Amazing history.

Astraea Sam

My kids learned a little history today

Anthony Kwan

The tour was fun and interesting.

Jessica Wright

One of our favorite places to go with kids. Look for Jocko the monkey and then head to the basement to play.

Sharon Young

Beautiful place to walk around.

David Humble

Very historic site.

Hun Lee Photography

Lovely place with lots of parking space.

Jaret Metzler

It's not a big place, but they do have some interesting memorabilia. I was here for the Easter egg hunt with my daughter. It was an amazing experience and it was free!

Chydova

Very nice museum. We got a very informative tour even though there was three of us, the lady giving the tour was very friendly. The admission is free, but donations are welcomed. Will visit again when in Regina.

Richard Tseng

A lovely tour guide led us into 1905. It was a wonderful time travel.

Mark Pasqua

Was alright

Jessica Rawn

If you like history, tea parties and giggles you should go. I went with my 64 year old mom and 8 year old daughter for the high tea. Get dressed up for extra fun.

Tim Allan

This winter season was disappointing as the maintenance staff at Government House in Regina decided not to clear the snow on walkways in the gardens. This is the first time since I moved into the neighbourhood in 1997.

Cole Engel

It's a beautiful space with lots of opportunities for pictures. Even has a museum of sorts.

Greg Lawrence

Historic seat of Government in Saskatchewan.

Lawrence Hung

It’s a wonderful place to visit. Nice people there.

I was back 'home' with my children for a month and wanted to show them the history or Regina, so a stop to Government House was a must. We took the guided tour along with my mom (who has been there several times) and the tour guide was very good, even taking extra time at the end to spend time with my children who had many questions for her. After the tour, we visited the children's playroom in the basement, which my children loved; most especially my daughter who loved dressing in period costume and using the play kitchen to bake up all manner of meals and treats for her 'guests' who arrived by horse and cart. My children enjoyed their experience so much in fact, that we had to make another 2 trips for them to visit the museum and interactive areas. In this day of constant technology change, it was fun for us parents and grandparents to watch the children learn how 'old' televisions, telephones, etc. worked while using them to learn about Canadian and Saskatchewan history. After the museum closed, we enjoyed a walk through the gardens and appreciated the shade during the 35C heat, too. My children have made this location a must-do and already have it at the top of their lists of things to do the next time we visit the Queen City.

JP Pasnak

The Government House Historical Society puts on an excellent tea.

Jon Bowes

Good tour of an interesting building

CD Turn

This is a great museum. Get a tour of the facility and then self guide afterwards it is worth it.

neil fisher

Great interpretive materials and presented in a dynamic interesting manner too. I was so incredibly lucky to meet the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, her Honour Vaughn Solomon Schofield - who was super cool. Saskatchewan leads all Canadian provinces for having the highest number of female Lieutenant Governors and I think that's pretty wicked. ????

Chris Burgess

Rich history, nicely laid out tour

Jordan Smith

We were given a fantastic tour of the grounds and museum during our visit and honestly I was suprised at just how much history one house had! This is a must for those visiting regina to learn the history of Saskatchewen's Royal City

Samuel Bourassa-Blanchette

I had a great visit of the restored 1905 governor house. The guide was interactive, resourceful and friendly. I would definitely recommend it.

Tammy Wilks

Wonderful guide, charming security and we sang along to a Christmas Carol, took 199 photos and loved every minute of it!

Adamma Ejike-Iloka

The tour guide was super good. She really knows what she is doing. She made me go centuries back.

Jeremy Johnston

Great little museum that tells human stories, a nice change from most museums.

Enjoyed the trip down the history lane. How did Governor General and his family live, how did they entertain guests, how does formal dining look like, where did guests sleep - know all this and more for free. Deserves donations.

Matthew van Erp

We attended the POE dinner with the Lt Governor. Thank you very much for all the help!

John Weber

Free, old lieutenant governor house, from 1890. Well preserved. Occasionally actors act out roles from old time periods. Surprising this is free. About one hour attraction.

Priscila Coelho

Beautiful gardens and tour of the house

Sherry Lee

A historical treasure for the entire family!

Dylan Bourassa

An old and historically important place. Please be respectful.

The e-Scene

I loved the Government House Museum after two visits and need to visit a third time to finish the tour. Normally this Museum would only take one visit, but first attempt, I left the Hostel with my South Korean sidekick tour partner whom goes by the alias ........ Hopkins ! .......... a little late. Anyway, after taking us on a one hour added to our trip really long short cut we arrived 20 minutes before closing and so we split up dashing around the house trying to take as many photos as humanly possible within are limited time budget. Day two we arrived an hour and a half before closing and didn't quite wrap up the full house tour. This is a must see Museum for everyone, singles, couples, families and is wheelchair accessible. The security staff and Lovely Hostess are friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the History of Government House and exhibits enhancing the overall experience of this must see Museum for Canadians and tourists alike. The admittance is free plus you take home a 49 colour page Government House booklet absolutely free, but there is a donation box for those whom appreciate Government House enough to offer a little support. ;)

Sheila Warner

very beautiful staff is friendly and helpful

Ella Krivelis

Great exposition and awesome guide that we had during the visit. We have learned a lot of interesting facts, we have not known about before. I would definitely recommend.

Shayne Raffard

The tour .... "If these walls could talk" was great. Definitely worth experiencing. Educational and quite enjoyable. We had a great time on this tour.

Lucy Wright

I went there for provincials heritage fair. I've been there before with my guide trip and it was amazing! When I went there there food was really bad. Burned grilled cheese and very very sweet lemonade. Also they had all the exhibits spread out and it wasn't very neat or tidy that way.

Craig Bates

Super beautiful flower garden

Alric Reid

Their scavenger h7nt was a hit with the kids. There's a ton of cool information as well.

History galore

Meghana Raja

The museum here is fantastic! I came later in the day so I didn't have much time before they closed, but it was very interesting to learn about the history of the governor's house and its brief stint as a hospital then a school. The rooms are set up in such detail with several original artifacts, each with their own story. The grounds are also very beautiful to walk around and see the exterior of the house. I loved my visit here!

It was a pleasure taking this free guided tour because our guide was fantastic! She did well to explain the stories behind many of the detailed artifacts in every room. The Government House is well maintained, clean and run professionally. We didn't have time to visit the museum part this time but will definitely go back to check it out too.

J Tinker

Fantastic place to site see through! If you appreciate old relics, hard wood floors and history... this is the place for you! Friendly knowledgeable staff. Can browse around yourself or take a guided tour. Note: grab the mystery paper from the side room before so u can hunt properly. The pamphlet that tells you the relics to look for is helpful ???? would love to see this place decorated at Christmas time. I bet its absolutely beautiful. A joy to look around.
