Reviews of Great Sandhills Museum & Interpretive Centre (Tourist Attraction)

Dawn Fehr

The best small town museum I have seen. So much on display and so well at up

Tim McDougall

Was more interesting than I thought...well worth the small five dollar fee

Reg Neufeld

Really enjoyed seeing the displays in this small museum. Worth the stop to walk through it

The museum was okay. It is out in the middle of nowhere. The picnic outside was one of the best things. We had to pay for a map to get to the dunes, which should be complimentary information.

This review is for the Great Sand Hills and not just the museum. This destination is a must see for anyone living in or traveling through Saskatchewan. You'd never expect something like this that's so close. When you enter the sand hills area it's as if you're in a place that's far away from your typical Saskatchewan flat prairie land. Forget any predispositions you had about Saskatchewan. Visit this place.

Tania Jones

Wonderful museum! Clean, well organized and detailed museum. Definitely worth the stop!

Eric Viklund

A great jumping off place before visiting the sand hills. Good directions and information from people who lived and worked here and played on the sand hills.

Benjamin Akababyeyi

Great tour

Mark King

Stopped by with my family but could not get in due to the fact they have no interac and no ATM in town. They have a credit card swiper plugged into a tablet but would not work for my card. Kids were disappointed but next time I bring cash and write a new review.

Dylan Massé

All the history.

Cam Ross

Unfortunately, was closed. But my interest has not diminished.

Deanna Mock

Best Museum in the area...very interesting...

This place was a pleasant surprise. There is a lot to see inside. A little piece of history hidden in this building. If you are driving through this way, a must stop. Very informative for kids too!

Brenda Doyle

Impressive number of artifacts relating to many aspects of daily life in the area from decades ago. Very well done!!! We also enjoyed exploring the Sandhills thanks to the map provided at the museum. Highly recommend going here.

Vitaliy Yurchenko

Very good museum for small village. The museum very interesting.

Greg Eslinger

This museum is a hidden gem, you wouldnt expect such a good museum to be in a small town but it can hold its own against museums in Regina and Saskatoon.

Michael Herman (Toronto)

Great displays. Great collection of community history books.

Jc Coates

There is quite a bit to see here, both inside and outside the museum, I was really impressed. It's only $5 for an adult admission.

Peter Cudmore

Well worth the $5. A great little stop before visiting the sand dunes.

Aundrea R

Pretty interesting stop. The museum is divided into sections ie dentist office, school, church hospital etc. Don't miss the buildings outside and the super cool school buggy. If you're heading to the sandhills, why not pick up a crazy carpet in the gift shop.

Thierry Deux

Tons to see inside and out. Friendly knowledgeable staff. This is a fantastic small town museum.

Robert “Anaerin” Johnston

Informative and frugal

Jennifer LeBlanc

What an amazing collection!

Richard Haubrich

I was blown away by the quality of the displays. Scepter should be a destination for any prairie history buff.

Lauren Ponto

Alot better then I thought it would be. Lots to see, great information! Found it better then the one in Saskatoon.

Michael Maruszewski

First off The sand dunes themselves were breathtaking ???????? the closest experience you’ll get to the Sahara desert in Western Canada. The reason for the 3 stars are lack of washrooms in the area! Both the museum and co-op were closed at 3:45 pm on Sunday! When google said it was open...The closest open washroom and gas station was in Leader... so I did have to backtrack after 4 hours of driving.

Amanda Beitel

Great little place to stop and relax to learn some history!

Alan Miller

A very well done museum, especially for such a small town.

Michael Wainwright

Neat stuff. Smelly houses

Don W. Powers

History important part of my childhood

Tom Weber

Very interesting but disappointing that only one sand dune is visible.

Lorin Hompoth

Fantastic place to learn the history of the area. This little museum is a gem! Great attention to detail by all the local volunteers that put it together.

Eugene Eslinger

Great place to spend an afternoon

Clayton Ewen

Museum was great.. the actual sand hills not really worth the drive..

Lawrence Fatteicher

Very nice museum for the area. Thx...

Erik Burzinski

Quite a nice museum but also quite a small museum.

Tadas Leketas

Nice place with cool Old things, the maniquens are pretty scary tho

Norma Eslinger

Well worth the trip

Dante Melchiorre

Closed for the season so we didn't get to go in. Hence the 4 star rating. I gave it this high without going in because there was still plenty of information on the outside. Most importantly a map on how to get to the sandhills from Specter. If not for this place we would have missed turn offs.

Parveen Sangah

This place was so gorgeous! We were the only ones here despite it being a warm, sunny Saturday afternoon. The kids loved rolling around in the sand. We spent hours here.

Bonnie Beattie

Best small town museum ever. Sceptre you should be very proud of what you've accomplished.

Laurie Langmo

Loved it definitely recommend it to everyone I talk to

Christianne Blais

It is really impressive how many antiques and things the museum has accumulated and what's more, they've been kept in really good condition! Really cool both inside the museum and outside. There are several exhibits from taxidermy of different wildlife to military and RCMP uniforms to old medical and dental equipment and on and on. Outside boasts four buildings that are unlocked to be explored when the museum is open. More antiques can be found inside. A real gem in the middle of nowhere!

Cyril Adams

One of the best museum that we have visited.
