Regina coach charters for tours, games and groups

Regina is easy to move a group around. The airport is 10 to 15 minutes from downtown, a bypass keeps through coaches off city streets, and many group visits sit around Wascana Centre.

Wascana Centre in one stop

The Saskatchewan Legislative Building offers free tours in English or French. Groups of 10 or more must book ahead. Buses park north of the Queen Elizabeth II Gardens: follow Legislative Drive east, then turn left onto Walter Scott Way along the lake.

The Royal Saskatchewan Museum, the MacKenzie Art Gallery and the Conexus Arts Centre are all in Wascana Centre too. One parked coach can serve a morning of visits.

The RCMP Heritage Centre

The centre is at 5907 Dewdney Avenue, beside the RCMP Academy. It has on-site parking for motor coaches. Pre-booked groups of 10 or more can enter before regular opening hours, which helps a tight schedule. Book the slot first, then set the coach times around it.

Game days and big nights

The Roughriders play at Mosaic Stadium, which also hosts concerts. Pats hockey, concerts and trade shows draw crowds too. On those nights, choose a pick-up point a short walk from the gate and agree a departure time. Traffic leaves all at once. Send the date and start time when you book so the pick-up can be planned around the crowd.

Airport, bypass and clocks

Regina International is about 7 km south-west of downtown. Commercial vehicles other than the airport's taxi provider pick up in the commercial lane in the short-term lot, across the road from the arrivals doors. The airport publishes a curb map for commercial vehicles. Regina Transit route 24 also serves the airport, but a group with luggage moves faster on one coach.

The Regina Bypass, a 44 km twinned route opened in 2019, links Highway 1 and Highway 11 around the south and east of the city. Saskatchewan does not change its clocks, so check connection times with other provinces.
