From Saskatoon (5.5 hours or 6 rounds of Professor Wem’s Mini Golf) & Prince Albert (6.5 hours): Pack the snacks, plan your playlist, and start the debate on what should be your first stop at WEM – spoiler alert: there’s no wrong answer. It’s a road trip you’ll actually want to remember.
From Regina (8 hours): Call it the ultimate friend-cation or family bonding marathon—make sure you use the drive to practice your power ballads before you hit the mic at Ed’s Karaoke.
From Winnipeg (13 hours or a 1-minute visit to every store at WEM): A multi-day drive calls for a Multi-Play pass to make the most of your travels – trust us, once you’re here you’ll want to do it all.
From Kamloops (10 hours or 100 laps of the lake in a Birds of Paradise paddle boat) or Vancouver (12 hours): From mountains to mall magic, a tropical paradise on the prairies is waiting for you at World Waterpark, where it’s always a sunny 30°C. Now that’s a weather report you can count on.
