Yorkton is a unique city where beautiful nature, great gambling, shows and history all intertwine. You will be treated to a wealth of fantastic activities, whether you prefer to stay indoors or venture outside.
There are four provincial parks all within a short drive of Yorkton. Each offers you a chance to enjoy the natural beauty that flourishes here. It seems whatever time of year you visit you will find something to do. Wintertime brings out snowmobilers from around the country aching to master the kilometers of trails. Spring showcases the flora that thrives here and summer is the best time to go fishing, boating and swimming at the many lakes. Of course fall brings out the beautiful colors of the changing leaves. Yorkton also has its fair share of great golf courses and wetlands that are ideal for bird watching. Those interested in learning about Canada’s immigrants can visit the impressive Western Development Museum.

The Yorkton Threshermen's Club hosts an annual festival where you can see people prove they could have survived back in the good ol’ days as pioneers. The very best place to enjoy some of the finest entertainment Yorkton has to offer though is at the Gallagher Centre and Exhibition Grounds. Whether you catch a show in the arena, at the convention centre or outside where the grandstand is located, you will not be disappointed. Concerts, races and the circus are only a few of the great events you can enjoy here. The Painted Hand Casino is a huge Yorkton attraction. There are over 18,000 square feet of gaming floor for you to try out your luck at. Whether you prefer the slots or Blackjack, the great food or quality entertainment, the Painted Hand is a great place to enjoy an evening... or two.
