Saskatchewan Burrowing Owl Interpretive Centre - Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan

This is a cute, very educational way to spend an hour. The burrowing owls are easy to find, yet the buildings they are kept in are large and give them a lot of freedom. The employees are friendly and will walk you through or let you explore on your own, and there is also a huge Irish Wolfhound who is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met. Kids will love her! There is also a gazebo, huge enclosure for a short-eared owl (Shorty), and a small building with exhibits and informational displays.

I love this little place and hope more people are able to stop by and share the word about these endangered creatures.

Had a great time visiting the burrowing owl interpretive centre! Very friendly staff and a very informative set up. Also a cute dog. They're doing really wonderful conservation work and I would definitely go again!

Neat place to visit and see the owls. There is a small education station as well. Great place for family or couple to visit.

The visitor center is a great place to see burrowing owls and they also had a short eared owl last time I visited. Donations keep the place running so drop off a little something for your visit. I believe they feed at 4, so that would be a great time to go as well.

First it's free so be sure to donate when you arrive or leave! These people do such amazing work preserving the endangered burrowing owls. There are about 6 to 8 burrowing owls to see, we didn't take the guided tour because of the kids but I've heard good things about it. Very easy to navigate and we spent about 30 mins there. An overall educational and pleasant experience!

Donation based Owl sanctuary. We were able to get close up to owls in their areas. My kids loved it. A decent learning center also with lots of information about owls. A neat little gift shop also.

What a great place to visit! All the information is laid out in a way that gives you just enough education. There isn't an overload of information! And lots of pictures of the owls! The owls themselves were fun to try and spot and watch them just enjoying their day. If you are patient enough the birds will eventually be a bit more lively. We got to see Cricket give us a few flying demonstrations and he even came and perched right near the fence for a great view.

And the lovely resident gopher S'more was an added bonus, she was super adorable and very friendly for a gopher!
