Family-Friendly Hotels in Regina, SK: Water Parks and Slides
For a family stay in Regina, the deciding question is where the children will swim: four of the 18 family-friendly hotels on this page have waterslides or a full water park, and they sit in three different parts of the city. The Atlas Hotel on Albert Street in the south end runs its own water park, Soaked!, with two intertwining slides, a toddler area and a spray pad. The Delta Hotels by Marriott Regina downtown has an indoor waterslide next to Casino Regina and the Cornwall Centre. Comfort Suites Regina and the Ramada in Emerald Park, just east of the city, complete the list. Across the 18 hotels the average guest score is 7.9 out of 10 from 9,777 reviews, so the gap between the strongest and the weakest is worth reading before you book.
Regina is the capital of Saskatchewan, a flat Prairie city laid out around Wascana Lake and the Legislative Building, home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders and of the RCMP Academy, Depot Division, where every Mountie in Canada trains.
Which Regina hotel suits your children
Regina's family sights are unusually concentrated: the Saskatchewan Science Centre, the Royal Saskatchewan Museum and the paths and playgrounds of Wascana Centre all sit around one lake south of downtown, and the RCMP Heritage Centre is a short drive west. Prairie winters are long and windy, which is why the hotel pool matters here as much as the room.
For toddlers and young swimmers, The Atlas Hotel is the most complete. Its water park, Soaked!, has two intertwining slides, a pool, a hot tub, a toddler area and a spray pad with interactive fountains, all inside the hotel at 4177 Albert Street. Guests score it 8.3 from 782 reviews. The south Albert Street location keeps the south-end malls close, but Wascana Centre and the Science Centre are a drive, not a walk. I would book it for a winter weekend where the pool is the main event. The Atlas also accepts pets, which matters for families travelling with a dog.
Downtown, the Delta Hotels by Marriott Regina is the only hotel on this list with an indoor waterslide within walking distance of the Cornwall Centre mall and Casino Regina, which occupies the old Union Station. That location suits families who would rather walk to shops and restaurants than drive. The trade-off is the score: 7.9 from 243 reviews, below the Atlas and the Fairfield, and a casino next door that sets the tone of the block in the evening. The hotel stands at 1919 Saskatchewan Drive, in the downtown grid where a family can manage most days without a car.
For families who cook, the Ramada by Wyndham Emerald Park/Regina East is the strongest pick. It has the most reviews of the 18, 1,374, with a score of 8.4; rooms include a refrigerator, a microwave and a stovetop, and the indoor pool has two waterslides. Emerald Park is a separate community just east of the city along Highway 1, so every outing to Wascana Centre starts with a drive across Regina. The Residence Inn by Marriott Regina, with kitchenettes and a score of 8.7, is the alternative inside the city. The Days Inn by Wyndham Regina, at 7.8, adds sofa beds to its kitchenettes for larger families.
Two hotels share the top score of 8.7: the Fairfield by Marriott Regina, with an indoor saltwater pool and a hot tub, and the Residence Inn, with kitchenettes, bicycles for guests and a terrace but no pool in its description. Home Inn & Suites Regina Airport follows at 8.5, three kilometres from the terminal, with an indoor pool and select rooms with kitchen facilities. The lowest score of the group belongs to the Four Points by Sheraton Regina, at 7.1, despite its indoor pool. Comfort Suites Regina, the fourth hotel with a waterpark, scores 8.3 from 489 reviews and serves a daily continental breakfast.
Summer changes the calculation. The Saskatchewan Science Centre, in a former power plant in Wascana Park, pairs with the Kramer IMAX, the only IMAX theatre in the province, and the Royal Saskatchewan Museum's CN T.rex Gallery holds a life-size cast of Scotty, the T. rex that became Saskatchewan's official fossil. On a few July evenings the RCMP Academy holds Sunset Ceremonies on Parade Square, open to the public, with a drill display by cadets in red serge and the lowering of the flag. In 2026 they fell on July 1, 7, 14 and 21, so a Canada Day long weekend lines up with the first one.
A traveler's takeWith children under eight, I would book The Atlas for its toddler area and spray pad, and plan the trip around indoor water rather than the weather. With older children who want slides and a kitchen, I would take the Ramada in Emerald Park and accept the drive into town. For a July trip, I would choose the Delta downtown and time the visit for a Sunset Ceremony at the RCMP Academy. I would not pick the Travelodge Suites Eastgate Bay, the Hampton Inn & Suites East Gate or the Holiday Inn Express Regina South for a pool weekend: none of the three lists a pool.
4.4Fairfield by Marriott Regina
Family-Friendly · 278 reviewsFamily-friendly comfort with an indoor pool and pet-friendly options
Why guests love itFairfield by Marriott Regina offers air-conditioned family rooms with private bathrooms, and its indoor saltwater pool and hot tub make winter evenings easier with children. The family-friendly restaurant serves British cuisine with live music, so dinner can stay on site. Pets are accepted, and an ice-skating rink nearby adds a seasonal outing. It is close to Regina International Airport, and the 8.7 score from 278 reviews is reassuring.
4.4Residence Inn by Marriott Regina
Family-Friendly · 92 reviewsSeven-storey suite hotel at Pasqua and Dewdney, about a ten-minute walk from Mosaic Stadium, with breakfast and an indoor pool
Why guests love itResidence Inn Regina is one of the easier family bases in the city. The suites, from studios to one-bedroom layouts, have kitchen facilities, breakfast is included, and the indoor heated pool has a separate children's pool, which matters with toddlers. The hot tub and fitness room are for the parents. On-site parking carries a fee, and pets are accepted with a supplement. For a family that comes for a Roughriders game, the stadium is about a ten-minute walk, so children do not face the post-game traffic in the car. The setting at Pasqua and Dewdney is practical rather than scenic, and downtown is a short drive east. An 8.7 from 92 reviews reflects steady praise for space and breakfast.
4.3Home Inn & Suites Regina Airport
Family-Friendly · 721 reviewsAirport convenience with an indoor pool and hot tub for relaxation
Why guests love itHome Inn & Suites Regina Airport sits just 3 km from Regina International Airport, and its indoor pool and hot tub are a welcome reward for children after a flight. Select rooms add kitchen facilities, all rooms are air-conditioned with a TV and a work desk, and WiFi and parking are free. The Golden Mile Mall is a short drive away for shopping and meals. Guests rate it 8.5 from 721 reviews.
4.2Ramada by Wyndham Emerald Park/Regina East
Family-Friendly · 1374 reviewsFamily-friendly hotel with waterslides, hot tub, and daily hot breakfast
Why guests love itTwo waterslides and an indoor pool with a hot tub make the Ramada by Wyndham Emerald Park/Regina East an easy sell for children. Rooms include a refrigerator, a microwave and a stovetop, some suites have a private hot tub, and a full hot breakfast is included every morning. Parking is free and the front desk is open 24 hours. Guests rate it 8.4 from 1,374 reviews, a reassuring figure for families.
4.2Comfort Suites Regina
Family-Friendly · 489 reviewsFamily-friendly suites with a waterpark, indoor pool, and hot tub
Why guests love itComfort Suites Regina is one of the easier family choices in the city because it has a waterpark alongside the indoor pool and hot tub, which keeps children busy through a prairie winter. Family rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, Wi-Fi is free and a continental buffet breakfast is served daily. Regina International Airport is 8 km away. With an 8.3 score from 489 reviews, I would book it for a weekend built around the waterpark.
4.2The Atlas° Hotel
Family-Friendly · 782 reviewsA 200-room south Regina hotel on Albert Street with its own indoor Soaked! Waterpark and a Celtic pub
Why guests love itTwo waterslides and a spray zone under one roof are what families come for, and in a Prairie winter an indoor water park in the same building as your room changes a trip. Younger children have the interactive fountain and water curtain, older ones the three-storey slide, and parents the hot tub. The DISH restaurant serves all three meals, so no one needs to bundle up for food. Pets are accepted too. The downside is the crowd: weekend birthday parties fill the pool, and the south Albert Street setting means Wascana Centre and the downtown museums are a drive away.
4.1Sandman Hotel & Suites Regina
Family-Friendly · 506 reviewsAn east-end Regina hotel off Highway 1 with kitchenette suites, a pool, a whirlpool and a 24-hour Denny's on site
Why guests love itKitchenette suites with a sofa bed are what make the Sandman work for families: children can sleep on the sofa bed in the same suite, and breakfast can happen upstairs. The indoor pool and whirlpool fill an evening after a day on the road, and the 24-hour Denny's covers awkward meal times with small children. The east-end location is practical for arriving by car and for the shops around Victoria Square, but there is nothing to walk to for a family outing; Wascana Centre, the Royal Saskatchewan Museum and the Science Centre are all a drive across town. I would not choose it without a car.
4.1Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Regina by IHG
Family-Friendly · 227 reviewsComfortable rooms, indoor pool, and family dining in Regina
Why guests love itIn a prairie city where winter lasts a long time, an indoor pool and hot tub make this Holiday Inn an easy family pick. Children can swim after a day at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum or around Wascana Centre, and parents get a warm soak while they watch. The restaurant serves American food and is listed as family-friendly, so dinner needs no car. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, which keeps summer visits comfortable too.
4.0Days Inn by Wyndham Regina Airport West
Family-Friendly · 399 reviewsConvenient airport hotel with a hot tub, sauna, and complimentary breakfast
Why guests love itDays Inn by Wyndham Regina Airport West is a convenient stop for families flying in or out of Regina, with an airport shuttle service available. A free continental breakfast is served daily, which keeps mornings simple, and WiFi is free throughout. There is a hot tub and sauna for parents and a fitness centre. No pool is listed, so children's entertainment will need to come from outings. Guests rate it 7.9/10 from nearly 400 reviews.
4.0Delta Hotels by Marriott Regina
Family-Friendly · 243 reviewsIndoor waterslide, spa, and direct access to Casino Regina
Why guests love itDelta Hotels by Marriott Regina has the feature children ask about first: an indoor waterslide with a pool. Parents get a spa and wellness area, a hot tub and a sauna, and there is a restaurant, a lounge and a 24-hour fitness centre. Pets are accepted. Casino Regina is right next door, so the immediate surroundings are aimed at adults. The 7.9 score from 243 reviews is fair, but the waterslide alone makes it a family favourite.
3.9Days Inn by Wyndham Regina
Family-Friendly · 930 reviewsComfortable stays with an indoor pool, hot tub, and pet-friendly options
Why guests love itDays Inn Regina is an easy, budget-friendly family stop: an indoor pool and a hot tub for evenings, a daily continental breakfast, and kitchenettes and sofa beds that give a family room to spread out. Rooms are air-conditioned with tea and coffee makers. Pets are welcome, which helps on prairie road trips. The 7.8 rating from more than 900 reviews suggests plain but dependable rooms, so expect value rather than style.
3.9Travelodge Suites by Wyndham Regina - Eastgate Bay
Family-Friendly · 883 reviewsFamily-friendly comfort with a fitness centre and spa in Regina
Why guests love itFor families passing through Saskatchewan, this is a no-fuss stop. Family rooms are air-conditioned, welcome on hot prairie summer nights, and come with private bathrooms and free WiFi for screen time after a long drive. The spa and wellness area gives parents a short reset, the outdoor seating area suits a picnic supper, and pets are allowed. It sits away from downtown Regina, so expect to drive to sights.
3.9Comfort Inn Regina East
Family-Friendly · 1262 reviewsHot breakfast, pet-friendly, and close to the airport
Why guests love itComfort Inn Regina East is a family-friendly, pet-friendly hotel that I would recommend to families who want a hot breakfast every day. Free WiFi is available throughout, and rooms have a 32-inch LCD TV and a private bathroom with granite finishes. Select rooms add a fireplace, a refrigerator and a microwave, so ask for one. A business center and an outdoor picnic area are also available.
3.7Motel 6-Regina, SK
Family-Friendly · 791 reviewsFamily-friendly motel with a casino, pet-friendly rooms, and airport proximity
Why guests love itFamily rooms at Motel 6-Regina, SK are air-conditioned and come with a refrigerator, a microwave, a TV and a private bathroom, which covers snacks and simple meals with children. There is a garden for some fresh air, WiFi is free in public areas, and the front desk is open 24 hours. Pets are accepted, and Regina International Airport is 8 km away. Guests rate it 7.4 from 791 reviews.
3.7Hampton Inn & Suites East Gate Regina
Family-Friendly · 172 reviewsFamily-friendly comfort with a fitness centre and pet-friendly amenities
Why guests love itFamily rooms with free WiFi are the main family feature of the Hampton Inn & Suites East Gate in Regina, and pets are accepted if the dog is coming along. The 24-hour front desk and concierge service help with late arrivals and local questions, and an EV charging station is useful on a road trip. There is a fitness centre but no pool mentioned. The 7.4 rating from 172 reviews suggests average rather than standout comfort.
3.7Holiday Inn Express & Suites-Regina-South by IHG
Family-Friendly · 175 reviewsComfortable rooms, a spa, and pet-friendly convenience near Regina International Airport
Why guests love itFamilies will find family rooms, a fitness centre and a spa and wellness area here, along with a lounge and free private parking for the car. Pets are welcome, which helps on a long drive across Saskatchewan. The listing names no pool, so do not promise one to the children. Rooms are air-conditioned with free WiFi. A 7.3 rating from about 175 reviews is the weakest point, so treat this as a practical overnight rather than a highlight of the trip.
3.7Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Regina Downtown
Family-Friendly · 207 reviewsIndoor pool, hot tub, and sauna in downtown Regina
Why guests love itFor families who want to stay in central Regina, the Ramada Plaza's indoor pool, hot tub and sauna are the main attraction, especially during the long prairie winter. Children can swim in the evening while parents warm up in the hot tub. The downtown location keeps restaurants and the city's main streets close, and the University of Regina and the airport are a short drive away. The hotel is pet-friendly, though the 7.3 rating suggests rooms are functional rather than modern.
3.6Four Points by Sheraton Regina
Family-Friendly · 246 reviews127-room hotel on Dewdney Avenue with an indoor pool, about 5 km from Regina Airport and a walk from Mosaic Stadium
Why guests love itFour Points Regina is a practical family stop rather than a destination. Every room has a fridge and a microwave, which covers bottles and snacks, and the indoor pool and hot tub give children somewhere to burn off energy; note that the pool closes at 9 pm. The restaurant and bar on site save a drive after a long day. For a Roughriders game, Mosaic Stadium is about an 18-minute walk, a manageable distance with school-age children. The airport is close, but there is no shuttle, so families flying in need a taxi or a rental car. With a 7.1 from 246 reviews, I would see it as a convenient bed, not a weekend treat.
Local tips
- 1The RCMP Sunset Ceremonies are free and open to the public; enter through the RCMP Heritage Centre on Dewdney Avenue and bring lawn chairs or a blanket, because no seating is provided.
- 2Warn young children before a Sunset Ceremony: the programme can include live field gun and rifle fire on Parade Square, and the gates open half an hour before the 6 pm start.
- 3Pair the Saskatchewan Science Centre with a film at the Kramer IMAX next door, the only IMAX theatre in Saskatchewan, for a full indoor day when the Prairie wind makes Wascana Park unpleasant.
- 4For children under four, The Atlas is the only one of the four slide hotels described with a dedicated toddler area and a spray pad with interactive fountains.
- 5Staying at the Ramada in Emerald Park means crossing the whole city to reach Wascana Centre, so plan museum days as single outings rather than trips back and forth to the pool.
- 6Dinosaur fans should head to the CN T.rex Gallery at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, where a life-size cast of Scotty, Saskatchewan's official fossil, is the centrepiece.
- 7The Science Centre's play area and many of its exhibits are built for children under about twelve, so teenagers usually finish it faster than younger siblings.
