A few summers ago I put out a list of 20 things to do in Regina. I thought it was a pretty good list and it got some positive reviews. It came on the heels of a few other similar, smaller lists of places people should visit in Regina and was meant as a “grand finale” of lists.

That article is old, but it’s still fairly popular. Normally I wouldn’t pay much attention to it, but a few months ago somebody commented on it and informed me that my list, and my blog in general, “sucked”. Ouch.

It took me a bit to think about how I should respond to this person, so in rebuttal I have complied my longest list ever, consisting of over 100 things to do in Regina. I spoke to people at Tourism Regina, The Regina Downtown Business Improvement District and the The Warehouse District Business Improvement District to help put this list together.

A lot of the places on this list are my personal favourites, so if there is a place you’d like me to add, please let me know in the comments. (I’d hate for my list to “suck” again!)
