Enjoying Lloydminster...

Beautiful Lloydminster and area lends itself to pleasant self guided tours. We have Museum, Historic, Artistic, and Scenic tours. Other outdoor activities include bird watching, fishing, camping and water recreation at the many nearby lakes.

Lloydminster is proud of its pioneering heritage, which you can experience at the Barr Colony Heritage Cultural Centre (Museum). The Museum houses the Imhoff Gallery, a collection of over 250 pieces of Religious and Historically themed Art; The OTS Heavy Oil Science Centre, an interactive adventure in geology, drilling and refining; and the Fuchs Wildlife Exhibit believed to be North America's largest display of one person's taxidermy.

If your stay involves camping, Weaver Park, along Hwy #16 located next to the Barr Colony Heritage Cultural Centre has all the most modern conveniences. It was recently renovated in 1999/2000.

Visitors can enjoy the outdoors at Bud Miller Park, a 200 acre plus green space featuring the Lloydminster Leisure Centre with swimming pool, waterslide, wave pool, wet and dry saunas and whirl pool, as well as hiking trails, tennis courts, lawn bowling, beach volley ball, baseball diamonds, picnic areas, Arboretum, skateboard park, multi purpose playground and water park, and park interpretive centre.
