For decades, residents of Moose Jaw have told tales of tunnels beneath their town. In two different interactive tours, you'll travel beneath the streets to learn about Al Capone's bootlegging runs below Moose Jaw and hear the stories of Chinese immigrants who lived and worked in these tunnels. "Fanny," a tour guide in full flapper costume, leads the way as you meet a host of colorful actors and animatronic characters who unearth Moose Jaw's buried history.
