It's an eye-opening experience. I learned so much in just a short amount of time. My partner had been reluctant to come with me ("it sounds boring"), but even he was intrigued and wanted to stay longer once we were there. The booths and exhibits have a lot of variety, as well as really important information about history you might've never heard before. Aside from that, the museum has a really unique design and layout, making it a really memorable, unforgettable experience.

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is the coolest wedding venue ever! As a wedding photographer, I've shot at some amazing places, but nothing compares to the stunning architecture and breathtaking views at this museum. The natural light pours into the space, making every shot look absolutely magical. And the staff are like wedding ninjas, making sure every detail is perfect and every guest is happy. They truly go above and beyond to ensure everyone has an amazing time. But what really sets the Canadian Museum for Human Rights apart is the feeling you get when you're there. It's hard to describe, but every bride and groom I've worked with have said the same thing - they feel like they're getting married in the coolest place ever. Maybe it's the modern design or the unique exhibits, but there's just something about this museum that makes it feel special. If you want a wedding venue that's not only beautiful but also unforgettable, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights is the perfect choice.

It's one of the most attractive and prominent landmarks of Winnipeg which is probably to a great extent the face of Winnipeg. The architecture of this place is mind blowing. Myself personally a great admirer of architecture this was a perfect architectural gem which i couldn't have missed. You can book the tickets in advance to visit the museum, the museum is divided into several floors each having a separate section . You can spend hours and hours inside the museum but you would still feel you didn't have the most of it. The show stopper is on the 8th floor the tower where you can see the panoramic view of the city. I wish I could see the sunset from the tower but unfortunately the sunset is Winnipeg summers is too late. I would highly recommend visiting this place. All lovers of architecture and history should visit and i am sure you'll be enlightened after returning back

I like to go to the museum. And we got some different types of museums in Winnipeg, Human Rights is the one I’m surprised about it. I couldn’t finished to read and see what they have in a day!! They have so many good things, history and something to learn and think in the museum! Knowledge is power, human rights will be a step to another higher level/place for us. We don’t talk about color, country, age… we care about what is human rights and how to do to make this world better. Learn from our history and do the right things. No matter who you are !!

Great in so many elements. The message and purpose of educating people on human rights issues is very well done. The layout and quality of the exhibits enhances the learning experience with clear visual and auditory presentations. The building architecture is beyond describing as it is so unique and beautiful. The friendly staff were icing on the cake. Well done.

Powerful and modern museum. A good place to go, learn, and reflect. I'd say save aside 5+ hours to go through the museum. 2 exhibits were being changed over and I still was there for quite a while. Many of the exhibits are interactive and can be listened to outloud or with headphones (blue tooth or jack). Also there are many exhibits that are built with accessibility in mind (as well as ramps/elevators and washrooms on each floor) so I'd check out all those features online before going.

I have traveled to 63 countries and 9 provinces in Canada. I only had two days in Manitoba, and I visited this museum both days. The Human Rights Museum is the best museum we have in the country. It is super close to Esplanade Riel and The Forks Market, and just a kilometre away from the Art Gallery and Legislative Building. So the location is perfect too. I spent a total of five hours at this museum total. It costs $18 per ticket. So if you have to come here a second day, you'll pay $36. Definitely take your time here. Don't rush it. There isn't much else to do in Winnipeg, anyway. Note: It is closed on Mondays. I spent one extra day in Regina because of that and waited until Tuesday to travel to my next province on my cross Canada trip.

So much to see and learn. We did not read it all in 1 visit so we came back a second time. Our teens enjoyed it here. The architect is amazing and the view is incredible. You have a choice of taking the elevator or walking. You will get in a good workout walking it all. The staff was very polite, helpful and friendly.

At the time, Covid restrictions were ramping up but the staff were extremely helpful and attentive to ensure all measures were followed. Beautiful displays! The interior of the building was quite surprising considering such a bold exterior design. Definitely would recommend a visit.

It's an intriguing space, but the walk is tricky. I feel like there is both too much info and not enough at the same time. I just think it feels disjointed as an exhibit, with no sense of cohesion in the narrative. If that was the goal, then it's spot on. I did like the Holodomor exhibit and the Ukrainian tribute. It's appreciated.

We love working with the event staff at the Canadian. Museum for Human Rights! The venue is amazing to hold events at and the staff incredible to work with. Super friendly and organized!! They make it easy for us to set-up our photo booths at the various events we are rented for!!

Be prepared to do alot of walking. Very interesting museum. Lots of history. Exhibitions get smaller the higher you go up. Tower has pretty views. Indigenous people get in for free, which is pretty cool.

Worth visiting - we spent four hours learning our way through the seven floors of this unique and important museum. It leads one through darkness of man’s inhumanity to man and through the healing alabaster ramps, towards thought, hope, and light in the tower. Many displays, interactive stations, videos and art work share information. Guides are helpful - we especially appreciated Sarah 😀 Unfortunately we didn’t know there were not guided tours after summer hours although we intercepted many - so book one in advance - we didn’t know that. Also the cloud coffee shop is disappointing in that gluten free items listed were no longer an option and prices were high. Perhaps practice what is being presented and source local groups to run the shop and source local bakers, producers to rotate through.

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is an exceptional institution that offers a powerful and thought-provoking experience. The architecture is stunning, and the exhibits are well-curated, shedding light on various aspects of human rights issues. It provides a meaningful and educational journey, encouraging visitors to reflect on the importance of human rights in our world. A must-visit for anyone interested in this crucial topic.

A journey from darkness to light. This museum is incredible! You really need to have an eye for the interior and the design to truly appreciate the architecture that lies in and out of the building. From the alabaster ramps, to basalt rocks , to huge glass windows, the architecture is a timeless masterpiece! When you enter inside it's pretty dim and as you go up in each floor - it gets lighter and lighter, until you reach the tower of hope. Which lies at the very top of the building that overlooks the city and downtown Wpg. It's a wrap around that gives you panoramic 360 view of the forks. The exhibits within the museum are amazing with the story and history behind it - although you need to have an appreciation for history and the willingness to learn in order to truly understand each exhibit. It's very rich in history and so captivating. As you go throughout the museum you'd find a few things in each exhibits that allows you to interact with it. I should mention that there is a lot of walking since this place is MASSIVE. This museum is for everyone - though the target audience is intended for older folks and young children might be bored since the exhibits contains a lot of information that's intended for an older audience. This museum is mainly focused on HUMAN RIGHTS - especially coming from a Canadian point of view. It has 8 floors which are all wheelchair accessible & the atmosphere of the museum has a calming aura. This museum is powerful, modern, a place to go learn and reflect.

On my 2nd visit to Winnipeg, I made a point to revisit this museum. It was very moving, a bit depressing, but hopeful. The staff made me feel welcomed at every turn.

What a beautiful and amazing experience. The education is off the charts. Gorgeous building. Amazing and friendly staff

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights was a powerful and well laid out exhibit. Each room had a dedicated person to help navigate and provide additional information. The information on the main displays was plain (in a good way) so it would be accessible to people from different age ranges and backgrounds. It also had several languages available to choose from. More in-depth information could be found on terminals all through the museum. The building itself was a beautiful universal design. My husband and I walked the whole thing bottom to top, even reaching the top of the tower. It was a lot bigger than we expected so budget at least a few hours if you’re someone like me who reads everything.

Great museum to spend a few hours and learn about the history of human rights and their violations around the world. Great videos and exhibits. Not busy so you can thoroughly enjoy and read the information in the exhibits. Has elevator access to the top of the tower which has a nice of the city.

Words are inadequate for the rush of emotion you experience while visiting. A word of advice: patience. Take your time at each exhibit because all are worthy of being seen to their fullest. Well planned exhibits, beautiful architecture and outside should be visited as well.

Absolutely stunning museum. The amount of history and didactic material makes the experience unique. The exhibits are quite well maintained, everything looks modern and it really enjoyed my experience there. It sets the proper atmosphere to reflect and learn from the errors of the past.

Amazing experience. The architecture is phenomenal and the building is designed in such a way to be all part of the experience of what you are seeing and learning about human rights and the architecture helps in experiencing and feeling emotions relative to human rights. The exhibits are so informative, thought provoking, and some are extremely hard to swallow. The museum is so thought provoking. Everyone should have to experience this museum. The overall experience is so moving and emotional. Be prepared to grapple with the human experience. Again, such an awe inspiring and hopeful experience especially ending in the Israeli tower of hope. Again, everyone should experience this museum.

One of the best museums I have been into. Displays are interactive and poignant. As a member of Amnesty International this visit was very meaningful to me. The view is also excellent on the top floor as you can see the entirety of Winnipeg.

A good place to visit and stroll around. But if you plan to do an in-depth viewing, would take an entire day to go through all the information and floors. The view at the observation tower was amazing.

This is an outstanding museum, in terms of its architecture, exhibits, and people, and yet I find it overlooked beyond Winnipeg. It makes Winnipeg a must-visit city! It’s hard not to be awed by the museum’s architecture, both from afar and close-up. I didn’t see photos of the museum’s interior before my visit and I was so amazed by the criss-crossing, gently ascending and illuminated stair design and how that is woven into the museum visiting experience as you are taken from one exhibit to the next. And when I got to the atrium, my jaws just dropped. Overall, the museum is a great place for architecture photography! As an architecture enthusiast, I feel that if the same building is placed in cities such as New York, Barcelona or Singapore, it would have received a lot more well-deserved fanfare. However, I am glad it is situated in Winnipeg as it is a marvelous centrepiece of the city. The museum’s stunning architecture brings attention to its excellent and rich exhibits. There are several galleries, each with a different theme. I really liked the permanent exhibit that reflects on the experiences and discrimination felt by different groups of people in Canada. I felt that it should be an ever-growing exhibition as our values and the meaning of human rights continue to develop. The Holocaust exhibit is also impressive and sombre, and extremely timely. There are also a lot of interactive and multimedia elements to make the visit more engaging. For example, I really liked the area on the upper levels where visitors are invited to write and post notes on what human rights mean to them. Note that the exhibits are very dense and I felt that I only scratched the surface by viewing and reading, so I might try joining a guided tour during my next visit to learn more. A visit to the museum would be incomplete without checking out the observation area in the spiral, which is accessible by stairs and elevator. It has great views of the Forks, St Boniface and other parts of Winnipeg, so make sure you budget time for that. I also love how the museum has plenty of seating spaces, especially the reflection area and the cafe. If I were living in Winnipeg, I would purchase a membership in a heartbeat and visit these areas in the museum for quiet reading or studying. Last but not least, the museum staff I’ve encountered and spoken with were all really friendly, just like most other people I’ve met in Manitoba. The human aspect makes the visit stand out just that bit more.

The building itself is a feat of artistry and engineering. The exhibits were fascinating, somber, and educational. A beautiful ode to human rights won, human rights fought for, and the rights we still are fighting for. A must visit for anyone and everyone.

A brilliant interactive museum focused on human rights, especially from the Canadian experience or history. It's a 8 floor museum with all floors accessible to persons of disabilities. It's rich in information and so captivating. Hint, plan to spend 4 hours when planning a visit.

Only museum about the importance of human rights, describing all the incidents of the past which happened in Canada and around the world. It’s free on Sundays and the coat check is free. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

Incredibly moving experience. The setup of the stories, the vignettes, and the interactive nature of the exhibits made for a great experience. The architecture and natural materials used throughout the spaces were calming and absolutely gorgeous. Worth the time and resulted in good dialogue with my family after our visit. Highly recommend lunch at the bistro as well.

I really enjoyed the view to the Prairie Dogs land, their sounds made this place peaceful even though is not, interesting art and sculptures. I heard that this place is one of the favorites for people who lives on Winnipeg. The Forks also have variety of food and a nice outdoor seating area.

Absolutely beautiful place to enjoy the summers. The calmness of the Red river with the greeneries around is a cherry on cake. It's pretty close to the Forks Market and you can enjoy walking along the banks of the river or bir along the banks of the river. It's popularly called the heart of Winnipeg Downtown and it literally lives up to its popularity.

The place to visit in downtown Winnipeg, this location beautifully located along the two rivers that meet in the area offers a little bit of everything. There is history, scenery, art, recreation, shopping, food, museums, and other points of interest. The entire area is quiet accessible and is very walkable. Great views of the river and the downtown skyline. Good food offerings. Close walk to the bridge across the river for more sightseeing.

Hands down, the Forks is the best place to visit in Winnipeg! Very romantic park setting and scenic along the Red River. In the summer, we took the guided boat tour which is inexpensive and about 90 minutes long. You'll see numerous musical shows on weekends. Temperatures that summer in July were about 82 degrees Fahrenheit. In the winter in November and March when it was 14 degrees (which is considered balmy here), the area which usually has events becomes an ice-skating rink and there's a small makeshift hockey rink across from it. The Forks Market was a pleasant surprise. Every lunch and dinner location we tried was delicious and fairly priced. The BEST croissants I've ever tasted are at the Tall Grass Prairie Bakery. Don't let the long line scare you as you'll be served within minutes. In my most recent stay, I was at the Inn at the Forks. It's very pricey, but worth it to get a great scenic view in the morning and is in the heart of the park. It's only a 15-20 minute walk to downtown Winnipeg. On a negative note, on my last night in 2020, I took some souvenir photos at midnight along the scenic river and was followed all the way back to the hotel by a meth addict who thought I was taking photos of him and yelling at me. I had to kick the guy out of the hotel as no one from the front desk wanted to get involved or call police. Sadly, there were some high profile events in 2022 of folks being beaten, stabbed and robbed in the Forks...and this occurred in daylight. I hope they will add cameras in the park that were lacking when I was last there. Because of the growing drug and crime issue in the area, I was going to give it a 4 star review instead of a 5. Hopefully, law enforcement will beef up their presence here because it really is a BEAUTIFUL place to be, regarding of the season. I hope the Forks will give you the same enjoyment and positive memories that it gave me and will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart!

Fascinating piece of Winnipeg history. The boat ride was excellent explaining how a rivertown changed after the railway came to town.

The Forks National Historic Site is located at very prominent location in the middle of Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. This place is close to Downtown and St Boniface Neighbourhood. There are lots of activities to do like boating, skating, photography, eating, drinking, cycling, walking and many more fun activities with family and friends. Lots of parking space available. Well maintained and decorated areas to view and enjoy.

This park is a great family visit during the warm months, perfectly justifying a quick jaunt to Winnipeg. During the cold months there is a skating rink, and still quite a lot to do. Note the beautiful views of the Red River and Assiniboine Rivers joining. You'll easily find quick access to museums, restaurants, gift stores, attractions, and transports deeper into historical Winnipeg.

Beautiful during any season. There are so many fun activities. I absolutely love this place and it is a must see.

Good place to bring a non-Manitoban visitor - decent varities of restaurants inside the market, may have concerts/events, playground for kids, museums around, a historical site, some spa and gift shops, hotel/s around, and you can also go for a tour on a boat!

Regardless what you like to do, just go there and enjoy. Museum, zoo, hiking, biking, family gathering, probably barbecuing, cricketing, soccer, kids toy land, restaurants, some festivals, and so and so ... they all are opportunities you may experience it in the park to have fun. What I like more over there, is photographing. Stunning landscape beside the river, including different types of animals, during summer and winter time, make it fascinating! Have a fun!

Amazing place to visit. Something to do for everyone. Very close to the Trans-Canada Highway so you can make quick stop to stretch legs and enjoy the beautiful park. Loved the different areas with very well maintained park infrastructure. I would definitely recommend visiting different attractions in the park.

The pavilion has an art museum inside on 2nd and 3rd floors. Please do visit inside and feel free to donate as the gallery is free. The visitor desk person was so friendly and helpful.

We checked out the new Diversity Gardens at the Park today. It was a beautiful fall day and the gardens still looked very nice. There were lots of people out enjoying the day, but it didn't feel crowded at all. There are several walking and bike paths, and plenty of benches and seating if you need a rest. Very enjoyable!

Beautiful, expansive park with lots of different places to go: Leo Mol Sculpture Park, Gardens at The Leaf, English Gardens, Nature Playground, and the Pavilion. And it's all free!! Great for all ages (nature playground especially for kids).

It’s a really nice place to enjoy. You can rent cycles and roam around, chill near the red river, enjoy Sargent sundae ice cream, visit the museum that’s near by. It’s an amazing place to have camps and enjoy with family and friends.

Assiniboine Park is the place to be! The park has a lot of green space. Perfect for picnics, walking, and playing sports in the summer. It also has a great ice rink and a hill for tobogganing in winter. Great for families and anyone who wants to enjoy their time outdoors. With the addition of the new Garden and The Leaf, Assiniboine Park has now been my all time favorite place to pass time and to catch up with friends.

A great place to spend time with family and friends. If you're wondering where to throw a picture perfect picnic straight outta Pinterest, Assiniboine Park is the place to go. Also a great place for an early morning run or a bike ride.

Within the city boundary of Winnipeg Assiniboine park is best park anyone can visit. From bicycle path to several in spot cafeteria to several divided theme Small park's, animal zoo, cricket practicing net. It has almost everything anyone can expect from a park to be. It's a great place for small family BBQ party or small get-together.

Went to the leaf, and walk around a bit. Also had a great diner in the leaf. It is great the evolution of the park since I used to live near here as a kid. Saw some great flowers at leaf and insects shaped from plants. Planing a bile trip here soon.

Vast and spacious, lots of green. Clean, you can scarcely spot any garbage on the grass. I like their cafe and the barbecue zone, also the adult bar zone, where you can have a shot or two and grab a bite.

On Thanksgiving we visited Assiniboine Park's Duck Pond, English Garden, Leo Mol sculptures and the Pavilion's two floors of art galleries. Great time as always because there were lots of clean well maintained paths, easily found a parking spot and was budget-friendly. It's easy to spend hours watching people, birds, cyclists or looking at all the beautiful flowers, sculptures and artwork(pavilion).

A park which you can very enjoy in the cold weather. It's a pleasure to have a little walk in the park. If you can see the train, it's like the last century's horn blow in your ear.

This park has so many attractions. The steam train is great for kids. The English garden is so beautiful in the summer… great for an outdoor run on a nice day. The sargent sundae is right across from the park…how convenient for ice cream lovers. Go inside the pavilion and explore the galleries. Highly recommended!

This park is undoubtedly the crown jewel of our city. It's a fantastic oasis filled with picturesque spots and photo-worthy locations. Whether you're planning a picnic or simply seeking a nature escape, this place has it all. My wholehearted recommendation goes out to this remarkable park.

This is a large park with the zoo, an arboretum, lots of open areas for picnics and games. But best of all is the English garden. Beautifully maintained, docents walking about to answer questions, good plant labeling, stunning plantings.

Been rollerblading at this park since 1993. Decided to return and hoped to see some favorite places and the new additions. Sadly, most paths are in desperate need of being repaved. My wheels were constantly getting stuck, the paths are still made using the old rock path that vibrates my wheels. My feet were numb by the end of my two hour trip. This is also not great for push scooters. So young kids will find it difficult, especially when they have to pass over the tar filled lines. The park has made some great upgrades but their paths are totally lacking and they need to be upgraded as not everyone uses bikes on the walking paths. Would love to see some funds used to upgrade the paths. Some paths even have full on weeds growing between the cracks on the cement paths. I'm thankful that I am quite solid on my blades and did not fall, but I can see some adults and kids taking a tumble. Love that the paths have remained open, but they are in desperate need of an upgrade. Love the extra kid zones, old Beach volleyball courts, BBQ spots, new additions and the Pavillion where I saw a wedding taking place on a Friday afternoon.

Glad to have visited this zoo where we saw a variety of animals in particular those from boreal and arctic habitats. Staff are nice and knowledgeable. We visited in the winter spring time and the outdoor pathways have horrible drain system not keeping paths puddle free. Will visit again but not in this season.

Went with my cousins to the park on a Friday. It has been awhile since we went here. Lots of kids due to a field trip so it was pretty busy. It was a really hot day and almost all of the animals in the zoo are hiding so we didn’t see much of them. Although, we got lucky enough to see the polar bears outside playing and wrestling around. It was still a good visit over all. We enjoyed the day there!!

Our family had a very nice trip to the zoo. Lots of walking, my feet are pulsing, but worth it! Would recommend to go on a mild, overcast or even rainy day as, if too hot, the animals will hide and you won't see much. I thought it was well-laid out and taken care of, neat and tidy. Appreciated all the boards with little timbit facts, cool! The volunteers/workers we came into contact with were friendly and knowledgeable. Highlights were the polar bears/seals, gibbon and tiger exhibit and the dinosaurs - best mini donuts ever close by! ⭐

We went here on a Wednesday afternoon and we pretty much owned the entire zoo. There was only a handful of people so it was pretty chill and quiet tour. At first I thought the $20 per pax entrance fee was steep but when I saw the polar bears, I was like… it’s all worth it. I was soooo happy that I got to see them playing in the pool. They were sooo adorable. We’ve got to see gibbons and snow owl too! Definitely worth a visit! What did the buffalo say to his son when he left for college? Bison.

Absolutely love the zoo! The emphasis is on Canadian animals which is great because it means most of them can actually enjoy the winters here. Highly recommend going in the winter for the best experience, less crowds, and the animals are way more active!

This is a great zoo! The polar bear and seal underwater walkway is amazing!!! Lots of other animals to see also. Easily walked in 2-4 hours depending on how much time you spend reading the displays. Super fun dinosaur area with animatronic creatures! Easy (and free) parking. We had a very enjoyable time.

This was one of the most beautiful amazing trip we have had. We are thrilled to see lots of interesting animals for the first time. I highly recommend you to bring your whole family and enjoy the adventure together at Assiniboine Park & Zoo. There are also plenty of activities you can explore inside the park.

First time to be here. Unfortunately, there are some animals not available, but it is still a good place to explore and unwind. Good for all ages. Just be patient, for it is a long way for walking. There are also snack shops and picnic areas available. All in all, it is a great experience! 🙌🏼

We were excited to see the polar bear swimming there. Coz we went to Winnipeg for competition, we visited the zoo before flying back. The staff was so amazing. Even though they don’t have luggage service, they also helped us stored our stuff in the office.

Great zoo, but lots of puddles and geese. Many animals are inside or huddled when it's cold out but got to see a few. Good day to see the fossils and robo dinosaurs without crowds.

Great zoo with plenty of interesting and exciting animal enclosures! Though it’s been a few years since I visited (around 3 years), I remember it being a well put together experience, with animals I haven’t seen before. I went during Winter and there were many snowy animals on display outside, from arctic foxes to wolves and other wildlife. The indoor displays were equally impressive, with a nice stingray pool which you can approach and do some petting as well! A really nice polar bear exhibit as well. The gift/souvenir shop is quite cool as well with a ton of things to buy. Good pricing for zoo admission from what I remember. There are also zoo lights around winter time as well! Highly recommend this zoo if you’re in the Winnipeg area!

Easy to purchase tickets online and save a few dollars (and skip the cue on a busier day.) Friendly staff and volunteers were all around the park which was lovely. Lots of signage to reorient yourself amidst the enclosures. I went on a very hot day so some.ofnthe animals (Amur Tigers) were a bit shy (hiding to keep cool I imagine.) And I only saw one wolf and one polar bear, which was a bit disappointing, I was hoping to see several knowing how many live at the zoo. That being said, it was a lovely walkabout, with plenty of educational displays surrounding the enclosures. In terms of amenities, it's fairly no-frills. No lockers are available for guests BUT you're welcome to pack your own food and water. There were lots of families with wagons who clearly had the right idea. It could definitely be a lot of walking for young ones or those with mobility challenges, and can certainly be a very hot and sunny day if the weather calls for it. Dress accordingly! Picnic areas were mostly shaded but the rest of the route was full sun so be prepared.

If the polar bears are swimming, you're in for a real treat! Some of the zoo is sure showing its age - but it's still a great way to spend the day! We bought a membership, and definitely recommend going on a weekday or a Sunday as long as it's not a holiday - Mother's/Father's Day were bonkers busy!

Our visit this summer was good, kids had fun and enjoyed different areas of the zoo. They liked the Polar Bear indoor structure. We had trouble finding it since there are no clear signs for it, even though it was in the map. It is located inside the building where the Tundra Grill Restaurant is. There are water refillable stations that spread throughout the zoo. The tram was nice too. The dinosaur exhibit is always a hit. The wildlife rescue was interesting, they had the turtle which the kids found amusing. The polar bears were visible and some wild cats. The seals are always fun to watch. One observation was areas that looks like it should have water for the animals seemed to be dry. Perhaps it is meant to be that way. It might look better if it had water especially when it is very hot and sunny ☀️. The other areas of improvement are the prices of the stuffies for the gift shop. It would sell more if it is reasonable but it is pricey. The visit was indeed a good experience.

A Must-Visit in Winnipeg! I had the pleasure of visiting the zoo in Winnipeg about a month before Halloween and was pleasantly surprised to see the beautiful Halloween decorations adorning the place. The festive atmosphere only added to the overall experience. The highlight for me was the polar bears. I’ve always been fond of them, and seeing so many in one place was truly a treat. But it wasn’t just about the polar bears; the zoo offers a diverse range of animals which captivated my attention throughout my visit.

What a great way to enjoy a nice October day in Winnipeg. Several areas were unavailable due to the 'BOO AT THE ZOO' event that started this weekend and runs til Halloween. (But that fantastic event is worth it) Fantastic enclosure improvements since I was last here. Particularly liked the seals and polar bear areas. The most active other animals by far were the Amur tigers and the monkeys. We also enjoyed an active look at the wolves and arctic fox.

Went for the Zoo Lights and it was a pretty good time. Lots of cool displays, and got to see the odd animal out and about. Decent price for about an hour’s worth of something to do. I recommend going to it next winter time.

Very nice and clean .. most of the animals were sleep 😴 but we enjoyed it ..there is several species from the wild life .. the fees are a bit high regarding that we didn't see much but we saw some good stuff 👍 thanks

Super!!! A very beautiful place. Lots of animals and nice atmosphere. It is better to choose a not very hot day to visit the zoo, then most of the animals will not be hiding from the sun and you can enjoy it. On site you can eat ice cream and have a snack in the cafe. There is also a souvenir shop. Great place for the whole family.

This was such a nice festive experience! Definitely go if you are a new parent. Walking at night in between all the lights, surrounded by other friendly families amounted to a peaceful, exciting and safe evening. Our toddlers were into it. There were several fire pits available to sit by, the Tundra grill was open as well as various refreshment stands. People were playing glowing games available throughout the zoo, trying out glowing hula hoops, and getting lost in a small maze.

The tigress and the underwater tunnel in the seal world are quite a highlight in my view. One star less because some of the viewing glass windows could use a good cleaning to allow a clear view of the animals inside.

This happens to be my first, personal zoo visit. It was an indepth experience where each animals detail was place just by the enclosure. I enjoyed the performance from the Seals and Tiger. The zoo has electric scotters for persons with disabilities and a detailed and readable map at all areas. The most exciting part for me was seeing all the animals healthy and lively

Is a good Zoo with many selection of animals from some different part of the world. We had a nice time and walk around the zoo. Not too big but its quite nice place. We had to see the Polar Beer which has an outdoor area. The Sally Farm and The Seal are amazing as well as the Dinosaur Park. Maybe could add some more activities area and more selection of restaurant.

The museum was amazing. The way it has been organized to show the advancement and evolution from the beginning till now, is exceptional. Visiting this museum doesn't just amaze the kids, it's thrilling to the adults as well, or exciting and engaging to all. Special mention to the voyage experience! The reason why I have 4/5 stars is for the lack of excitement factor in the space and science sections. After visiting the main museum you built in so much expectations towards the other two sections, but I m sure they will disappoint you. So spend the most time in the main museum section, I would say. Also at the reception, only the show timings of the planetarium was mentioned and not the shows in specific, this was misleading as we ended up watching a lesson on constellations instead of the movie on northern lights. Also, it's better for students to get their in-person tickets as they have a student offer which was not seen in the website.

Definitely a must-visit place if you’re visiting Winnipeg or just haven’t been in a while. It’s got so much to see and learn about. I was excited to see some old displays going strong, as well as the new additions and renovations. I loved exploring the dinosaur area. The museum looks great! You can spend a couple of hours here, or a full day if you wanted to. There’s a planetarium as well which has shows to check out.

This was a great place to go. It's filled with a ton of cool things to look at and they even added on new things from when I was last there. They even have a pirate boat that you can go into a look around . I truly loved it.

Very interesting and informative. My Grade 3 students absolutely enjoyed every detailed display. Their favorite parts were the dinosaurs and the Nonsuch. I, myself, would love to go back and finish seeing what I walked by too quickly. Definitely worth the trip.

My kids never get tired of going here. We try to go at least once a year, usually on the free Friday nights (so thankful they do this). The ship is incredible and the entire town. My kids love the dinosaur section and the 1920s Winnipeg town. Wow. Those are the favourites we always must visit but we love it all. They also live the children's museum but that is a little rundown. Sometimes we go to the planetarium but the kids have often found these shows less than exciting. Some are good, others a little slow. I wish they had more outer space stuff.

One of the most amazing museums I've been to. I'm new to Canada and drive myself reading every placard about everything being exhibited. I can't believe they built part of the the museum around a full-size, sailing replica of a trading ship. If I have one complaint is that the museum is not laid out all that well (i.e. navigating through all the exhibit halls is difficult). A few areas have arrows to guide you. The entire museum needs those arrows and possibly better signage. But one trip and I learned more about Winnipeg/Manitoba/Canada and its history than I've learned the previous 62 years of my life. Awesome!

It’s absolutely amazing, and a nice place to spend the day with family. Lots of exhibits, from the dinosaurs display to the First Nation People Gallery, from learning about the ancient to modern history. The museum is large with pretty nice interiors and well-displayed artifacts. The staff also polite and helpful. One thing I would suggest is that they should increase the closing time.

Just an overall great visit. From the helpful hostess as you enter giving you the run down on all the museum and aspects of the building entails; as there are 3 different attractions in one here plus the theater presentations, to the clerks who help you choose the appropriate package to purchase for your visit - it was well worth going. My son is 15, so finding something not related to a movie or gaming for the 2 of us to do together is a bit tricky. But this was a great venture for him and I to do together. The Ship Replica is AWESOME!!

Absolutely amazing! Had a wonderful time. Definitely one of the good museums with lots of interactivity. Great experience, enjoyed the visit so much. We spent almost 3 hours and didn't go to the planetarium. This museum is a MUST if you're visiting Winnipeg 10/10

Amazing. Looking forward to going back for the planetarium! Kid loved the science play area. I loved the ship!!!!

Definitely one of the good ones, clean and well maintained. It’s an entire day event, they have some really nice exhibits. The planetarium is definitely a must visit. They have paid parking right beside the building.

A beautiful illustration of the Manitoba metamorphosis from prehistoric times, through fur trade to modern times. All floors are #wheelchair accessible and detailed with appropriate information. I thought 2hrs was gonna be enough until the museum closed on me. Will make plans to revisit. And a point to note, all museums have paid parking. I missed this and had to pay $89

My friend and I had a wonderful time. The displays are informative, awe inspiring and well presented. We love the section on dinosaurs. However, the Planetarium's area and its seats are dated and there’s a funny smell inside. I hope they will remodel soon.

The museum is an austere brutalist building, which might not look very welcoming from the outside, but it is in fact a treasure trove with two particular, stunning galleries that are a must-visit in Winnipeg! I spent about 2 hours in the museum and only went through about two-thirds of the exhibits. Granted, not all of the exhibits are of the same quality. Some of the natural history and ecological exhibits have areas that don’t seem to have been updated in decades, with font styles that echo back to the 1980s, although I actually quite enjoyed seeing it (like travelling back in time) and everything was still exceptionally clean and well-maintained. There are a lot of dioramas, including full-scale landscape recreations, in the museum, which I absolutely loved. The two must-visit galleries, however, are the Nonsuch Gallery and the Winnipeg Gallery. The Nonsuch Gallery’s centrepiece is a full-size replica of the ship that launched the Hudson’s Bay Company, which you can get on to explore, including descending to the lower deck, which was just fascinating. It also has great sound and light effects. Having been to Hudson’s Bay so many times, it was great to learn about this integral piece of its history that I had never heard of until then. I want to give a shout out to the staff member on duty at the time of my visit – she was highly enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the exhibit, and gave me the amazing recommendation of visiting the 1920s Winnipeg cityscape exhibit, which I might have skipped otherwise because I was running out of time at that point. That brings me to the Winnipeg Gallery with its fantastic 1920s cityscape recreation, which is another must-visit. The exhibit is just big enough for you to be immersed in the surroundings, and it has so many details to explore and some buildings that you can go into. You would really appreciate the amount of thought that has gone into creating this exhibit. It’s the perfect exhibit for the architecture/history/I Spy fan. The museum also houses a Science Gallery and a Planetarium, which I didn’t visit. However, the Nonsuch and the Winnipeg Galleries alone make the Manitoba Museum a must-visit for anyone in Winnipeg and I think the museum really deserves more recognition!

A wonderful three-in-one experience including natural/human history, a planetarium, and a hands-on science center for kids. Fascinating exhibits in an engaging environment. My daughter enjoyed it all. Highly recommended for adults and children alike.

This is a great place to spend an afternoon with family, friends, or by yourself. Lots of well designed exhibits are strategically placed to lead you through history to the modern day. From the first display of the life-sized bison being hunted leaving a memorable scene in the viewer's mind, to ancient oceans, dinosaurs, the ice age, changing landscapes, and the impact of emigration, visitors will be immersed in beautiful education. Don't forget to check out the replica Nonsuch boat, which you can board and take in its atmosphere amidst a small pier style town with buildings you can go inside. Then, go downstairs and have some hands-on fun in the science gallery. There you can learn about the praiwatwrshed, how tornadoes are formed, build with lego, create and race electric cars. Lift yourself with a pull system or manipulate the northern lights with your hands. This is educational fun for all ages. Also, to cap off an afternoon of fun or simply on its own, check out the planetarium and learn about the night sky and the mysteries of constellations.

Super fun and educational place! Lots for children to discover and learn. Don’t forget to check out their science hall downstairs- it’s so amazing for kids! Laser Harp, infinity room, lift-yourself chair, acoustic tricks, river flow water table, just to name a few. Better check it out yourself - it’s absolutely worth the time and money. Oh yeah, and Nonsuch! 1650 ship replica inside the museum that you can actually get on, and see it all!

Beautiful spot to stop by. Of course based on days...you may get the random protests and such as well here. Architecturally, it is worth some time to just observe.

Legislative grounds privides a good place to walk during those chilly autumn days. Plus The Forks is only 10-15 minutes away, great scenic views along the river path.

Gorgeous revivalist baroque architecture, beautiful to walk around here. Absolutely magnificent. Other than the random protests they keep it nice and clean, I remember going in here for a field trip, there are amazing paintings and stonework.

Great inside and out! Wonderful walking grounds and place to visit! Parking can be difficult as it is downtown and paid but you should be able to find some on the side roads.

Nice place to walk around. Park your car and take a river walk to the forks. About 40 minutes of a round trip. Nice and gentle river breez.

Nice place to spend the day in good company.

I took this tour on Monday at 4:00. This was a really great tour. The tour guide was a wealth of knowledge and interesting facts. Well worth the time! A heads-up, if you take the last tour of the day, the gift shop will be closed by the end of the tour.

There is a free tour for tourists that you have to book online.

Visited here with a friend. Largely free to roam most parts of the building when the politicians are not in session. Had to opportunity to see many areas of the building.

Went on a tour of the building and sat in on Question Period. Really cool experience, highly recommend learning about Manitoba's history and our political system. The building is stunning.

Beautiful grounds to stroll through and get another Canadian history lesson as you read plaques around the grounds. Lots of green space with sculptures. If in Winnipeg I suggest coming down and taking a look for yourself. #localguides

It's a nice place to walk around with family and friends. The surroundings are peaceful and lots of trees, benches too to sit down and read books so might as well to bring one if you want to go here.

I was really surprised on how rich this building is marble floors brass everywhere and the also that the materials used have such detail. You do have to sign in with valid ID there are free guided tours and lots of free parking. Also take the time to walk around outside this building and the work that was put into this is really worth the time.

I really liked the tour. Fascinating building/architecture and they have birch syrup in the gift store which is unique!

Beautiful gardens and unique sculptures. There are a few buildings that have descriptions of the artist and more sculptures (air conditioned which was a nice break from the heat). I'm so happy this place is free to visit! Highly recommend.

This was one of the best stops we made on our trip, and it was free!!! On top of having some of the most beautiful pieces of art in Winnipeg, the garden is organized well, and we took so many pictures while walking around there. There's parking right outside of the garden as well as another one by the English garden. Make sure to go out early in the morning to have the area mostly to yourself!

The park is located near Assiniboine park within walking distance, there is also an English garden nearby.

One of the most beautiful gardens I have ever been to. I highly recommend!

This past summer I photographed a beautiful outdoor wedding in the sculpture garden! There are so many spots to bring a couple for the photoshoot section of the day, and of course the ceremony over the pond is absolutely beautiful! The location and shade provided in the garden make for some beautiful soft light in the afternoon and there’s also a spot that is cleared so you can get a photo from across the pond.

Free access to many beautiful sculptures, we were very pleased.

We went in late July and the flowers had bright vivid colors with sculptures intermixed. It is also right next to the English garden with even more amazing flowers and plants

Quite a sight to see. Very large, wide pathways, many of which contain benches and brickwork that have dedications on them ( very cool ). Also a couple of buildings that feature art pieces and sculptures. Including sample sculptures of how they were made. Garden is kept very tidy. A must see.

A beautiful place to spend some time...sculptures are amazing...

I love this place, in the winter, summer; whenever. It's a beautiful spot for Winnipeg.

Went while it was very cold, but the sculptures looked cool covered in snow. The roads were a tad confusing but manageable

The Leo Mol Sculpture Garden in Assiniboine Park is a serene and enchanting space that combines nature and art beautifully. It features an impressive collection of sculptures by the talented artist Leo Mol, set amidst lush gardens and tranquil pathways. The garden offers a peaceful escape, allowing visitors to appreciate art in a natural setting. It's a perfect place for a leisurely stroll, and the sculptures' craftsmanship and diversity make it a delightful cultural experience within the park.

The Leo Mol Sculpture Garden (at the arbour) is an absolutely incredible spot for an outdoor wedding ceremony! We got married there in the beginning of June and the garden was so lush and green. The grounds are very well kept. Everyone walking through the garden is kind and has a smile on their face. It brings out the best in people! For weddings, the location includes set-up and tear down by Assiniboine Park staff and nice white chairs. I had to follow-up with Assiniboine Park staff frequently to get the information I needed and to get my questions answered leading up to the big day which was frustrating but no other location would have fit the vision we had. If you are looking for an outdoor ceremony space - this can't be beat!

It's such a pretty park to walk in. We walked around and took plenty of very nice pictures. You can see that they care for their plants.

Great collection of Sculptures/art. Free to visit. Have to hunt for RV parking, A fair bit of car parking. It is located in the park. Check for operating hours. A nice way to spend some time.

The Leo Mol Sculpture Garden is an absolutely beautiful spot for Weddings. Whether having your ceremony there or just taking a stroll through for some photos. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. As a photographer, Leo Mol is one of my favorite locations for weddings!

Beautiful gardens,sculptures and water features. Stunning as the sun sets. Worth noting that the garden closes at 9pm.

This is a must go place where you witness production of coins. Was lucky enough to witness production of coins 🪙 for another country in process. There is need to book in advance so as to enjoy the guided tour. You can also enjoy the free unguided tour anytime you visit. Souvenirs include 1 carat crushed gold in a cute small bottle as well as gold and/or silver coins

Went to the Royal Canadian Mint with my family and cousin visiting from Australia! Rochelle was an amazing tour guide she is knowledgeable of the history of the Royal Canadian Mint and the coin making process. She speaks with enthusiasm and energy and kept our group engaged! It was an interesting trip and I would definitely recommend people to visit the Mint here in Winnipeg!!

We have lived in this city for years and only now have decided to visit the Royay Canadian Mint. Very pleasant atmosphere in a beautiful building with handicap access. We booked the tour and our guide (Kade) did a wonderful job of keeping us engaged. I learned a lot and will come back again.

The tour was very informative and the staff very knowledgeable. We learned so much we never knew…I had no idea they minted for so many other countries! Thanks for the information!

Absolutely hands down worth finding this iconic location. Take the tour, embrace the vast amount of money made here daily. Totally a cool place to make part of your travel plans in Winnipeg. Cheers, Spicy Jan

Had the opportunity to visit the mint in May 2023.I can easily say they are must visit facility.Took the guided tour and it turned out to be the best in the class.Our guide "Alyena" explained the process and handled all queries like a pro. Coming out of the tour shop they have a very well fair priced souvenir boutique having large collection of unique coins and other merchandise worth collecting. Good job Alyena and team Winnipeg Mint.

Math will open any doors. Integrity and attention to detail. I was permitted an unescorted tour. I have the credentials I hold due to my ability of math, and integrity, honour and vigilance. Given. Math will open doors for you. The Mint was highly organized with obvious care and attention to detail. Their primary focus is apparent. They care about currency resilience and circulation sustainability/ resiliency. I am personally confident they mean it. They have banners regarding high safety practices, and given the high tech they had on their forklift, this I also feel is true. Thank you sir, for the high honour and privilege you allowed me. I will never forget. David

Really informative and Oliver was a great tour guide with lots of knowledge, patience and humour! The tour is geared to slightly older kids, but there is a colouring station in the gift shop for younger ones to create their own coins. The building is beautiful and parking is very accessible. If you want to see the production floor in action, going Tuesday - Friday is recommended. The online booking system is glitchy but was resolved with a phone call.

Tour was really informative. Guide was energetic, engaging and knowledgeable. Great value. Would definitely recommend this to visit when in Winnipeg.

Very unique looking building! Highly recommend going on a tour (better to go on a weekday so you can see the machines working). The gift shop has some unique collector coins to buy. Loved the little tidbits of information from the tour.

It was very informative and fun. The ticket price is $12. Would suggest visiting by car, the public transport is not well connected to this place.

had a wonderful tour by some sweet young lady named... Karen. She will show you her cool collection of crushed coins and coin accessories from her sick apron. Hopefully on the tour you get to see the Coin Crusher 2000 where the bad coins go. Very exciting place. And the gift ship is designed to keep you searching for the perfect gift for hours. 5* loved it.

The overall experience at the Royal Canadian Mint was fantastic, the tour was decently paced, informative and funny! The only downside o have about the experience is how inaccessible the place is. Taking public transit there is a nightmare as the buses stop 20 minutes away and you have to walk next to a highway. Also the premises of the mint itself so not have sidewalks which give it a very hostile welcome to those who didn't drive into the place.

I'm what you call a novice coin collector. While in Winnipeg, I planned on making the Royal Canadian Mint a stop. They offer guided tours, but the wait for a guided tour was going to be an hour and a half. The kind cashier mentioned we could go on a self guided tour once the current guided tour finished for no cost. We waited about 20 minutes, then she guided us to the escalator and went up to the second floor. While the guided tour would have been better, walking around, reading the placards that explain the minting process was good enough. They were in full production, and we were able to see large machines rolling coins and employees stuffing boxes with rolled coins. A plain clothed security guard was coming our way, and I asked if he worked there and if I could ask him a few questions. He agreed and was super friendly, just like the Manitoba license plates say: "Friendly Manitoba". We spent about 25 minutes exploring the second floor, watching various parts of minting and reading the placards. You can not take photos of the production area, which is a drag, but I understand. When we were done, I couldn't resist and picked up a 1oz silver coin and a roll of 50 cent peices with King Charles on the back. I now think I've got the bug for coin collecting. Great spot to visit if you are in Winnipeg.

Wow! Who knew it could be so cool!!! The tour was FANTASTIC, though I wish I could have been part of a slightly smaller group. Not as much as I had expected to see in the gift shop, but they still had so much cool stuff! The tour guides were so knowledgeable and fascinating! Even my kids liked it!

This was a highlight of our trip. Our guide was kind and entertaining and we learned a lot about the minting process, history of coins, and lots of fun facts. Tour spots are reserved online or via phone and you can pay when you arrive.

Excellent tour Olivier gave us was great. Definitely worth the visit.

Very cool space inside and out. (No on-site restaurant :-( ) Great tour ... must see attraction ... 60 to 120 minutes depending how much you walk around outside. No Photographs of the production machines allowed.

Great place to get educated about everything this place does! Sure is a lot more than what you would think. Many commemorative coins for many different people and things. Some coins are minted in pure gold. Info on folks involved in design and much more. Sorry we weren't able to get in on a tour. Flags of nations gives you a chance to learn even more. If you are in Winnipeg don't miss this and call ahead to book a tour!

Had a guided tour by Kade who did a fantastic job of explaining the entire coin making process, history and fun facts. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit!

Kade was our tour guide and he did an excellent job! I highly recommend his tour. Kade was very knowledgeable and friendly and he made the tour fun and interesting for all ages. He was also very able and willing to answer any questions. I hope you enjoy your tour!

Lovely place!! We personally were not super into planes but we really enjoyed learning about everything and reading the stories. We spent 1 hour there and looked at everything. For an aviation enthusiast, I’m sure this place would be amazing. There’s lots on display, interactive walls, bits about the role of aviation in space and war, and stories. It’s a very spacious and clean place. Not busy at all—mainly families. Staff was super nice. There is a coatcheck and free lockers. There is also a gift shop. This was a nice place to go to before our flight. It’s right next to the airport.

The new building of the Royal Aviation Museum is unbelievable! I've been to the old one and it was ok, but the new one is perfection! And not only that, the exhibits are very interesting and in mint condition and everything is very neat. The volunteers are very helpful and they got so many things for the kids. The whole idea of collecting stamps in the 'passport' is great! It keeps the kids motivated and interested. This is an absolute must see when you visit Winnipeg!

A well presented museum. Nice variety of aircraft both passenger and Canadian forces. Staff are very helpful, there was a display that required a “tour” in order to board the craft, staff member took us aboard and gave us the tour, super cool and thank you! Worth a visit, they were doing a kids birthday party as well, good community interaction.

Great museum for all ages. There's definitely something here for everyone. Nice new clean bright facility. Lots of Full size planes to admire. Many interactive exhibits. The kids get to climb in and control a plane from inside the cockpit. There a great playground for the kids as well. Worth a trip for sure.

Wonderful place to go to kill a couple of hours. The facility is nice and new. Great displays with a lot of information. There is technically no fee to get into the museum but if you park in its parking lot then there is a 5$ fee. Honestly, it is worth it if you do drive, keeps the car close and supports the museum.

An excellent museum that I was happy to find was walkable from Winnipeg airport, having arrived to find my flight was delayed. Time flew by reading about all the planes and Canada's unique history of flight. A particular highlight was talking to Bob (who at time of review volunteers on Tuesdays) about his experiences in the CF-104 Starfighter and other planes. If you happen to be there on a Tuesday, I would recommend seeking him out if you can. There is an area where you can listen in to air traffic control and watch as the planes take off from the nearby airport, as well as a kid's section teaching and demonstrating the principles of flight. All in all a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon – especially if you have some time to kill before a flight!

Had a great visit to the Royal Aviation Museum. I was there for about 2 hours and paid $5 for parking. The museum has 2 floors with lots of planes to view and even a retired Air Canada plane to walk through. There is also an activity place for kids to play and also a fee for younger kids to ride a pedal plane. The volunteers are very friendly and helpful.

Loved it. We had been wanting to check it out since it opened and then we moved away. I had been to the old one numerous times, and the new facility is very nice. We took our kids as well as a friend and her special needs son. The staff were very accommodating and professional. There were lots of interactive exhibits that we all enjoyed and the kids all learned a few new things. The observation deck was also a favourite as we were all able to watch planes land, take off, and taxi. Great way to spend some time.

I was excited by the news of this newly reconstructed museum’s opening in 2022 and I finally got to visit it in October 2023. The space is gorgeous! It was sparkling clean and I love how the architectural design allows plenty of natural light to enter the building. The floorspace is a bit smaller than what I had expected, but the planes and exhibits are very well laid out. As a civil aviation fan, the highlights for me were the Air Canada Convair (visitors can walk up the stairs and enter to see the cockpit, cabin and galley), as well as the planespotting area on the second floor with large, clear windows towards the runway and live ATC radio. I only had an hour to spend before heading to the airport and it felt rushed but the visit was worth it. I would recommend at least 1.5 to 2 hours for a leisurely visit.

Very interesting! Lots of airplanes and history packed into the hangers. It should be even better when they get the new location up and running. Love it when they bring in the old but still flyable planes for special events. They do need to advertise those better. Too often you hear about it after the fact.

Our first visit to the renovated Aviation Museum. We were impressed with the display and notes by the displays. Easy to have a great look at the planned from all sides. The observation area was well spaced. We were very impressed by the loan of a motorized wheelchair. This gave one of our party a great opportunity to see all of the museum.

It's splendid! Very informative, still remaining fun. Good for all ages, not too expensive, I will definitely recommend this place in the future. Impressive work for the restauration and preservation of those planes.

We recently visited the Royal Aviation Museum, and we were surprised how huge it was! We loved exploring the various galleries. From learning about the incredible women in Canadian aviation to discovering the intriguing stories behind recovered plane wreckage, we were completely immersed in the experience. One of the highlights was getting to ride in a smaller plane. Though it did not fly lol it was fun and gave us a taste of the aviation world. Oh, and we can't forget the vintage Air Canada passenger plane – it was a true blast from the past! Honestly, one day wasn't enough to fully appreciate everything the museum has to offer. We're already planning our next visit because we simply can't get enough. If you're into aviation or just looking for a fantastic day out, the Royal Aviation Museum is an absolute must-visit. Trust us, it's worth it!

This is a fantastic museum for anyone interested in aviation or mechanics in general. I visited with my wife and two young children for about two hours on a Friday morning. I could’ve spent a bit longer at the museum, as there is a lot to see. They have lots of restored planes, artifacts, and very professional videos available for viewing. It was a bit long for the little ones—they had fun checking everything out, including exploring the two planes you’re able to enter, and spent some time playing on the playground, but they enjoyed their time there. I felt we got good value for money. It was about $50 for our family of four to enter and another $5 for parking. Highly recommend a visit to this beautiful facility.

One of my favourite air museums. Excellent collection. Wonderful, knowledgeable, staff. Make sure you take time to look at everything closely! Great for anyone. I try and go every time I am in Winnipeg.

Had an amazing time at the museum. We were a part of the guided tour and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We also had the opportunity to enter a few of the aircraft on display. Most of the displayed exhibits are restored to its original condition and still work, at least that is what we were told. If you’re at the airport and have sometime to kill then I would recommend you visit this place.

Super impressed. In town for work. Had a spare afternoon so stopped by with one of the other instructors. Last time I was at this museum would of been 1999 I think. Theyve done such a good job here.

We had a great time at this Museum, they have a lot of historical aircrafts, some that were built but never used, different types of engines for aircraft and a simulator that was used many years ago, it was nice to see history preserved like this. And if interested the also have a gift shop onsite Lots of paid parking

Nice place to visit and learn about the aviation in the past and see how things used to be in 1900s. The museum has also a viewing deck to watch flights landing and taking off from Winnipeg airport.

A purpose built interactive aviation museum, which follows the inception of air travel in Canada to space expedition. It's wheelchair accessible on both floors and has a washroom. Recorded plane engine sounds can be found across the hall from entry and the Ghost plane's story of a 30 year expenditure makes the experience surreal. It's a place kids would love to visit

My second time here. It's always fun to be able to see the Aviation Museum. It's always fun to feel like a child all over again 🙃

Great attraction located on the far westside of Winnipeg. Lots to do for both adults and children. Abundance of trails and even several boardwalks over that span over the water. Numerous events and additional activities that change regularly. There is an admission fee but its relatively small for the amount of activities you can do. The bison pen is usually very active making for great photo opportunities. The interpretive centre has lots of small activities for children including animal displays, live fish/marine life, live reptiles, etc. Boardwalk near the marsh has an abundance of wildlife. Reception centre has a nice cafe and gift shop that features local makers. Highly recommend.

One of the best things Winnipeg has to offer! From the birds and bison, to the gift shop, cafe, interpretive center and all it’s amazing programs, workers and volunteers; it’s nirvana. Cheap too for a day of outdoor education and serenity! Or free if your like me and walk/bike in!! I could go on for pages about how special this place is. If I could give more than 5 ⭐️, it would be infinitely (and still not enough). This is literally my happiest place on earth. ☀️🌲

Great experience overall, didn't look too much into what was offered going into it. was pleasantly surprised by the amount of features including the bison hill, board walks, and the tree house was a really cool thing to check out! Recommend coming here alone or with family and making a day of it!

I recently visited this place and was completely fascinated by the beauty and serenity that this place offers. From the moment I entered, I perceived a feeling of tranquility that is difficult to find elsewhere. This is a real gem for nature lovers and those who wish to immerse themselves in an environment rich in biodiversity. The variety of plants, trees is extraordinary. I loved how each section is precisely curated, allowing visitors to explore and discover the wonders of global flora. Every corner offers a new educational and visual experience. This is also a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. Strategically placed benches offer quiet corners to sit and contemplate your surroundings. In conclusion, I highly recommend a visit to this place to anyone who wishes to spend time immersed in the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom. It is an experience that I deeply appreciated and that I will certainly repeat.

FortWhyte is a place that never disappoints. It is equally fun to go during each season and see how much the landscape changes. Kids can have fun looking for bugs and learning about Manitoban animals.

At the best location. Parking available at some spots. i feel this place is very relaxing. Stay tgere for a while. You'll find trees, animals like bisons etc and other creaturs very much into the nature. you can see people boating and sailing. you can also see vegetables garden and solar panels.i personally believe it is great setup.one must go there. i feel like spending more time. you can buy fresh vegetables etc and support local business. i think they post updates about the same.

It is an fantastic getaway in the middle of the city. Great place for a picnic or just to relax and have some peace and quiet.

Awesome trails and lots of greenery. Good place for watching goose, ducks and other animals and a lot of history. Bison viewing is available. Great place to spend weekends and watch sunset. the museum has a lot of taxidermy stuff of owls, bears, bison, deer, cougar, foxes and so on. Entry tickets for two is about $21 dollars if you are not a member. It is worth it.

Visited here in the winter to try out snowshoeing. We rented from them and also brought our own snowshoes. It was fun going on their trails and on the frozen-over ponds and lakes. We even encountered a couple of deer in their forest trail. After snowshoeing we spent time on theit toboggan run. They have large toboggans on-site and these are free to use once you are already in the park. Of course, it's always nice seeing the bison enclosure. They also have a shop, cafe and a small museum.

Morning winter hike. It wasn't too icy when I visited so my poles where not necessary. Lots of deer walking around and birds chirping around. Fun place to visit and walk around in any season.

Excellent place to experience trail walking and biking. Bison viewing so close to the city is awesome. The animals and arts in the museum are so lively. The flooding boardwalk trail is so nice.

Had so much fun! Lots of activities to do like kayaking, paddle boats, biking, etc. There’s also a cafe inside and the staffs were really accomodating. This is the perfect getaway within the city.

Great spot grew up going to camps here and assume they still have these would recommend for parents. A great path system to bike through connected to some great mtn bike trails on Bison butte. Would recommend checking them out.

Fortwhyte Alive is the perfect quintessential Canadian winter afternoon hang out. Snow shoes. Paths. Investigating a frozen Marsh. The lakes were mainly frozen. The sledding run is terrifyingly fun (or just terrifying depending on who you are). The interactive center is excellent - love staring into the dark, deep waters at some local fish. Great afternoon.

Although I do not find any Halal food at this place, I feel peaceful and relaxed there. I always walk through a beautiful garden nearby and love to experience natural beauties. People love to feed ducks near the river bank and it's a beautiful place to get photos clicked. Overall, a thumbs up.

Really neat space, great shops and restaurants. A really neat public space well worth checking out. The lookout has great views of the river and downs town area. Take advantage of the trails that pass quite the assortment of art installations.

Oh man, Winnipeg has changed so much! I've been coming here for business over the past three years, and let me tell you, it's like a whole new place now. The south end and the Forks Market are all trendy and happening. You gotta check it out when you're in Canada! And let's talk about the food, dude! Fish and chips, hot pot, and tacos, they've got it all, and it's all freaking delicious. During my last visit, I went all out and ate everything I could get my hands on. No regrets! Only thing I wish for is more shops besides just restaurants, you know? But hey, there's this awesome candy shop that you've got to see. It's pretty cool. Oh, and don't worry about parking, it's paid but super cheap. By the way, while you're there, don't miss out on checking the humane museum nearby. It's worth a visit, for sure. Enjoy your time in Winnipeg, buddy!

Visited this market today March 29, 2024 For first time. Market was busy and had many food outlets with common sitting areas. Market gives good vibes of old traditional decor matched with new trendy looks. There are good food options available here. No serious shopping here mostly souvenir shop and few others. Must place to visit if you’re in Winnipeg

I love the old historic side of the Forks Market. From the exposed brick walls and narrow alleys to the small shops lining the place, it's a place I keep coming back to. It's a busy place on a weekend evening, but that is to be expected. I wandered around the food court for quite some time, checkingbout the various vendors before deciding to go Sri Lankan - but by then they had closed. Then I went for round two and wound up at the Fusian Experience: a place that serve q variety of Asian food including an assortment of sushi and other seafood. I settled for the Hawaian rice bowl. It was an entirely new experience for me. There were flavours and foods there that I had never tasted before. I sat down to enjoy the meal amidst a very noise crowd. When finished, I wandered upstairs to check out the shops and displays there. Unfortunately they were all closed already. I guess that calls for another visit... Next my way led me out of doors, across the plaza to the Johnson terminal, which I briefly toured, and then out another door along walking paths to the walking trails criss-crossing the grounds surrounding. Due to the warm weather we've had the last several days, a lot of the trails were slushy or even had several inches of water on them. I made my way around the puddles as best I could, sometimes using the skating trail and other times walking on the snow beside. I walked over to the Provencher Bridge, stopped to admire the lofty heights of the structure, and turned back to get a glimpse of the Human Rights Museum thru the spires of the bridge pointing skyward. Finally, I directed my steps back to the Forks Market via the Human Rights Museum grounds. It was a worthy experience, one I hope to return to in the summer time when the lawns and trees and shrubs grown green and the weather is warm.

Always a wonderful experience when we go to the Forks. Delicious food to choose from, beautiful stores to look through, amazing grounds to walk through. Decided to do the boat tour again and was not disappointed! Guy was an amazing tour guide! Learned new things on this tour about our history.

A must-visit location whenever we are in Winnipeg. A wide variety of shops and restaurants. A good selection of places to eat, whether you're looking for a coffee break, or a full meal. There is also an array of specialty shops selling various food items. Upstairs the shops feature clothing, books, art, and other dry goods. It is always a good experience when we visit.

Great central location to check out in Winnipeg. Lots of great local shops and fun food options in the location at the forks here. Great walking / biking paths all around here.

I just stumbled upon this place and wow was I impressed. The building is beautiful and there are so many small unique restraunts and shops. I was overall really impressed. The seating is appropriate for how busy it is and the setting was quite clean. Would recommend for any tourist looking for an indoor afternoon activity.

A very nice modern place. Many local restaurants with variety of food from pizzas to pastas to Asian to burgers and fish and ships. Variety of drinks and beers. Get your food and pick a place to sit and enjoy the surrounding.

Awesome spot downtown Winnipeg, next to the Human Rights Museum. Lots of local shops and restaurants all under the same roof. I ate at Fergies Fish and Chips (3 fish types available. I went with the cheapest option - cod). It was delicious and I loved the fries. There's also an arcade in the market. Being a kid in the 1980's, pinball played a big part of my childhood. They have some of the newer pinballs along one wall, and older pinballs from the 80's along another wall. The pinballs I played were mostly new Stern pinballs at $1 per game. Paid parking lot with reasonable prices. $2/hr in March 2024.

What a beautiful well thought out place for visitors and locals. From the shopping to the food selection to the river boat cruise, so much fun. They had the street feast happening across from the forks, which was great. I loved how they have so much space for you to sit with a nice beverage or walk along the river, and through the park. Way to go Winnipeg you've made it a great space for everyone.

Super cute vibe. Love the building, the verity of stores and stuff however, the food options are pretty sad. Bad menus all around. Definitely wouldn't eat here again. Need new options.

A place you must to see if you like artworks and learn about the history. I felt in love with this place, there are some paintings from the famous painters like Pablo Picasso and more. When you see the paintings from newest to oldest it felt like you’re exploring back to the past which allows us to understand how our civilization evolved over the centuries. It felt so amazing!! 🤩🤩🤩 You could also learn about the indigenous people history. 😍

I visited the gallery nearly a week ago and I’m still thinking about the Tim Gardner exhibit. The way this was setup, how his story was told, and the flow of the space absolutely highlighted Tim’s talent. In emoji form, this exhibit is 🤯. I love the fact the first floor of the gallery is free to all. The Inuit art is so beautiful and the sheer volume of what’s in the gallery took my breath away. It makes me want to learn more about the stone that was used and the process behind the creation. Overall, a gorgeous gallery with inspiring exhibits and permanent pieces. The exterior alone is a piece of art. I will definitely be back next time I’m in Winnipeg.

We went to the qaumajug Inuit Art exhibit. It was a very pleasant visit. The exhibits had good explanations and were educational. I recommend the WAG to anyone who wants something interesting to do. Also a very nice coffee shop.

It's definitely a recommendation for anyone looking for something to do on the weekend or when your free. Spent a good 3 or 4 hours there looking at all the art... They even have a gift shop there too.

One of the largest collections I've come across dedicated to Indigenous artwork from the North. It's a really beautiful space and centrally located downtown. I spent an hour there as I came near closing time and it was rushed - I could have used another hour.

Went with my kids to an empty gallery and couldn’t believe security followed us and asked us to it fix our masks when my six year old lowered a bit. Plus watched water fountains like high security. Not a pleasant place. My 11 year wasn’t inspired she felt like there was more security watching us then people visiting. The new display was without representation.

Went here with my family in law. I loved to the way everything was put together. I never knew their dark history. Because in The Netherlands everything is shown from the perspective of the coloniser. I was happy that my cousin in law could tell me everything about it.

There was a change of exhibit happening but honestly that didn’t make me the experience less than amazing. I really loved the way it flowed and the choice of pieces that were displayed. And the gift shop has some fun hidden gems.

This was such a lovely evening! The performance and interaction with musicians was wonderful. Relaxing. Peaceful. Pretty. Will definitely go again. We went a bit early and were there when the doors opened so we could get good seats.

Lovely building architecture. The art exhibits, nicely displayed, covered a few genres but for me the most enjoyable were the stone carved figures column in the entry but most importantly was the Inuit section. The artistry and craftsmanship represented in the creations was just simply beautiful. A real gem. The staff were friendly and helpful especially the young lady in the cafe.

this is a must-see attraction for winnipeg. we came on the second sunday of the month which we were excited to learn was free entry! entry fees are very reasonable anyways for all you get to see. we saw gorgeous and informative collections of first nations art. i especially loved the feature in the front foyer where you could learn more about the statues by choosing its number on the touch screen computer and more pictures and details are provided. the gift shop was AWESOME, so many creative gifts priced from surprisingly affordable, to luxury. i have been to many art galleries all over the world and this is one my favourites!

I recently visited the museum gallery with my kids on a free Sunday, and it was truly an amazing experience. The grand entrance of the "Color Therapy" exhibit was both inviting and vibrant, with its seamless blending of white space and a mishmash of captivating colors. It was heartening to see a dedicated area for kids to create their own art, adding a wonderful touch of interactivity. However, my personal highlight was undoubtedly the section featuring Victorian, realism, and classic portraits. These portraits eloquently painted a rich tapestry of history, and I found myself engrossed in reading the backstories that accompanied each piece. The depth and attention to detail in these artworks were truly impressive. Another captivating exhibit was the indigenous art display, which provided a poignant lens into the truth and reconciliation of past hurts. It was an eye-opening experience, and I felt a deep sense of connection to the stories told through the art. Spending time in this section left me feeling enlightened and more aware of the struggles and resilience of indigenous communities. The museum also offered a haven for relaxation and unwinding. I could easily spend an entire afternoon there, away from the constant buzz of technology, feeling refreshed and calm. One of the highlights for my kids was the scavenger hunt for indigenous art pieces, which added an element of excitement and engagement for them. My only wish is that there were more interactive activities like the scavenger hunt. These activities would undoubtedly enhance the overall experience for both children and adults, making the museum visit even more immersive and memorable. All in all, our visit to the museum gallery was an enriching and enjoyable experience. From the captivating color therapy exhibit to the thought-provoking Victorian portraits and the eye-opening indigenous art display, the museum provided a well-rounded and engaging journey through art and history. It's a place that both educates and inspires, making it a must-visit for families seeking a blend of culture, history, and creativity.

March 2023 I am not an art gallery lover, but today as a tourist in Winnipeg, my day was enjoyable. Admission on the second Sunday of every month is free thanks to Canada Life. The museum was apparently busier than usual, but not crowded. The main floor has an impressive collection of indigenous sculptures. Then the upper floors have permanent and temporary exhibits like any other gallery. The 150th Anniversary exhibit of the Winnipeg Free Press was my favourite area because I could relate to it. Interesting information, and a table where one could create a newspaper article using stamp pads and crayons. There was also a book reading that day in the main floor atrium of a children's book read by the author. She was inspired to write this book by her daughters. This was well attended by patrons, and the book was available to purchase, and of course it could be signed by the author. The gift store had amazing items to purchase at mostly amazing prices. Often original or unique pieces are for display only. Not here though. One could purchase a beautiful original carving for as little as $23,000 CDN. Moccasins, posters, artwork, books, jewelry.....

I have been to the WAG a number of times but this was my first time attending a show here. The show was absolutely beautiful, a quartet performed Pink Floyd's biggest hits in an intimate candle lit performance. I just wish the show was longer!

Watch Candlelight Concert... featuring Taylor Swift Songs... it's was mesmerizing! The place was well organized.

Candlelight: A Tribute to Taylor Swift. It was an awesome night to remember. Go and check it out!

They took me out to the ballgame. I enjoyed it. A great night of baseball. Besides the train and it's screeching brakes you almost forget that this amazing baseball diamond is in the heart of the city.

Love the atmosphere here. A great way to start off the game is having your twin boys be the "lets play ball kids". After the 2 anthems they got to be in the spot light. So show up early and you may get your chance.

Attended Shaw Park for their 1st annual brew fest. The park put on a really good beer festival all with local Manitoba craft breweries. Everything seem to run smoothly and while there were a lot of people in attendance, the lines were short at each of the booths. They also had a few bands play throughout the day which were all very good. Looking for to another event in the future.

Amazing field which has fully great atmosphere of Game. Such an incredible experience with many different food shops. People here can get their fun from game, drinks and friends who maybe known each other for a long time.

Went here for a goldeyes game, was a great time. Very fun for all ages. There is a game pack for $75 that has five tix and five beers, great deal. They came with seats in Section C which is near the beer garden. More of a 20s and 30s crowd there. Tons of fun. Plenty of food options, was really impressed. Great Time will be back for sure

A great small stadium perfect for an evening out. Tickets are inexpensive and it feels like you get what you pay for. Great atmosphere and if you sit on the visitor side you’ll be in the shade for an evening game. Sat in the front row right behind the visitor dugout and it was definitely worth it, it felt like we were part of the team. Lots of food options, although it seemed like there were more in years past.

Great place to catch a ball game! Lots of food and drink options available. Fireworks after the game are very well done. The field level patio area is great for corporate events as well.

Always a family favourite to head to the ball park for a Goldeyes game. Tickets are reasonable with lots of food options on the concourse. We regularly take friends or family visiting and they too have a great time

Small stadium with a great atmosphere. The Museum of Human Rights does wreck the view a bit, as the parkland gives it a nice feel. The food offerings are diverse and one can find what suits their taste. Offers up local brews for sale as well.

We had a good experience attending our first ballgame at the park. The kids enjoyed the fireworks! For days there are giveaways, plan to come early since it is only while supplies last. We didn't get any :( coz we came 10 minutes before the game. It would be nice if they give away during the game as well for those who did not get at the entrance. The camera seems to focus on a certain side of the stadium and some too much of the same people, some kids are looking to be featured but did not get the opportunity, perhaps because of the one person camera limitations. We know what to expect next time. It's our first Goldeyes game as a family and we enjoyed it. Oh yeah parking is good, I did not have any issues.

Love shaw park and love the Goldeyes! Win or lose, always an amazing experience. Very affordable for a night out even with a group. One of the last sports events that isn’t crazy overpriced. Fun and friendly staff throughout.

Nice ball park and food costs what you might expect in a stadium... a little pricey.

Beautiful cathedral ruins with lots of history. Picture perfect for weddings which can be booked by the hour. Active church with services in the morning and evening. Short walk to museum, university and great views across the river. Rainy late afternoon but still an amazing visit. Free parking, stairs up towards the ruins.

Great visit when in Winnipeg. The cathedral is amazing and you can find all the resting places for local heroes. Is like walking on a map! The event venue in the basement is outdated but clean. No natural light nor cellphone coverage, a little bit claustrophobic.

Meet Archbishop Legatt... felt very blessed, given this opportunity to spend the day with him together with the others. The host was amazing...sorry I forgot her name.

Beatiful cathedral, it has a beautiful virgin inside, Very peaceful place, perfect for reflecting, praying.

History of Manitoba you see today starts here. Guided tour will help you learn a lot

It's great how they preserved the old Cathedral.

One of my favorite places in the city

An imposing and impressive edifice facing the river. The cemetery in front of the Cathedral is also a worthwhile place of visit, exhibiting various important scenes of historic importance

I’m not a religious person, but I loved going there. I must confess that I entered the temple because it was freezing outside and my mobile phone had turned off. So I said: ‘why not?’ They were offering a mass / service, and I decided to sit down and try to follow what the priest was saying. I don’t speak French, but I managed to sing as they were showing the lyrics on a big screen. So I must say that it’s a nice and friendly place that’s definitely worth visiting.

Visiting Saint Boniface Cathedral is like time travel, and it is a wonderful experience. The paintings, the history, the cemetery. This is definitely a place you need to visit not only as a tourist but also as a local.

I love bringing visitors here to see the cathedral. Beautiful in the daylight, but also stunning at night. Walking out the front you'll see the esplanade and the human rights museum at night, picture attached. Couldn't find Louis Riel's tombstone in the dark, though not the plaque that described the fire.

This beautiful historical site looks amazing from far and close. Great spot for outside even and to look into some CANADIAN history.

This park is small but nice. Especially in the summer. The variety of flowers is mesmerizing. Sometimes, it's hard to find parking, but it's not really busy on the weekdays. The restaurant offers ice cream and some simple food from the outside window, and the restrooms under the restaurant are accessible to the public year round.

It has several parking lots in and around the park. Has many seating tables … it is a very good option for family picnics and lunch dates.

🟢 WALK in NATURE … Being at this beautiful park, makes you loose yourself from the daily chores of life. The lush greenery, chirping of birds, ducks ponds, playful squirrels, etc. have a very positive effect on us. It’s a perfect place for picnics, walking, running, cycling, kids play grounds, swimming, football, volleyball, etc. The park is very maintained with clean washrooms, plenty of parking and also has a restaurant touching a large water body.

Playgrounds, hiking, ponds flower gardens are free to enjoy. There is a cost for admission to the pool and splash pad. One thing that is lacking is parking. It is a very well utilized park, so parking can be difficult, especially near the pool and main playground.

Classic Winnipeg park with multiple attractions. Always lots of families enjoying the sites with bbqs, parties, and gatherings. Great for driving around in your classic or not so classic car. The witches hut, Rainbow Stage, gardens, and great walking paths.

We went skating there one evening. The pond is a nice size, pretty good steps to get onto the ice, and there is a large indoor change area with benches to put on your skates. The ice surface had a few cracks and gouges in it, so you need to watch out for those. Pretty lights over most of the surface made for a nice evening skate.

Gorgeous park, lots of different areas connected by footpaths. It's like a park in a forest there are so many trees. Canadian geese love it here. Clean washrooms. Restaurant. Perfect for walking, picnicking, riding through on your bike. Playground, swimming pool.

nice place to visit there’s many things to see! i walked around for a bit and saw a park and a very nice bridge. and just that was very amusing! i also enjoyed this one thing it was like water and there were like a few ducks in it ! very cool

My favorite park! Beautiful flower gardens and majestic towering trees that hug the Red River! Duck ponds and a great restaurant featuring local foods!!!

One of the best parks in Winnipeg. Very spacious and has a nice flower arrangement during summer. Great for picnics and spending time with the family. Hopefully they will add more parking space
