Been here alone, as a couple and with family because it’s above average for a park in the city! I like the big walkways and overall design, plus it’s accessible from many entrances by car or on foot. Restaurant 8-4 serves breakfast too and booze lol. Sculpture garden has bronze Winnie the Pooh and other cool statutes too. Pavilion is beautiful day and night. I love the flower gardens, the art, the outdoor theatre and the three dollar steam train. Also love the nature play equipment for children and it’s extra nice because there isn’t any doggy do do as they aren’t allowed there making it cleaner and safer for young children. If you walk up to Portage Ave., you can buy an awesome burger or awesome ice cream, but expect a line up without washrooms there. Park washrooms clean. My wish is for the zoo to sell tickets like a parking lot would. I wish I could just pop in for 20 minutes and see the kangaroos because their hopping makes me feel so very happy! Id like to pay for the time I spend because often I don’t have a whole day and I spend time waiting for others that could be spent at the zoo. Parks are free, but they cost money to run and I’d be willing to pay ten bucks to see the kangaroos for a few minutes just to make myself feel awesome! Anyway just go and feel great and smile and say hi to everyone! You can skate there in winter and they always have events happening so check their website.

The Manitoba Museum is the province's largest centre for heritage and science learning, unique in its combined human and natural history themes, immersive world class dioramas, science and astronomy education, and in the scope and quality of its programs. The Manitoba Museum, housed within the Centennial Concert Hall campus and across from City Hall, presents three main offerings to the public: 1. Museum: Journey through nine immersive galleries that tell the human and natural history of Manitoba from north to south, from ancient to contemporary times. 2. Planetarium: The full-dome digital Planetarium invites you to explore the known universe. Select from a variety of shows, from pre-produced shows with live introduction, or an immersive look at the current night sky. 3. Science Gallery: Enjoy hands on fun as you test the universal laws of science and explore the wonders of technology and illusion. See a Manitoba-made Black Brant rocket, build and race your own car on a jumbo race tr

I recently participated in the Museum's Now and Then program. This is a program designed for people with early to middle dementia and their caregivers. It is two hours long and includes an introduction, a visit to a gallery, coffee and cookies and then an activity associated with the gallery that was visited. This time we visited the Urban Gallery which is augmented to reflect the Winnipeg General Strike that took place 100 years ago. There was even a short film playing in the movie theatre and like it would have been 100 years ago it was in black and white with no sound other than some music playing. The information presented before, during and after the tour was fascinating. This is a great program for everyone.

Part of "the Forks" development, this buzzing fresh and specialty foods emporium has the feel of an outdoor market, but is actually indoors. Open year-round, it offers an array of ethnic delicacies and crafts, plus four full service restaurants.

Came here twice in just a few days. This place can get busy but it’s so beautiful to be here. Places to sit and relax ( couches and tables to place games) lots of food places to choose from, great shopping , something for everyone. Big toy store and cute boutiques, great souvenirs and the views were magnificent. A must see in Winnipeg!

My family and I (4 of us) had an afternoon tour September 16th. We all give high marks to the staff who were outstanding. The clerks at the reception area, the staff keeping the building spotlessly clean, those in the gift shop and especially our tour guide - please forgive me for an incorrect spelling Mireille. Mireille was knowledgeable and kept us on our toes asking us questions, and for answering our questions. Thanks to all for a great experience.

The balance of the exhibits were also very interesting covering many aspects of Canadian history from indigenous people, immigrants, Winnipeg strike of 1917, Womens issues. As well there some international issues like the Rohinhya refugees come Myanmar. It is very informative and interesting for all interested in mans humanity to mankind which sometimes is certainly challenging.

No trip to the Peg should be without a trip to the zoo. It’s big enough that there’s space for large animals and groups. The specialty is on North American and particularly arctic/subarctic species. The polar bear conservation exhibit is excellent and there’s a swimming area for the bears and seals with underwater tunnel that when the bears are out is superb. They were snoozing in the heat today but the education piece hits home too. Together with elk, bison, musk ox, wolves, caribou, reindeer and arctic fox there’s a lot to learn about the north. And the exhibits obviously go through the winter too which makes it a year-round venue The special displays of butterflies and stingrays are interactive and great for kids. Loads to see and very well thought out. Love the zoo

We ordered pizza from The Birds Hill Campground Store tonight and it was fantastic! We pre-ordered (because we were already there) and asked for delivery to our campsite for 5:30 p.m. It arrived promptly at 5:30 and was piping hot. Delicious and fair price. Will definitely do this again!
