There are "leashed areas" I've sometimes found myself in with my dogs off-leash with me noticing the "leash area" sign somewhat hidden by bushes and trees. Would be nicer if parking lots and and both road leading to park were paved. Otherwise really great off-leash dog park that is fairly big. They should create a fenced area or fence off the "leashed areas" for those with concerns about walking their dogs on leash but if you're walking your dogs on leash, why bother going to a Dog Park?

The boardwalks were good for the most part but others were flooded in due to the high rainfall. There is a nature center with praire dogs and burrowing owls which was cool. There are a couple of teepees as well as other historical sites. At the very end, we walked towards the otherside away from the gift shop to see the free range bison. It was a nice day and couldn't ask for anything better. Also, there is a cafe at the front desk near the gift shop. We brought in our own sandwiches and drinks but you can always get something if they don't have a power outage (j/k).

Whenever I return to Winnipeg, I try to drop by The Forks. On my recent trip, I did briefly at…read morenight before flying home the following afternoon. I feel like I'm a broken record with my recent reviews when I describe The Forks. Here's the last time I say almost the same thing. The Forks is located at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers. It is known as a meeting place for over 6,000 years. Indigenous peoples traded at The Forks, followed by European fur traders, Scottish settlers, railway pioneers, and immigrants. The Forks was an abandoned railyard. The area has been repurposed over the decades to include shopping, dining, skating, and more. The Forks comprise a number of areas of interest: - The Forks Market - Johnson Terminal - Canadian Museum for Human Rights - Manitoba Children's Museum - Shaw Performing Arts Centre - Citytv - Travel Manitoba Visitor Information Centre - Inn at the Forks I'll briefly summarize each of them. The Forks Market has two floors in a former horse stable and hayloft building. The main floor is a food hall with many stalls offering good eats and drinks. The second floor has local artisan and retail stores where you can pick out unique gifts. Johnson Terminal is a four-storey building across from the Forks Market. It's a municipally designated historic site. It's a fun place to check out specialty boutiques, stores, offices, and restaurants. The main and second floors have retailers and eateries. The third and fourth floors are leased to office tenants. The basement features the Johnston Terminal Antique Mall, which has more than thirty consigners. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is also at The Forks. It's the first national museum in Canada located outside of Ottawa, which opened to the public in 2014. Its location is one of archaeological importance relating to First Nations history. This museum is fascinating and eye-opening. I highly recommend visiting it. The Manitoba Theatre for Young People is a theatre for children and young adults. It's located at the Shaw Performing Arts Centre, which used to be the Canwest Performing Arts Centre. It's a cool place for professional theatre and training in the theatre realm for both children and young adults. CItytv operates and broadcasts from the Forks Market. I remember watching its morning program before I went to work and watching the news at night. It features local news, and was helpful figure out what was going on in the city and abroad. Since The Forks is a tourist attraction, it makes sense that the Travel Manitoba Visitor Information Centre is located here. It's the visitor information centre for Manitoba, offering travel counselling and trip planning services. It's helpful to tourist and locals alike. I have never stayed at Inn at the Forks. It's a five-storey hotel with just under 120 guest rooms and suites, meeting and reception space, fitness facilities, The Current Restaurant & Lounge, and Riverstone Spa. In the summertime, it's nice to walk around and enjoy the rivers as a backdrop. There's the Assiniboine riverwalk that's enjoyable to take a walk by the water. Canada Day festivities happen here, along with outdoor concerts. In the winter, you can skate here. I have been here for New Year's Eve fireworks. I was crazy enough to watch them outdoors when it was -28°C years ago. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, especially when there's an event. It's free, which is nice. It's a cool place to visit. I learned that there's a Winnipeg sign that I need to check out the next time that I'm there. (111)

My favourite go-to place in Winnipeg. I used to come here all the time when I lived in Manitoba…read more While I was back in town, I knew I had to come here. I'm happy to report that the place is still just as charming and beautiful as I remember it. There's something to do for everyone here, from the riverwalk to the antique shops to a children's museum to a hotel to a travel info centre to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. I could go on and on about more specifics about what you can find here, but I won't do that. I LOVE how everything you find here is locally made and not commercialized. There's also excellent food options here, the majority of them all local! This is great to see, especially if you want to get a taste of Winnipeg. Classics like Fergie's Fish and Chips and The Original Pancake House can be found here, as well as some delicious pizza and food from all over the world. There's also a small observatory you can go up to get a good view of The Forks, and during winter time, from what I remember, there's an ice skating rink too. Parking can be a bit tricky sometimes but there should be plenty, regardless of when you visit. If you're debating whether or not to visit... DO VISIT. It's 100% worth the trip. I'll certainly be back here the next time I'm in the Winnipeg area.
