Winnipeg emerges from a long, cold winter to offer a broad spectrum of outdoor activities to fit every family budget. Making the most of a short summer season, this city knows how to party!

Assiniboine Park
Open from 9:00 a.m. until dusk daily, Winnipeg's Assiniboine Park has a 40-hectare zoo, an English garden and plenty of room to roam.

Did you know? A.A. Milne's world-famous Winnie the Pooh was named after Winnipeg.

Kildonan Park
Home to some of Canada's largest and oldest trees, Kildonan Park has plenty of picnic tables and barbecue pits to round out a day in the outdoors. Public dock fishing is allowed, so pack up the fishing poles if you have them. For more information, call 204-966-7623.

Manitoba Children's Museum
Interactive exhibits are the focus for play and for learning at the Manitoba Children's Museum.
