Canadian Museum for Human Rights
Head to the Forks to admire one of the most cutting-edge buildings in the city: the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. As you wander around the 10 core galleries, you’ll gain insight into human-rights issues in Canada and around the world through exhibits that incorporate artwork, storytelling, and technology.
The Manitoba Museum
The Manitoba Museum, in the Exchange District, puts millions of years of Manitoba history on display, showing how the province’s icy Hudson Bay coasts and its prairie plains evolved over the ages. Walk through the immersive three-dimensional galleries before heading to the Planetarium, for a spectacular trip through the constellations.
Assiniboine Forest
Just 15 minutes southwest from the center of Winnipeg, Assiniboine Forest is one of the largest urban nature parks in the country, spread across 700 acres. Six well-marked trails will lead you through the park’s aspen and oak woods. The longest is the Sagimay Trail, a loop of just over 1.5 miles that brings you to a boardwalk through the wetlands surrounding the Eve Werier Memorial Pond. Look out for a host of animals and birds on your walk, including beavers and white-tailed deer.
