Grab a beer
This National Historic Site used as traditional meeting ground for over 1,000 years is still a great place to get together. We love taking our kids here, there’s a fanatic playground and skate park but there’s plenty for adults as well. Having undergone recent revitalization The Commons is a great place to grab any of 20 beers on tap or a glass of wine; there’s also a food court with some really great cuisine. There’s frequently concerts or events in the summer as well as winter, plenty of walking/jogging/biking paths and while you’re here may just learn a little history. Truly part of the heartbeat of Winnipeg

Just a simple place to grab a simple beer. It’s not fancy and the location/view isn’t exactly phenomenal but it’s a perfectly fine place to grab a pint.

Sightseeing
Right around the corner from the condo, this is one of the better museums I’ve visited that focuses on local and regional topics. Whether you’re into natural or cultural history there’s plenty to see or learn. The dioramas are excellent and some displays have so much detail it’s easy to get overwhelmed, but they’re also easy enough to skip so you don’t get bogged down. We think The Nonsuch is worth the visit on its own.

The Journey to Churchill and the Polar Bears are recent additions and the main attraction for good reason. On super hot and super cold days, you (we have) can literally sit under the bears as they play in the water for hours in the underwater tunnel.
The rest of the Zoo shouldn’t take a backseat, though. Wolves, Tigers, Snow Leopards can regularly be seen. It’s spread out enough to give plenty of Spence for the animals but not too tough of a walk. As far as zoos go, I always think it’s worth a visit and we renew our memberships annually

Favourite Brunch Places
Delicious brunch. To-go breakfast sandwiches are fantastic but if you have time, grab a seat, relax and enjoy.
