Tourist Centers in Manitoba

1. The Forks:

The Forks, located at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers near Winnipeg’s downtown core, is the place to be in summer and equally fun in winter.

Restored historic buildings now house a lovely market area with unique shops, restaurants, and casual food stalls.

Some restaurants feature outdoor patios overlooking the river and walkways that run along the river. In winter, there is an outdoor skating rink that is particularly popular with families.

Also located at the Forks are the Manitoba Children’s Museum and the much anticipated Canadian Museum of Human Rights.

2. Polar Bears of Churchill:

Churchill, popularly known as the “Polar Bear Capital of the World,” lies on the harsh, rocky coast of Hudson Bay. In autumn, polar bears wander onto the ice-floes in the bay to hunt seals, and the town comes to life with visitors from around the world who come here to see these amazing animals.

Tours in tundra buggies – giant large-wheeled vehicles with caged windows – allow visitors close up encounters with the bears. Also of interest is the excellent Eskimo Museum with exhibits of Inuit works of art and tools dating from 1700 BC through the Dorset and Thule cultures to the present day.

Fort Prince of Wales National Historic Site, built by the Hudson’s Bay Company in the 1700s, can be visited during July and August and is reached by boat. Depending on the night, visitors may also be lucky enough to experience a display of northern lights.

3. The Canadian Museum of Human Rights:

The Canadian Museum of Human Rights is Winnipeg’s newest major attraction and important addition to Canada’s national museums. Many years in the making, the structure containing the museum is a unique, standout building with a design based on the Canadian landscape.

The museum focuses on a variety of themes that tell the stories of human rights issues from different perspectives. Determining which stories would be told became the source of much tension and controversy during the planning stages; an indication of how important this museum is to so many people.

4. Whiteshell Provincial Park:

About a 1.5-hour drive east of Winnipeg is the Whiteshell Provincial Park. The landscape is typical of the Canadian Shield, with hills, lakes, valleys, forests, and rivers. Moose, deer, and black bear inhabit the park. Cottages dot the shorelines of many of the lakes, but much of the wilderness area is undisturbed.

The resorts of Falcon Lake and West Hawk Lake further east offer fine beaches, sailing, and waterskiing. The Whiteshell is a popular summer destination for Winnipeggers looking to get away from the heat of the city and spend some time by the lake.

5. Festival du Voyageur:

One of Manitoba’s premier winter events is the Festival du Voyageur, celebrating the French Voyageurs who transported furs in birch bark canoes. The Festival takes place each year in February in St. Boniface, the French-speaking district of Winnipeg.

There are all kinds of outdoor events, from games to snow sculpting competitions, as well as traditional French music and cuisine and other entertainment held in outdoor tents. Despite the cold weather at this time of year, the event draws large crowds.
