Assinboine Park
You simply won't believe the audience who will be watching
your delegates mix and mingle at Assiniboine Park and
Zoo's Journey to Churchill. Up to nine playful polar bears
and several seals call the facility home, and they'll surely
swim and play overhead and around your guests, much to
your party's amazement.
Across the park, nestled amongst trees and overlooking a
verdant or snow-covered landscape is the Qualico Family
Centre, an ideal venue for hosting events of all sizes where the
architecture is a real conversation piece – that's if you can take
your guest's eyes away from the angular floor-to-ceiling views
of the duck pond and surrounding forests and lawn.
Anderson's Hitch
'N Post Ranch
Rustic charm meets cowboy cool at this prairie-
situated ranch 25 minutes outside of Winnipeg.
Feel the prairie wind in your hair when you ride
the Prairie Dog Central Train, the vintage 1800s
steam train that takes your group to the ranch
(which just may be held up by horse-riding
outlaws... wink wink). The ranch's 4,000 square
foot main hall is charming featuring wood-
beamed ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace
that gives off that toasty aroma, and a vast
assortment of pioneering artifacts and antiques
adorning the walls.
