Manitoba Museum
How about a private party aboard a glistening
17th century ship, without having to worry
about someone rocking the boat? Or perhaps
a reception underneath the aurora borealis
illuminated by one of the world's most advanced
projection systems? These are just some of
the spots available for events at the Manitoba
Museum, which has just completed a $5.3 million
expansion of Alloway Hall, a beautiful, massive
space featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that
overlook the Steinkopf Gardens.
Fort Gibraltar
Fort Gibraltar is a stunning replica of a circa
1810 North West Company trading outpost,
featuring towering wood walls, costumed
interpreters, and that inherent joie de vivre
that permeates out of St. Boniface, Winnipeg's
French Quarter. Inside the Fort are multiple
rooms that serve as unique venues, the
pinnacle of which is la Maison du Bourgeois,
a massive, picturesque log cabin adorned
with two large porches, a handsome stone
fireplace, and ample room for dinners
(featuring delectable French fare), dancing
and all-round good times.
