6 • Winnipeg's unique off-site venues P. 204.927.7600 banquets@assiniboinepark.ca assiniboinepark.ca Assiniboine Park and Zoo Assiniboine Park is the ideal location for corporate seminars, large-scale meetings, receptions and quite possibly one of the few places in the world where polar bears and seals swim overhead during your event. Located just minutes from downtown Winnipeg and the airport, Assiniboine Park is home to a variety of venues that can accommodate all styles of events, all while providing a unique visitor experience, unbelievable views and impeccable service and catering. Perfect for day or evening events, the iconic Pavilion is rich with history and old-world grandeur, providing stunning views of the surrounding parklands while being equally accommodating for seated or stand-up receptions. Summer months are particularly noteworthy, when guests can spill out onto the picturesque patio and enjoy food and beverages around the beautiful water fountain. Just across the way, the Qualico Family Centre blends in with the woodsy surroundings, boasting the ability for guests to network under the unique architecture of the angular, wood-beamed building while peering outside upon the shimmering tree-lined duck pond. Assiniboine Park Zoo can accommodate everything from strolling receptions, to formal events, to family-friendly corporate parties. For receptions, the Gateway to the Arctic facility offers guests the opportunity to stand underneath a glass-ceiling tunnel while polar bears and playful seals swim above and around. The Aurora Borealis Theatre features northern lights projected onto a 360-degree horizon, making for an illuminating setting for private dinners. Large scale groups and conferences can enjoy exclusive access to the entire Zoo after the general public has left for the evening, providing 80 acres of naturalistic habitats featuring more than 170 animal species. *Includes Gateway to the Arctic building spaces, Aurora Borealis Theatre, entrance, lobby and walkways.
