7 FortWhyte Alive fortwhyte.org Aspen forests, quaint lakes and picturesque prairie cover FortWhyte Alive's 640 acres, which is located within the city. In summer, hit the water in a large voyageur canoe or two-person sailboat before dining on the Buffalo Stone Café's patio that is perched upon Lake Devonian. In fall, witness North America's heaviest land animal (the bison) roam in its natural habitat as migrating birds fill the sky. In winter, go cross-country skiing or snowshoeing, or try the Richardson Rrrun Toboggan slide, which shoots you out on the ice. No matter what season, there is always an adventure to be had at FortWhyte Alive. 8 The Exchange District National Historic Site exchangedistrict.org This 20-block district boasts North America's most extensive collection of turn-of-the-20th-century buildings. While walking its charming streets, you will find some of the city's trendiest and tastiest spots, a diverse array of galleries, vintage and antique shops and some of the best the city has to offer in coffee and café culture. If you think it all looks familiar, it probably does, as the district is a frequent stand-in for New York and Chicago in Hollywood productions. 9 Royal Canadian Mint mint.ca A trip to the Mint is always on the money and worth every penny. Its reflective glass exterior is a remarkable sight, while within you can embark on guided tours that showcase how millions of coins are being produced for more than 70 different countries. More experiences include ogling over Olympic medals and purchasing collector's items in the gift shop. 10 Thermëa by Nordik Spa-Nature thermea.ca A jewel in Winnipeg's luxury-spa crown, Thermëa brings a bit of Scandinavia to the heart of Canada. Let the stress soak out of you in thermal pools situated amongst the oaks and pines, indulge your senses in Finnish saunas, or treat yourself to the best in body treatments and massage therapy. Finish your day with some exquisite wining and dining (or charcuterie and craft cocktails) in your robe because hey, you're worth it.
