The world's most comprehensive Arctic species
exhibit, Journey to Churchill astounds audiences
with its polar bears that playfully swim right
overhead in the Sea Ice Passage. The vast 10-acre
exhibit features an incredible array of Northern
species, while more than 200 other animals are
represented throughout the zoo, including snow
leopards and Amur tigers. The zookeepers and
scientists are famous here too, having starred in
CBC Television's Arctic Vets. In Assiniboine Park, be

Leaf, a gorgeous 30-acre horticultural exhibit.

The Forks theforks.com
Winnipeg's most-visited tourist attraction has it
all! The whole area is brimming with attractions,
shopping, dining, green space and history. On the
grounds you'll encounter the Canadian Museum
for Human Rights, the Children's Museum and
Manitoba Theatre for Young People. Take a
stroll along the tree-lined paths, take a ride on
a novelty bike, have a little fun at the Fort Parka
playground, and marvel at the plentiful public art
including an inspiring new Indigenous-led area
called Niizhoziibean. After all that, enjoy some
outstanding food and drink options within The
Forks Market. In summer, head to the harbour for
river boat cruises and see locals shred on the Tony
Hawk-approved skate plaza. In winter, rent skates
and head out onto the Centennial River Trail where
upwards of 10 km of groomed skating trails await
and warming huts created by some of the world's
best architects and designers dot the trail.

Hermetic Code Tour
at the Manitoba
Legislative Building

tour/hermetic-code-tours-of-
mb-legislative-building/
Get this: our stately neoclassical Legislative
Building is actually a temple to hermetic
knowledge. For more than a century no one could
decipher the meaning of all the hieroglyphics,
numerological codes and imagery found
throughout the building until Dr. Frank Albo brought
it all to light in his book The Hermetic Code. Albo
and the team at Heartland International Travel &
Tours now lead tours of the building that will blow
your mind, unveiling its grand interior and façade
to be a modern ode to Solomon's Temple on this
evening of intrigue that is celebrated by all who
have seen its secrets revealed.

Manitoba Museum

How many places do you know that can take you
from the huge aquatic lizards of the cretaceous
period, across the cosmos through space and
time, to the bison-laden prairie plains all under
one roof? If your answer is none, then you haven't
been to the Manitoba Museum. The galleries will
enthrall kids and adults alike, whether you are
catching a Planetarium show, admiring the port of
its signature Nonsuch Gallery or viewing some of
Canada's most important historical artifacts. With
over $20 million in recent upgrades, the Manitoba
Museum continues to enchant.
