Its ample grounds house stately gardens, including the famed Leo Mol Sculpture Garden, the formal English Garden, and the brand-new Gardens at The Leaf, which details the interconnectivity between people and plants. The Leaf itself, opening in Fall 2022, will provide 6,000 square meters to explore indoors, with features that include a butterfly garden, Canada's largest indoor waterfall, and four distinct biomes that showcase flora from around the world. The Park also has a number of culinary options for picnics, including the Park Café which sources ingredients from the Gardens at the Leaf. Assiniboine Park Zoo is home to the cast of CBC Television's hit show Arctic Vets, all of whom work as zookeepers and researchers at The Journey to Churchill, the world's foremost Arctic species exhibit. Here, spectacles like polar bears swimming overhead and close encounters with seals, snowy owls, arctic fox and muskox are common. The zoo is also home to Amur tigers, snow leopards, red pandas and numerous other species. assiniboinepark.ca | 204.927.6000 Francophone fun for the whole fam Saint-Boniface is the heart of Manitoba's French- speaking community and the Francophone capital of Western Canada.
