Assiniboine Park & Zoo
and The Leaf
This stunning urban park is Winnipeg's oldest, welcoming
visitors for more than 100 years. Bring little ones to its
whimsical Nature Playground or stroll through the tranquil
Leo Mol Sculpture Garden. Fuel up at Park Café or watch
a performance beneath the stars at Lyric Theatre. The
awardwinning Arctic species exhibit—Journey to Churchill
(also stars in CBC's Artic Vets tv series) at the zoo allows
visitors to not only view Arctic species, but also learn about
climate change. assiniboinepark.ca
Opened in December 2022, The Leaf is a $130-million-

unique indoor plant biomes, including a tropical biome,
Mediterranean biome, seasonal display house and butterfly
garden. There is also a destination restaurant Gather Craft
Kitchen & Bar, which features globally inspired modern
Prairie cuisine. It is complimented by Outdoor Gardens
