THE CANADIAN MUSEUM FOR HUMAN RIGHTS www.museumforhumanrights.ca Designed by architect extraordinaire Antione Predock, Canada's newest, most eye-catching attraction dominates the Winnipeg skyline, shining like a beacon. Inside an immersive experience that you can't possibly shake awaits as 11 powerful, interactive and awe-inspiring exhibits gradually climb to the CMHR's pinnacle, the Tower of Hope (which provides a stunning view of the city). An ambitious museum meant to foster dialogue and promote change for a better world, the CMHR provides a stirring account of the human experience unlike anything you've ever witnessed. JOURNEY TO CHURCHILL AT ASSINIBOINE PARK ZOO www.assiniboineparkzoo.ca With the possible exception of seals, everybody loves polar bears — that's why they are the main attraction at the sensational new Journey to Churchill exhibit at Assiniboine Park Zoo. Watching these majestic mammals dive, swim, and frolic above you through the exhibit's glass dome will take your breath away, while the vast new terrain also features an incredible selection of animals, like muskox, wolves, moose, and seals. The zoo also features uber-rare animals, like red pandas and snow leopards, along with over 200 other species. THE FORKS NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE www.theforks.com | www.parkscanada.gc.ca/forks Saturated in 6,000 years of history, the meeting of the Red and Assiniboine rivers has always been a gathering place for peoples. Across 54 beautiful acres you'll find a bustling central market, exceptional dining and accommodations, vast tree- lined paths overlooking all the bends in the riverbank, a world-class skate park, a children's play area and water park, and all the best things a Winnipeg winter has to offer, like skate rentals and access to one of the world's longest skating rinks. It also bridges, via the sexy Esplanade Riel, the très-European St. Boniface — with its restaurants, cafés, artistic heir and francophone flavour — and the downtown core. 1. 2.
