The magic of the north in the heart of the continent Assiniboine Park Zoo's Journey to Churchill has won a number of international awards, and now it is a designated Canadian Signature Experience. Private tours of this 10-acre exhibit will have your group going deep into the heart of the Arctic, without having to leave Winnipeg, getting nearly nose-to-nose with up to nine playful polar bears who will be swimming overhead as you look on from the massive Sea Ice Passage viewing tunnel. You'll also get an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the laboratories of the Leatherdale International Polar Bear Conservation Centre – the only facility of its kind in Canada. You'll learn about the importance of polar bear research and how the work being done in zoos around the world are impacting wildlife conservation and environmental protection. assiniboinepark.ca/zoo • 1.877.927.6006 or 204.927.6070 Have a bird Located in one of North America's best bird-viewing areas, Oak Hammock Marsh is a birder's paradise alive with the sights and sounds of the countless species that call this 36 sq. km wetland home. The Bird in the Hand Canadian Signature Experience will literally have your group feeling tiny feathers flutter in the palm of their hand as they release newly banded birds into the wild. From there, they'll head into the wetlands where the dip of oars into water from their Voyageur canoe will only be interrupted by the smell of blooming wildflowers and close encounters with colourful birds perched atop cattails. oakhammockmarsh.ca • 204.467.3300 Total relaxation under an open sky Steamy Nordic baths, Scandinavian saunas, luxurious steam rooms, and tranquil relaxation areas await your group at Thermëa by Nordik Spa-Nature, Winnipeg's open-air oasis.
