Introduction

So you say Winnipeg is too cold. The better to keep your Slurpee from melting! For years the city, known for winters so long and harsh that it is sometimes affectionately called Winterpeg, has held the title of Slurpee Capital of the World. But if you’re not convinced that consuming the slushy drinks in frigid weather is a good time, you can find plenty of indoor diversions to make your trip worthwhile.

The Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Manitoba Opera and Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet are part of a flourishing arts scene. You’ll also find theater to suit all ages and interests. Learn about Manitoba’s history and people in the Manitoba Museum, and while you’re there, be sure to visit The Planetarium and The Science Gallery. And pick up a gold bar worth more than $200,000 at the Royal Canadian Mint.

Another plan is to visit in the summer, when you can take advantage of the lakes and the countless outdoor recreational activities available. Spend some time at The Forks, an ancient meeting site at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers. Here you can shop for crafts and ethnic foods at the The Forks Market and take a water bus tour of the rivers. View wildlife at Assiniboine Park’s zoo or the Fortwhyte Alive nature center. Or visit one of the city parks for hiking, boating and skating. And don’t forget to pick up a Slurpee afterward.
