Stuff to do in Winnipeg with a bunch of "foreigners"?


Travel Info
So I'm meeting my friend tomorrow who I haven't seen in a long time, she's never been to Winnipeg, and I've been unofficially appointed tour guide to this big group of people. I have NO CLUE where to take them! the forks? uh...that's where winnipegers go...but it's not all that exciting. What else is there to do? Where should we go to eat? Any suggestions would be great. (By the way...we have no intention of going to the bar...we're talking afternoon here)

Travel Tips
Osborne Village is a good place to spend an afternoon. After that you can check out the outdoor cafes on Corydon. There's a place that serves really good gelati.

Assiniboine Park is a great place to go. Check out the Leo Mol sculpture garden adjacent to Winnipeg's best flower garden IMHO.

If you'd like a nice drive, head North on Main Street towards Lockport. Look for the River Road turn. (the same turn off to get to the Larter's at St. Andrews). Stop at Captain Kennedy's and other historical sites along the way. If you have time, travel further North and tour Lower Fort Garry.

There's lots of great restaurants. The Fusion Grill. Bombolini's. One of my favs is Deen's Diner on Marion. Authentic Carribean cuisine. Try the Roti and Chick Pea doubles.

If you're still stuck for suggestions, check out where.ca/winnipeg. You'll find lots of things to do there.

The forks is always a safe bet. Check out the lower floor of the Johnston Terminal. I don't know if it's still there but they used to have racks and racks of old and antique household items. Really neat to see this stuff that used to be in "Mom's kitchen"

Also Uptown Magazine online is a great source for stuff to do in the 'Peg. Source(s): where.ca/winnipeg

Winnipeg isnt know for much
I would rent a winnebago and drive into Saskachtwen to Clearlakes camping grounds, pristine country for hikes swimming in the lakes, looking at Moose along the way, but make sure you lock the door at nite
Black bears tend to roam looking for foood
Yeah, I've been to Winnipeg. Kept driving to Ontario. I suggest you do the same. Your friends just might get eaten by the mosquitoes.
