Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in Manitoba

"Experience outdoor adventure in every season; paddle, fish, hike, snowshoe, skate, cycle, or stroll through FortWhyte's 7km (4.3mi) of forest trails. Venture into the past at the pioneer sod house; step inside a plains teepee, and be transported through time to the early days of Manitoba. Encounter prairie wildlife like never before– come face-to-face with North America's largest urban herd of plains bison, yipping prairie dogs, and local species of freshwater fish at the Aquarium of the Prairies."

"It would be a shame to visit Manitoba and not experience the prairies and grasslands so prominent in the southern part of this province. At FortWhyte Alive families can see a wild herd of bison and a colony of prairie dogs inside Winnipeg’s 640 acres of protected urban green-space. Families can also walk or bike out to a tree house that overlooks a herd of bison, stopping to play at a tipi along the way."

"Nearly every major metropolis in the world had a botanical garden, but Winnipeg’s newest attraction, the Outdoor Gardens at the Leaf is the first and only garden in North America to tell Canadian cultural stories through the world of plants. PLus there is The Indigenous Peoples Garden that will be a gathering place that recognizes Canada’s strong Indigenous heritage."

"What is it: Another homerun from Enoteca’s Scott Bagshaw, Máquè sees the chef bringing Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese influences to his successful small plates concept. Why go: For unpretentious Asian-influenced small plates served in a slick, minimalist space. Start with an order of steamed buns, fluffy rolls with fillings like Nagano pork belly or smoked duck, before moving on to the rice and noodles and meat and seafood sections of the menu."

"This restaurant offers Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Korean dishes with a twist. Try their vegetable dishes or fill up on their meat and seafood dishes. They are currently offering pickup services, so give them a shout to order your next meal!"

"This contemporary English sports pub is the perfect locale to munch on pub fare with friends, play a game of darts or pool and watch the big game on one of many televisions. The downtown location is not only a popular spot to head to during NHL playoff season, but it also boasts one of the biggest and best rooftop patios in the city.

The craft and local beer on tap accompany a wide selection of inventive cocktails – some shareable – and a well-sourced wine list."
