Reviews of Fort Gibraltar (Tourist Attraction)

AL

There are costumed people who tour you around. The only thing would be the distance from the parking lot to the facilities.

Daniel G

Festival always a great time!

Brent Brentnall

A look into the life in the early days of settlement in the area.

Good to see

Michael Farris

Distinguish between the events at the old Fort structure and the Fort Gibraltar park surrounding. Things like weddings, parties and festivals are great in the old buildings. The venue is perfect for a private event. But on its own there is not much more than the stockade and the main house. Cool place for kids to visit and play around but not too much more in the way of history. For that drive up the road to Lower Fort Garry. Much superior. The pluses to the surrounding old Fort area are the playing fields and the winter slides. Good (free) parking +++

Darren Klassen

Only been here for weddings and its a great wedding location and I am sure its great for all those other things that happen here too. Friendly and helpful staff on site also.

Rolly Gagné

What a great historical location

yasai

It was cold but fun

sarah Nicole

Great historical site, best time to visit is during Festival du Voyager, in my opinion. The fort has period actors, snow sculptures, and many other activities to take in throughout the festival.

Jennifer Jennifer

Excellent clean facility. Well preserved...the garden is wonderful...the size of a cabin...

Marina Havard (Marishinka)

Nice place for a wedding. Attended a lovely wedding the food wasn’t amazing. It was fine. The location is lovely and had a bonfire. The kids all played and had fun. They need to fix their washrooms. Most doors didn’t close and many toilets out of order.

Mark

Festival was nice. The pie was a little cheapo though...

Only get to come a few times a year for Festivale and for Poutine Cup, but a staple tourist destination in Winnipeg.

Fort Gibraltar is a great experience for people of all ages. During the summer you can see a fully interpreted fur trade era fort. It is an amazing venue for a wedding and the food for special events is amazing. Overall it is one of the nicest places to visit in Winnipeg. A definite must see for tourists to Winnipeg. It is also home to Festival du Voyageur. :)

Trevor

It's a nice little fort to go see... for free. Otherwise, go to Lower Fort Garry. Same idea, but way better.

Great interpretative centre and an interesting history of the fur trade. Well worth visiting and also strolling through the park.

Jennifer Miller Gehman

A wonderful little museum showcasing the North West Company fur trade. The staff are knowledgeable and dressed authentically. My kids love seeing the blacksmith, hiding in jail, and marching along the top of the fort wall.

Aiden McLean

Really cool

The location is very beautiful and well maintained. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Would go to more events here.

Fort Gibraltar is a very unique venue: a replica of the Northwest Company's fort during the fur trade era in Manitoba, juxtaposed with the modern buildings of downtown Winnipeg. It was the perfect venue for our winter wedding. When the temperatures dropped to -30C, typical of January in Winnipeg, we were warm and cozy celebrating in the Maison du Bourgeois next to the blazing fire in the beautiful stone fireplace, with furs and snowshoes hanging on the walls, and candles, pinecones and cedar boughs adorning the tables and fireplace mantle. Not only is the venue beautiful, but the food is AMAZING! We had a small (60 person) guest list of our closest friends and family and we chose to do the family-style dinner. The servers were dressed in period costumes and brought out an abundance of rich and delicious food in three courses followed by a dessert buffet. I overhead one of our guests call the Yukon Gold mashed potatoes 'potato nirvana'! We had so many of our guests come up and tell us they were pleasantly stuffed and that all of the food was delicious! The serving staff were on-the-ball with serving and clearing each course, and were very accommodating to our guests' needs. Our wedding day went off without a hitch, and we have Angie, Connie, and the kitchen and event staff to thank for making our day so special! Fort Gibraltar was a fantastic place to have our cozy winter wedding and we will be recommending them highly to other engaged couples for their weddings, as well as businesses looking to host parties in the future! Definitely go check them out!

It was very nice and clean and you will really feel the rustic vibe, the only con is the parking and the walk is too far for winter.

Festival Voyager February 15 - 24, 2019 February 17, 2019 ~ Hé Ho 50 years anniversary of Festival Voyager I wanted to do something different by spending the day exploring the sites & history of the Voyagers came to Winnipeg to settle. In the past I have attended at night & enjoyed the entertainment with friends. We sang & danced in the warm shelter. Remember during the day bring the entire family enjoy entertainment & history of the past. Come hungry as there is a great selection of food to choose from. Each venue has food, drinks, adult drinks, entertainment & crafts for the children during the day for everyone to enjoy. Take a walk down the path to take part in dog sledding. It did look like a lot of fun. The sculptures are simply amazing to say the least! From a block of snow to beauty in front of you. The artists use different tools, shovels & ladders. Can you imagine playing in the snow when you were small child to become a creator of sculptures for everyone to enjoy today. I thank you for being the person you are today. The volunteers wore costumes of 1700’s, perform sewing to carving a paddle. The gentleman I spoke with has handcrafted wooden paddles for some of the Chemo Savy ladies for them to paint & use Dragon Boat Festivals. He showed me the different paddles, the purpose of the each paddles & who these paddles. There was a trading post, blacksmith, wood working and many more venues to enjoy. You must stop at the chocolatiers what looks like something craved out of wood or clay ended being chocolate!! It looked even more delightful with chocolate. Never ending talent. What goes with snow but snowshoes stop by to try out a pair & enjoy your walk in the snow. What caught my eye was ice climbing on the way to Fort Gibraltar. Last time I saw ice climbing was on my trip out west at Lake Louise. But these climbers were climbing a frozen water fall. What is that noise, was someone taking down a tree??? No, it was guys with chain saws craving a bear head, a eagle out of wood. They had quite a nice display of their creations. Never worry about running out cash there are interact stations throughout the Grounds. Please take a few hours out of your day or evening to enjoy the festival. Form of payment made easy cash, debit or credit card & tap.

Chris Karasewich

Festival Du Voyageur is the best winter festival in Canada.

Katherine McLaren

Festival is always amazing

Collin Stevenson

Super fun French tour. You shouldn't think that is the only option. You should go!

Ray Smith

Attended the Festival Du Voyageur and walked through mud and ice. Most venues were open but packed. There were line ups for food and drinks that were over priced. The best part was the store with the pelts.

Albert Riezebos

Great place for history! Blacksmith shop is awesome! Festival du Voyageur!! Great venue to celebrate my French-Canadian/Acadian heritage. The gun battle between the French and English is awesome too. Love the ice sculptures and the addition of the wood carvers is great!

Ron Roy

If your looking for an event or wedding venue in Winnipeg, Fort Gibraltar has to be at the top of your list. The unique atmosphere and delicious food will have your guests talking about your event for years to come.

Crystal Strelczik

Lovely park

Brad Zimmerman

Very good. Great people.

Robert Laferrière

Had a great time here for a conference this summer. Excellent space, and great food services. I've visited here plenty of times during the Winter for Festival du Voyageur, but this was the first time I was there during the summer. The entire area within the Fort walls can be licenced for liquor if you're hosting a function like a wedding, conference, social, etc. Check it out for sure!

Pierre Manaigre

The food here was so good. This was our second wedding here, it is a very nice venue.

audrey meisner

The dinner last night was UNBELIEVABLY FANTASTIC!! Wow - we are all still talking about the food, and we are pretty picky! We has our rehearsal dinner upstairs directly after the wedding rehearsal. It was exceptional. We chose "family style" and there was so much food and it was hot, and it was HIGH QUALITY food. There was so much food and so much variety - all four courses - We had the Caesar Salad - it was top-notch - five-star - bison meatballs and mashed potatoes - the roasted root vegetables had a unique spice - AMAZING - (as I say we are PICKY) and then turkey with cranberries, perogies and huge cabbage rolls (with plenty of meat in them) All I can say - is the food was so good, it made a lasting memory. I couldn't recommend this place more. Oh, and the service was amazing too! Thank you to the staff - we appreciate you!!

Jessica Holt

such a great historic place and so pretty any time of year

Ian Navarro

Connie is super friendly. Accommodated our last minute wedding photoshoot, also helped us a great deal while we were doing the shoot. The place is beautiful, but more importantly the staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Kelly Evans

Beautiful venue! Great food & service too

Patrick Laferriere

I go here every February for some reason. It's incredibly cold but I still go. But it's the est sugar shack in town. It has the only authentic sugar shack in town. Only 5 days in February though. They are also the best place for drinking fortified wine named after a wannabe moose out of an ice shot glass to boot. Well I'm not sure what else to say about the place. It's pretty gosh darn amazing though. But like I said, only like 5 days in February.

dave choquette

Its French so it's cool.

Great for catered events. Food is delicious! Great ambiance.

It was beautiful to see the Fort open again, it is a beautiful venue and also wonderful place to take some photos, great for weddings or banquets when not fully booked and includes the festival du voyager in February, take a peek when it is open and you will find it interesting taking a step back into the past.

Amazing place to learn about the Voyageurs during Festival du Voyageur

mike green

Poutine Cup was madness. First time for me. Now it's an annual calendar event.

Cibelle Cosenza

Interesting place to check the reality back to the ages. They play the manners and the 'village' back there. Perfect for weekends with a good weather.

Mike Jar (mikrom)

Pretty awesome historic venue for a wedding. Unexpected axe throwing made my night other than the awesome company. Food was exquisite. Good service

Mai Yun La

Fun interactive tours, historically educational, various fur materials you can touch, lots of knick knacks to see, some time outside and inside various old cabins, nice view from the top of the wall. Friendly staff and volunteers, also has a water bottle refill station. You can see a real fire kiln and smithwork, real furs, various antique tools and wooden canoe materials. Main downfall is not being handicap accessible.

Barbara Meyers

Very informative

Hillary Rosentreter

Festival events at Fort Gibraltar are always a blast!

Tommy Gabriel

Last time I went there was a wedding Hope it lasts

Davey's Dash

I haven't actually went in for the tour, it is a very small fort, but at the same time, I ride past it very frequently and kick myself for not taking the time. It looks to be era correct, and I like that.

Pablo Listingart

Cool small place. Nice to spend some time with your kids. Employees do role playing telling their stories about their jobs at the Fort

W4RD1N8ER

At festival du voyager I visited the fort and talked to some interesting people working there learned about the trading and the Hudson's Bay Company.

Cintia Costa

Great place to learn about history! The staff is wonderful!

Wes Beach

My son and daughter in law where married here. Great venue.

Ruslan Yanyshyn

Good place to go with kids

Bill Coe

A little slice of fur trader history. The Fort is a great venue for weddings, reunions or business meetings. A variety of rooms means they can cater to numerous sizes of groups without being cramped or, conversely, overwhelmed by the size of the room.

Loic Bazin

Awesome place, full of history.

Christian Clavelle

(Translated) Amazing come to the Voyageur Festival. Heho! (Original) Amazing venu to the Festival du Voyageur. Hého!

Richard Bobrowski

Here for a wedding. Great venue!

Kevin Gordon

We went for Festival du Voyager. Fort Gibraltar is a beautiful outdoor park. Parking at the fort for large event is limited so plan accordingly.

Stephen “TheSecretAgentSteve” Freeze

I've been here so many times over the years, either as part of Festival du Voyageur or for the regular historical tours as part of school and it was always great for those! Recently I attended a wedding and I must say it was FANTASTIC! The ceremony took place outside at the north end of the fort, which had plenty of room and made use of the gorgeous raw timber doors on that side to create a fantastic reveal of the bride and her father! Between the ceremony and dinner we had the opportunity to check out some axe throwing which was a really great way to breakup the hum drum of your typical wedding cocktail hour. From what I was told the venue took care of most of the onsite details, the drinks, the food, the decorations, etc. It was all so beautiful! Dinner was excellent, courses served quickly and they were all excellent, the staff made sure that our glasses were full through the whole meal! If we didn't already have our venue and date chosen Fort Gibraltar would absolutely be first on our list!

Geoffrey

Very nice venue. Very historical. Some construction on city streets made it a little harder to get to. Very nice place to have a wedding.

Sergey Pochikovskiy

This is a place to see if you happen to be in Winnipeg during the Festival du Voyageur

Fantastic tourist attraction

Jennifer Attwood

We had our wedding here in May and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Angie was fantastic - always got back to us super quickly and so friendly. She was onsite for the ceremony and made sure everything ran smoothly. Connie did the decor for us and it looked perfect! She had some great ideas and made everything super easy. The food was amazing, we did the family style dinner and we had so many compliments from our guests that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. (We'd been to a couple weddings here before our own and the food is always delicious!) Choosing Fort Gibraltar for our wedding was the best decision we could have made!

Julia Florek

My husband come here annually for Festivaledu Voyageur. It's great! They stage a battle every year right in the Fort in full costume, including muskets!

Jon Dunne

How many people can say they got married in a rustic fort, full of history? This venue is nothing short of amazing. The food was plentful and full delicious flavours. Everything was clean and well thought out. Angie, Connie and their crew were amazing!!! We are very thankful that we went with Fort Gibraltar as our wedding venue. The only thing I wish is that we could go back just to do it all over again!!! We loved it!!!

Glen Kovachik

Great wedding, great venue.

Nancy James

We had our son and new daughter-in-laws- wedding at Fort Gibralter in July and everything was perfect! The venue is amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better day!

Mickey Marshall

A great place for a wedding, particularly enjoyed the axe throwing before the event

Angie Coe

Great experience, food and people!

Yve coe

I had my wedding at Fort Gibraltar and have to say that not only did the manager and decor coordinator make every step enjoyable and fun, they were also knowledgeable and were able to help me consider possibilities of which I would not have otherwise thought. I could not have asked for a more perfect day with decor looking amazing and everyone raving about how amazing the food was. I would highly recommend this venue as it is full of great atmosphere, helpful people, amazing staff and unbelievable food.

I am a Marriage Commissioner and have had the pleasure of officiating many ceremonies at Fort Gibraltar. It is a unique venue in the heart of Winnipeg: where else can you be married within giant timber walls, participate in ax-throwing, be saluted by a musket party, and all within minutes of downtown? The staff at Fort Gibraltar is efficient and offers a wealth of knowledge in all matters wedding-related. Fort Gibraltar offers a variety of options for ceremony spaces. The grounds in front of the porch can accommodate 250 people for an outside ceremony...and the entrance through the gates is grand, indeed! The Great Hall, with its massive stone fireplace , is also an excellent ceremony space, and the Partners Room (upstairs loft area) is perfect for more intimate weddings. Fort Gibraltar can accommodate 140 people for a sit down meal (180 for a cocktail reception) in the Great Hall, and 48 people (60 for a cocktail reception) in the Partners Room. I have also had the pleasure to attend a wedding at Fort Gibraltar as a guest. The food was delicious and the serving staff, attentive. Ample parking is available, as well.

Nick Pizza

Really nice venue for events, including food tastings and weddings. It is outdoors so make sure you dress appropriately. The main cabin in the middle is oddly spacious and beautiful inside

Sofia Abramovich

Nice place to visit with kids

Lauri Scott

It was a beautiful place for a funeral that was being held there..And a lovely evening..

Taras Cozac

Really amazing old building. We were there attending festival du Voyageur . What an experience. Fun times had by all

Lynn Dobbins

Very enjoyable time. The guides are fantastic

Janett Swaby

This place is full of history especially during the Fur trade era. The way the people of that time lived and worked to make ends meet. I learned a lot from this visit and would like to tell everyone that this experience is worthwhile taking. The interpreters, who are very knowledgeable of the history of the times, will walk you through an exciting journey. There is much to see, you will love it!

Kris Grant

My beautiful new wife and I had the privilege of getting married at the Fort on August 30th, 2013. Connie (the décor coordinator) and Angie (the food and drinks coordinator) will not only help you bring your vision to reality throughout your planning experience, but in the process will become your friends. I cannot stress how great of an experience it was working with them and how amazing and stress-free they made our special day. The food was simply incredible.....With even the hardest to please foodies in the group absolutely loving everything. I strongly suggest using the food station option as an alternative to the regular sit-down arranged table concept. Our dinner included 4 stations, including a chef-manned pad thai station, a chef-manned beef carving station, a deluxe poutine station with pulled pork and a Mediterranean station (all of which were fun and delightful). With 130 guests, wait times were very short and we are still hearing rave reviews about the food. The décor was also far nicer than we had ever imagined creating a perfect environment for celebration. To our surprise, several guests had even excitedly told us that this was the "Best Wedding they Had Ever Been To", a well-deserved complement to everyone at Fort Gibraltar for everything they had done in preparation for our big day. I would suggest Fort Gibraltar as a wedding/event venue to anyone who enjoys flawless service, high-quality food and expert décor advice. Thanks so much ladies for taking Randi’s dream wedding and making it a reality.....for that we will be forever grateful!

Sheera Lumahang

We had our wedding at Fort Gibraltar and we just loved it so much! The venue is beautiful with so many options for photos. Connie was super nice, informative and helped us out whenever we needed it. Had we known that we were going to have a small wedding (Covid restrictions aside) we probably would have booked at Fort Gibraltar in the first place! My now husband and I have always loved going to Fort Gibraltar for events like poutine cup, beer fest and such. Once things go back to "normal" we definitely can't wait to go back there.

Christina Norris

Very nice! Neet venue!! Excellent food!

Justin Piotrowski

It was ok typical festival rather disappointing considering it was there 50th year nothing really has changed

Ken

The participants at the fort really enjoy their roles and provide visitors with a good glimpse of the past.

shane neustaeter

One of my absolute favorite venues for the 7 years, this fort has it all! History, functionality, beauty, great food and amazing service! Excellent for weddings and private or public events. I have have had the pleasure of performing here for many events for almost 7 years and i always look forward to my next vist.

Lisa Morris

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception here recently and I would highly recommend it to anyone! The food was fabulous, people were raving to us about it all night (and still are)! The staff were all very professional and friendly. Connie and Angie were fabulous as well, and took care of so many small details! They even brought up an umbrella for me as it was drizzling during our outdoor ceremony. The venue is just beautiful and has so much history and charm.

Gloria Lynch

Beautiful....rustic venue

Dit Zied Irrigation

Festival du Boyageur really made this old fort come alive.

Went for Festivale du Voyageur. Had a great day. It isn't big and not a lot of vendors but the Brewmaster's lunch was amazing and the historical parts were well managed. There is a wide variety of music and plenty of beer available, hot drinks too.

The reconstructed buildings are picture-worthy, a reimagining of life in Winnipeg in the 1800s. The place is conveniently located across the river from downtown Winnipeg, in a vibrant neighborhood full of beautiful houses.

Mindy Reimer

Great field trip with the kids. Very knowledgeable staff working. Kids were kept entertained and engaged!!!

Carlton

Donations accepted at the door. Neat piece of history within the city. We lucked out when we went and saw a Metis musical performance.

Myles Barr

We were lucky enough to have our wedding at Fort Gibraltar at the end of July and we can't say enough about the venue. The food was incredible and many guests raved about it in the weeks that followed. Getting married on the picturesque porch area was an amazing experience for ourselves and for our friends and family that gathered together on the beautiful grounds area. The inside of Fort Gibraltar is stunning and all staff were extremely professional. We also were highly impressed with Angie who gave us great advice along the way and made the wedding planning process as well as the wedding itself smooth and stress free. Thanks again, would recommend a million times over.

Brent Bernas

Connie is really awesome! We had our wedding at Fort Gibraltar and everything was fantastic! Connie goes above & beyond with everything. The food was great… the decor was amazing and the staff awesome. Highly recommend

Alyssa Chiponski

Wonderful wedding venue

Bravo Charie

Bad

Pam Narynski

So cool to be attending a wedding inside a fort! The ceremony was held outside and the reception, inside. Axe throwing after the ceremony, was one of the fun things offered, as well as a bonfire and making S'mores later in the evening . The meal was great. All these parts made for a special event. The only downside is, although the main building does have a ramp for accessibility, the washrooms are in the basement.

Colleen Olafson

I am a Marriage Commissioner and often officiate at wedding ceremonies at Fort Gibraltar. The location of the Fort in Winnipeg is very central and easy to get to, and it can accommodate different sizes of weddings. In the summer months ceremonies are often held outdoors within the walls of the Fort and if the weather is nasty the ceremonies are moved inside. There is a very comfortable and intimate loft on the second floor which has access by elevator if needed, and the main floor of Fort Gibraltar has a rustic feel with a wonderful stone fireplace on a feature wall. The managing staff at Fort Gibraltar have been there for many years and are extremely personable and knowledgeable about weddings, and any other function that needs space and catering.

Ivo Kohans

Summer or warm time probably better to visit

Connor Heidebrecht

I had the privilege of being invited to 2 weekend weddings in a row at Fort Gibraltar this summer. I have gluten and dairy allergies that were expertly handled by Yve and Angie. They took great care of providing me with very tasty alternatives. Thank you so much!

Amazing and extremely accommodating staff (especially when it comes to extreme dietary restrictions, they've got you covered!)

Ed Schroder

Great living history museum.
