Reviews of Assiniboine Park (Zoo)

Scott Wachal

The zoo lights were amazing in March 2021!

Jessie Carroll

Excellent walking and enclosures, lovely views. Only thing that made my visit poor were the unmasked children standing on multiple fences.

Kia Slk

I don't like going to a zoo simply because I don't like to see animals in cages! Just visited this zoo for polar bears. It's a great place to see polar bears and get a taste of arctic wildlife.

Ayodele Odeyemi

Spend an hour or the entire day, there is lots to do. Cricket field, sculpture garden, duck pond, trails, adjacent zoo, the list goes on.

Diana Morrison

Great zoo, set up for one way pedestrian traffic, lots of places to picnic.

Jeremy Anderson

The Assiniboine park zoo is easily a whole-day experience. The exhibits and habitats are accessible and visible, yet spacious and animal-friendly. Parking is free. Volunteers are in good supply, and are friendly and well-informed. Buildings and bathrooms are clean and in excellent repair. There is a lot for both children and adults to see, and there are snack and souvenir shops at several locations. Peacocks freely roam the grounds, as do red ground squirrels. We also saw a ferret dash across the path carrying a field mouse. Of everyone I saw at the zoo, I think only that field mouse was displeased with the day.

John Henry Friesen

Took people to the park and zoo... they were very impressed.

Ermio O

Perfect zoo I ever seen the place to take you friends and family's and with a lot unique animals I never seen them before.

Irina Beck

THE biggest and best park in the city! Great for biking, walking, blading. Always alive with people. The bike trails on the South side of Corydon feel like you're in the country (not sure if they are officially part of the park).

Nick Berzenji

I love this park. Good for biking, walking, having picnics. Concerts and activities occur in the summer. There is a duck pond with nice seating areas to hang out. The pond doubles as a skating rink in the winter. Next to the pond area is a restaurant called the Park Cafe which is open mornings and afternoons. There is a play area for kids so the park is pretty family-friendly. There are many lots that you can rent the host family barbecues. Several sports fields are used to play soccer, Ultimate Frisbee, etc. There is also a Terry Fox Fitness trail which hosts a number of structures to do strength training and and general endurance. Each fitness area has printed instructions posted that outlines a number of workout activities. So you can come here for a run and get some strength training done as well. And there is a lovely plant/flower garden, statue garden, and the Assiniboine Zoo. Lots to do here!

Stephen Gilbert

First time I've been to a zoo where I got to see everything and the animals weren't hiding. Polar bears are stunning, fluterby pavilion was very relaxing.

James Gauthier

Zoolights event; I loved the feeling of being in a lit up park. The animations and all the decorations that was, the music tents, some dancing and food or beverages of varying choice. I didn't drink or eat the food, but it was a great experience. I arrived late close to 9pm and the music died down by 10, but the park remains open for awhile. There's warming fire pits managed by volunteers for those that get too chilled and need to warm up their hands. For $15 you could easily spend a couple of hours there and be entertained. I'd go again with more company

Ted Rennie

Spent a lovely morning at the zoo. This was my first visit to the “Journey to Churchill” exhibit. It was outstanding!

monjheTV

the outdoor garden place is very pretty, so much in one spot, lots of trees and shade so whatever time of the day you come you can have shade and not burn in the sun if you plan to stay/have a picnic

Kevin Senft

Lots to see! Was an enjoyable experience with the family and the dinosaur area was a great surprise!

Kaitlyn Einarson

Nice place for a change of pace.

April Borutski

Went with the family for the zoo lights. The show was amazing, definitely had enough showcases to keep the kids entertained during the walk. I would suggest more bathrooms especially for the amount of people and kids that attend.

Kelly-Lynne Reimer

Winter at the zoo is amazing! The animals are fiesty and playful. And the staff so educational

Elle Ash

It so amazing going to a park friendly environment that is truly different than your typical parks across Canada. What I encountered was a wide variety of household vegetables set out in such a manner that was warm, interesting and informative so you can produce in your home or garden. To add to this specular event was these impressive carvings as identified in the pictures.

Natali Geva

Nice Place,there are a lot of beautiful goose!

Shawn Hiebert

We had a great day. We went early so the animals were a little more active.

swirliness

Peacocks can be seen roaming all over, they pass by you casually and can be seen in other animals' areas, geese too. Lots of areas are temporarily closed or blocked off, don't worry as you can still access most areas by walking around the zoo. My yearly pass means I'll be here very often.

David Marr

Beautiful park. Nice to stroll, bike, have a picnic and enjoy the nature

Alexis Chacon

Had a good day at the zoo. Had lunch at the tundra restaurant. 2 people from my group had a poutine, neither of them liked it. They both said the gravy tasted like turkey gravy and was not good. I had a rice bowl, I would recommend it. All the vegetables were fresh and it tasted good.

John Matthews

One of the best zoos I've ever been to. A must see if you are in town.

K Christine

The staff and volunteers are always knowledgeable, friendly and kind. The zoo is well cared for and a lovely space for people of all ages.

Victor Jegede

Nice place.The kids love it!

Luke Thomas

Awesome! Loved the volunteers giving information. Had a great time. Very comparable to Calgary Zoo, i might like the layout here better.

Kamrul Chowdhury

In winter I love having food inside Tundra Grill and watching polar bears beside the window. Worth family time together in the zoo.

Elai Idpan

You gotta love a (mostly) free park in the middle of urbanization. I hope they keep improving it and we never lose it.

Andrew Warren

The park was great! The new area with the Manitoba plants and grasses was awesome

Reilly L. Coad

Have so many fond memories of going here when I was a kid! Haven't visited that much in the recent years but I've heard it's still a fun place to learn and make memories as a kid but also an adult

Renee Deslaunais

Fantastic zoo. We have been to several all over Canada, and I would say this place tops the list. The Polar bears are amazing. The animals are healthy and not stressed. Very impressed! Also the volunteers are fantastic at the zoo. They are extremely informative and kind.

Ramil Ibanez

As always Great to visit! Love all the trees and leaves change Fall colors ????????

Makena Roberts

A very nice zoo! I’ve gone here almost every year with my family in Winnipeg for a long time, and I’ve always enjoyed it. :)

JewelPillow

I love it here! So many animals! While there I was even able to touch stingrays! Signage isn't the best, you have to depend on the maps but otherwise, amazing zoo Easy to find food and ice cream as well! Yum! I love that u can eat next to the bear enclosure in one part

Nicole Wiebe

Beautiful place. Wish they had more space. Beautiful Animals ❤

Ben Jiménez

Without question, Journey to Churchill is the highlight of the new revamp Assiniboine park zoo. While the polar bear are its marquee attraction, the harbour seals in my humble opinion are the show steppers. They are wonderfully entertaining and engaging. The other stand out is the new wolf paddock.

Bill Epp

Great park with pretty flowers and sculptures etc. Place to relax and enjoy with families and friends.Had a good time with some visitors from Saskatchewan who equally liked the place.

Kerry Martinson

You have to love hanging withvthe Polar Bears. Plus two new cubs.Take the whole family its like going to Churchill. Just not as cold! Highly recommended and very Knowledgable volunteers.

Jeff Didham

Assiniboine Park Well they have made several big changes in Assiniboine Park. There is still a great deal of construction inide the park. Getting in and around the park is not as simple as it used to be. The East entrance via Wellington crescent is under major contruction. They have removed the entrance in north east corner of the park. The roads in the eastern part of the park have changed, some lead to parking lots and others have been removed. New foot paths have been created. A lot of new areas have been created to explore. There is poor signage and a great deal of on going construction It will be interesting to see once it is finished. Also we got to see a wild turkey wander around.

Isabelle Normandeau

The new Indigenous Peoples Gardens is spectacular...a beautifully set up area with gardens and areas to relax and explore!

Richard Costello

Great way to spend the day, but best to go early in the morning when it's cooler out. Otherwise the animals like to go hide and lay down.

Michelle Deschenes

Polar Bears were amazing, huge park lots to see!

MD RASHEDUZZAMAN RASHU

Lots of fun with polar bear, a short movie, white birds in summer and at winter light festival...

Len Pugh

Boo at the zoo is awesome this year. Great especially for kids.

Jaclyn McGill

We had an amazing time and can't wait to come and visit in the summer time!

Barbara Guzman

Great place to visit with family, tons of animals and most of the time they are awake and super friendly staff :)

Erik Van Veggel

Beautiful zoo to spend the whole day with the family at. Many amenities and lots of animals to observe...

John Doyle

Great place to hang out with family and friends

Leo Qian

It's got good variety of animals and well layed out. Got the kids hopping like kangaroos (which is a main attraction). The dinosaur exhibit is a bit fake, but a hit for toddlers.

Mirelly Lisboa

Incredible experience. I will never forget it!

Salman Almishari

It's okay, but not the greatest zoo. It's missing a lot of animals. Had fun though.

gedsee

Its nice but some of the area are close.

Josh Halliday

A wonderful place to take friends or family on a warm summer day!

Ethan Bickford

Amazing family outting. Price reflects the quality of the zoo and well worth it considering many hours can be spent roaming around. Brand new dinosaur exhibit shows a great alternative to Jurassic Park! Found it odd that the zoo closed at 5pm on a Saturday, though.

Garry Bhullar

The most beautiful place to be in Winnipeg in the winter!! Nice walks in the trees where you can be warm from the wind, cross country ski trails, and skating on the pond. No warm shelters as of right now (January 2021 etc) but a cafe with warm food and coffee. Definitely worth a trip with the family :) also right by the river with a skating path. Easy access.

Mmz Khan

Awesome location. ... great place to spend quality time with your friends and family. ..

Louie Doulias

Great playground for 5 -12 year olds by the duck pond and right next to the Pavilion. Some very unique playground hardware. My 3 year old granddaughter loved playing here.

KatAnne Monroy

This zoo was quite lovely. There is a nice variety of animals in decent spacious looking cages. There is a few places that are nice to have a little picnic with the family. And the staff at the zoo were all very nice and informative. All in all it was a very nice outing

Marina Havard (Marishinka)

Kids love it. Miss the sting Rey exhibit. Happy the zoo is open again. My kids are jealous of the fun park the goats play in. They wish the zoo would let kids try. Looking forward to the restaurant opening for meals.

Arif Kassum

An excellent animal care team

Michael Belanger

Boo at the zoo was good for the kids. As always the zoo was well maintained and put on a decent event

Sunny Singh

Excellent park! It has everything you need from a playground for kids to an peaceful evening outside on a bench with some delicious ice-cream. Its our favorite to go place in the city

Lin

The bears...yes there's more to the zoo than the bears...but hey.. the bears are so amazing to watch. The staff went out of their way to make sure I saw as many animals as possible in - 20 temperatures. Thank you..

Ray Lowe

Always a great experience, love seeing all the animals.

Jasper Alexander

Wonderful day at the zoo. Most of the animals were active on a brisk October day. Volunteers were quite helpful, and plenty of covid prevention practices were in place. 5/5, would attend again.

Mohammad Ziaei

One of the most beautiful places I've ever watched

joshua fudali

I've been here numerous times, but first time during the pandemic. I found it easier to do the park with all the arrows at least then you don't miss anything. I was slightly disappointed in the lack of animals there now. The seals water looks like it hasn't been taken care if in a very long time. Yes I understand movements and what not from the seals stirring up the stuff on the ground, but you could even look at the seals very nicely. The only time you saw them was when they came right up against the glass otherwise barely saw anything. Overall during covid its nice and definitely improved, also gives more reason for a picnic over sitting inside

Maureen Toussaint

Lots to look at and great way to do an outing with the family

Primrose Panesar

The best park in winnipeg. Other than the forks this is one of the best places to check out in winnipeg. There is a zoo or gardens or sculptures or flowers or trails or just green places to hang out. Bike walk jog whatever you like :-)

Ray Wong

Nice environment to walk around and check out a lot of different animals. Great place for family with young children.

Arin Wuraola

Nice zoo. Great place to bring kids..

Ashleigh

Went on a blistering hot day which allowed for a great experience as the volunteers were very eager and upbeat when helping and or approaching people. The Journey to Churchill was great as it led to the polar bears playing and relaxing in the water and giving us great views! The Kangaroo exhibit was great and I loved being able to be so close to them without having a fence or cage in the way (they make sure all guests are a specific distance away from the kangaroos for safety)!!!

Andrew Dobbie

Awesome zoo for families. Learned so much about polar bears, seals, cougars, and many other northern species. Outstanding polar bear and seal observatory with glass ceilings.

Lucky Chahal

The zoo is a pretty cool place but wish there was more to do here and see. Will probably come eventually considering winters are cold so I’m sure there’s limitations. Some clear paths and shaded sitting areas would be great.

Jona Baumung

The morality of zoos is another topic. However, the individuals running the park were very attentive and seemed to love their job. The animals generally look well taken care of.

Wendy Strewchuk

Wow, the lights and weather, everyone with the same holiday spirit made for a beautiful evening. WELL DONE

Richard Wieler

Wonderful zoo. Polar bears and ring seals are the highlight. The baby snow leapards were very cute too.

Henry Heide

Great place to take your family.

Bruce Isabel

A winter visit to Assiniboine Park Zoo is well worth the admission fee. My family and I loved the Churchill experience. Those animals don't mind the cold temperatures at all and the "crowd" was virtually nonexistent. If you plan on even just 3 visits in a year though then the zoo membership pays for itself. We went with the single visit price and I am regretting that decision as we will definitely be going again.

Mb he

Awesome place with some great spots for taking pictures even in winters.

Ailsa Chlöe

Not that great of a Zoo. Not enough animals to people ratio. Also, overpriced. Plus side is the bears were ok...

Emily CPY

It's not exactly world class, but it's a very nice zoo that does lots of conservation and research. They don't do much in the way of exotic animal (besides the dinosaurs of course). The Journey to Churchill exhibit is pretty neat.

Ibiwangi Atabor

It was an awesome experience! I will do it again and again!! Well-laid-out pathways, volunteers willing to give help and knowledge at every turn, maps, the beauty of the outdoors and the sense that all the animals are being well taken care of.

Corinne R

We have become members and find it’s a great place to walk while enjoying our animals

Debrah Dyck

Fun afternoon at the park, and found these beauties ????

Ashley H

Large skating rink and nice toboggan, You'll love how big this park is.

Jason Geldart

Got stung three times, the wife onse and wouldn't leave the grandchild alone. Every garbage can was full and attracting them. Not one trap to be seen. Only a few animals to see. Waist of $45 dollars.

Quinton Gowler

Our favorite park in Winnipeg! Just a lovely, green place to hang out on a nice, warm, sunny day. :) The zoo is right there, lots of pleasant walking trails, really cool children's outdoor play center and cricket fields are the cherry on top!

Cameron Dyck

The zoo gets better everytime I visit! Kudos to the staff and management!!

Graham McMillan

The only fun during Covid and in general for kids. Love getting a coffee and hot chocolate as kids sled. Wish the warming fire place area was open for skates to be put on and off.

manisha sharma

Love this place so much. My son love to go there. Because he is animal lover .

Savario Wohlgemuth

A beautiful park with many walking trails. You can see wildlife as well!

Jeff Plotnikoff

I love assinaboine park, there is so much space and pockets you can find if you don't want to be around others. There are places to get drinks and snacks and just look at the ducks. I love the gardens and that you can wall across the bridge to get ice cream. Great date/friend hang out place

Gerard haggett

Love the zoo and this light show they had on was alot of needed fun

Melissa Hollingshead

Closes early and they don't seem to have a schedule saying who is fed when. The walkways are decently marked so that you can socially distance, however there is no where to smoke so be prepared for that upon entry. It was very clean especially the bathrooms.

Kyra Schlichting

Great outing with the family. Days when it's around 10 celsius all the animals are out and active. Fun for everyone

JinyYoony Channel

Very nice park with a variety of gardens. Lots of places to walk and see flowers and other vegetation.

heyitsjaddle !

Beautiful place to visit, the animals seem mostly happy. I got an annual pass this year and I highly suggest it, makes the experience less exhausting and more enjoyable, and definitely worth the extra money. Some staff enforce covid rules and some don’t, one volunteer got upset that we “came from the wrong way” and made sure we went right when entering Toucan Ridge but then let the group behind us go left. The random barricades on certain paths make it confusing. Overall I love the Zoo and hope to go many times this summer

Mohamed Ramadan

Nice place for all family members!

robpaprox

It was fun on Canada Day 2018 with family and friends who just arrived Canada. The green grass & trees coupled with the presence of people from various parts of the world (Multiculturalism) was very amazing to everyone. The young kids were so excited playing. Great place.

Garry Reimer

The kids loved it here and that's really why we go????

Jake Marks

Great park, with tons of options. Zoo, gardens, awesome park for kids, flower gardens, duck ponds etc. There are fields to play sports in, picnic or have a family BBQ. The soccer fields are well maintained.

Quasi Messedup

A nice afternoon for the family. The food at the tundra grill was very good.

Mr. Joseph James Donovan Fraser

Public washrooms are now closed up very early. Overly aggressive security patrolling, will drive up to your car with high beams on if parked to long.

ISpy WithMyLilEye

Loved the Zoo Light's Festival!!! First time I attended and it was magical. Well done!

jaino c mAthew

Not that much interesting than expected. But its construction is good.

Sunil Shrivastava

Absolutely a fantastic place to visit with family, friends or even alone. They have animals from around the world and they have volunteers to guide you on your trip. The polar bears are the best thing to watch and the seals are amazing. Had a great day at this place. Don't miss the amphitheatre as the short movie is incredible.

Haleys comet

SO MUCH FUN!! omg expensive however the addition of the sting ray exhibit where you can touch and feed them is amazing, had a blast with the kids :)

Roxie Pompana

Grew up in Manitoba and came here lots growing up, when we had kids they came. Everything about this place is amazing and can’t wait to come again.

Clayton Drysdale

Excellent park, beautiful gardens, nice duck pond with fountains. Large Lyric Stage, excellent zoo, vast playgrounds, large open fields for sports, some indoor washrooms available, some food vendors available, beautiful Pavillion with Art galleries available during business hours.

Neil Neil

We love visiting the zoo. However, I will wait until pre-Covid sanity returns before going back. The manner in which movement of people has been manipulated and directed like cattle heading for a plunge dip, does nothing for spacing out or keeping people apart. In fact , it has the exact opposite effect. Remove the barriers and allow people to walk freely again. Typically on a hot day, there's very little animal movement, other than the polar bears.(Which is great, that's why we go to the zoo, to see the polar bears) The Tundra Grill has a limited bland "chicken wrap" menu and in spite of suggesting at the entry that fully vaccinated people are allowed to sit together, there's nowhere to sit inside. Furthermore, there's no crowd control in the bear viewing enclosure, and in spite of a large sign asking people to continue moving through the tunnel, NOBODY adhered to it. You need to have somebody inside assisting those who cannot read....

Maria Mistfire

the most beautiful gardens. often have construction making parking difficult

Scott Kilborn

Even though we are in middle of winter, the park was live with all kinds of people walking arround the trails. The weather had lot to do with it because it was only -3c and Sun was shining. It was refreshing to see kids skating at the duck pond and tobogganing down the snow hill. People did kept up with the distancing which was good see.

Mil

I haven't been to the Winnipeg zoo in years and all I have to say is... Wow. The improvements to the facility have exceeded my expectations. The polar bear and dinosaur exhibits are definitely a must see/experience if you haven't done so already. To add to the great exhibits and displays were helpful and friendly volunteers, the clean renovated bathrooms (and park overall, really), and bottle refill stations were scattered throughout to keep the visitors hydrated. We also had the privilege to speak to a zookeeper while she was feeding one of the critters and she was very friendly and informative while answer our questions. The only *mild* complaint (and I do mean mild) was the wait and disorganization at the food stands. There were some mix ups but they were corrected quickly. Highly recommended for a day of fun with loved ones.

Jayehem's CUBE

Great but place for hangout. Its seems like you are in heaven, If you like natural and animals then this is the place you must visit in Winnipeg. Great for family and friends picnics, play games, cycling and many more....

Logan Painter (Logan's LYRICS)

Great place for a walk, bike or picnic during the summer months. Lively atmosphere and friendly people.

Mary Davidson

Had a business function at the Northern Experience Space. What a great way to view the Polar Bears in their aquatic habitat. I was standing right under one and was struck by the sheer size of the beast! They roiled around their pool freely. The Inuit art work and picture stories too are educational . We had a catered dinner party here and the food and beverages were outstanding. The park in general has had many up grades over the years. It’s an all season destination. It’s with a visit.

josh

Today we had a very leisurely time in the park; the sun was warm and the fall display of flowers was terrific, spent a good three hours there.

Avi I

It is a nice zoo. I prefer going during colder weathers and in the winter as this is when you get to see more animals. They have ample free parking on site. It is a large zoo, so bring comfortable footwear, water and snacks.

Philippe Alves

I am never impressed by zoos in general. But this one had a particular impact on me, especially the artic section with the polar bears, the seals and the wolves. Plus I enjoyed sitting among the birds and watch them fly around, singing (loud!). A great place to go.

J K

The zoo has changed a lot since the 90s when I was a kid. Many of the enclosures made up of bars have been demolished to make way for the updated enclosures, such as the one for the polar bears. Some of the old attractions are still there, like the tropical house, which is nice during the middle of winter. The zoo actually possesses a substantial collection of animals, even if Winnipeg isn't the largest or most visited city in Canada. I think a trip to the zoo is well worth it, especially if you are in Winnipeg for the first time.

Steve Fierce

Boo at the Zoo was fun this year. The mist in the air Oct/10 added to the atmosphere. Good entertainment for the evening.

Walter Favell

Festival of lights very beautiful! I wanna keep going back Went on a perfect night No windy at all only -17 Great night for lights & family fun! Thank you Assiniboine Zoo & park and the people who helped put on the festivities thank you very much!

Юра Голубев

Talk about an awesome winter wonderland! It is worth the admission however, I do think that charging the same for children and adults might make it tough for some families to attend. Maybe a 10 and under rate? The night we went was pleasantly warm for this time of year so it was spectacular to walk through the lights and activities. Young children were amazed. Lots of volunteers around which made it very easy to get directions or get someone to take photos. Great to have a close encounter with the heavy horses and see the snow leopards who were quite active when we were there. Kudos to APC for trying this new adventure!

Haresh Chaudhary

It is one of the best places in Winnipeg to spend some time. Polar bear and Hudson seal are the main attraction for the people. It is children's place and children can love and enjoy everything in and around and the presence of various animal and birds.

Liz Bradshaw (pezliz)

What a beautiful zoo to visit! Very educational, lots of fun for everyone in the family.

Fearocious Fearocious

An enjoyable experience, relaxing, entertaining and educational.

Glenn Allen

A lovely walk with family. Going to be an even better area to visit once the new Diversity Gardens is finished in Assinniboine Park.

Mike Deveau

Not as good as I remember but the polar bears and seals were cool.

JL Spinks

Great day .nice exhibits. well done! Was there 1 0 years ago the improvements are amazing! My one suggestion would be to have local makers sell their zoo themed work. It's a shame that so many items are made in China..

Paige

We like going to Assiniboine Park. However, if you are planning an evening out at the Summer Concert Series with you family (mainly kids) make sure to do your homework. This year the Concert Series are sponsored by Casinos of Winnipeg. So to our disappointment the other day they had a group of Drag Queens performing at the Lyric Theatre. Casino, Club, indoor theatre absolutely! Public park, were there are families and kids is just not appropriate venue!

Amede Thompson

Took my son here for his birthday ????????

Oluwafunke Dada

Winnipeg has amazing parks all over the city. Assiniboine Park is our best. So many great mini parks throughout, cricket, mini train, garden, duck pond, and the zoo next door. They are all beautiful on their own. If any one place shows off Winnipeg, its this park. Enjoy!

Kipkoech Choge

Great place to visit. Lots of animals to see but the polar bears steal the show.

Grant S

Was truly amazing to see the gateway to the Arctic, underwater viewing tunnels.

Narender rakhra

If you are in Winnipeg and you haven't been to this place, you are missing something. It's a very interactive place with knowledge about some very rare species of animals and birds, conservatories, and chance to see some really great moments. It has a really good soveneir shop and a restaurant with some really great people working for this place. You will love the experience.

Steve Freund

A lot of empty cages, which is too bad. On the good side, the cages that were full, gave us a great day out. I love the journey to Churchill!

Christine Boulton

Th Polar Bear exhibit is amazing and is the only reason I’m giving it 3 stars. Other then that, charging the same fee in off season as you do in peak is silly. All the extra stuff is closed for season, a lot of animals moved or not available. But don’t say that to the front office as the lady (I assume is a supervisor or manager as she was not in uniform) will scoff/laugh and say “that’s never gonna happen.” (Referring to off season pricing) I was actually surprised at that comeback. Maybe you have heard that a lot....so instead of being uppity in the future maybe just smile and nod and thank me for the suggestion if it irritates you that much. Given that I said it in a suggestive way and not demanding a refund,really didn’t justify that comeback. I also asked the same lady for a volunteers name that was so helpful so I could give her thumbs up here (she was the only interaction I had there that was pleasant). I said her name starts with a D and she has blonde hair. The lady laughed again at me and said they have over 300 volunteers and can’t keep track of them all. So I was there on a day where there couldn’t have been more then 20 people in the park with almost no paid employees anywhere and I only saw one volunteer. So forgive me, I don’t work there but I’m sure with my description she could have found out who I was talking about. No one else was around, it wasn’t busy and you have a customer that’s giving positive feedback. I would hate to see how you all deal with negative feedback! So overall if you want the full experience only go in the summer, which I was told to do.....cause you know I drive across Canada on a regular basis.???? If the same things are not available in the off season that are there during peak, how can you charge the same price? Even a small discount would be something. Just doesn’t make sense.

the WKND

The diversity gardens were fantastic. When they grow to the fullest. They will be fantastic. Leo Mol gardens are always great

Whitecloud Booyakasha

Great experience but beware of wasps! Seriously. There is major wasps at every garbage and recycling bin. It's actually problematic. My daughter was stung and another customer in front of us, thier 2 year old was stung. So please beware. Juice and sweets attract them so staying in any spot for too long is a bad idea. But the polar bears make up for it ????

Honey Mann

One of the best zoo. Been to multiple cities in Canada and visiting respective zoo, we can say this one is worth the time!

Gagan Kasana

Much upgrading has been done to grass and walkways in the park. Always well maintained. A pleasure to visit the osrk.

Patrick 23

Always well kept and a great place for my little girl to run around at! So many things to do with their open fields, volleyball courts, bike trails and fire pits!

M Rivera

Huge, clean and safe area. It is good place to bring for kids and families. Volunteers and staffs are knowledgeable. A place that you can learn.

alex b

best place to walk with children

Angela Monkman

We had a good time out, volunteers were friendly and helpful, the store staff were nice as well :) I really like that there is tobacco offering for the bison. I'd love to see more things like this - that embrace and respect indigenous culture and practices. I'm a huge fan of Frogs, Owls, Sloths and Manatees- I would love to have more of these one day featured or an expanded exhibit. It's a good feeling to be able to go to a zoo and feel happy and enjoy the facility than to feel grim, sad and concerned for its inhabitants. I had a fun experience with a cavalier Peacock- so that was the highlight of this visit

Calvin Yong

Wonderful new additions in gardens and outdoor seating. Remains a place with so many options, all in nature.

Sahil Ahuja

Went to the zoo had a great experience.

Manjeet Singh

Nice place for spending the time with family..Friendly staff..

Christian Riquelme

I usually don't go to zoos but this one being more of a rescue/refugee zoo, is a must visit, you contribute to a good cause. Impressive amount of exotic animals from Canada and the world. Occasional temporary displays are great too.

Naryan Wong

Zoo lights were fantastic! Lots to see and do, music, drinks, photo ops, a blacksmith, horses, 'Axe throwing'... 10/10!

Navnath Indore

Wow. Best place to experience Artic animal life. One of the must visit place in winnipeg and Canada. Well maintained with healthy animals and well managed in Covid pandemic by zoo staff. Bus route 18 is easy option to get there from osborne junction.

Lia C

Never seen a zoo with horses and deer ... weird. As a mom of 2 babies in stroller , we wanted to go into the butterfly garden but YOU ARENT ALLOWED STROLLERS.??? I saw a few places with the same rule.... really uncool. let me just carry both my one year olds —- VERY unfair. Must be easy for parents of kids who Can walk...

James Rockwell

Beautiful park! Lots to see and do! My children really enjoyed looking for painted rocks!!

Jeff Nolan

One of the largest, most popular parks in Winnipeg! Includes the city's zoo, duck pond, gardens, picnic areas, grassy fields, foot/bike paths, and more! Highly recommended!

Timur W

Assiniboine Park keeps getting better and better! Lots of things to do and see.????

Travelot

Great place to spend a day with kids

Rick Jonsson

If you are looking for a good all day activity in Winnipeg then have a look at Assiniboine Park. The park itself is huge and has lots of sight in and around it included Winnipeg zoo. I would recommend a stroll through the English garden and the sculpture park and then around the duck pond to the Pavilion museum and possibly walk around the outside perimeter of the zoo. A great day out!

David Walker

Pleasantly surprised by the wonderful Polar bear exhibit and re-creation of Churchill. They have done a wonderful job with the large windows to view them while enjoying a bite to eat. It is also really neat that you can walk under the swimming polar bears through a glass tunnel. Everywhere you walk you will encounter a peacock just out for a stroll. I was lucky enough to see multiple peacocks open their feathers for a beautiful display. You are also able to walk with the kangaroos inside their exhibit and see the little joeys peaking out of the pouch. It was much better than I expected and spent much longer than I thought I would.

The kids really enjoyed.????????

Colleen Okrainec

October 9, 2021 Took my mum to Boo at the Zoo. This was her first time experiencing this event out weighed my many times attending. Reminded the times I took my daughter Brittany. I had much joy watching her expressions the inner child came out in her ‘n glad I was able to spend this amazing evening with my mum. The zoo stepped up this year going outside the box of their normal Boo. Included rides for all ages, band, riddles along the path to try to finger out, adult drinks, snacks, hot chocolate, coffee, mini donuts, walk through the grave yard ????. It was an wonderful evening fun had by all. We arrived for 5 the line up was quick end up finally making to the exit after 9. Did our night stop no made our way to Boston Pizza for dinner to talk about our wonderful day shopping/zoo. I love spending time with this amazing lady who has given me the strength when I was weak. Love you mum ????

Kristof VonEckhart

A beautiful place to spend a few days during your Winnipeg visit. Pack a picnic, enjoy the garden, let the kids play in the children's secret playground complete with hide-and-go seek wildscapes. Then take in the entertainment at Lyric. Walk across the bridge to Portage for some killer ice cream to finish the day!

Lisa B “Lisa B” A

Fun time at the annual Boo at The Zoo at Assiniboine Park ????. Enjoyed the live performances ????????????????????‍♂️????????‍????‍????

Carol Vermeer

Did my wedding photos here. Beautiful settings, great access. Whats not to like?

Frank Marchesini

One of my favorite places to visit every time I am in Winnipeg. The kids love it. The polar bear exhibit and Journey to Churchill are world class.

Albert Riezebos

Polar bear exhibit is well worth the price.

Hayden Reid

Who doesn't love animals? The Winnipeg zoo is great. The cost is alittle high but that's life. If you love polar bears you need to go here. I only rate it 4 stars because they don't have alligators anymore. I also went during the dinosaur exhibit, pretty awesome experience.

Dana NVRSK

Always plenty of nature to enjoy

Gwah Gwah

Went to the zoo lights at night. Great display plus it was good to see firepits scattered about.

Boniface Gomes

The hand water pump at the children's play ground has not worked all summer. It was removed about a month ago to I assume get fixed but now that it's reinstalled it still doesn't work. The poor kids keep pumping one after the other for 3 drops of water. Last year it worked great. Maybe time to have a talk with the plumber???

Guy Wilde

The Gardens at the Leaf was a beautiful outdoor experience. My son and I loved it!

Lisa

Better to go on cooler days. Animals are hiding in the shade. Kids were happy with what we did see.

Ian Parenteau

Such a gem of a park! Very wide open spaces with fairly decent parking. Always updating some area. The new "Leaf Gardens" are spectacular and very well done!

Carl Clark

Boo at the Zoo was a fun experience for the whole family!

Niki Nelson

A great place for kids and adults. Lots of free rides for kids. A zoo for kids. Zoo entry is not free. A cricket ground as well.

Alyssa Z

Had a wonderful day with the family today and the dinosaur exhibit was fantastic!! The seals were swimming and got to get up close with the bears when we stopped for lunch at Tundra grill which was clean and felt very comfortable for first outing to eat in long time! Wonderful staff and volunteers. Great job guys!

Haleys comet

SO MUCH FUN!! omg expensive however the addition of the sting ray exhibit where you can touch and feed them is amazing, had a blast with the kids :)

Picture This

Don't go to the zoo...Just yet. There was barely any animal movement when we went today(July 26). The Tundra grill only has take out, but there appears to be no where to sit outside to eat? The Dino animatronics is cool, but would have been nice to see some animal life. Approx 70% of the animals were missing, or doin nothing. Maybe wait till fall, or when its not humid/warm weather. Also, not sure having one way traffic is a smart idea. Several times throughout the walk we kept getting jammed up and had to pass people repeatedly within the Covid space requirement. Our group would have taken a different direction to avoid the crowd build ups. Once we can drop these masks and the weather cools down, we will definitely go again.

Whitecloud Booyakasha

Great experience but beware of wasps! Seriously. There is major wasps at every garbage and recycling bin. It's actually problematic. My daughter was stung and another customer in front of us, thier 2 year old was stung. So please beware. Juice and sweets attract them so staying in any spot for too long is a bad idea. But the polar bears make up for it ????

Dave Sloan

Just One Great park to drive around and see the Dear as they seem to enjoy the people that come to see them and they are just GREAT !

Udo Gerritzen

Nice Zoo. Very friendly staff/volunteers. The stingray house was the hit only topped by the polar bears. Saw them swimming in that water tunnel... Just great

Mystic Alara

Very poor value for our money. Prior to Journey to Churchill, there were more animals to view and it was more enjoyable. I used to go almost every week! Now? Not worth it. Went today and I feel we paid to see empty enclosures, plants, and parents not controlling their kids. Yes I know the zoo isn't responsible for that last part, but it's still part of the experience. The dinosaur enclosure was so lame, especially when you see old cob webs in some of the dinos mouths. It's 2021, I figured there would be a bit better technology but, guess not. What was also sad is so many of the enclosures are too small for these animals and they all look depressed...especially the meerkats who were trying to get out so badly. Honestly, the Journey to Churchill area is badly done because too much space is wasted on winding paths that show absolutely nothing, and the area about Churchill should really be in a museum, not a zoo. I'm so disappointed at how little there is to this zoo now. Most likely won't be back again.

Daniel Roscoe

The only reason for the missing star is the entrance fee. As a kid, the zoo was a standard summer Sunday excursion for my family, and I used to take my kids there too. Since they started charging for admission it has become a special occasion outing and I think I've been maybe 3 times. My son and his wife love going, and have season passes, and visit it all through the year. We joined them on a nice couple of hours walk, about 2 miles, slowly rambling through the zoo, stopping in the bird house, monkey house etc and having lunch in the Tundra grill. The display areas are very nice, much bigger and more humane than 50 years ago. The animals are impressive, and there are lots of helpful, knowledgeable volunteers, even in the -15 weather we visited during. The Tundra Cafe is a burger style eating place, with lots of support for families. Aunt Sally's Farm is a thing remembered only by us oldies, but the play area here is still fun, and a lot less scary for the animals. An additional feature of the grill is the view. You are looking out at the polar bear area and we got quite the floor show, the bears came right up to the windows and looked in at us, and then proceeded to goof around right in front of us. I had the big burger meal, but there are smaller meals as well as vegetarian options. I just missed the park breakfast meal due to getting there just after 11:00 but it looks like a good deal. Food was very good, hot fresh and generous servings. A bit more than a McD's but the floor show seemed worth it. We explored the aquarium exhibit, watching the seals power round the tank, and were fortunate enough to be given another show by the polar bear who jumped in and swam around and over us. I would like to go back, but the admission fee is pretty high for a pensioner, I'll probably wait till early summer to see the changes and maybe a few more animals.

AndrewP204

Great place to get together and organize outdoor birthday, marriage and other summer activities

Legal Eagle (Legal Eagle)

Absolutely superb place!! This is one of the best places to visit if you are in Winnipeg (in addtion to the Forks and the Human Rights Museum). The park is well kept and has several area for kids activities,walks, music arena, Arctic exhibit (live Polar bears and Seals). There is a cricket ground also. On a summer day you can spend hours there. You may rent rent group bikes to get around. Overall an amazing place to visit with kids, families or friends!!

Vanessa Meads

Such a great place to spend the day! I appreciate the water bottle fill stations that are available throughout, and the new polar bear enclosure is really something. Volunteers here are really friendly and knowledgeable as well.

dhruvraj raulji

One of the most visitable place of Manitoba if not only of Winnipeg. They have so many different types of animals from cats like lynx and cougar to our own manitoba bison. Even kangaroos in the summer. The favorite attraction would be the polar bears though. They are just the best. The restaurant in the zoo is just great the food is one of the best quality. Though it's huge so will get a good exercise. They have some displays of plane and other things. One of he most peculiar things about their display is the artic life. Just visit this place please if you are not from manitoba haven't come across a better zoo yet.

Leah Sweetland

A bit pricey to get in, but it is a very enjoyable zoo experience. The walking trails are nice and shady. There is a free tram if you're tired, and plenty of options for snacks. The underwater tunnel to watch deals and polar bears swim is unforgettable.

Dimitris Protsios

We had a perfect day even though it was windy and showing today. But snow and wind were a good resemblance of a visit to Churchill ☺️ . Bears and seals were active enough to enjoy them playing around. Plenty of animals to watch and most of them were out and about. We will return for a follow up on a summer day.

Chloe Weinheimer

Beautifully renovated. Very spacious enclosures with lots of places for the animal to roam, play, and avoid people if they so wish. The animals look relaxed and well taken care of.

VIRAL RAVAL

Assiniboine zoo is really good place to explore new species and nature, there is proper guidance at each place and map is everywhere to give us directions. It has spread widely, however, if compared to Toronto zoo, it is not that much wide enough. But, Polar bear makes this Zoo worth to see. For one day picnic it's good to visit here with family.

Devon Fischer

My fiancé and I just made our first trip here today! We've been in Winnipeg for a year and a half and finally decided to check it out. We've heard nothing but good things about it. We spent almost 4 hours here and still didn't see everything! We definitely will be going back. We loved our experience and can't wait for our next!

Kiera T

Friendly staff and well taken care of zoo! Loved seeing all the animals!

K Christine

The staff and volunteers are always knowledgeable, friendly and kind. The zoo is well cared for and a lovely space for people of all ages.

Darshak Patel

Had a great time exploring the zoo and looks at the animals although a few of couple of them had an attitude.

Jennifer Chow

Exceeded my expectations. The zoo has many animals. The best part were the polar bears.

Sharnell Friesen

I always love the zoo! What a fun adventure! Only wished we could have seen the Polar Bears swimming around!

John Dharm

Its a great place to being kids, they will especially love the dinosaur exhibit because they have models that move. The animals were in great care.

Scott Kendrick

So glad we were able to see the Christmas lights so much fun

TheMegz296

The animals were active and very cute.

Ruben Barrios

It was an amazing experience, the polar bears are incredibles!!

Erin Amy

First time going for many years and I really enjoyed it! So much to see! Will go again!

Melanio Enero

Zoo lights were a phenomenal experience. $15 can be pricey but you end up staying for the whole experience. the money is worth it. $12 at Co-op acan save a bit if your with a large famile

Amber S

Me and my 2 young daughter's (4&6yrs old) had a wonderful day, plenty for us to see and do... we wished there was more animals tho but still a Great Zoo ????

'Tunji Alao

Located minutes from downtown Winnipeg in beautiful Assiniboine Park, the Assiniboine Park Zoo is one of Manitoba's premier tourist attractions. Home to nearly 200 animal species, the Zoo is a great place for exploration and family fun. Open year-round, the Zoo is the home of Journey to Churchill, one of the best arctic species exhibits in the world. Here visitors can experience polar bears and seals swimming above them in the amazing Sea Ice Passage as well as encountering musk ox, snowy owls, caribou and more! The Zoo also provides visitors with the opportunity to experience animal species from all corners of the globe including Amur tigers, camels, snow leopards and more. With over 80 park-like acres to explore, the Zoo has been a favourite destination for families, tourists, school groups, and animal lovers for over a century.

Liam Theo Creative

We went to the Zoo when it was a bit colder and the summer hours had just begun so there wasn't a ton of activities available yet and some of the animals weren't around, but the activities and animals that were there made the experience great! I would definitely return next time I am in Winnipeg!

Jean-Michel Molin

We went on a rainy day so probably fewer people. Had a lot of fun. Staff everywhere anticipated our needs and offered assistance as needed. Enjoyed the whole experience and look forward to going back.

Ahmed Elsamahy

An okay zoo, doesn’t have a variety of animals like zoos in big cities. However the best part at least for me was the polar bears section! It’s great and you can see them swimming and having fun in the glass dome!

Piklu Sutradhar

Great place for everyone. My daughter enjoys the dinosaurs discover section.

F. Catojo

Took the family to Boo at the Zoo. Loved it. Great entertainment and lots to see and do. Really enjoyed the ferris wheel.

Tammy Rediger

Gift shop has a ton of stuff, every stuffed animal you can think of almost. The animals are well taken care of here. The best time to come is around 9 or 930 am during feeding time and when it is not too hot for the animals to be out. The pilar bear exhibit is my favourite part, they are so beautiful and the underwater tunnel provides some amazing perspective.

Scott Spiegelberg

It's ok. It's mostly boring Canadian animals which limits it (a lot of deer, elk, ox type animals). If the polar bears aren't feeling active or up for a swim there isn't much memorable.There's also a single tiger and kangaroos for some reason (Poor Tiger must be bored out of his mind. I felt bad for it). Other than those it's all Canadian animals. It can't compete with the better zoos in the world but for Winnipeg it's an ok place to kill half a day. They do a good job with a limited budget. I think the best part was the robot dinosaurs which shouldn't be the case.

Quintessa Saffira

Been coming here for a while. Good for every occasion you can think of. There are nice trails for walking, and just walking around at the park is always nice. Touring around, you have the leo mall. Entertainment there’s events at the lyric stage in the summer. The playground for the kids is always a good time and in the winter you can slide down the hill there. Skating on the pond is an activity in the park. There’s a new cargo bar and the park cafe for food and drinks. Qualico you can host events such as weddings, socials. You name it, Assiniboine park has it all

Meghan Cole

Very peaceful place. Visited and paid tribute to a dear friend

Wendy Hunter

Great exhibits, but could use more signage to show where you are.

Odia Pollard

So much to see and do. I had a great time with the family. My 3 yr oldhada blast especially the dinosaurs and the polar bear

John Erwin

I haven't been in years so I really enjoyed today's visit! The "Journey to Churchill" exhibit is worth the price of admission itself. So glad the zoo decided to go this route instead of the "old zoo" model it used to be.

Cindy Munroe

lots of construction going on due to the leaf garden. It looks like it will be beautiful though ! Side walks and roads aren't always in the best condition for biking/ walking. Fields and fire pits are great though ! Love the new fire pit slots and Cargo Bar.

The Bear

The Churchill exhibit must be seen All pictures taken by me, on my various visits.

W .Barhoum

Nice place to walk in with kids, it has some special animals like a tiger and polar bears. Unfortunately, it closes on 5 pm even on the weekends.

Michael K

Excellent. Much to see & do. Children loved the dinosaurs too!????

Jennifer Falk

I took my 3.5 year old daughter here and it was so much fun! We barely got to see half the zoo in the 3 hours we we're there! They were also celebrating the red panda, and had lots of fun festivities and learning experiences. I had no idea they had a butterfly garden or an Australian outback walk-through. So awesome! When our legs got tired, they even had a free shuttle tour. There were so many animals to see and lots we're out and about! We even passed by a few peackocks walking around freely. I was definitely impressed with the Tundra restaurant as they had quite a few gluten free and tasty options! I think I will look into getting a membership here!! Oh and they have a giant insect exhibition worth checking out right now that's included in admission. SO MUCH TO SEE!!! ????

Nasshia Levack

Awesome family fun, we'll organized.

Saiful Shibly

My kids are loving this. If you are in Winnipeg, dont miss it.

Billie Quinn

It's very over priced($20.50 per adult) for what they offer. They dont have a lion anymore???????????? but they do have an amazing albino Bison who is SO handsome(you can see him for free from the parking lot ????). I can literally sum up the zoo in 5 pics.

Rafi Maman

Wonderful zoo for families with kids !!! The polar bears is the best attraction in the zoo.

Michael Koch-Schulte

One of the world's best Zoo's featuring boreal and arctic animals.

Gina

Love it! The polar bears and stingrays exhibits are both awesome. The zoo is spread out nicely so it didn't feel crowded even with a full parking lot. Great assortment of animals for the size of the zoo and the price of admission. Will definitely return!

Ryan Bialek

A family favorite spot, we have a season pass and have been more than 5 times this summer. The zoo really has come a long way over that last 5 years. The new wolf exhibit is great, and Journey to Churchill is a treat each visit. Food is decent, park is always clean.

Tyler Crichton

Amazing place. You could easily spend 8 hours at this zoo if you see and read everything. Very friendly staff that take the time to talk to you about the animals. Well worth the price.

Marina Havard (Marishinka)

I enjoyed the time spent at the park with my family. It's such a beautiful place to spend time alone or with family and loved ones. For lovers of nature, you can't go wrong by visiting this awesome place where nature is preserved. It has a nice play ground for kids, sculpture garden with lots of flowers, English garden and lots more. We went on a raining day and it was not busy at all. My daughter really enjoyed the visit as she had a lot of fun playing and running around. I've never seen her had so much fun since Covid lock down. Would definitely visit again

Noor Pannu

What an outstanding park! You could spend a very pleasant few hours walking through and around the Indigenous Garden, Kitchen Garden, Sensory Garden, English Garden, Duck Pond and Leo Mal Sculpture Garden. And that doesn’t even include the Children’s Natural Playground or the Assiniboine Park Zoo. The new Leaf project looks like it is going to be a really interesting building, although construction is still ongoing right now. And the steam train was unfortunately closed for repairs during the week of our trip.

Mark G

A great little zoo for all ages. The polar bear exhibit is the highlight of the park, we were able to see them play fighting over the water tunnel. Butterfly exhbit was neat and informative. Plan on a minimum of 3.5hrs, though you can easily spend more. Bring a picnic lunch and spend some extra time in the park next door.

Richard

The size of this zoo is massive and they have a large selection of animals. However I do think some of the animal enclosures are very poorly decorated and extremely small. Monkeys were cool though! The admission price is not bad as well.

Charlotte Pirch

OUR FAMILY really enjoyed the Lights of the Zoo. The displays were amazing, staff was friendly and you could tell that there was a lot of work involved to make everyone's visit special.

Mandeep Sandhu

So cool place, mainly the glass tunnel for polar bears. Very well maintained and clean.

Ron Hogue

Assiniboine park has changed a lot during my lifetime. It's beautiful and you feel like you in a different world! There are areas for children to play and discover, areas for adults to relax and lots of green space. We visit Assiniboine Park all seasons as the often have activities. Having the zoo next door makes a one stop shop for a day of adventures!

Evelyn Fey

Wonderful place to visit!!

Christian Bazin

The Assiniboine Park Zoo is alright. It's bad, but it's far from world class. It's likely more exciting for children than adults. Our toddler really enjoys it. The renovations in the last few years are nice but having gone back this year for the first time since the renovations were done, I was not blown away. The Journey to Churchill is massive, and probably one of the most humane enclosures anywhere in the world. Despite it's many lookouts the only real attraction is the underwater tunnel, which is short lived due to the small size of this part of the installation. As for the rest of the Zoo, it is spread out, which again likely means better size enclosures but it's a little confusing to navigate the Zoo and the lookouts for many of the enclosures don't afford a very good view. This is particularly the case for children who are short or those in strollers. Although Zoos sometimes come in question for animal rights, they can be an important part of children's education to help them increase their value of animals, the environment and sustainability. Zoos can also benefit animals from the research done there too.

Colette Groen

We really enjoyed our visit to the zoo. Covid-19 regulations of social distancing, sanitation and direction arrows are clear and well organized. Loved the Churchill discovery and especially the seals. Following the arrows definitely helps with seeing all the exhibits from start to finish. Staff was very friendly and informative. Definitely go back in the fall when it is not so hot out.

Michael Loschiavo

This is a great place to bring visiting family or even just for a family visit anytime. Nice and clean and lots of different animals To see

Victoria Weir

Always a lovely park. The new additions seem lovely but it will be a while before we get a chance to enjoy it all.

Levi Fehr

The new polar Bear exhibit was amazing, well done folks.

Dan Brown

This was a good zoo. I only have a few to compare it with though; the Toronto Zoo and the Philadelphia zoo. In my opinion it was not as good as those, but you have to take into consideration the difference in population. There weren't and African animals, however it did have some cool Asian ones. My favourite part was definitely the Journey to Churchill exhibit. The walk through aquarium with the seals was really cool. My 3 year old son's favourite part was the animatronic dinosaurs. Admission proces were fair. I also would love to recognize whoever the girl was who was working in the gift shop whem you leave. My son had scrapes his knee and i needed to ask for a bandaid. She went way out of her way to calm him and gave him a small plastic stamp ring of a tiger. She honestly made our whole trip that much more memorable and i doubt we will ever forget her kind soul.

Oleg Gromovia

Night light event is awesome ????

Jared Miskimmin

The lights were pretty spectacular and it was nice to get out of the house.

Siddartha I

It's a great zoo. The exciting part is you get to see the polar bear close up. You should definitely check out the show "Rhythms of the North" it's amazing. The seals put on a great show. Also definitely do check out the gift store to take some souvenir back home. If you ever visit Winnipeg make sure you check it out.

Tourism Winnipeg

Beautiful almost autumn weekend, colours were in all their glory.

Jennifer Thorsteinsson

You can now go in the tropical house again!

Lindsay Wachal

It was a beautiful day so quite a few people around but we loved it anyway

Gary Alderson

The grandkids and I had a wonderful time with the dinosaurs. We managed to see the musk ox were out. Great exhibits, animals.

Ross Anthony

Pretty warm day, a lot of lazy animals trying to find shade. The polar bears came out and went for a swim in front of us, that was cool to see.

Neil & Marleen Jonker

Big fancy park. Frederick G. Todd, Canada's first landscape architect, designed the park in 1904. He later did Tuxedo Park in 1909.

Jerry Standifer

Great zoo and can be done in a day. The Arctic exhibit is amazing. The cost is a bit steep though.

Angelique Prefontaine-Gibson

I have been going to the Assiniboine Zoo since as far back as I remember. Although I love the bigger spaces for some animals, it was a shame to not be able to see so many animals too. I used to be able to follow a path quite well, now you have to back track to get to where you want to go. I miss the 'active' monkey area!! Tucan area...where are the Tucans?? I see all these new areas but no animals. Not worth the $20 for me unfortunately.

Ralph Mousseau

Great little zoo. Well worth the admission fee.

Carla Fisher

Over priced for absolutely nothing. The kids were bored, had more fun on random rocks there and most of the cages were empty. Cages that did have animals were types you can see in most places in Manitoba. Tons of areas restricted to special passes or memberships (aka more money) also. Would not go again.

Pandora Davie

Very cool zoo would 100% reccomend the dinosaur section it was sooo cool!

Anahid Shook

Though small, this zoo has so much to look at, we easily burned through almost the entire day there! The animals seemed very healthy and happy. Very satisfying trip!

Corne Pretorius

Animals are well taken care of, facilities clean and maintained. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed every single moment!

Matt Klaverkamp

Beautiful day, lots of friendly service directing proper areas to line up. Masks required for line up and indoor areas, no masks required when outdoors.. the wolves and polar bear/seal tanks were my fave. Quite a few areas closed off during this visit. I would still highly recommend for covid friendly outdoor activity

Hiu Yan Chan

The kids love the light, there are fire with an assistant there to help warm you up but... It's not very safe for little kids. There are 2 tents, one at the very back of the zoo and one of the right side from the entire. Bad decisions on our part to go at -35... Very true Winter-peg... The lights was beautiful and I think the kids love it beside it was a bit too cold.

Akilles - Kosie Boras

The lights were very cool

silpa sethy

Nice place to go with family and friends. It can take upto 2 and half hours to go around the zoo. Many animals were sleeping when we went like polar bear and Lynx. I personally felt it was very dry for the animals with limited water supply.

Tyler Nowicki

Journey to Churchill is an excellent exhibit. I've visited many times and it is always a great experience. The new wolf exhibit is also excellent. I would recommend watching the trainers feed the wolves. They answer any questions you may have after the feeding.

Nick Jolliff

Not a very big or diverse zoo. It's got some interesting exhibits, but you can see the whole thing in a couple hours. I'm sure it's good for such a rural area, but not quite up to my expectations. It would be nice if they had a more variety of animals. Also, the peacocks got annoying as they are everywhere.

Dm R

Within the park we have a meticulously maintained English style garden with winding walkways around flower beds through low hanging mature trees. Additionally, have a craft beer at Cargo Bar ????.

Shane Nixon

It's the best park in the city for beauty and its gardens .

Ajay M

Always beautiful, especially after a much needed rain

Clay Purves

Took friends from out of town. The polar bears impressed them and the overall experience had them happy

John Pieri

Polar bear exhibit is very good. Excellent space for bears to roam, and great viewing spots.

Steve Zacharias

Love the zoo!

Mr. Kelowna

Really nice presentation. Very well kept and clean.

Conor Adrian

Staff were very helpful. Enclosures seemed clean and the animals well cared for.

Saud Alruwaili

Excellent place to visit for children.

Kenny Gionet

Boo at the zoo was amazing this year!! 1st time going!

Jaswinder Dhaliwal

It's the best place for a walk, any time of the day I envy Winnipeg wish we had something like this in Toronto

Krissy Lee

The volunteers are amazing and the kids thought the extreme bugs were pretty neat. The baby snow leopards were cute and funny. I do miss the lions and a few other animals. The kids also loved the butterfly garden. The only downsize is how expensive it is. I understand they are trying to raise money for the zoo but the prices are over the top. The gift shop items were $15 for a little stuffed animal keychain or $30 for a 6 inch stuffed animal and they really weren't anything special. They should offer less expensive toys for the kids, very few people can afford $30 for a small stuffed animal.

Raymond Magararu

Only seen a small section of it so far. A little confusing to get around, we thought we were in the park and all of a sudden we realized we had crossed over into a housing neighborhood. Lol kids loved the nature park

Hosny

Amazing zoo! You'll have a wonderful time there.

Uravesh Gandhi

Very nice place.

Rumana Afroz Sultana

Not a very big collection of animals but still good!

Richard Vincent

The zoo was beautiful the animals were very active and my daughter love the experience

Sophie Baillargeon

Sweet n short!

Isabelle Normandeau

Possibly one of the most underrated places I have ever been to. It is so beautiful and historical. The English Gardens are something special. If ever you visit Manitoba, add this to your bucket list!

Stacy Saville

Went for Zoo Lights. I liked the set times for entrance. Everything was very orderly and running smoothly. While inside, the many volunteers kept the traffic going in one direction and kept everyone safe and happy.

Sahil Ahuja

Went to the zoo had a great experience.

Jessica LaBossiere

Grew up near here, love the trails and all the events that happen in and around here, something is always going on, people are pretty much always in a good mood when hanging around assinaboine park

Sam B

Great selection of animals! Sometimes hard to see the animals with all the shadowy cages, especially with small children, but good overall. Be prepared to do lots of walking. Polar bear and seal underwater exhibit is super cool!!! My 1yr old daughter was super pumped about it!

Darcy and Laura LeBlanc

Zoo lights were great!

Lance Kilkenny

Boo at the zoo was great. Im glad they brought it back

Natasha J.

I loved this park as a child. I grew up here. This was the park I escaped from my stepfather to. Seeing it full of untended holes from gophers and the water fountains welded shut was absolutely heartbreaking. I know times are hard right now, I don't blame you for shifting funds to fight the pandemic. But I hope to update this review next year when I return. It was like returning to an old friend, to find them sick and badly injured.

I have enjoyed so many aspects of the Assiniboine Park. The park provides areas for family picnics, the Zoo, the English Gardens and now this great little pop up for a beverage and light snack.

Wanda Martino

The only complaint that I have is that a stroller was rented and when we were to leave the zoo we were told we had to bring it back where we got it from. It really would make more sense to have a pick up spot at entrance as well as a drop off spot at the exit.

Darci

Good area for children, play and know some history

J. Marshal Courneyea

Decent zoo...better than a lot, but some issues made it hard to grade. Standard problems a lot of zoos face (appropriate space and companionship for the animals)...but a top notch conservation effort with the world class polar bear facility to boot. Unfortunately a lack of signage and maps to navigate the facility/grounds hurt the score a bit too.

Awesome place to go please follow me on Twitch at OG extract

Andrew M (OhmGnome)

Music in the park tues-thurs. There is the cargo bar. Leo mol garden is always beautiful and if you time it right the sunset walking across the bridge is always beauty

Serenity Duncan

Always love our yearly visit to the zoo, love the animals and the staff is always friendly

Julian Kim

Great place to bring the family and stay covid safe too.

Val

This zoo brings back so much memories. They have updated a lot to the place over the years. Glad to see a peacock still roaming freely around. Some of the animals where missing in action. (Unless they could be sleeping) Glad to see the zoo still busy as ever. Would give a 5 star if the attraction where fully stocked or working and up and running.

Scott Wilson

Children love it . Things never seen before . When the 7 year old asked where the unicorns were , I told her that a beautiful princess got accidentally stabbed by the unicorn when she tried to pet it and that her heartbroken and angry prince destroyed them all so that no other princess could ever suffer the same .

T Duong

Fun place to bring your family. Or go by yourself :)

Adam Orbanski

Great place to bring your family. Right now there toboggan hills and skating. In the summer it's great to bring children to parks, have picnics and even take them out for a snack at the restaurant . Great place to walk bike as well. They have entertainment, outings and bike rental. Come check it out

Jessica Kletke

Assiniboine Park is an excellent park to visit, with a lot of different activities. If you enjoy nature, you can get that here. Walking or bike paths? Many paths, though most need to be repaved as roots have hit them hard. The kid park is awesome for the kids, lots of room for sports, a zoo, bbq pits and picnic tables... It's awesome and we visit almost daily.

Courtney C

This is a great place to go with the whole family, although it's a little pricey. If you go on a cool/cold day you will get your money's worth with the amount of animals to see. The volunteers and staff are also very helpful when having trouble getting around.

Alison Nye

I went with my family to see the Lights at the Zoo. It was a beautiful and creative combination of displays and colours that was well worth the $12 cover charge.

Dragos Nina

Such a beautiful park,amazing scenery,lots of trees,great trails for bike riding,i loose myself in this park!!

Sarika

Zoo lights were impressive. I’ve been to other zoo lights around Canada and this one is not to be missed. Oh and the stingray section was open as well. There are many places to warm up if you get too cold.

Kaili “Nicole” Humeniuk

Dinosaurs uncovered was so amazing ???? I loved going with my bestie and nephew

Marc S

Great! (If you like zoos.)

kevin knight

Got some pretty good photos at the park tonight, pretty place. They are not subject to copyright, so feel free to use them for screensavers, profile pics, etc DM me if you want more!!

Kerr Almario

The kids will surely enjoy this place. It has a lot of different animals and there's also life-sized dinosaurs! The butterfly place is also amazing!

Rebecca Wallace

Went to boo at the zoo and had a fantastic time.

TheRexxenex

Amazing experience! Clean and friendly zoo! Animals well taken care of!

Louis Boisvert

The kids loved Boo at the Zoo. I was surprised with the beer gardens and live band! Very cool.

Corey Mugford

The habitats are modern and the animals appear well looked after. The Arctic, Farm and Dinosaur exhibits are all excellent. This Zoo is highly recommended!

Uxaer Malick

Really fun Zoo! Visit makes an active and informative day for adults and kids. Polar bear exhibit is the highlight.

Vimal Sandhu

Assiniboine zoo is an amazing spot for family outing. You can go for picnic and see a lot of animals at the same time. There are many animals here, including arctic animals, amazing tundra birds, small aquariums, farm animals in summer etc. I have been here a lot of times both in summer as well as winter. In my opinion, during summers the place is very crowded but it does have plus points which are missing in winter. For example butterflies, bug exhibit etc. On the other hand if you go here in winter, there are less people and the volunteers are easily available if you have questions about animals. They have restaurant, shop for souvenirs as well. This place deserves 5 starts, there is always something new going on here. They also have some special days for kids, old people etc. They have separate Churchill area, they also have kids’ play area. You must visit the zoo if you are in Winnipeg. I have tonne of photos, but uploading a few here.

Tejaswini Nayak

Our family loves hanging out here. Lots of things to do with the kids. You can go running, walking, biking, picnic, kite flying, playing sports at the field like frisbee, soccer, badminton, volleyball, dodgeball,etc. Great family bonding time. There is a playground, art gallery, flower garden. We dont get tired of going to this beautiful park. The nature and the ambiance always rejuvinates us.

Trevor K

Love this park. Bathrooms are surprisingly clean. Always a pleasure to visit during winter an summer. Haven't been to zoo since updating a few years ago, way to expensive. Over all though great place.

Andriy Luts

Loved the changing dynamic expo ( this time Bugs were replaced by Dinosaurs)

Natalie

I love the zoo. This time is was for the zoo lights. So much fun. Allocate 1-2 hours and dress warm.

I live trap squirrels at home and bring them here. I like to think they would never want to return. Basically, a squirrel paradise. Humans are welcome.

Bryan Abila

Beautiful place to enjoy and relax with kid, family and friends.

Mr Jackalope

To many wasps. I was told there was traps but could see none. Its amazing that me and my kids did not get bit. They also had very sloppy lines and directions, I still dont want to be near that many people due to variants and I was forced to be near to many people at once. They also had no one to enforce any rules or directions further complicating things. This kids had fun but I'm highly disappointed.

Simon Handley

Huge exhibits. Lots to see. The two big ticket animals we didn't see though. No polar bears or tigers could be seen. Avoid hot part of the day I think if you want to catch those two. We went from 1-5pm. The dinosaur exhibit on new species was awesome. I hadn't heard of many of them before. The butterfly conservatory was top notch too. On par with Niagara butterfly conservatory.

Derpy Corgi

I went for Boo! At The Zoo and it was a fun experience, but as to be expected it was pretty crowded and lines for the rides took forever to get through.

Francisco Alvarado

To have an unforgettable Sunday with kids. The polar bears are a top show

Andrew Kaiser

An alright zoo overall, but the Polar Bear exhibit: A MUST SEE! Cannot begin to describe the smile on my face seeing the polar bears swim overhead... Brings a child-like sense of wonder to anyone in the underwater tunnel. The seals and bears playing around in the water made it an unforgettable visit.

Mai Yun La

We have a fantastic zoo with lots of interesting animals! A few were missing information but staff were friendly and helpful.

Devon Fischer

My fiancé and I just made our first trip here today! We've been in Winnipeg for a year and a half and finally decided to check it out. We've heard nothing but good things about it. We spent almost 4 hours here and still didn't see everything! We definitely will be going back. We loved our experience and can't wait for our next!

Andrew A

My favourite park in Winnipeg and a lot to see/do there. Definitely a place to go to during a Winnipeg summer or fall.

Ruslan Shakirzyanov

One of the nicest parks in winnipeg so much to do can easily spend 3 hours here kids of all ages love it. The duck pond is always a site to see....also just a beautiful scenary.

Betty La

So many beautiful spots to see!

Faith Sunkawasti

If your patient enough, you get a good view of some animals that are in there hiding. Bring a lunch of snack and your good to walk, talk or just sit. Cant wait to bring boyz back real soon.

Alena Brown

Great zoo!! The polar bears were amazing and the sting rays were really cool! We didn't get a chance to see everything as we had a flight, but what we did see we had a great time!

Kevin yr Cho (Aventine)

Polar bear is super cute. Seatus the seal will follow your finger and spin for you. During winter, it is very very cold. Zoo ranger Lisa and Deborah are very friendly and detailed.

Natasha Coogan

Great park. Big children's park with lots of fun and interesting play things. Nice landscaping. The zoo is inside (the zoo is amazing I highly recommend it) and the coservatory is free and has a wide range of plants. The pavilion is public and has an art gallery inside the 2nd and 3rd floors with interesting Canadian art. The Lyric stage where they host Ballet in the Park and other shows. I had a picnic there and people were flying kites, it's a great multifunctional place for everyone to share.

Steven Goldstine

A must-visit for travelers and locals. Journey to Churchill (polar bears +) is remarkable every time, special events including the Lights at the Zoo are fantastic, and continued improvements keep the experience fresh and exciting.

Kaleb Inglis

Boo at the zoo was a great time lots of entertainment. Worth the price of admission. Line ups were a little long at the end of the night.

Lilllers

Assiniboine Zoo has had a nice little update. Aunt Sally's farm is nice bright and colorful, the small play area for kids is also welcomed as the one by the polar bears is usually overcrowded. The bison viewing platforms are a nice touch and make for a great photo opportunity. They have changed up some of their animals as well. Price is still pretty steep for this zoo, it lacks what others in the country have. Overall it was good to come back to.

Johanna Frezza

A great family day at the zoo. Enjoyed seeing many wonderful Butterfliesat the butterfly gardens, animatronic dinosaur exhibition, polar bears swimming and so many animals.

Raymond

Lots of great animals enjoying the warm winter day.

Odell Havsdotter

Had a great time. Saw a lot of animals. Wish the scooters were cheaper to rent; its air of walking for someone with mobility issues. But I had a great time. The wolves were amazing

Navneet Kaur

Zoo lights were amazing.

C “Plant Girl” Nov

Love going to the zoo! A few of the enclosures are closed but the Dinosaur animatronics and Butterfly exhibits were great!

Kevin W

We love it, lots of options to see everything and the have new exhibits to see (this summer was dinosaurs). We enjoy it and got a membership.

Muskan Vhora

A great place to visit in every season of the year!

Melanie Hartshorn

Great zoo! Links to fnmi. Staff was very helpful. Offer online visits too.

Karey McMahon-Stoltz

I have visited many zoos around the world, and I usually leave feeling like there are some animals there that don't make sense (ignoring the whole "wild animals in cages" thing for a minute). For instance, should there be polar bears in San Diego Zoo? Should there be lions at the Moscow Zoo? Probably not. Well, this zoo had mainly animals that come from cold places. They had furry wooly creatures around every corner, and not a single giraffe. It was, to me, a great example of stewardship in the form of a public zoo. Now, on to the real appeal, their Churchill exhibit about the arctic that culminates with the polar bears in a huge area, is really top notch.

Leon Be

The Zoo has always been a decent place to visit. Animals are not usually that active but guess what no animal runs around 24hrs a day anyway. Journey to Churchill is a must, Aunt Sally's farm as well. Wandering peacock's yup you'll see those too!

Joanne L.

It was a fun trip. The most interesting was to see the polar bear swimming and playing in the water.

Robin

Christmas at the zoo. A stroll through amazing light displays. Lots of fires to warm up at.

Anthony J. Pua

always a pleasure; always something new; sorry I missed your opening date for the 146 foot tropical waterfall; WOW

Murray Hanstead

Two hour line up for my "reserved" time slot for zoo lights. Never go again.

Susan Novakowski

Went for Boo at the Zoo!!!

David

Amazing displays of Dinosaurs The Zoo vast variety of animals Polar bears are a must see

Christian Clavelle

Awesome. Got a family year pass!

Indrajith Wickramananda

Summer Entertainment Series movies in the park was lots of fun! Older movies with a couple of presentation glitches that did not detract from enjoying a night out with my family. Covid rules applied, double vaccine and physical distance.

Johan van Ingen

The polar bears are fantastic! And while I can't judge the financial situation of the park, a lot of compounds and habitats are in serious need of expansion and upgrades. Could also do with more interactive expos to engage the kids in a more modern way. So deffo go here if you're in the neighbourhood, you'll love the polar bears and help the improve the park with your financial support.

Rick M

Beautiful zoo, well maintained and reasonably priced for entry. Unfortunately the day we visited it was quite hot out so we weren't really able to see the polar bears which are the zoos main exhibit. It would be nice to have more viewing options for days like this.

Darrell English

From skating in wintertime to biking the "monkey trails" in the summer, definitely a favorite place of mine.

Junko Bailey

Recently renovated zoo offers world class polar bear display. Dinosaur display area is also very well done.

Jessica Rear

Love the zoo hate the cost. My friends with larger families can never afford it. But me and my son love going and seeing all the animals. And he loved the new giant bugs the zoo has.

Myles Dyck

Most of the park was closed unfortunately, but what was open was very tidy and animals looked happy!

Kevin Gordon

we were here for Brew at the zoo, the outdoor beer festival. It was a fantastic evening, with a lot of great beer vendors and liquor vendors sampling things. This is the third year we've gone, and we always enjoy ourselves.

Geoffrey

Zoo, park, fountains, movie in the park too. You can do jogging, walking, biking in its trail. Theres a couple of restaurants inside the park but you can ways bring your own. This is my go to picnic park during summer.

Belle Louise

A lot of people aren't fond of the price to enter, and to be honest I was one of those people, but I absolutely love what the money has gone towards. It looks awesome, and the animals seem to be well taken care of. The staff seems super caring and happy to be there. The volunteers are also super friendly and caring. My only issue is with how the stingrays are kept. The building itself is bare, but the stingrays definitely deserve a little more room and decor!

fedisa !

Watching the park evolve over the past few years has been a treat, and I can't wait to see what the new development has in store. I'm a bit disappointed in the increase in price/introduction of fees for previously free attractions, but ultimately the transformation of the park has been worth it.

Rosemarie Taylor

This park is great for a picnics, rollerblading, walking, running, playing frisbee, or just hanging out. Baseball diamond and Cricket fields are also here. Very beautiful and well maintained.

mike sun

Great park! Parking can be very hard to find however, and there are many pedestrians walking in the middle of the roads.

Jeremy The Dad

Its so much awesome compared to when I was a kid...keep it up! And boo at the zoo!!! Love the new version!

Aaron Merke - In Character

Boo at the zoo and lights at the zoo were fantastic outdoor events for everyone.

Craig Omundsen

A great place to spend time with family and friends. If you're wondering where to throw a picture perfect picnic straight outta Pinterest, Assiniboine Park is the place to go. Also a great place for an early morning run or a bike ride.

Nicole Bambenek

Love the zoo, member of plenty years here! Love seeing all the improvements, would love to see the wolves in a bigger enclosure and the tiger! Pic for fun!

Josh Wagler

Nice place to take the family but a little too themed was interesting to see and learn about Churchill but would have been nice to see more other exotic animals as well half the zoo is devoted to one subject

Anton Bristol

Great dinosaur exhibition! Lots of food choices. Only a few animals. It was a hot day.

Pavehead

The zoo is fantastic, there is lots of fun to be had. There is a wide variety of different animals and sea creatures that you could certainly spend a whole day perusing. One thing I noticed however, is the lack of water bottle fill stations throughout the park. That is kind of frustrating when you have kids in tow and it's a hot day, and you didn't prepare with a lot of water.

oMykhajlo K

It was very family friendly. Rightly insisted upon covid safety measures (masks when indoors, etc.), but didn't impose a 'proof of vax' requirement. The APZoo has a wonderful balance of respectful habitats for animals and yet providing the public with the otherwise-impossible opportunity of observing animals up close.

Frank D

The Zoo Lights were totally worth it! Grand kids loved it!

Paul Lewis

Always fun to visit! The price always surprises me though, it's a good way to spend an afternoon with kids if they don't get too tired of walking.

Eduardo Enrique Soto Parra

The best place to relax, walk and exercise in contact with nature and art!

Chris daCosta

First time back at the zoo since the updates. Zoo is expensive compared to others of it's size but the attractions and animal habitats have been improved.

Lisa B “Lisa B” A

Fun time at the annual Boo at The Zoo at Assiniboine Park ????. Enjoyed the live performances ????????????????????‍♂️????????‍????‍????

Earl Rina

It is a good sunny day at assiniboine park zoo together with family and friends

Jarrod Jaskow

Assiniboine Park is a Winnipeg Gem. Designed when the city had great vision architecturally and maintained for our enjoyment (even improved) over the years, I will always drive through, picnic at and walk around this beautiful place. Recently becoming a dog person again, now I love going to the trails and taking my puppy for long walks. Thank you Winnipeg for Assiniboine Park, so much to do and see!! I could do without the Zoo, however - sorry, I don't believe in them anymore but to each their own! I did enjoy it as a kid... even though a part of me somehow knew monkeys in Winnipeg makes no sense ;)

Lily Snow

It was awsome. Even with everything that's been going on we still managed to have a great time. Thanks to everyone at Assiniboine Park Zoo.

Leila Copes

Great zoo! The staff and volunteers are knowledgeable, and there are a wide variety of happy and healthy animals to see. Wonderful place for families, and everyone who loves animals and nature. Perfect activity for good weather.

Erin P

Many highlights at this spacious facility but the Journey to Churchill exhibit is amazing. On a good day, you can watch polar bears wander through the large habitat and play in the water. I don't know if there are any other facilities that show so much respect for these amazing bears.

Navjot Kheeva

Beautiful place to go specially for kids ♥️staff is very helpful and they also do little activities for children which make children fresh in this summer season . Highly recommend ????visit this place once.

BrendaLee R

Had fun with my sister at the zoo! Polar bears were active, saw the wolves being fed. Best time here so far!!

izzy strong

Nice place for kids to see animals closely

Frank Rinella

This is a proper theme park. Great family visit. Really surprised that a smaller city has a proper theme park style zoo. Lots of assistance for families to get around with tram , push strollers, and lots of food stops. The tundra grill is a great stop for lunch or snack to see the polar bears. Amazing. The polar enclosure is worth it. Great park. Top notch. Recommended

Colleen Desmarais

Loved the zoo as a kid and enjoy seeing its evolution now that I bring my little one there!

KitKatz

It was a fun experience. I went today with my parents, my sister and my nephews. The staff there were really friendly people. Due to the whole COVID-19 thing though, we weren't allowed to do certain things. The stingray exhibit was awesome. However the one thing that kinda disappointed me was some of the animals that I REALLY wanted to see weren't there. Like the wolves and arctic foxes.

Kitin Cayona

Be sure to wear comfortable shoes that are meant for long walks because this place is huge. You can buy the tickets online and skip the lines. They also have kiosks for the tickets onsite that only accepts credit or debit card. But the line …

silpa sethy

Nice place to go with family and friends. It can take upto 2 and half hours to go around the zoo. Many animals were sleeping when we went like polar bear and Lynx. I personally felt it was very dry for the animals with limited water supply.

Terry Peristerakis

Love the changes that our Zoo has made since I was a child and started coming here. While it is not a huge zoo, they have a lot of variety, and they have animals specially selected to handle Manitoba winters too. The new enclosure for the wolves is really nice and right when you come into the park, on the way to the polar bears and seals. The arctic foxes are really fun, the tiger enclosure is great as are the red pandas in the tropical house. Definitely a fun family destination, and even better in the summer when more of the animals are out and walking around.

Evan Beaupre

Dinosaur exhibition is sweet but has become the main attraction witch is sad I think most of the animal areas need to be upgraded and whoever decoy to put the picknic eating area near the horse barns shod go have lunch there one day ????????????

Mohidul Arefin

I loved it! They have all the things that you need to see over there. I didn't get the chance to see the tiger. Probably he's shy. But I will meet that guy next time! Great decorations and arrangements. It's absolutely fantastic place. Good job! And the volunteers, omg they are so nice..

Jarrod Doern

I’m going to address a few issues here with some people leaving angry comments. 1. It is hot in the summer. If you are hot. The animals are hot. Many animals cannot sweat, so they relieve heat by panting. They are not hyperventilating. If you want to see the animals when they are more lively and active, I suggest attending during the spring or autumn months. 2. Every animal in the zoo has access to clean drinking water at all times. If they didn’t, the zoo would be shut down. Animal welfare agencies do exist and routinely inspect zoo facilities to ensure adequate welfare is provided to the animals at all times. 3. In case you weren’t aware, there has been a global pandemic during the past year that has, unfortunately, negatively affected the zoos ability to carry on certain indoor operations as normal. If you’ve gone out and expected absolute normality while visiting the zoo over the past year, you might want to re-evaluate your expectations given the current circumstances. I have been to this zoo many times since I was a child. I can say with utmost certainty that this establishment has gone above and beyond to improve the lives of its animals, year after year. They are still constantly making renovations and improvements, as well as adding new exhibits. Yes, the animals live in cages. But these exhibits are top notch compared to the horrendous conditions I have seen in photographs of other zoos. Many of these animals live extended, happier, and healthier lives without constant fear of predators at the zoo. I’ve had a great time every time I’ve visited the zoo. I can’t wait for my next visit this spring!!

J Van Went

If you want to enjoy some time in an evening with your family and friends, you can definitely play bocce ball in the park.

Mark Moffit

Spent 5 and a half hours at the Zoo. Animals were active in the morning. Polar Bears, Seals and wolves were a highlight for our nephew. Had a wonderful time. The dinosaur exhibits were interesting and right up a seven year olds alley. My wife will steal a red panda one day. Facilities were in good shape, signage was fairly informative and volunteers and staff were great.

Amanda Cyr

The place is so peaceful, would suggest to get food from the small shop at the enterence instead of the Cargo bar. Will save some money.

Jass Maan

Wonderful place to chill !!! U can sit by the side of river and enjoy the sounds of running water , chirping birds, the park is really beautiful and very nicely organized ????????????????

Natalya Karabelska

Great place for a walk. Polar bear exhibit is amazing

David Brown

Wow great to be back at the "new and improved" Assiniboine Zoo! Lots of new displays and modern new look and what an amazing Polar bear experience now! You can walk under the swim tank in a clear tunnel and really see the bears up close in their elements. Then the new restaurant has a panoramic view of the enclosure where again you can see the bears up close and personal I their large habitat. An amazing experience and definitely must-see when visiting Winnipeg!

Teresa K.

Had an enjoyable time. Nice spacious walkways.

Isaak Wall Wall

It's the right place to have fun with your family, build up relationships between parents and children. Many diferentes animals, tasty snacks and ice cream. "It's recommended for everyone who needs fresh air"

Jordan White

Awesome polar bear exhibit! I could have sat their all day. Everything else was great too.

RF Digital

Why does Winnipeg’s only zoo need yet another Google review? Well i haven’t been to the Zoo in nearly 20 years and I was blown away by the number of exhibits and vastness of the area. This is certainly an adventure you need to be ready for. After spending close to 4 hours wandering around I can definitely say I got my admissions worth. Whether going with a group of friends or alone with your camera it’s an absolute blast. Pack your snacks and bottles of water if you’ve got kids because it is truly an all day excursion.

Akash Lalka

This review is about the Nature Park playground: it's amazing! All of the equipment is in excellent shape, there is an assortment of activities, and everything is very, very clean. Highly recommended! (Note: bathrooms near the parking lot and picnic area are not always open or in the best shape, so use the ones in the pavilion.)

Dave Miller

My 7 year old had a good time. I feel like our zoo is a little weak compared to others I've seen. On a bad day, 90% of the time is walking and seeing the man-made stuff and 10% is squinting to see a sleeping animal at the back of the cage. But this time was pretty good. We saw a bunch of animals close up. There's always construction, so maybe we'll see more improvments over time. Some things are not available thanks to Covid. But overall there is lots to see and I'm thankful to have a zoo.

Good park zoo not big , you can enjoy nice time

Robert LeSage

This is a beautiful park with a scenic trail. We love watching the wildlife here. It's our go to place for a nice stroll in the evening. A special mention is the delicious soft serve ice cream they serve at the cafe that one must not miss in summer.

Stephanie Jemielity

Great place to take kids/ go as a family in Winnipeg. With the new exhibit Journel to Churchill and other renovations they are slowly doing, it is turning around the park and updating it. Lots of bathrooms throughout park, shady pinic areas, tundra grill restaurant, and water bottle refill tanks.

Em D

A great place for walking and biking with your family. You can even get a 2 and 4 seat bike for rent near the bridge. Keeping social distancing is easy while enjoying the nature. If you like an ice cream, just across the bridge on Portage, or enjoy the coffee shop or the bar in the heart of the Assiniboine Park near the pond. The English garden is always a lovely place for photos with sculptures and flowers.

I made my first trip to the Assiniboine Park Zoo since all the new construction and exhibits. Wow! It is really a world-class site. The Journey to Churchill is amazing. The Heavy Horse Center is a treat. The blending of the old and the new is wonderful.

Ryan Gugenheimer

Lots of construction currently happening. Polar bear exhibit is good. New tiger and wolf habitats are nice. Has a butterfly garden.

Jennifer Aquino

Such an absolutely beautiful, peaceful place. Beautiful English Garden & Sculpture is great. I loved walking around.

Dustin Gerbrandt

It was a great time with all the kids vary friendly and helpful staff! I was also vary happy with how helpful the staff was to my handi caped mother

Dean Kamminga

It was good to get out to the zoo again. It was a lot of walking but worth it. We saw a fox get fed by a keeper, the tiger was active, the seals put on a show, and more. We also saw some animals that I didn't know existed like the Sichuan Takin.

Kevin McCormick

My first time since they redid it and I was just in awe. They did an amazing job even have wolves now ( my favorite animal ) I really enjoyed it. Took our time and looked at all the open exhibit's. Well worth the trip!

Darren Seekings

Boo at the Zoo was great..Looking forward To Christmas lights

mike F

This is a very beautiful park with numerous trails, large open grass areas, a zoo, a steam train (only in summer), and a new botanical garden.

Chris Evans

Lots of animals, very scenic... Great place to spend alot of time with the kids

Bruce Hoadley

Absolutely amazing! Went for the light show

banafshful

The Leaf and the new Diversity Gardens are an awesome addition to Winnipeg's greatest park.

Shelley Wilson

They did a fabulous job with ZooLights.

Kevin Houle

Great place. Would be good if they had more hydration stations along the outdoor walkways.

Jessie Probeeb

Loved the polar bears. I traveled just to see them. My family spent 6 hours in the zoo. Lots to see and lots to do.

We loved the zoo! We went on a Friday and there were barely any people. So many great animals and we loved the polar bears! Highly recommend, especially if you have kids :)

Snowflake 16

The zoo lights were unreal, the staff were on point, people were respectful, it was amazing! The zoo and the companies involved exceeded expectations!

Jose Cruz

Amazing place to learn and spend time with family.

No polar bear in the water tank. But there was this nice white bucket that a polar bear may have crushed.

kurtis kivi

So proud of our park! It has really turned into a must see attraction! Come and see! My kids really love the dinosaur exhibit!

Eric Johns

Went for boo at the zoo. Even though we had a time to enter due to Covid restrictions the zoo was in incredibly full of people. I feel like they should figure out a better way to have a turn over in guests. Our time was 8:30, but I feel like the people with earlier times stayed a lot longer than we were able to. Which made the place that much more crowded.

Jon Dunne

love the zoo we have had memberships for years. We love how they continue to add new features. We never get tired of going there.

zachary lord

It has many various breeds of animals, such as Tigers, Giraffes and a wierd species of animals they have is the Gibons, the gift shop is nice but they have wandering peacocks everywhere. Plus they also have a underwater walk way with seals and polar bears.

Eric W

Excellent zoo for seeing Polar Bears. Most animals were our but some were not seen. Overall good value for you money. I tip my hat to the volunteers who really take their job seriously

Rachel H

While the Assiniboine Park Zoo has come a long way in improvements from the days of free entry, there is still plenty of room for growth to justify the $21.50 entrance fee. There are certainly fewer animals, but it works to the benefit of the zoo as several of the exhibits are much larger and more open, rivaling many of the more prestigious zoos in the country. The crown jewel remains the polar bear exhibit, where one can stand within a clear, plexiglass tunnel and watch the bears swim and play. There is still much work that needs to be done, but it is definitely worth the visit.

M Mandal

had a great experience when we went. it was a slightly cooler day, so all the animals were out and active. the staff were all friendly and eager to share knowledge about the all animals in their care. we would definitely visit again!

Chris Palahicky

Love the zoo. Nice variety of animals, and also educational.

David Buchholz

Lots of animals, had a great time.

jafar faraj

The gardens are beautiful and a pleasure to walk around. Once the giant greenhouse is complete it will be a national attraction.

Ariel Antonio

The only place where I love to play cricket

Debra Tokar

We covered every square inch of the zoo and found the staff and facilities clean and well tended. The staff were very helpful with directions. Totally enjoyable!!!

Kevin Colindres

I loved it, specially the new section with the dinosaurs. I loved that experience and specifically cause is one of the last sections so when you leave, the only thought on your head is of how great the visit to the zoo was

Yu-Ying

Don’t hesitate to buy a season pass, it’s pretty worthy! Take a walk sometimes or enjoy a day with your friends or family.

Michael Armas

Great zoo. Go here every couple of years and it's well worth the admission fee. If you haven't gone in a long time, the renovations from the old zoo are a drastic improvement! Seeing a polar swimming in a clear tunnel above you is amazing! The animatronic dinosaurs are a cool recent addtion.

cc M

Very nice park. Big playground for kids! Wide variety of beautiful flowers, etc!

Kody Webber

Spent the evening walking around the zoo looking at the lights. Our kids loved looking at everything and running around, highly recommend to any parents looking for an outing for thier family.

Larry John Laus

Visited during the summer months. Had a great time with the kids. A bit on the pricy side and quite a few of the attractions were either closed or animals were not just there so that was a disappointment. However seeing the polar bears, seals, butterflies and stingrays was a treat. There were shuttles going around the park. But needed the exercise and it is quite a good walk. Nice to see it again have not been here for a few years now. And probably will hold off a few years again just because of our experience.

Roman Kornelsen

I was attending the 2018 Terry Fox Run. Wonderful trip out. Weather turned great sunny September Sunday.

Tara Devlin (Tara D)

Checked out Zoo lights at Assiniboine Park Zoo and it was great! The regular zoo is definitely worth a visit or two as well. We usually go 2-3 times per year as the kids love it and they can run around and burn off steam. If you have a family that is 4+ just buy the family membership and go a couple times.

Catherine Sproat

Winnipeg's premiere park. Lots of open spaces for group activities. On the south side of the pavilion you can usually catch a cricket match or two, when the current COVID Public Health Orders are lifted. There is a great children's playground on the west side of the Pavilion. If you like you can take a relaxing stroll stroll through the English Garden and the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden. There is also the steam train that you can take a ride through part of the forest inside the park. I only gave it a single star as the main attraction, the Assiniboine Park Zoo is way too expensive for most families. Expect to shell out $21.50 for adults, $18.75 for seniors and students and $12.00 for children aged 3 - 12 years old.

Bree S

The zoo has come a long way over the years. Much better, more spacious and natural enclosures for many of the animals. Still some work to do!

Brian Hirsche

There are better zoo's in the world, but it was always an enjoyable experience. The exit setup could be improved. It is confusing and you get mixed up with people trying to enter. They why it was setup during Covid was much better. Completely set apart from the entrance and clearly marked. Would love to see a return to that setup. In all we enjoy going and will renew or membership in the coming months.

David Hayes

Beautiful park. Amazing gardens, excellent trails and lots of scenery.

Matt Thiessen

Too many empty enclosures. Not as many monkeys as there use to be. But some are very nice! Polar bears were lots of fun.

Helen Stockburn

Great service. Very clean when I was in there. Food was quickly brought out. Not always the case though.

Lane F

So much fun! A must see when in Winnipeg! Not to be missed.

Golnar NSK

I am one of those people who doesn't find going to zoo a fun activity, I can't tolerate watching animals in cage. But this one is worth a visit! It's really impressive, the way they have ensured every animal lives in an environment tailor-made for them.

Stephen Brisbois

Boo at the Zoo was good, some things better than the old ones, some could be improved upon. But the kids enjoyed it which is the important part.

Mohamed RIDHA

Fantastic place to be absolutely visited , we enjoyed our day there !

felix lee

A very nice way to spend the morning.

D

Boo at the zoo: They closed the crossrodes food hub at 10. Not enough time if you buy tickets for 8:30 or later. Lines are super long, too many people let in at once. All I wanted was a sammich at 10:05.

G Lingelbach

Boo at the Zoo is wonderful and so much fun! A must visit if you love Halloween.

n tofigh

Most of animals weren't there. Many cages were evacuated for different reasons such as covid or vet visit. That is understandable but They should have noticed at the entrance. We paid for watching empty cages.

Alvin Lee

Nice zoo,

Cherie McLaughlin

So. Non-Vaxxed are welcome to the Zoo. But not allowed to Boo at the Zoo. Are you government mandated to do this to punish the unvaxxed or just hypocrites all around?

Roy Benedik

Nice to see the animals out and about. Great spring day.

Liam O'Brien

The staff are all helpful and friendly and they are well organised -re Covid prevention.

Knut Reinertz

Best entertainment for some 23 Cad in town. Polar bears were very active ( though not swimming) and few visitors, so 1st row views to their playfight

John

Journey to Churchill Exhibit was awesome!

Brooke Neufeld

It was a wonderful place to visit. The animals have a good enviroment to live in and really informative vollenteers at the park to ask questions. I had a great time.

Lauren M

The new additions and expansion are amazing! You can really get up close and personal with the bears and seals, the viewing tunnel where they swim is amazing. A lot different from when I was a kid. I miss Debbie, the old polar bear that lived at the zoo for many years. But what they have done with everything so far is really great. Volunteers and staff are all very warm and friendly. The play area in the restaurant is really great too, my little one enjoyed it very much and honestly I did as well, it was clean and I could actually fit in it and play with her. I'm giving 4 stars because there is still a ton of construction going on and some of the facilities are dated. But it is absolutely worth the trip to see the Journey to Churchill exhibit.

Ross Schellenberg

Staff and volunteers were very welcoming and helpful. My son loved the dinosaurs they had set up.

Colleen Renaud

We checked out the new Diversity Gardens at the Park today. It was a beautiful fall day and the gardens still looked very nice. There were lots of people out enjoying the day, but it didn't feel crowded at all. There are several walking and bike paths, and plenty of benches and seating if you need a rest. Very enjoyable!

bnp01975

I haven't been at the zoo for awhile but the renovations they have done are excellent!

Matt Murdock

We have a yearly membership and recently went for Boo at the Zoo. It was our first time going and we had a lot of fun. The kids loved it.

Vivi Sam

Lots of new exhibits if you haven't been in a while, nice day out with the family

Tihlor Frohlich

Incredible place to visit. Must see the polar bears and the butterfly enclosure

Amy Harris

The place has really changed and is a great place for children, young adults and even seniors. The Park is the talk around Canada. The place has changed for the best and other businesses around the park there businesses have boomed because of it. It is huge to think this park is the best. Food and customer service is great. Atmosphere is fantastic. I totally recommend this Park to all locals and tourists. This park is the center of why Winnipeg Community is the best.

Evan Harrison

I was there for the lights I was very good

Deb Pryslak

Great experience. Wonderful zoo. Very friendly and helpful volunteers make the visit so much more. Love the animals. Good tasting food at the Artic Tundra restaurant, where else can you have lunch and watch Polar bears

Amanda Fry

Our family's favorite park

Geoff Miki

Beautiful space, good quality zoo. Polar bear exhibit is a must see! Currently, the "Lights at the zoo" is on until the end of the month. Wonderful display!

Mark Steiger

Good park for all ages, kids have a nice playstucture, some great slides with rope ladder, sand area. There is a zoo too in the park however that's not free, you have purchase a ticket to get in.

Tyson b

We went to boo at the zoo and it was great fun. My 5 year old loved the shows that were performed along the walkways. It was crowded so social distancing was impossible. A few more kid rides would of been nice but overall we had a great time. Thanks for the electric vehicle charging station that was a bonus.

Premjee Paul

I have visited the zoo many times. The polar bear habitat is amazing. They have some unique animals. If you are looking for tropical animals this is not the place to be.

Cats Lovely

You shoul be there at least before 3 pm. The zoo closes at 4 pm. I went to see giant polar bears swimming but they weren't there. Only i was manage to see baby ones.

bernadette mackenzie

This is a great zoo they have spent lots to change it out. The Churchill exhibit is great. They have a new extreme big exhibit too it was wonderful. A bit scary for the younger kids but well done .

Donnelle Loewen

Boo at the Zoo was great. Tons of people and a lot of little ones dressed up in costumes

Jenn Martens

Fantastic time, lots of animals active , great fun with the kids, ice cream at the stand! A wonderful day trip!

Randy Vogt

A great park to visit year round. There are lots of different areas to explore in the park!

Anna Owczarek

We had a good time. Since there are not a lot of shaded areas it is very easy too sun burn - bring plenty of sunscreen and water.

Haihong Wang

A great place to visit with family, we visited there in Sept. 2006.

Barry Nash

The place to be in Winnipeg on a beautiful night like tonight. It's an emerald paradise

SEAN COOK

Cannot say enough about the Assiniboine Park especially the English Gardens. If you have not had a chance to see these gardens you’re missing out. So many different flowers to take a second look some take your breathe away. While you walk through the gardens it’s so quiet you can hear a pin drop. Sure there are people but everyone so relaxed from the calmly presence of the garden tucked south west part of the park. Many wedding foto’s are taken with beautiful backgrounds to capture the moments. Enjoy the foto’s.

Brian Trinh

Great city zoo with polar bears, seals, a tiger, live dinosaurs, and even kangaroos. The property is clean, and paths have clear signage so you know where you're going.

Charlotte Watkins

Great place to just sit and watch the beautiful butterflies. Would recommend this for people who love butterflies..This exhibit is enjoyed by all ages. I definitely recommend this.

Ray Stephenson

Zoo lights exceptional ! Staff very friendley.

Bob Lavigne

Very well laid out. Liked the glass enclosure. Coukd see sea lions and polar bears swimming above. It's a large zoo. With different habitat. Very exciting. It's a must see. Bring your children they will love every minute of that zoo.

ward mcpherson

Very nice! Nice play ares for kids near the polar bear xhibit

David P

I’ve been to the Assiniboine Park Zoo a ton of times. It’s fairly small which matches the modest size of Winnipeg. But, it’s still pretty fun to attend. I’d say it’s more for families and kids than adults. And, as with any zoo, the experience is pretty random depending on the feeding/awake schedule of the animals. There are structured events throughout the day, so I’d recommend to first look that up online before visiting so you can see the animals when they are more active. The zoo often has monthly activities, so if you are a local Winnipegger, it’s worth plugging into one of those if you’re planning a visit.

Erika De Miguel

A must see! The polar bear exhibit is amazing!!! A walk through with bears all around you, the animals are a joy to see and their enclosures are so big!

shakila atayee

Huge park with lots of fun things to do not only for kids but for the whole family.

Nick Pizza

The park is nice, but the walking trails are limited. The large open grassy areas would be great for picnics, sports activities, etc. if there were not so many gopher holes. There is lots of parking, and huge plus is that it's close to several restaurants/attractions on Portage and it has a great restaurant (Qualico Center) on the premises.

Kristy Shumsky

Great place for the family! The new stingray exhibit is fantastic and my toddler had a great time putting his hand in the water and trying to touch them.

Sukhi

Nice place to spend time with animals and friends.

Eastwesteast

Great to experience. Kids loved it, especially the animatronic dinosaurs exhibit. Washrooms were clean.

Jeff Ehlers

Had such a fun day at the Zoo. Everything was active. Staff are very pleasant and helpful.

jerry maliwanag

What a great zoo for such a small market. Worth the cost of admission. Prices in the zoo for food are even reasonable, not inflated like other attractions. Went in the winter, don't worry about the cold. You don't walk far to get to a warm building to shelter from the cold. There are numerous bathroom facilities all over the zoo, and they are all clean. Many volunteers around to provide information on anything in the zoo.

Sushie Singh

The zoo is a great place to visit. There are limited numbers allowed in the enclosed buildings and every one goes in one direction around the zoo. The exhibits are easily accessible, even if you are in a wheelchair or have a stroller. Love the safety measures in place and signs all over to remind you to stay safe. The dinosaur exhibit was the highlight of our visit but we enjoyed so much more.

Jas niz

Great place to spend one day picnic. My little one really enjoyed it.

Norman Fullerton

This park is beautiful and is my favorite thing about living in Winnipeg. Great place for a walk, lunch, and day with the kids.

Laurie Sodomlak

The air was crisp and the sky was blue so a perfect day for a visit to the Assiniboine Park Zoo. People traffic is directed in one direction around the zoo by all the great volunteers and signage. We were lucky to watch the polar bears and Azul Tiger at snack time.

Ashley Ann

So neat and fun. My kids had a blast. Not nearly as interactive as it would be without covid but still was such a fun time and visit. Would go back again someday.

Pedro Sandino Lora

My family loves to come here every now and then. Lots of animals and you never get tired of seeing the polar bears and seals swim. Watching 2 polar bears wrestle up close was unforgettable. Now that Aunt Sally's farm is open there are more things to see and do. It's fun to just sit under one of the trees and enjoy a snack from the food concession. I just wish the kids could pet some of the animals but overall it's always a fun family experience to come and visit here.

Samantha Gumbley

Zoo was a bit on the smaller side then I was used to, but was able to see almost all the animals in three hours

R.C. winter

Great zoo after having been to Churchill many times, the polar bear exhibit is very close to the real topography.

Trevor Thiessen

Went on a busy day. Patience is a must. Always fun for the kids

Erika Doerr

Our kids enjoy the Zoo. The Winter lights are also fun. I love that they're adding new things. We finally bought a membership. This year we'll be there more often.

Rakesh Nair

Well managed during the pandemic

usman sadiq

Day was delightful during the Zoo visit, But Animal were very limited in numbers. Need to more introduce entertaining things with Various Animals and species.

Rose Park

Beautiful, loved all the Potted Mums. Have to go next summer to see it in full bloom. First time there October 2021.

Jean Berg

Definitely need to check out the Christmas lights at the zoo. Such a great experience for our kids!

Anas A

Amazing zoo, well maintained, very welcoming staff members!

Tom Searles

Nice weather volunteers were good Grandson liked the dinosaurs. Nice family outing.

Rylan Ewen

Went to boo at the Zoo with my friends and my Niece, it was a blast for everyone. Great entertainment, rides, and food!

Stacy Sunley

Such a beautiful park, visited the children's area and the statue gardens, and went for a walk along the paths. Lovely.

Greg Carlos

Didn't see that much but my son had fun so it's all good hehe

Angad Dhir

Wild life .. it was a good experience to visit zoo..

Crystal Scotland

It's gorgeous ????...I love the English garden, the kitchen garden....actually everything

Rita Nimchonok

Had my first outing trying to stay safe though. Things were very nice. Would of been perfect If people would pay attention to the circles and signs. Wouldn't it be great if we didn't have to have restrictions. So how about we all follow them now so we can live to go visit again. Don't touch the glass means don't touch the glass. Stay distance means exactly that. Time to get on board everyone. Holiday's are coming soon.Want to be with your families. Take care stay safe.

Rick Harrison

Great place to walk around with the kids and enjoy the day with the family and friends. A biking rental is also available in case you forgot to bring your own. There's also a nature playground for kids to enjoy and a nearby hot spot ice cream shop to go on a hot sunny day!

Byron Yadao

Nice, clean place. Beautiful, interesting animals. Appreciated the Dinosaur exhibits.

Tara Silver

I really liked that they had water bottle fill stations and washrooms throughout the zoo. Decent concessions serving Popsicles and lemonade as it was a warm day. Would like to go back, didn't get to see all the animals as it was fairly warm outside. ????

Kirsten Koch

Love this Park. One of the best in all of Canada.

Nathan Barton

This zoo was a decent zoo... wasn't the best, but also not the worse I went to. The Stingray exhibit was worth a star all by itself. A few cages were empty and there were no monkeys which was a disappointment

Karen Samson

Absolutely beautiful place. The patio was packed the geese are out ! Soak up the last bit of summer and head to the park for some yoga a nap or even a good book.

Miriam Glogowski

Very cute place to go with friends. Nice selection of beer wine and non alcoholic drinks. Beautiful view of the park and duck pond. Washrooms are also located close by.

Sean Choiselat

We recently took our niece for her second birthday and we absolutely loved it! The Journey to Churchill exhibit was a favourite. The snacks are guaranteed to satisfy. We unfortunately were unable to see the entire place as she fell asleep halfway through. Would recommend

KH Yu

nice zoo. since I went there during winter, not much outside animals can see.

Some Dude

Nice zoo to visit. Lots of room on the paths to social distance. Most of them are marked out to follow a route. Recommend going on a cooler day when the animals aren't all hiding from the heat in summer. Staff are all friendly and helpful.

Kelly Braden

A great way to spend a day with the grandkids. The kids loved the dinosaurs even though they were scary.

Diane S

The most beautiful park in Winnipeg attached to the zoo contains the Lyric outdoor theatre, the Leo Mole statue garden, Qualico Family centre overlooking an incredible pond with fountain filled with Canada geese and mallard ducks
