Interesting and great interact way to learn history.

Ryan Legault

Beautiful historic site

David Elias

Fantastic interpreters, great fun for the entire family. Beautiful setting, amazing history. Check website for info before going.

Boris Drojinsky

Marc Lapensée

A great place for a day visit.

Michael Farris

Plan to spend some time here. Take a picnic. Hang out on the grounds. It's dog-friendly, even in the buildings. Interpretive guides adopt characters. Play along. Many would do well in improv! Highlights are the Blacksmith and the Bake House. Demos are frequent. Obviously, a superb place to take kids. In 2017, admission is free. It will still be worth it when they charge again.

Fred Dugdale

Yak Man

Very well maintained and very good atmosphere with staff dressed in 1850's costume. All questions answered and dialogue is is done in period. This place is very historic and well decorated with authentic decor in all the buildings. A real pleasure to spend the afternoon taking in all there is to see and do. Bring a picnic lunch or dine in the Provisions cafe in the information centre. Well worth the price of admission.

Terry Proveau

Great Fort with staff dressed and well versed in the period of history represented. Reasonable admission prices and seniors discounted a bit.

My wife and I had a great time here looking back at the history of the Red River area and the traders that used these forts to trade with the local natives and metis in the area. All the informative hosts dressed in the costumes of the times was really nice to see. Well done!

(Translated) Immersive play is very interesting (Original) 浸入式的游玩很有意思

Carmen Valentic

The last time I had been here was when I was a kid in the early 1980s. Had we not been affected by the pandemic, the buildings would have been open to the public. The main building, though, would have been closed anyway due to a water leak. I really appreciated the great demeanor of the actors who were present to give us glimpses into the lives of the people who worked and resided in and around the fort. My favourite part was hearing the cook tell us what drinks he made there (tea, hot chocolate and even coffee though that wasn't typical in the late 1800s). There's more but I suggest you visit the Fort to find out.

Rhonda Swayda

Great tour of the buildings with Justin- including great ghost stories. Lovely look at the days of the fur trade.

Bill Johnson

A great immersive history lesson. We learn something new every time we are here!

(Translated) The guides are always nice and friendly, and the site itself is a joy to explore! (Original) Les guides sont toujours gentil et amicable, et le site lui même est un joie d'explorer!

June Makowski

We hadn't been in 29 years, some things have not changed (yahoo) but many new things to experience that were so wonderful. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. I especially liked the workers village just outside the wall. The gardens and people working there are exceptional.

Dan Mitchell

Beautiful location, lots of Canadian History and one of the first stone built forts in Canada. It is a great spot for a picnic which I recommend because the food at the restaurant is average at best.

Linda van de Laar

Very important historical site for anyone visiting Winnipeg.

J Joseph

Peter Meadows

Very well done. Roleplaying is great atmosphere.

Colleen Jennifer-Lynn

Beautiful place for a wedding!! Huge tent and you are protected from all sorts of weather!! Food is delicious too!

A group of us cycled to Lower Fort Gary this week. They were still closed due to a major renovation of the site. When it is done in a few weeks it looks like it will be great with many upgrades and improvements. Also their summer staff were on site and going through a native plants orientation, so I expect that the interpretive experience will also be good.

Patrick Villacorta

Was 12 years since I last went here. The last time, it was more crowded due to free Canada Day admission. There was a special activity/scavenger hunt for the kids due to National Historic site day. The park is populated by costumed actors re-enacting life back at the fort's heyday. They also happily provide information and answer any questions visitors may have. There are also special activities. There was a group taking part in making bannock and butter. The site contains many structures, each displaying/preserving the purpose it used to serve (homes, blacksmith, store, clinic, etc). A nice peak into life when the country was still being built.

Lukas

I like this place. Sadly it is closed but you can easy enter it anyways we had a nice day here and also there where a bunch of others in as well

Oliver Froese

Nathan Dueck

Love this place all the time. Hope they don't modernize it to much.

Russell Watts

Been there several times, it is currently having restoration to the Big House so it will be closed for the rest of the 2017 season.

Carolyn Weiss

Awesome place. Fun and exciting! Great personnel!

Susan N.

I love our national parks. They're always very well maintained and lower fort Garry was no different. Cheap entrance fees and the staff go out of their way to answer your questions and show you how something worked in the mid 1800s. They play the part as best as they can.

Emma Francis

Despite the covid restrictions, we were able to fully explore the grounds around the buildings in the fort. Interpreters working there shifted in and out of character, telling us about the history of Treaty 1 land and the impact HBC had on the land, trading, and relationships with the various indigenous and Metis people living in the area. I felt it was a balanced recounting of Manitoba's history and I appreciated that many of the people working there spoke of their mixed indigenous and european ancestry. It helped me to understand how complicated and nuanced our shared past really is. Thank you for opening my eyes and helping me to learn more in such a loving and gracious way!

Percy C.

A nice, neat educational place to learn about the past. I wish every exhibit was open. Good place to bring the kids as well to learn some history.

Siusan Hample

It was wonderful to everything again, and the interpreters are amazing. I think it actually was nicer interacting with them outdoors, rather than in the small buildings. The Treaty One displays were well done.

Robert Decelles

The passion for sharing historical facts is truly appreciated. Definitely a great place to take your family.

Joanne Racette

Gordon Challes

Most of the buildings were manned by staff in period costume who acted out the activities of people from the fort's history. The main governor's house was closed when we visited which was unfotunate. There is a shuttle service for visitors with mobility issues but it was not well publicized or offered to people with walkers. It is a long walk from the visitors centre to the Fort. The cafeteria was quite nice with reasonable prices. You can even have events there such as weddings with a tent for receptions of up to 300 people.

Michael Howard

Andrew D

A must visit!!

ron gillingham

A fantastic day out A super clean site very educational and the staff were very friendly and helpful The rein actors were amazing they new there history of the characters they played and the buildings and were very friendly Highly recommended

Trevor C

I live only a couple of miles from this National Historic Site yet I haven't been there since a grade 4-5 field trip it's change a lot from what I remember but for the better truly a gem just 20 minutes north of the city once again well worth a visit you never know what you'll see there but I can pretty much guarantee you'll enjoy yourself

Bob Linsdell

Interpreters are in 1851 costume and roles and are very knowledgeable

Awesome Miller

Aaron Kor

Brenda Konchuk

Ryan Cormack

A beautiful large stone fort with well-informed actors in each building who stay in character the whole time and provide an excellent background of early pioneer life on the prairies. It's a lot of fun and great learning experience for local history buffs. A must see for all tourists and foreigners, especially families. Best to go during the summer months. Plan for about 2 to 3 hours to walk through it all. Bring a camera for really nice photos. There is also a small interpretive center and restaurant nearby.

Laura LeBlanc

Dimitris Protsios

A must visit place if you are in Winnipeg. The stuff is doing a great job recreating the history of the era and the place itself. Knowledgable and friendly, they were eager to answer our questions. The exhibits were very nice and took us back in time. They were also serving awesome freshly baked cookies made in wood burning oven.

Irene Ball

Ian Heartfield

Really neat place to go spend an afternoon with the kids; make a fire with flint, make a candle, watch the blacksmith...

Waldo Berg

Great historic site.

Vicki Rempel

Costumed role play of typical daily activites in the historical height of the fur trade. Interpretive centre, theatre, gift shop, the actual original stone fort, structures and buildings, such as a tipi encampment and a blacksmith shop.

Very informative and the staff dressed in period costume did a great job.

Went during the middle of the week in the summer so not many people around, which was okay by us. Always a great experience when we come here! The staff are informative and explained many things. The blacksmith made a nail for our out of town guests and pictures are welcomed! Love the history of Lower Fort Garry.

A must visit in Manitoba .. friendly staff and so much history

Nancy Nguyen

Nice historical site. A bit difficult to walk around during the winter with all of the ice, but it's really nice during the summer with the lush green grass and flowers. The museum is nice to visit. Definitely recommend going during the day when there are tours going on. It's a decent sized fort, so you have lots of ground to explore.

Ravi Anttal

Good place for photography

celena funk

Dalton Reimer

Had a great tour, but I think the actors could do a little better yet. But it was hot and everyone must have been hot and bothered in their layers of clothes.

Roland Lefebvre

Grandaughter loved the interaction experience. Restaurant closed to early

Daniel Timmerman

Beautiful place to experience architecture and history that's close to Winnipeg.

Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site is a wonderful place to visit which takes you back to the mid-nineteenth century. Staff is very welcoming, the buildings are in good shape and the natural environment is also beautiful. It's certainly worth a detour and one of the most beautiful tourist attractions in Manitoba.

Lovely place to explore and learn about canadian history

Doug Anderson

This is a well done NHS. We love learning about Settler Canadian history first hand at places like this. It helps to visualize what that history was like, at least for the types of people that would have been associated with a place like this. It's a big place, so give yourself plenty of time to walk around it as well as interact with the staff and view the exhibits.

Veronica Lee

Geoffrey Bishop

Love taking our kiddos here to explore the well-preserved site of Lower Fort Garry. This is a national historic site that has just reopened with live interpreters dressed in mid-19th century costume. Currently, you are unable to go into any of the historical buildings but many of the contents are on display outside. Treaty One is 150 years old this year and there is a special activity set up around this. It's a beautiful way to spend 2-3 hours. Restrooms are open.

Susann Sinclair

Well maintained grounds. Beautiful buildings. Very authentic looking.

Megan Wegert

We love lower fort Garry! It's a fantastic place to take our family . The tour guides are fantastic and stay in character the whole time. We try and make it out every year.

Frank Hay

Buildings represent how they were in 1851. Very well done with personnel in period costumes talking as if they were in that year. A must go if history is of any interest to you.

(Translated) The site is very interesting and I have no doubts about the dedication of the guides, however if you intend to take the tour in French, be prepared for a very painful experience. The quality of French spoken by all of the guides who were present during our visit was completely appalling. In addition to inserting a bunch of English-speaking words into it, their speech completely mocked basic grammar rules, mixed the feminine and masculine, and they often had indecipherable pronunciation. This led to an almost incomprehensible visit, but reflects the pitiful state of the French language in Manitoba. (Original) Le site est très intéressant et je ne mets aucunement en doute le dévouement des guides, par contre si vous avez l’intention de faire la visite en français, préparez-vous à une expérience tout à fait douloureuse. La qualité du français parlé de tous les guides qui étaient présents lors de notre visite était complètement exécrable. En plus d’y insérer une panoplie de mots anglophones, leur discourt se moquait totalement des règles de grammaire de base, mélangeait le féminin et le masculin et ils avaient souvent une prononciation indéchiffrable. Ceci a mené à une visite quasi-incompréhensible, mais reflète bien l’état pitoyable de la langue française au Manitoba.

It was a really cool place with rich history and events, but some of the actors seemed to be annoyed that they were working there, and gave the inquiring children I brought from my summer camp clipped, condescending answers. I enjoyed going and so did the kids, however the attitudes of the actors were a bit of a letdown. Recommended, especially for history buff adults.

Debra Zacharias

Lots of history buildings are well maintained

Great place. Cool fort

Tony Fast

Historical re-inactments are wonderful... actors pay the part of the inhabitants of the 1860's... they treat you us a guest come to visit... hard to get them to break character. Makes for a great time.

Barry Hodson

Beautiful facility, and incredibly knowledgeable staff. Only downside was that, due to Covid, there wasn't access to the inside of the buildings.

Mornington

Very good place,the Staffs are very friendly !

Stef Man

It's an absolutely beautiful place that's worth visiting. The fact that the original walls are still present is really cool. It's unfortunate that due to covid we weren't able to go in the buildings but walking around was just as cool. Definitely a must stop.

Michelynne Gomez

Despite not being able to enter buildings during Covid, Parks Canada has set up outdoor stations to share historical story and fact...actors are knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The emphasis this year on Treaty 1 really helped me to want to learn more about our complicated history and the reality of the Indigenous experience from the time of the Treaties, and how it has affected their people. A beautiful spot, well worth the visit.

Me and my kids enjoyed visiting this venue. The personnel/actors on site are dressed in old fashioned clothing and even speak in old fashioned English. There is a working blacksmith and bakery. I have also played a few games with my kids. It won't be interesting to toddlers though, IMHO. Kids starting age 4-6 have a better chance to like the place and enjoy the visit.

catherine HD

Always a great place to visit! Very reasonable (cheap) to get in. The costumed staff are fun and knowledgeable in their history. The store has excellent ideas for stocking stuffers if you shop before September long weekend.

The work Parks Canada has done to make this a fantastic experience during a pandemic is exceptional. It's quite possible that the overall visitor experience is better now than in the past, even though you aren't allowed in the buildings. I would encourage any young families who need a staycation event here in southern Manitoba to make a trip out to Lower Fort Garry.

I hate this! My socials teacher is making me research this.

Marco Palumbo

People in costume that give you a quick lesson in life in the 1800's. Lots of interesting things to see and learn. They had a blacksmith working some iron. Some women baking a pie and others who will give you a tour. Its perfect for newcomers to Canada!

It's come a long way since I went there in grade school. Not a place that you think of going to unless you are entertaining company from out of town. Even I can honestly say even though I only live about 5-6 miles from my house I only been there once in the 10 years I've lived in St. Andrews. Well worth an afternoon with the wife.

Scott Whiting

Sadly the main house is closed for renovations. Areas like the bakery are closed off at times for paying customers. Bad plan. Lower Fort Gary is also not a place for dogs. The actors in costume was a hit with our family.

Roger Harder

Staff is really friendly and plays their 1851 roles perfectly giving you a good idea of how life was back then!

Bestrice Henderson

Roger Thiessen

The reenactors here all did an excellent job, was very interesting touring the Fort..keep it up!

Michael Franklin

This is one of the best historic sites to visit in Canada, second only to the Fortress at Louisbourg in Nova Scotia. There are lots of costumed interpreters who are good at their job and have fun to engage kids in a number of different activities.
