One of the best things Winnipeg has to offer! From the birds and bison, to the gift shop, cafe, interpretive center and all it’s amazing programs, workers and volunteers; it’s nirvana. Cheap too for a day of outdoor education and serenity! Or free if your like me and walk/bike in!! I could go on for pages about how special this place is. If I could give more than 5 ⭐️, it would be infinitely (and still not enough). This is literally my happiest place on earth. ☀️🌲
FortWhyte is a place that never disappoints. It is equally fun to go during each season and see how much the landscape changes. Kids can have fun looking for bugs and learning about Manitoban animals.
I recently visited this place and was completely fascinated by the beauty and serenity that this place offers. From the moment I entered, I perceived a feeling of tranquility that is difficult to find elsewhere. This is a real gem for nature lovers and those who wish to immerse themselves in an environment rich in biodiversity. The variety of plants, trees is extraordinary. I loved how each section is precisely curated, allowing visitors to explore and discover the wonders of global flora. Every corner offers a new educational and visual experience. This is also a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. Strategically placed benches offer quiet corners to sit and contemplate your surroundings.
In conclusion, I highly recommend a visit to this place to anyone who wishes to spend time immersed in the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom. It is an experience that I deeply appreciated and that I will certainly repeat.

Awesome trails and lots of greenery. Good place for watching goose, ducks and other animals and a lot of history. Bison viewing is available. Great place to spend weekends and watch sunset. the museum has a lot of taxidermy stuff of owls, bears, bison, deer, cougar, foxes and so on.
Entry tickets for two is about $21 dollars if you are not a member. It is worth it.

One of the many great things about living in charleswood ! We take our dog for a walk here every day and is walking distance from our home.
Excellent place to experience trail walking and biking. Bison viewing so close to the city is awesome. The animals and arts in the museum are so lively. The flooding boardwalk trail is so nice.
I loved seeing the Bison!
The trail was nice, easy and accesible. The trail provided nice information about bison and the indigenous people.

Went on the north side of the trail(close to Sterling Lyon Parkway) and it’s a pretty solid trail. Seems like it’s mainly used for bikes since that’s all I saw but it’s a good walking trail too. Didn’t visit the rest of FortWhyte Alive but definitely will in the future.
Had so much fun! Lots of activities to do like kayaking, paddle boats, biking, etc. There’s also a cafe inside and the staffs were really accomodating. This is the perfect getaway within the city.
Visited here in the winter to try out snowshoeing. We rented from them and also brought our own snowshoes. It was fun going on their trails and on the frozen-over ponds and lakes. We even encountered a couple of deer in their forest trail. After snowshoeing we spent time on theit toboggan run. They have large toboggans on-site and these are free to use once you are already in the park. Of course, it's always nice seeing the bison enclosure. They also have a shop, cafe and a small museum.
Very nice and peaceful place to run, walk, bike, and you can walk your dogs. Trails is 6.5km long...
Beautiful spot for a bike ride or hike!
Fortwhyte Alive is the perfect quintessential Canadian winter afternoon hang out. Snow shoes. Paths. Investigating a frozen Marsh. The lakes were mainly frozen. The sledding run is terrifyingly fun (or just terrifying depending on who you are). The interactive center is excellent - love staring into the dark, deep waters at some local fish. Great afternoon.
Morning winter hike. It wasn't too icy when I visited so my poles where not necessary. Lots of deer walking around and birds chirping around. Fun place to visit and walk around in any season.
Lovely trail. Went with the wife and dog for a peaceful stroll through this quiet area. Few cyclists and other trailblazers, but car traffic on nearby streets was minimal. Trail was dry as of Spring 2022
Grew up near the Harte trail. Very nice for running and biking. Unfortunately over the last few years it’s become quite busy due to the new developments. Lots of wildlife to see and a nice way to be in nature while still in the city
Very clean and wonderful trail. Very good trail for walking or cycling. Rest room is available in the middle of trail. So nice to see lot of deers around
Nice kept trail...but a little narrow so with all the bikes you need to really watch your little ones ahead of u and behind you...but still very peaceful....and a nice escape from everyday life...
found it accidentally and it was great for hiking. For sure it could be more awesome in the summer with greens.
