Looking for the ultimate summer outing? From our stunning gardens to delicious dining and family-friendly attractions, Assiniboine Park offers something for everyone. Here's how we'd spend the perfect day exploring.
Explore Assiniboine Park
Spend time discovering more of what Assiniboine Park has to offer. Follow the scenic pathways to the Riley Family Duck Pond and Riparian Forest, let the kids burn off energy at the Nature Playground, or cruise through the Park on a rental bike from Bee2Gether Rental Bikes.
Need a break from the heat? Step inside the Pavilion and enjoy the art galleries, open free of charge.
Stroll Through the Park’s Gardens
Enjoy a beautiful walk through the English Garden and Leo Mol Sculpture Garden. Meander along winding pathways lined with vibrant flowers, mature trees, and remarkable works of art. It's exciting to see all the colourful flowers in full bloom.

The Leaf
Head to The Leaf, Assiniboine Park's spectacular indoor horticultural attraction. Wander through four stunning indoor biomes and experience the beauty of the Shirley Richardson Butterfly Garden, where beautiful butterflies flutter among lush tropical plants. Enjoy our beautiful interpretation of a picnic outdoors at our summer display, Prairie Picnic, until September 13.
Then step outside to explore the Outdoor Gardens at The Leaf. The Kitchen Garden is filled with fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers carefully tended by our horticulture team. The produce grown here is harvested weekly and featured in dishes at Gather Craft Kitchen & Bar, creating a truly local garden-to-table experience.
Be sure to explore the other outdoor gardens as well, including the Johnston Family Seasonal Garden, Sensory Garden, and Indigenous Peoples Garden.

If you're looking to enjoy one of Winnipeg's most unique dining experiences, head to Gather Craft Kitchen & Bar for delicious food and handcrafted cocktails.
The menu showcases fresh, locally sourced, and seasonal ingredients, many inspired by what's growing right here in the Park. Drawing from diverse culinary traditions and global flavours, each dish is thoughtfully crafted to celebrate the connection between food, culture, and nature.
Looking for an afternoon pick-me-up? Stop by The Park Café for a snack, coffee, dessert, or a delicious breakfast or lunch option.
Short on time? Visit the Park Treats take-out window for ice cream, cold drinks, and quick bites. You can also find the Park Treats cart throughout the Park for fast, convenient service so you can get back to your adventure.
