Any city that can be the butt of a Simpson's joke ("That's it! We're all going back to Winnipeg!") and simultaneously one of the most vibrant cultural centers in Canada is tops in our book. The city's history of isolation and self-sufficiency means that Winnipeggers are unpretentious and sincere (and fun-loving enough to name Homer an honorary citizen). Though the winters are long and cold, there are plenty of indoor activities to both keep you warm and stimulate your imagination.

Come play our immersive story based escape rooms in the heart of Saint Boniface. Explore our interactive game spaces with your team and beat the 60 minute clock! (4 person room minimum)
Escape Social is a new escape room in St Boniface - can be experienced in either English or French. The first room is open - Cirque du Mystere - and we loved the theme, puzzles and props :) The gamemasters ask you at the beginning how you want to handle receiving hints - rookies may need a few extra to get the hang of it and experts will want to figure it all out on their own (our group was in the middle). Either way, it's all about having fun! We will be back for future rooms, with little extra time for a game of Crokinole in the games room!

The Grey Nuns' convent, Winnipeg's oldest building, houses Le Musee de Saint-Boniface Museum. Built for the Grey Nuns who arrived in the Red River Colony in 1844, the structure is an outstanding example of Red River frame construction. The Museum presents an impressive collection of artifacts that reveal the lives and culture of the Francophone and Metis communities of Manitoba, including a special exhibit about Louis Riel, the "father" of Manitoba.
This is possibly the best museum on the Prairies for anyone interested in Métis history. The artifacts alone are enough to draw you in. Where else would you find a lock of Louis Riel’s hair? We spent over an hour, poring over each plaque and description that accompanied the displays. It was a remarkable lesson in Canadian history, with information that appeals to all age groups. As with most businesses at this time, masks were mandatory and there was ample hand sanitizer around the building. Admission is by donation, which you are able to make in the quaint gift shop. I picked up some very unique items at the shop. You can even purchase St. Boniface hand sanitizer! And I did. I would definitely return for another visit the next time I am in Winnipeg.

Beautiful Cathedral! The grounds are beautiful especially the cemetery with graves of historical figures and memorials to war. Mass is celebrated at the Cathedral daily. Regretfully, the Cathedral wasn't open the day we visited. However, we enjoyed the wonder and beauty of the architecture as we walked around the outside original building.

In the heart of Saint-Boniface, the French Quarter of Winnipeg, the Centre culturel franco-manitobain (CCFM) is the best place to appreciate European-style food (Stella's), to learn more about the history of francophones in Manitoba (St Boniface historical society), to enjoy some of the best jazz acts the city has to offer ("Mardi Jazz" - every Tuesday since 1986), to see the finest francophone artists' works from all over Canada (CCFM Art Gallery), to laugh at French improv games ("la LIM")... We're also home of the Cercle Molière theatre - one of the oldest theatre companies in Canada (started in 1925). Oh, and all our amazing halls (capacities up to 550 people), including the terrace, can be rented! Start your visit on our website, ccfm.mb.ca
