The 6 Best Hidden Gems Things to do in Winnipeg, Canada

August 13, 2021 Natalie Tallman

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.

Bad Axe Throwing

Axe Throwing is a sport generally associated with loggers and lumberjacks, but we've brought the sport to Winnipeg (6-1393 Border Street) and turned it into a fun and exciting activity far more satisfying than miniature golf and laser tag. Bad Axe throwing is rated top-ranked activity for "Fun Activities & Games” according to TripAdvisor. It has proven popular with social gatherings along the lines of team-building exercises and birthday events. We have qualified instructors that will teach you the rules, safety precautions and basic techniques of hurling hatchets across a room, and by the end of the session participants can face off in fun games and a mini-tournament. We're the premier destination for birthday parties, corporate events, bachelor & bachelorette parties, any special occasions, or people looking for a fun outing with friends. Whether it's to pick up a new hobby or learn a new skill, our unique axe throwing experience is done in a fun & casual urban atmosphere.

The most unexpected part of our visit was a please touch museum with taxidermy animals of the area you can touch. Awesome! There’s a burying owl about to hibernate. There’s a sod house, bison area, wetlands and pond, trials galore.
