Assiniboine Park and Zoo
Assiniboine Park Conservancy (City Of Winnipeg) · Winnipeg, Manitoba
Assiniboine Park is Winnipeg's large riverside park, and the Assiniboine Park Zoo sits inside it. The park itself is free to walk, with the English Garden, the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden (confirm season), lawns, trails, the Pavilion Gallery Museum and Lyric Theatre, plus a large conservatory called the Leaf. The zoo charges admission (confirm) and is best known for Journey to Churchill, which presents polar bears and other Arctic animals and has an underwater tunnel where bears and seals can swim overhead (confirm). It suits families, school groups and anyone who wants a full day outdoors without leaving the city. Winnipeg winters are severe, and parts of the zoo stay open in the cold, but many outdoor areas are far more pleasant from late spring to early autumn, and the summer mosquitoes near the river can be fierce. Allow half a day to a full day, and confirm ticket types, hours and exhibit closures before you go.

The park grounds are open daily from morning to evening, and the gardens, trails and playground are free to enter. The zoo and the Leaf have their own admission and hours, which change by season and often run from morning to late afternoon, with shorter days in winter. Some outdoor zoo areas, rides and gardens close or reduce service in the cold months, while indoor areas stay open. Special events, holidays and weather can alter opening times or close individual exhibits, and the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden and some gallery spaces keep their own seasonal schedules. Check the official schedule for your date, confirm last entry times and whether timed tickets are required.
