Polar Bears are fantastic!

Quite a variety of animals. We love the polar bears, watching them swim from under the water tunnel is super. Monkey exhibit also fantastic as we saw a mama teaching a baby how to swing on the vines. Overall wonderful visit, definitely worth a stop...More

Wonderful Journey to Churchill Exhibit

I went to the zoo mainly for the polar bears, prior to my trip to Churchill. There are 9 polar bears, eight that were rescued orphans. The Journey to Churchill exhibit is wonderful with the polar bears having outdoor and underwater areas. Watching the polar...More

Awesome!

What a great place to spend a few hours. Loved this place. They have a cafeteria like restaurant that has a wall of windows that view the polar bear habitat. So you can watch them romping in the snow.

Awesome time

We had so much fun seeing all the animals and took so many pictures. I highly suggest especially if you love animals and have small children.

This is a great place for family activities. The Journey to Churchill is the star of the show. You’ll love the seals and if you’re lucky catching the polar bears swimming in the tunnels. Highly recommend this zoo.

Rainy but fun

Despite the rain nearly all of the animals were out and about. Watching the polar bears coming over the hill and then close to the viewing window was the highlight of the zoo for us Texans. Since there were few visitors, a zoo volunteer took...More

Stunning Polar Bear Exhibit

Even on a cold day I enjoyed wandering around this zoo. The Polar Bears were very active. Their enclosure in the Churchill section of the zoo was large enough to house six gorgeous bears. They were enjoying themselves. What was really cool is there is...More

Very Nice Zoo!

I had the pleasure of visiting the zoo in the snow but the animals I was most interested in seeing were still quite active. The Journey to Churchill exhibit was a treat. While I ate lunch there were three polar bears up next to the...More

The zoo was a pleasant surprise. I had not gone for several years because of massive construction and not seeing many animals when you went. They have definitely done a massive upgrade, which is reflected in the price now, but not out of line with...More

So I will be in Winnipeg in 2 weeks (mid Feb). The Journey to Churchill is indoors? I was told the zoo is open all year round, but will there be anything else to see if it's below 0 Celsius?

The "Journey to Churchill" is primarily outdoors. The only indoor aspect (to the best of my knowledge) is when you go underground to watch the animals swimming. I have been vistiting the zoo for over 50 years and have... More

How long should one allot for time when touring the Zoo? We are (4 adults) traveling to Winnipeg and want to see as much of the city as we can in the day and 1/2 there.

We spent about 4 hours at the Zoo, but we lingered at a few exhibits. You can certainly cover it in 3, but we took our time. If you have a little extra time, you can continue over to the English Gardens in the park. The... More
