REVIEWS:
“Went there on the weekend for the first time in years. I was asked all the appropriate questions for a COVID screening and the lady at the front desk was very professional and kind. The price was great at $12 a person and we basically had the place to ourselves. Lots of great pieces and I loved the room filled with old paintings that were centuries old. Lots of wonderful works done by Indigenous people as well. HIGHLY recommend.” – Holly Hildebrandt

REVIEWS:
“The Forks is very popular with both locals and tourists. It is one of Winnipeg’s major tourist attractions. The Forks is located at the junction of the Red River and Assiniboine River. The site contains many shops and restaurants. During the summer, there is often free entertainment provided. A popular thing to do is to go on the River Walk located along with either of the two rivers and/or take a narrated water taxi ride. For those with young children, I recommend visiting the Children’s Museum. The Forks has the Esplanade Riel suspension pedestrian bridge which connects The Forks site to the very charming neighboring French community of St. Boniface. In the middle of the bridge is a French-themed bistro restaurant that overlooks the Red River. While having a terrific meal, you will be able to enjoy a great view of The Forks, St. Boniface, and the busy river traffic.” – Darren Lyly
