So Im travelling to Winnipeg in February....tips?

Q: I've heard that Winnipeg is not really a beautiful city and is VERY cold in winter, but I just have to visit there for a bunch of reasons in February. Any tips on making the trip fun? special places to go, etc. Be open, any suggestion will do! p.s. No offense to people from Winnipeg, I just heard its boring.

A: Ok, first I have to tell you....The North End is really not that bad. Some people have major issues with it, but that is generally because they don't appreciate the culture and heritage of this part of the city. When you come to Winnipeg, if you are here for the Festival Du Voyageur, make sure you go! It is an absolutely amazing time! We now have the longest continual skating surface in Canada and you can walk it too! It is beautiful! Kildonan Park is great in the winter, tobogganing, skating, skiing, snowshoeing, plain old walking.... (Of course, it is in the North part of the city.....) Go to the Forks! Beautiful place! If you like to shop, we have great malls with lots of sales right now. Winter is a good time for sales here, since they really want to bring people out to shop when it is -40. How about dinner theater? If you enjoy it, we have a great one called Celebrations. Our Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature is one of the best in Canada, check it out on a cold day. Go to the Planetarium, catch a show and then hit touch the universe, it's a blast for all ages. Don't forget the zoo. Our zoo is amazing and really cheap compared to others in Canada. Not all animals hibernate during the winter and we have the tropical house and the discovery centre both of which are included in the price of the zoo. There is so much to do in Winnipeg! Bring warm clothes and a big smile! Have a blast! We are NOT a boring city!!!
