Attractions for the Daytime Window
Attraction Hotspots →
Attraction
Canada Life Centre
Canada Life Centre is one of the NHL's most passionate buildings — a roaring sold-out arena that has been at the heart of the Jets' return to Winnipeg since 2011. The whiteout playoff tradition, where the entire crowd dresses in white, is considered one of hockey's most intimidating atmospheres. Even non-playoff games have an intensity that reminds visiting fans why Winnipeg is one of the league's real hockey-mad markets.
Attraction
IG Field (Winnipeg Blue Bombers)
Home of the back-to-back Grey Cup champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers, IG Field is one of the CFL's great outdoor football environments. On crisp autumn evenings the energy inside is staggering and the Banjo Bowl rivalry game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders is one of Canadian sport's most colorful traditions. The Bomber Store on game days is a fan shopping must.
Attraction
Princess Auto Stadium (Winnipeg Blue Bombers)
Princess Auto Stadium is the modern home of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers CFL team, built in 2013 on the banks of the Assiniboine River. The 33,000-seat stadium has hosted two Grey Cup championships and generates extraordinary prairie football passion in a province where the Bombers are civic religion. The stadium's open concourses offer spectacular views of Winnipeg's skyline.
Attraction
Sport Manitoba Hall of Fame
The Sport Manitoba Hall of Fame celebrates the province's remarkable athletic heritage, from CFL Grey Cup champions to Olympic medallist speed skaters and curling world champions.

Curling fans in particular will find a wealth of world championship history here.
Things to Do
The Forks Cultural Walk
Walk through The Forks, a 6,000-year-old meeting place at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, now home to a vibrant market, restaurants, and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. In winter, the river trail transforms into the longest naturally frozen skating trail in the world.

Attraction
The Forks National Historic Site
The Forks at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers is Winnipeg's communal heart — where Jets fans converge for pre-game street parties, outdoor NHL Heritage Classic watch parties are broadcast, and the summer music festival scene transforms the riverbanks.

In winter, the frozen river becomes the world's longest skating rink, a uniquely Winnipeg fan experience.
Attraction
True North Square Outdoor Rink
