I highly recommend this place! My husband and I have visited four times, three of which were to enjoy the stunning sunsets and watch the geese.
The park is beautifully organized and impeccably clean, making it a wonderful spot to connect with nature. The volunteers are amazing!
Now that we have a membership, we plan to spend our Saturdays there. The only downside is the early closing time during the week, which makes it difficult for us to visit after work. Nonetheless, we’re excited to enjoy our Saturdays there!Sunanda C.October 2023
Awesome trails and lots of greenery. Good place for watching goose, ducks and other animals and a lot of history. Bison viewing is available. Great place to spend weekends and watch sunset. the museum has a lot of taxidermy stuff of owls, bears, bison, deer, cougar, foxes and so on.
Entry tickets for two is about $21 dollars if you are not a member. It is worth it.K O.October 2024
I went to the sunset goose flight at Fort Whyte Alive. There was an indoor presentation that was very informative about geese migration. Beautiful trails throughout the marshland also!! Plus a restaurant and very nice gift shop inside. Worth a visit!👏🏻👏🏻

Great attraction located on the far westside of Winnipeg. Lots to do for both adults and children. Abundance of trails and even several boardwalks over that span over the water. Numerous events and additional activities that change regularly. There is an admission fee but its relatively small for the amount of activities you can do. The bison pen is usually very active making for great photo opportunities. The interpretive centre has lots of small activities for children including animal displays, live fish/marine life, live reptiles, etc. Boardwalk near the marsh has an abundance of wildlife. Reception centre has a nice cafe and gift shop that features local makers. Highly recommend.

Excellent place to experience trail walking and biking. Bison viewing so close to the city is awesome. The animals and arts in the museum are so lively. The flooding boardwalk trail is so nice.

Morning winter hike. It wasn't too icy when I visited so my poles where not necessary. Lots of deer walking around and birds chirping around. Fun place to visit and walk around in any season.
