My son and husband are going to Canada fishing and are going to be in Winnipeg for two days before their trip. Any ideas or restaurant rec's?
I know it is not exactly glamour city of the world, but there must be something there to must-see or do.
Thanks!

We went up for the weekend a few years ago. There's an IMAX theater in town, you may want to check that out.

I can't remember the name of the area, but downtown by the river is a nice place to visit.

Just a word of warning: the mosquitoes in Winnipeg make the "state bird of Minnesota" look like... well, mosquitoes. Fricking HUGE!

Try Assiniboine Park. There's a zoo, incredible gardens, free music... Really neat. The museums and planetarium in the Manitoba Centennial Centre have some great stuff, too.

I've only been on a few trips, but found the place friendly, and also found plenty of interesting things to do.
