You can take a bus as far as Kenaston and McGillivray, but then you would have to walk 15-20 minutes to get to Fort Whyte.

We went on a beautiful sunny day and enjoyed hiking in this unique setting. We sat and watched the Bison for a while and just really enjoyed our whole day of exploring.

I highly recommend paying extra to go on the bison safari, otherwise, they are not close enough to see well. The prairie dog exhibit was fun to spend time at and just walking around Fort Whyte was good exercise and nice for an afternoon.

The last visit was for coffee on the deck with friends. Sitting at the water's edge as nature unfolds all around is hard to beat.

Just a nice park inside the perimeter and outside the ordinary. Hiking, canoeing and in the winter the toboggan run.

Covering a square mile, this park offers many various opportunities to see the historic "natural side" of Winnipeg;s environs!! What was an abandoned mine now houses water features, buffaloes, geese and extensive picnic facilities!! Its really worthy of a visit!!!

Cycled there with friends today. No admission fees if you go by bike. Really enjoyed seeing the bison herd. Nice walking trails and informative signage. There is a cafe onsite, but we didn't try it. Definitely recommend for a couple of hours.

This was a wonderful place to visit. How often do you get a chance to see a herd of Bison. There are numerous other types of wildlife to spot too.
