Nice place overall, more animals than you'd expect in the city of Winnipeg.
The new church-hill section is a fantastic touch, and the indoor Antarctic themed jungle gym is a great place for kids to hang out and play, with super interesting displays and games.
It's a great place to walk around as well to get some mild exercise. Lot's of places to walk around there. For those who don't enjoy walking for too long or have difficulty with it, there is a transportation "bus" that will drive you around the park and drop you off in the area you want to be in.
As for the food there, not terribly impressive but they do have some decent sweets and a good amount of concessions around the park.
The only real thing that I was personally disappointed in, was the glass polar bear tunnel. Every time I went through it, there were no polar bears swimming around in sight. Besides that, it's a great place to visit for animal lovers, friends and family.

Had a great time with family. Huge polar bear exhibit!!! Good variety, had a nice size stroller to rent. Prices on drinks and food are decent. Look forward to coming again!!!
They have a dinosaur exhibit too!!!

Having a membership takes the pressure off seeing everything in one visit. Great value if you plan on going more than a few times a year. Open almost every day of the year including holidays.
Best time to see the polar bears is early in the morning when it is feeding time.
Great place to take the family, visitors to the city, and large groups.

Spacious park. Enjoyable in all seasons. Some enclosures are empty, but the animals they do have seem happy, healthy, and well stimulated. Enjoyable with friends, family, and for dates. It took me about 3.5 hours to visit all exhibits the last time I visited.

I love the zoo. I would definitely recommend getting a membership - the zoo is a great place for getting outside, getting a walk, and seeing animals. I love that they are working to make improvements for their enclosures - in the last few years they have improved immensely. They clearly care about the animals. I wish the signs were more informative - they really only have very basic information on them. The old signs weren't as pretty, but had more information. But with smartphones, it's not like I can't learn more - but occasionally there aren't signs for some animals, so that does make it tricky. We visit all the time!
