One of the city's popular art districts and installations, The Colors of Corydon near
Osborne Village has eight abstract metal figures that represent some of the cultures of
the world. Check out the Nunavut Gallery and Stoneware Gallery to get the chance to meet
some of the artists behind the award-winning ceramics and then pop by The Frenchway Cafe
for delicious pastries and a gourmet cup of coffee to finish off the perfect artsy date
night. Try something new at Frescolio for extra virgin olive oil tasting and tasty
bites. In West Broadway, there's the Art City Parade, a celebration of arts, culture,
and the community with public art and costumes created by Art City with walking tours of
the 100-year-old Cornish Library and river peninsula as well.
If you want to soak up as much good weather as possible, or just the love outdoors,
Assiniboine Park and Zoo is one of the best Winnipeg date ideas you can
have. It's an urban playground with the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden and outdoor
performances and shows at Lyric Theatre. Don't forget to bring your bike with you. The
bike paths in the park let you see everything and it's a great workout for healthy and
active couples. There are also English gardens, a duck pond, and a pavilion for a cute
lunch spot. The park is located in the new and upcoming neighborhood of St. James which
is a mix of boutiques, specialty shops, and quaint cafes and restaurants. It's also a
perfect place for outdoor adventurists with Adrenaline Adventures. If you love
airplanes, St. James has the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada and the outdoor Air
Force Heritage Air Park. You'll love strolling along and see all 14 of the historical
aircraft in dramatic action poses and you can even make a scavenger hunt out of it for
some extra fun.
The West End is where the fun is if you love to party and socialize. West Broadway has a
cool urban vibe with eco-friendly fashion, street patios, and excellent hangout spots.
There's the Good Will Social Club which is a top hangout spot in the area with excellent
music from local DJs, live musical performances from local bands, and lots of special
events. After you've gotten drinks, make sure to try out the pizza at Little Pizza
Heaven. While you're there, drop by the West End Cultural Center with concerts by folk,
jazz, and indie artists including Canadian artist Feist. If you're looking for the party
scene in Winnipeg, the West End is where you want to be.
Best Time to Go Out
Weekends are not the only date nights anymore. In fact, most of the date nights tend to
take place on Thursdays or Friday nights, leaving plenty of room to have fun. Remember
the night is young and there are no need to hide away and leave all your
Winnipeg date ideas to only two days. Date night is any night and the
thriving social scene in Winnipeg has tons of events and themed parties or specials that
happen on the weekdays, usually Wednesday or Thursday.
