Add on the spa’s hot stones and let these warm volcanic basalt and cool jade rocks ease your body and mind

Assiniboine Park

Assiniboine Park

Love is always in bloom at Assiniboine Park. In summer, walk hand-in-hand through the English, Formal Gardens and Gardens at The Leaf, smelling the flowers and seeing the enchanting sculptures within the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden. Come winter, how about pair skating on the Riley Family Duck Pond, followed by hot cocoa from the Park Café. For something steamy, The Leaf’s Tropical Biome flaunts Canada’s tallest indoor waterfall and so many massive plants. Plus, its onsite Gather Craft Kitchen & Bar has a worldly menu with craft cocktails and desserts that sometimes feature ingredients grown right in the biome. Now, that’s love.

Riverwalk in Summer/Rivertrail in Winter

Riverwalk in Summer/Rivertrail in Winter

Winding alongside the Assiniboine River, the Riverwalk starts at The Manitoba Legislature Building and runs to the Esplanade Riel at The Forks. We swear, its canopy of trees will whisper “get closer” as the wind gently rustles the leaves overhead. In winter, the Assiniboine and Red River freeze to form the Nestaweya River Trail, which can be accessed from many points in the city. On it, you can skate past whimsical warming huts that beckon you to take a selfie for Instagram (because your love deserves extra likes on social media).
