This place has it all! Great food, shops, live local entertainment, great view of the city 's skyline (and mostly flooded river walk), and close to everything. A must check-out!

Val Gagnon

Great hangout in close proximity to many tourist hotspots. Try the Sri Lankan food then grab some mini doughnuts for dessert ! Also, check out the artisan craft and souvenir shops on the second floor.

Nicole Smith

Fun markets ! Stop at the belt buckle store and glass blowing shop. If time permits, grab some fresh produce and enjoy a picnic in the sun!

Very nice historic place, i was able to feel the history of this place... Better to read about history of the place before visiting

on winter try the trail skating or if your not the adventurous type stay on the rink. the market offers a lot of choices to eat and shop. just make sure you have a fat debit card.

A worthwhile place or bring the family! Parking is free on the weekends but come before noon to find a spot. The Market is really nice.

Lots of good activities year round. Good food and shops, but be prepared to spend a little more.

Photos don't do it justice. To truly get a sense of the size of the Canadian Museum of Human Rights you need to stand in front of it. Simply awesome.

Spend some time watching the boarders practice in the bowl at the skate park on a nice spring day. The degree of body control and awareness is really quite impressive and most of them are really good.
