Visit Manitoba’s beloved Golden Boy, who is perched atop the Provincial Legislative building. The Golden Boy, a magnificently gilded 5.25-m (17.2-ft) figure sculpted by Charles Gardet of Paris, and cast in 1918 at the Barbidienne foundry in France, is probably Manitoba's best-known symbol. Embodying the spirit of enterprise and eternal youth, he is poised atop the dome of the building. He faces the north, with its mineral resources, fish, forest, furs, hydroelectric power and seaport, where his province's future lies. The foundry was partially destroyed by bombs during the First World War, but the Golden Boy emerged unharmed. Go inside the building to see the exquisite grand staircase and rotunda. Guided tours available.

The original cathedral, built in 1908, was destroyed by fire in 1968. The remaining walls were incorporated into the design of the new church, creating a dramatic facade facing west across the Red River towards downtown Winnipeg: the clouds wheeling behind the hollow rosary window frame are like a Tyrell art installation. The cathedral is a beautiful testament to Winnipeg's history.

The former Uptown Theatre (now the Uptown Lofts) was a movie theatre opened in 1931. The heritage building's restored façade features a fanciful mix of Spanish, Moorish and art deco design with many ornamental details, making the building an attractive landmark.

After a long Grey Cup drought dating to 1990, they won the trophy in 2019, repeated as champions in 2021, and have lost each of the three Grey Cup finals since. Winnipeg last hosted the Grey Cup in 2025. Tickets are usually available on game days, although it is wise to purchase in advance.

Baseball (American Association): Since returning to Winnipeg in 1994, the team has frequently finished first in their division and won championships in 1994 and 2012. Shaw Park, constructed in 1999, is considered one of the nicest minor league baseball parks in North America.

Hockey (National Hockey League): In 2011, Winnipeg again became home to an NHL team after a Winnipeg-based group purchased the Atlanta Thrashers. The team resurrected the Jets name that had been used by two other Winnipeg-based hockey teams, most notably the city's former NHL franchise. The Jets play at Canada Life Centre, built in 2004 and a first-class venue for hockey games and concerts, though small by NHL standards. Single-game tickets are available, but can be hard to come across for key matchups; 13,000 of the arena's 15,000 seats were dedicated to season tickets.

Hockey (American Hockey League). The Manitoba Moose are the professional farm team of the Winnipeg Jets, and play at least 38 regular season games at Canada Life Centre. The AHL is a developmental league where NHL draft picks, prospects, and ex-NHL veterans regularly play. Compared to the NHL, AHL hockey is more affordable and tickets are readily available. AHL games are generally more family friendly as a result. The Manitoba Moose play at the same arena as the Winnipeg Jets, which makes for a comfortable and enjoyable fan experience.
