I found The Forks to be a very beautiful area. Everyone is friendly and has a smile on there faces. I will go to The Forks the next time I am in your city:)

Brian Strike - Sep 02, 2009

I came to this website hoping to find a list of shops, services, restaurants and other attractions currently located at The Forks but I didn't find any such list.

You might want to consider putting up a list of all participating merchants so vistors can determine if the item or service they are seeking is available at The Forks.

Even a "long shot" hit might invite a personal visit which might lead to other "impulse" buying - something that vendors really like!

jSmith - Jun 10, 2009

the forks needs something new, other than a museum to spice it up.
the plaza is great and all but it's getting dull with the lack there of things to do.

Annie - May 02, 2009

Sarah Dell - Feb 05, 2009

I just wanted to let you know that my husband and I visited The Forks two years ago and just fallen in love with it. We are hoping to bring our friends along for the trip soon to share the fun with us. The food was outstanding and love the variety from around the globe. It is truly a very classy cultural place on earth and appreciate it very much. Thanks for a beautiful spot to vacation.

Melissa - Feb 05, 2009

I think that you guys should post the weather at The Forks and if it's a cold/warm day for skating.

Jessica - Jan 21, 2009

Lindsay - Sep 15, 2008

Beautiful spot and definitely a nice place for an afternoon excursion. Got some lovely pictures from the day!

One major negative was the Beachcombers Restaurant. The service (despite there only being 2 tables in the restaurant) was terribly slow and not very good, food took nearly an hour and some orders were wrong. Highly recommend avoiding this restaurant, but everything else was lovely!

Yaseen Mustapha - Sep 14, 2008

The food at The Forks is tasty and the variety is great.

Phelps - Sep 06, 2008

Luanna Dallmann - Aug 26, 2008

I have enjoyed The Forks for over 18 years now.
All the special events throughout the years with my children and also with my loving partner Robert Rahn of 7 years, who passed away suddenly just as we were to begin a glorious marriage.

Thank you for all the special events that make my life enriched.

friends from Texas - Aug 24, 2008

Family friendly, inexpensive, lots of free parking, great trails and nice people. We enjoyed watching the kids on the skateboards and bikes.

Great place to visit when you're in CANADA!

Cindy Birdwise Lecocq - Aug 23, 2008

Congratulations on building upon the umbrella group created by the Archaeological Dig that began to bring a alive the past for all whom had a chance to dig with Sid Kroeker. I was one of the first members of the umbrella group. I am happy to see that my vision which was shared by Al Baronas, Rob Gillespie, Sid Kroeker and others for an overall foundation has been attained 15 years after the initial dig began. I have just returned from the Arctic in the past year and I hope to enjoy many days at The Forks once again.

Jolene - Aug 23, 2008

I love The Forks, the atmosphere, the restaurants, the buskers and the people! The new additions to the market-the recording booth and the ice cream place moving really looks great! Good job!

Tracy - Aug 14, 2008

The Forks is very nice, I notice on your description of it that six thousand years ago "someone" thought it was a good meeting place?......Historically, was it not where the aboriginal people would meet for trading goods/fur?....I just found that description was not acurate in recognizing the true purpose of that location...Thanks.

Lisa - Aug 11, 2008

I came from West Australia to visit a friend and I loved your city and people ( it was summer).
See yas

Larry Eby - Jan 05, 2008

I love the forks either visiting or shopping & food services,I really do think that the webcam service was a major service as well as there are many who are housebound who could make use of its scanning abilities to see our great city scape and feel present at the forks in this way, even people from outside of winnipeg love this idea.!! I hope that this service returns soon maybe even an upgrade of sorts?? I always enjoy the entertainment at the forks and especially the buskers who add their flavor as well

Why not take the webcam tab out of your web page. It's never working all the times I log on to it...it's a joke. Why make fools of yourselves.

kathy mckay & family - Aug 23, 2007

Thanks for the ongoing entertainment & activites you provide all year long. We enjoy going there as a family and look forward to the upcoming events..

Craig - Aug 23, 2007

Reply to post (Deb- June 26th)
Hi Deb, my name is Craig and I am the owner of the Segway services that you mentioned. Sorry I had not seen your post earlier. Very glad to hear that your friend's family had such a nice time with our services!

Unfortunately, we are not at the Forks this season as we have launched a new direction for our business. We can be reached at Velocity Advertising www.velocitysegways.com
If your family is still in the city, we would highly recommend that you review the bicycle services currently offered at the Forks site. The owners are exceptional hosts and should be able to provide services that your family would enjoy in the Park. If your family members are die hard Segway fans and they are in the “let down” mode….I would suggest giving us a call directly and maybe we can set-up a one night stay with the Inn at the Forks and pick-up your crew for a private outing? For the rest of you reading this…sorry but our tour services are not back until 08 at a location to be announced.

Mich - Aug 16, 2007

Excellent site, added to favorites!!

Selbz - Aug 08, 2007

The forks is a great place to spend time with friends and family. sometimes the rental cops can be a little ignorant but other than that its great.

Eric Smith - Jul 17, 2007

Where did the webcam go?? Miss it lots.

Deb - Jun 26, 2007

I love the Forks but where are the Segways???
A friend of mine went on a Segway tour with her family last summer and they have been talking about it ever since. I have some family coming for a summer visit from the Netherlands and I told them about these Segways and how we could go on a tour of the Forks. Are they gone for good? Does anyone know if they're coming back or if they're doing these kind of tours somewhere else this summer? How can I get ahold of the people that run these? Can anyone help???? Thanks!

Sharon - Jun 25, 2007

My husband and I are really looking forward to visiting and sampling some of everything when we visit in August.

Lynne - Dec 31, 2006

I think that the Forks is Marvellous. I cannot believe that there is so much diversity in one place. You can try so many foods and shop in so many different stores. From Aboriginal to the beach! I did find however, some of the storekeepers upstairs were a little rude!?! bad day??

Moayad Taweel - Dec 30, 2006

I loved the forks because there are a variety activities for families and children in either summer or winter. A lot of fun for my kids every time We are in.

Gale - Jul 08, 2006

We are so fortunate to have this jewel in our city. It is such a pleasure to be able to enjoy it. Winnipeg it truly a great city!!!!

R Ross - Jul 05, 2006

I went to the Forks looking for the Segway on Canada Day but no one at the Forks knew where they were. After spending 4 hours in a wheelchair (because I have trouble walking around places like the Forks) looking for them and asking everyone ,I went home disappointed that I had not found them. As this is of an interest to a lot of people it would be nice if the Forks let people who work at the Forks know where they are so that people could find them.

I will go back on a less crowded day and try to find them as I am very interested in seeing how they work.

Anonymous - Jul 02, 2006
