We did the Hermetic Code tour with Dr. Frank. It was superb. No, world-class is more like it. SO good! You will never look at the Legislative building the same way again.

Unfortunately, there were no tours available during our stay in Winnipeg. Also, no self-guided tours, which would have been nice. Otherwise, a very interesting building for those interested in architecture.
Manitoba Legislative Building. 450 Broadway, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3C 0V8, Canada 204-945-5813. 8 - 8 for self-guided tours. From July 1 to Labour Day in September, tours are offered on an hourly basis from 9:00 a.m – 4:00 p.m. Elizabeth gave us a wonderfully informative, hour-long tour at noon. Beautiful building and good explanatory brochures as well. Free parking for visitors near the circle by the entrance. Get the booklet on the fossils in the stones around the building and then go on a scavenger hunt to spot them. Kids were captivated by the tour stories.
This building was built to handle a city of 8,000,000 people. It's architecture is outstanding no matter where you go. The carvings ;look like they were done yesterday. The cafeteria also serves very good Winnipeg Style sandwiches.WE did the boat tour and also walk the many gardens around the building as they are beautiful and in excellent care.
The facade of the building is just perfect at night. I work just a few steps from The Legislative Building but it's still beautiful to look at and very relaxing to walk strolling along the Assiniboine river.
The Manitoba Legislative Building is worth having a walk thru. A large solid building with lots of history in the hallways to view. The building is built with the finest building material available. Just amazing to view, and it's free to walk thru (there is even a cafeteria that you can stop in and have a coffee or a bite to eat).
