Outlet Collection Winnipeg is a nice addition to the city. It's an indoor mall with a bunch of…read morestores that you'd expect would be outlets. Um, yes and no. I suppose that it's kind of the norm at most outlet malls. Not all stores will give you heavily slashed prices on everything. I like that it's an indoor mall. You are protected from the elements when the temperature swings thirty degrees in either direction from zero. -30°C? You are safe from having your eyelashes freeze over. 30°C? It was what I had experienced while in the city. This mall was nicely air-conditioned and perfect to hibernate against hot, humid conditions. The mix of stores made me happy. Old Navy. GAP Factory. Winners. Claire's. Kernels - Baskin-Robbins. Skechers. Danier. Starbucks. Urban Treasures. Chatime. Lindt. I was perfectly content shopping at these places. Some are your regular businesses at any mall, such as Chatime and Starbucks. Winners has decent prices already. Old Navy, GAP Factory, and Lindt had deals that you'd expect from an outlet. The deals were fabulous. If you are a visitor, you can get a discount when you shop at various stores by dropping by Guest Services. The problem that I encountered was that they ask for ID. I dropped by to shop with a credit card and me. This woman at the counter would not accept photos of my driver's licence, both front and back, with my mugshot, on my phone. I didn't feel like grabbing my ID from the glove compartment of my rental vehicle and heading back to save maybe a couple of dollars on my great deals. Some stores are separate from the mall, but are still a part of it. Krispy Kreme is an example. I don't mind it because it has a drive-thru. There's also an IHOP, which is nice not doing a trip over the border to get your pancake fix. I spent my last full day in Winnipeg at this mall for a few hours. I enjoyed it. I used the washroom before I left. It was fancy and clean. There was plenty of parking. Each entrance is numbered, which is helpful. I look forward to returning to the city and dropping by this mall again. I'm glad that I can finally say that I've shopped here at long last. (330)

2.5/5 I suppose for…read moreWinnipeg standards, it's a pretty good outlet mall. Maybe this review is influenced by the fact I've been to many other outlet malls that have more variety, but I definitely felt underwhelmed after shopping here. The location itself isn't very ideal, as the two major streets are high traffic, so getting here isn't exactly convenient. The mall bills itself as an outlet mall, but I honestly saw very few outlet prices. There were barely any sales or deals in all the places I went to. Definitely disappointing. The place is huge though, and the mall design is extremely open concept, plus the washrooms are really neat. That's about all the positives I can say unfortunately; Polo Park has better options in my opinion if you're looking for clothing.

When I was a Winnipeg resident, I was a mall person. I had two favourite malls in this city: Polo…read morePark and St Vital Centre. I am more of a outlet mall shopper these days. However, returning to this city on vacation as a sentimental ex-Winnipegger, I hung out at this mall for seven hours. The mall person returned. It's still in me. I hadn't been to this mall since 2016, so it was worth the visit. It's a decent mall. It's a medium-sized one in that there's only one floor. Hudson's Bay (it has a Zellers!), London Drugs, Walmart, and Dollarama are your anchor stores. In 2016, I spent a lot of time and did a lot of damage at London Drugs. On this visit to the mall, I didn't visit any of these stores. I wanted to check out the other stores that I had missed. SilverCity, Hudson's Bay, Purdy's Chocolates, and Indigo were stores that I recognized. They have endured the test of time. I like them a lot. Everything else was new. I could picture the old HMV and Branigan's restaurant when you first enter mall entrance 3 and hit the food court. They are gone. The food court is still excellent. I had a late lunch at Koya Japan and my meal was excellent. I visited a bunch of stores that I had never been to at this mall. Miniso. SoftMoc. Sephora. Claire's. They are all cool stores that I enjoyed visiting and making some purchases. There is a lot of parking at this mall. It may get nuts during Boxing Day or week or month. I have never had any issues parking at this mall. This mall has an Earl's restaurant. I last dined there in 2016 and loved it. There's also Sushi Gozen by London Drugs that I'd like to try someday. I recently met up with a couple of friends here. We caught up over some Timmy's drinks and snacks. It was nice and a memorable, happy experience. It's a decent mall. It has everything that I like and need. (316)

Polo Park Shopping Centre (it officially has CF in front of its name now, courtesy of Cadillac…read moreFairview) is one of the larger malls in Winnipeg. The story goes that it was built where the Polo Park Racetrack used to be eons ago. I have spent countless hours at this mall. It was easy for me to take a couple of buses to get here from where I used to live. The bus loop is steps away from one of the entrances. When I got a car, it was much easier to drop by. I never had a problem finding a parking spot. This mall has changed over the years. It used to have Zellers on the second floor, which was where I often got everything from a boot tray to Tiffany lamps. I probably visited this Zellers more than any other store over the years. The space has since changed and there are more stores in that part of the mall. The Bay and Sears used to also anchor the mall. The Bay is still alive and kicking. Sears has since disappeared. As far as dining goes, I'd either eat at Moxie's on the second floor by the food court or head to Earl's. I rarely ate at the food court, but I look forward to seeing the revamped version. I always wanted to eat at Taco Time, but never did. Someday, my dream will be realized. There's an A&W away from the food court that I liked. It is still on the second floor. I always found it cozy. I often hit the Cineplex next to The Bay to take in a movie. There are a fair number of parking spots that are covered on that side of the mall, which comes in handy when it's snowing or raining. There is a basement floor in this mall. My chiropractor was located in the basement and I'd often schedule an appointment during my lunch hour when I used to work by the airport. It's funny how there's also a bowling alley in the basement. Coincidence to have these two businesses together? I'll let you decide. The selection of stores is pretty good. I never shopped at Gap when I lived here. I didn't fit in anything it offered back then. Club Monaco is still kicking around, as is GNC. I always enjoyed the smaller stands that sold knitted hats and mitts. I still have my set that I bought. Sadly, the Safeway store is gone. I always enjoyed having a grocery store at a mall, but I guess that's a dying model these days. When it's freezing outside, this mall is perfect to hibernate and get your browsing on. It's also perfect when it's scotching hot outside in the summer and you don't want to be eaten alive by mosquitoes. I like shopping here and can't wait to check this mall out when I'm back in the city. (141)

It's a bit strange having this building and a huge P.F. Chang's nearby. This area is vast. It needs either more stores or housing. My original intent was to find a washroom, hoping that Winners would have a public women's washroom. Nope. One star off for lacking a public washroom. Every Winners that I have frequented has one. This entire building doesn't have one, which seems odd. I briefly looked at the merchandise here. I saw a lot of jeans. Wide-leg styles are still in. I also saw cozy fleece tops that were perfect for -21°C weather that day. I found half-zip Puma sweatshirts at reasonable prices. I rarely see this brand at Winners. It was a nice change of pace. There were plenty of snacks by the shared checkout area. It was nice to briefly check them out. It's a good Winners, minus the lack of public washrooms. I'd return here again and shop like a normal person without attending to my bladder. (491)

The WAG was on my list to visit for years. I finally made it happen by driving the long drive from…read morethe US. Was it worth it? Oh, yeah! I geek out on Inuit sculpture and this museum has a treasure trove. The lobby of the modern white addition to this museum has a multi-story wavy glass vitrine filled with Inuit pieces. It's a delicious appetizer so I eagerly went up the stairway and into a massive gallery with rows of Inuit pieces, I felt like I was 5 years old and wanted to jump up and down. Every piece is beautifully displayed and illuminated in a white-walled room that, despite having no windows, is perfectly lighted. Art appreciation is so much easier and pleasant in a room like this. This 'Art by Inuit' exhibition is a survey from approximately 200 BCE to present day. It includes typical hunting and domestic scenes of which Inuit art is most well known. There are also many works that explore the human psyche. For me, this is the humble and sincere strength of Inuit art that can grab the viewer. The small exhibition titled 'Gasoline Rainbows' features the work of Tarralik Duffy. Her leather gas cans find the sculptural beauty in the everyday world. Her Spam-container-looking leather sculpture called 'Klik' is a biting reminder of how western foods replaced the traditional foods of these northern communities. There's more to the WAG in their ultra-cool Brutalist building. A surprising gallery of European Old Masters is one of the better small collections in Canada. Another gallery has Impressionist and mid-20th century paintings. (The harsh lighting in these galleries could use the magic touch from the Inuit galleries.) A cavernous exhibition featuring the meticulous works of Tim Gardner, an artist who I'm embarrassed to say that I'd never heard of, blew me away. That one person could churn out so many detailed paintings and watercolors seems impossible. His works include portraits, images of liquor bottles, hyper-realistic paintings copied from amateur photos, and images of Los Angeles so engaging that I felt as he had entered my mind and tagged along on bike rides through my old neighborhoods. The WAG is a joy, both architecturally and in the art on display. For dessert, the gift shop can't be missed. Several Canadian art museums do something that is more rare in the States: feature and sell compelling works by local and regional artists. This isn't the books, mass-produced art/souvenirs, and t-shirts often for sale in other museums. There is genuine one-of-a-kind art and shelves of superior quality artisan-created crafts for sale. It's like a little museum in itself. I happily walked out with an Inuit sculpture that could have been included in the exhibition upstairs.

When I was here, the galleries were full of flower arrangements inspired by the artworks they were…read morepresented with. I've never seen anything like it in a museum before and it was an interesting idea. I happened to show up during the opening for this event, so the gallery was pretty lively. While there are wall cards giving background on the curatorial direction and on individual pieces, I found they assumed a familiarity with Manitoba's history that I lacked. It was refreshing to see so many pieces of art by artists I'm unfamiliar with and to leave with a long list of things to look up later. It inspired me to pick up some books after my visit. That said, they also have a small, thoughtful selection of the sort of stuff you expect to see in an art museum in North America. So if you want to see representations of the standard European and Canadian art movements and pieces by familiar names, you'll find those, too.

I wasn't here to eat, as I had just had lunch. Rather, I wanted to check out the Gap Factory Store, which is next door to the food court. Nearby was this Roots store. I saw a 30% sale sign, so I had to check it out. I liked seeing the classic Roots logo on t-shirts and more. It's how I was first introduced to this brand. I liked various t-shirts, canvas bags, drinkware, and caps that I saw. Sadly, none of them were truly on sale. The beaver plushies were discounted. I got a couple of them a few months back that I didn't feel the need to add to my collection. I liked the lightweight sling bags and fanny packs. They would be perfect for travel or simply running errands. I enjoyed browsing around. The sale wasn't spectacular, but I was pleased seeing beaver plushies on sale. (292)
