Hi all,

As a shopaholic i would like to know where are the best places in Winnipeg for a shopping spree?

Thanks

What sort of shopping are you looking for? Big malls? Walmarts? Glitzy small shops? clothing? furniture? outlet-type shops?

Do you have transportation or are you taking transit/taxi?

Definately big malls! Also my partner is a sucker for designer names, we aren't planning on hiring a car. thought we would just try to get by either on foot if possible or by taxi.

Thanks Redlats

I cannot remember if you will be downtown or not, but there is a fairly big mall downtown called Portage place (100 shops). It is connected through overhead passages to other shopping such as the 45 shops of Winnipeg Square.

A couple of miles west of downtown is Polo Park. 200 shops in an enclosed mall - the biggest mall in Winnipeg. The southeast end of the city has St. Vital Centre with 170 shops. Eastern Winnipeg has Kildonan Place with 100 shops. There are a couple others - Grant Park and Garden City shopping centres with 70 shops each.

If you don't like downtown shopping the easiest to get to is Polo Park.

That sound's Great, we are staying at the Marlborough hotel so hopefully it won't be too far!

Looking forward to arriving in Winnipeg next week, Thanks again for all your help.
