Winnipeg, Manitoba Fall 2025
Arriving In Winnipeg
Our Airbnb
The Airbnb slept more than what we would need during this trip. We loved the style of the home and the way the owner renovated and set it all up.
The City View From Our Airbnb
Our Airbnb had a prime view of downtown Winnipeg. During the day or at night, this view was one that Bailey and I certainly spent a ton of time enjoying.
Walking to Downtown for a Hockey Game
One huge benefit of this Airbnb was the ability to walk downtown and not have to pay for parking, we just had to cross the river.
The Local Public Eatery
Before heading into the Jets game, we needed to grab a bite to eat and we found this place nearby the area. The food was incredible, so much so that we set reservations for the following night.
Winnipeg Jets Games
During our short visit to Winnipeg, Bailey and I were lucky enough to attend two Jets games at Canada Life Centre.
Game 1 — October 30, 2025
Warmups
Photographing hockey games is something I’ve been lucky to do much more frequently as of late, the goal is to make it to the NHL. For now, warmups with my iPhone are my only option currently, but I am impressed with what I was able to capture with just a phone.
Gametime
Walking into today’s game, I thought we were sitting in the upper level per usual, but then Bailey started walking down towards the lower bowl. She did what she so frequently does in surprising me with some sort of upgrade or event that I wasn’t expecting. We sat right behind the net the Jets shot at for two periods in the fourth row.
Post Game
The Jets would end up defeating the Blackhawks 6 to 3 and Bailey and I were lucky enough to run into our friend Jonathan who is an NHL photographer for the Jets.
Waking Up To A Stunning View Of Winnipeg
Before starting our day around the Peg, we had to enjoy a view that I’m not sure we would get tired of if we spent a much longer period of time here.
Heading Out For The Day
Today the focus is on watching the Toronto Blue Jays take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2025 World Series at The Local Public Eatery.
Getting Coffee
There is a coffee shop in the line of shops on the back side of the Airbnb we were staying at.
CF Polo Park
Since tonight was a crucial game in the 2025 World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers and being in Canada, we figured what better place to purchase Blue Jays gear? Our first thought was SportChek in the CF Polo Park Mall.
Photographing Winnipeg
Winnipeg Out The Window
One of the rooms at the Airbnb had some comfortable seats near this window, so Bailey and I certainly spent some time here just enjoying the view.
Walking Across the Pedestrian Bridge
The Canadian Museum for Human Rights
The Forks
Downtown Winnipeg
Around Canada Life Centre
Watching the World Series in Canada
The first visit to Local Public Eatery yesterday was such a positive experience, we decided to reserve ourselves a spot for tonight to watch the Toronto Blue Jays take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series.
Winnipeg at Night
The walk back to the Airbnb gave me an excellent opportunity to photograph the city at night.
Checking Out Of The Airbnb
This morning was pretty foggy, but we still had a great view of the city for one last time before we had to check out of the Airbnb.
Grabbing a Coffee
We had some time to kill between checking out of the Airbnb and doors opening for the Jets game, so we grabbed a coffee.
Winnipeg Jets Game 2
The second game we were able to experience during this trip was the Pride Night game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Jets went on to pick up another win and the first three penalties of the game were by the big three on Pittsburgh (Crosby, Malkin, and Letang).
Chicken Delight
Before leaving Winnipeg, I had to get Chicken Delight, so we made a stop as we were driving out of the city.
Heading Back to the United States
Stopping In Fargo Overnight
We had a choice to make, do we drive the 10-ish hours straight back to Nebraska or do we stop in Fargo and get some rest. I pushed hard to stop in Fargo for some rest as I was exhausted. It also gave us a chance to watch game 7 of the World Series without distraction.
