The Leaf

One of best place to visit during Winter. You will be able to see green and enjoy humid climate inside it. There is an artificial waterfalls inside and trees from different part of the world.

Really enjoyed the walk through. Lots of amazing sights and smells that really take you on a tropical journey! Beautiful seasonal display as well. Finished off with the butterfly sanctuary! Highly recommended!

When it's not being closed for being over 50 degrees or closed by CFIA for letting exotic butterflys escape it's an enjoyable way to spend the hour.

Took my son to the Leaf on Sunday night around 7: 00 pm, such as beautiful view, future& Cyberpunk style.

I love it here! The humidity provides such a nice relief and break from the winter cold.

The plants are still young, I can't wait to see how they grow in the coming years.

Overall, a clean and beautiful facility!

An amazing attraction that is sure to be a popular activity. Restaurant was amazing, but make reservation or register upon enteri g

Love going to the leaf, so beautiful and love getting to see all the tropical plants, not to mention the butterflies!

Very nice place to relax, to get away from the cold, and definitely a place to bring visitors.

A magnificent botanical garden where you can admire beautiful plants and magical butterflies. A great place to spend free time with the whole family. Both adults and children like it here.

A little under whelmed. But soo happy to have some place like this in Winnipeg. Got a few photos of flowers. The butterflies were beautiful! Wish that space (butterflies exhibit) was a bit bigger though. AS PER the restaurant. Recommend putting ricotta on top of the sprouts so it doesn't look like a greyish sludge at the bottom 7/10, Burger 8.5/10 Kale vegan salad 9.5/10. The cocktails were soooooo good! 10/10. I had the Gin sour it was very fresh and delicious!

It was really lovely. Wonderful plant and flower displays and the Butterfly garden is very nice.
With Earth Day events going on, it was VERY busy. I wouldn't go back on a holiday.

I got an annual membership, that's how much I love it I've been there 5 times already, and every time there's something new to see. The butterflies are from Costa Rica, but apparently understand English

The Leaf at Assiniboine Park was such a beautiful experience. Each Biome amazing in it's own way. The waterfall is lovely, the butterfly gallery was so great. It was a bit busy on a Sunday afternoon, but I imagine if you went when it was quiet it would be so peaceful! Absolutely 5 stars.

Beautiful new space! 6 yr old daughter loved the butterfly exhibit 3rd floor. Tasty shops. Great for a few hours rest.

Incredible place! A must-see for everyone. Amazing restaurant. Great food. Better service.

Visited The Leaf on Saturday and it was amazing! There were lots of people but there’s so much space inside that it did not feel crowded at all. We loved walking around and seeing all the beautiful plants and trees. The fish and the waterfall were really cool. It is super humid inside so be prepared for that. The butterfly room is super cool with the butterflies flying around. They have a nice cafe and restaurant there too. We had a lovely visit and the staff were all super friendly and helpful.

This 5 star is primarily for the wonderful senior volunteer we encountered on our visit at the Butterfly garden in the Leaf! She was so enthusiastic, warm and a refreshing encounter in the midst of all the hustle and busyness of The Leaf.
There’s a lot to understand from reading the information boards around the leaf that provide details on the kinds of plants that are available and where they are originally from.
The Leaf by itself I would rate a 3 or 4 stars…not that it is not beautiful. It is.
Not that it is not spectacular. It is. But it felt more like a spectators garden than a place you would visit to learn and engage with nature in a meaningful way.

Bright, open design with fascinating design and architecture. The butterfly garden is a special place. Great variety of plants.

Chance to see all the trees all over world and different kind of species of butterflies and flowers

It was great plants of all colours different types and countries. Beautiful butterflys and lovely restaurant. Clean bathroom. Friendly staff.

My husband and I spent our anniversary here - about 3 hours of the day. It was incredibly refreshing and calming. We both work community focused jobs and we really needed the time to be at peace and admire the beauty here. It was wonderful. The plants reminded him of home and the butterfly garden was very lively. (2-3pm seems to be when they’re most active). Im already wanting to go back?

My advice would also be to go with the intention of being reflective and receiving the peace the gardens bring. Soak it in! Some have commented on the price, and I think if you go with the intention of briskly walking through and taking quick pics, yes, you might be disappointed.
