Winnipeg — or "Winterpeg" — as it's lovingly known during half of the year — sometimes gets a bad rap once the temperatures are below freezing. But when the city isn't contending with bone-chilling cold fronts and brutal snowfall, it's a playground ripe with nature and wildlife waiting to be explored.

And that's where "Like A Tourist" host Dan Rodo comes into play. He's teamed up with local Winnipegger Grant Calder with the goal of uncovering the city's unique hidden gems that'll make Calder forget about the four years he spent in Toronto.

For more on where to find the spots teeming with nature, check out the full episode below.

Where To Go: FortWhyte Alive

1961 McCreary Road, Winnipeg, Man.

If you want to get a sense of what Winnipegers are like, go find yourself a bison. Like the official animal of Manitoba, locals are generally chill, but mess around with them and well, you can probably imagine what happens next. You'll find plenty of wild bison at FortWhyte Alive. The environmental centre features 640 acres of land, lakes and wetlands ripe for kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding. The area's also ideal for anyone looking to hike alongside Winnipeg's wildlife.
