The Leaf

As a wedding photographer at Moore Photography, I had the incredible opportunity to shoot the first wedding at the stunning Leaf building in Winnipeg. Let me tell you, it is an absolute gem. Nestled inside Assiniboine Park, The Leaf provides an exceptional venue that blends nature and modern elegance seamlessly.The botanical gardens within The Leaf are nothing short of breathtaking. The lush greenery and vibrant blooms create a truly magical atmosphere, ensuring that every photograph captures the beauty of the bride and groom against this stunning backdrop.The attention to detail and thoughtfulness in the design of The Leaf is evident throughout. It offers a perfect blend of sophistication and tranquility, making it an ideal choice for couples seeking a unique and unforgettable wedding experience.I am thrilled to have discovered this hidden gem and can't wait to photograph many more weddings at The Leaf. It is a venue that captures the essence of Winnipeg's beauty, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an extraordinary location for their special day.

A great addition to Winnipeg's attractions. We visited the 2 main areas/biomes and the butterfly garden. The tropical biome looks like the most developed with a large variety of plants and an indoor waterfall. The mediterranean biome also seems to be partly used for special exhibits (there was a Christmas exhibit when we visited). The butterfly garden is accessed through an elevator. Nice view overlooking the tropical biome on the canopy going to the butterflies. Up there, you also get to see the beginning of the waterfall. There is also a restaurant and shop outside the paid area. Hopefully they are able to build on this some more, especially improving the mediterranean biome, or maybe even add a new area eventually.

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.

It was AMAZING the staff are so sweet and helpful. There is so much to look at(outside garden and inside garden), and it is so informative. The only downside is it is humid, but that is nothing they can change because the plants need it, so I would suggest wearing light clothing.

You can go through the greenhouse fairly fast, but in the tropical section you can really take your time to look at all the different plants layered throughout. There's also some extra gardens accessible for free outside. They had issues recently with the butterfly room, so I only saw one butterfly... There was a small sectioned off construction zone outside, so there might be a few more plants in the future.

My wife and I went to Gather Craft Kitchen and Bar for our 3uth anniversary dinner. We enjoyed the decor and the ambiance of this amazing new restaurant. We also enjoyed a walk in The Gardens at The Leaf, bith before and after dinner. It was stunning!

Pretty reasonably priced botanical garden. It was beautiful inside, with so many different plants. Everything was set up well and I really enjoyed my visit. Lots of butterflies in the butterfly garden as well. Some were a little hard to capture in a picture, but I did get a few good shots. There were some repairs happening when I went so it was unfortunate some of it was blocked off.

Nice new place to go in Winnipeg - beautifully presented and worth the trip. Exotic plants create a tropical atmosphere and the butterflies are very interesting. Go on a weekday as it can be very busy on the weekend. Highly recommend!

An amazing attraction which has just opened recently. Some amazing plants in an extraordinary biosphere. The butterfly room is a popular feature. Tip for those visiting though it can get hot when sunny in the summer since it is almost entirely constructed from glass.
