Itinerary Samples
1-2 hours Trips
Start with riding the 1919 steam train to the Hudson's Bay fort.
Enjoy the Fur Trade tales and eat fresh Bannock at the Cree
encampment every day at 11:30am. Hop on an authentic
stagecoach ride or try our 1885 Bakery (one of our many hidden
gems). Talk with the friendly costumed interpreters in the
Park's over 70 authentic buildings, have your historical photo
taken at Ernest Brown or stop
by the Hotel
Selkirk for a bite. Don't miss the great ice cream at
Bill's Confectionery on 1920 Street, and finish off with a Midway
ride.
2-4 hours
With a little more time, the activity options definitely open
up. Book an old
fashioned picnic basket lunch through the Hotel Selkirk
and sit on the grass by the pond just relaxing. Participate
in tea with the interpreters, take pioneer craft making or try out
the Edwardian sports, citizens' action debates or daily school
lessons every morning. Perhaps end your day with a quiet pint
of Guinness at Hotel
Selkirk's Mahogany Bar.
Overnight
The Hotel
Selkirk is your peaceful country getaway right in the city,
offering great mid-week room rates. Dinner
at the Selkirk is a culinary delight filled with romance, and an
evening walk in the Park followed by a night cap is an opportunity
not to be missed.
