Getting There :

Daily, hourly and free three-hour parking for The Forks visitors is available.

Note from Robin :
In winter, The Forks is home to a pop-up restaurant on the ice. Attracting some of the city’s best chefs, it’s a unique atmosphere and the food is great (which is why you’ll want to book in advance if you plan on attending). It’s also a great place to check out the warming huts. The Forks is conveniently located within a short walk of another item on the Bucket List – The Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
