About aurora viewing in Winnipeg

Winnipeg sits at a similar latitude to North Dakota's aurora-viewing towns, with the same flat, open prairie terrain working in its favor once you're clear of the city itself.

Where locals actually go

Birds Hill Provincial Park, just northeast of the city, is a well-known local escape from Winnipeg's light pollution.

Best time of year

Cold, clear prairie winter nights give Winnipeg its best odds, generally requiring a moderate to strong storm given its latitude.
