Milksmith Emerges as Winnipeg’s Go To Winter Party Venue

Two of Milksmith's locations (Corydon and the Johnston Terminal) are available to book private birthday parties

Winter in Winnipeg has a way of forcing every birthday party, family gathering, and team celebration indoors. Once the cold snaps hit, parents start the annual scramble searching for indoor venues that are fun, easy to plan, and actually available. And that’s exactly why Milksmith has quickly become one of Winnipeg’s favourite winter party destinations.

This year, Milksmith is making winter celebrations even easier by opening party bookings at both our Corydon Avenue shop and our brand new Johnston Terminal location at The Forks. Twice the space. Twice the availability. Same magical Milksmith experience.

The Winter Struggle Is Real — But Your Party Doesn’t Have to Be

Ask any Winnipeg parent and they’ll tell you that winter birthdays come with a unique set of challenges. Outdoor options disappear for half the year. Indoor spaces book up months in advance. Kids need something interactive and fun, and parents need something that doesn’t turn into a full day of prepping, hosting, and cleaning.

Milksmith has become a winter go-to because it solves all of that in one place.

A Party That Doubles as the Activity

What makes Milksmith special is that the experience is built right into the party. Guests create their own custom ice cream flavour, mix in their toppings on the cold plate, colour their pint label, and take home a full pint of their creation. We even make an extra mini cup so everyone can enjoy their ice cream at the shop. And the best part: no need to bring in extra activities or hosts. Everything you need is part of the experience.

Now Booking at Corydon and Johnston Terminal

With two locations now offering party bookings, families have more flexibility than ever.

Corydon Avenue: A bright, cozy shop that feels like a warm escape from the cold. Perfect for classic birthday vibes and intimate celebrations.

Johnston Terminal at The Forks: A charming indoor setting right in the heart of one of Winnipeg’s busiest winter destinations. Ideal for winter photo moments, festive gatherings, and everything from birthday groups to small team events. No matter which location you choose, you’ll enjoy private use of the space, dedicated staff, and a welcoming, winter-proof atmosphere.

Why Milksmith Works So Well for Parties

Here’s what parents tell us again and again.

• It’s easy - we setup, tear down, and staff the entire event!

• The kids stay engaged the whole time.

• There’s no prep and no cleanup.

• The photos look amazing.

• It’s actually warm inside — a real win in January/February polar vortex months.

Winter parties should feel joyful, not stressful. Milksmith does the heavy lifting so you can actually enjoy the celebration.

Perfect for More Than Just Birthdays

While we’re well-known for kids’ birthday parties, Milksmith is also a sweet fit for:

• staff appreciation events

• team-building ice cream socials

• holiday break gatherings

• mom groups

• teen and tween celebrations

• family get-togethers

If you love ice cream, there’s a Milksmith party for you!
