A unique 5.5 m/18 ft. working Floral Clock with nearly 3,000 flowers, run by GPS.
The Peace Chapel features three walls of fossil-embellished Manitoba limestone with quotations from "people of peace."
The September 11 Memorial displays 10 beams from the World Trade Center in the formal garden.
The Peace Tower, 35 m/120 ft. high, represents the people from the four corners of the world coming together in the common cause of peace.
The Carillon Bell Tower sounds every quarter-hour from 14 chimes. The bells range in weight from 250 lbs. to 2,000 lbs., totalling 20 tons.
The Historic Lodge is built of native stone and Manitoba timber by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the late 1930s. The CCC also built the dam and spillway that created Lake Udall.
