Unique and interesting things to do/see in Ottawa.? |
Travel Info I'm bring my 60-something parents to Ottawa for their first time. Apart from the usual Parliament Hill / Byward / Rideau / museums and art galleries, what is an interesting thing to see. What's off the beaten path? Travel Tips I'm going to Ottawa tomorrow, Friday. Born and raised in Ottawa. I know you mentioned Parliament Hill, have you seen the changing of the guard. Ive never seen horse drawn carriage rides in Ottawa like the person mentioned above, I could be wrong. But yes the Gatineau Park is beautiful. I don't recall anything interesting in the Glebe but my sisters old high school. How about Sparks street its like an outdoor mall. Last time I was there we went on an amphibious boat bus ride through Ottawa and the Ottawa River. I don't know where your coming from but there are some great casinos in Hull, Quebec. Anyways maybe I might bump into you. Enjoy yourself. Others if you go in the winter ottawa has the longest ice rink in north america it is about 2 miles long and about 100 yards thick Ottawa where? I'm in Il. and there is an Ottawa here also Take a drive across the river and up into Gatineau Park. Check out the McKenzie-King estate up there. The scenery is AMAZING! Depending on the time of year, check out what festivals are going on. Maybe take a ferry ride of the Rideau Canal (or skating during winterlude!). A stroll through the Glibe area might be nice. To make Byward Market more interesting, how about shelling out the money for a horse-drawn carriage ride? I did that in Quebec City and it was worth every penny. Have you ever been to Merrickville? Its south of Ottawa on the Rideau Canal...a very artsy fartsy town. Boutique after boutique of wonderful art and crafts...restaurants etc...and its a major stop for boats along the canal. Great ambiance there. The town just bustles on the weekend. |
