Best places: Tourist attractions in Ottawa, Canada

Waterfront public park with lawns, a bandshell, a picnic pavilion, playground & manmade waterfall.

Cold War museum in a massive underground bunker featuring military artifacts, exhibits & events.

👍👍 Best off-leash dog park in the area. Massive open space with some seating plus a huge amount of trails to explore. There is even a rainbow bridge to post your lost pup's tag which always brings tears to our eyes.

This 1.2km looping interpretive boardwalk trail passes through the Mer Bleue Bog.

👍👍 Beautiful hike. Plenty of parking. Be prepared to pay fee. Canoe, kayak, paddle board launch available.

This 457-hectare forested nature preserve offers hiking, mountain biking & more.

👍👍 This is my go-to spot in the summer when I want to get out of the house, have a sunny walk, and maybe try to find some snakes in the tall plants. Very well maintained, quaint, relaxing. The best time to visit is during the week as it can get busy on a beautiful summer weekend. Keep an eye out for t...

👍👍 Parked at P9 off Moodie, lots of space. Some picnic tables on edge of P9. Washrooms at P9. I walked every trail except one where the boardwalk is damaged they closed it. Varied ecosystems provide for huge variety. Very picturesque.

👍👍 Great place to explore or just decompress, the mornings are sureal!

👍 Great dog park to use while visiting family. Not fully fenced so beware! Went in “winter” so it was quite muddy near the entrance but overall good space to roam. If your dog likes water ensure they have good recall when the ice is there, can be dangerous. Many friendly people and dogs but enough spa...

Supervised public beach for swimming & water activities, plus a park with play & picnic areas.

👍👍 Excellent family farm outing for families! Smaller children are sure to appreciate the amenities. There are animals (obviously), a park and small trails, playstructures and basketball. The buildings are well decorated and children-oriented. There is a small restaurant offering basic fast food and ic...

👍 Great snowshoeing area. We did loop 43 and it was nice and flat. Great for beginners.

👍👍 Massive park between Centrepointe Drive and the Nepean public library. Soccer field, baseball diamond, pond, play structure and splash pad, tons of greenspace. Very well maintained. Bike paths run along the perimeter of the park.

👍👍 Attended my brother's wedding ceremony at this location. Nobody could ask for a more pleasant and serene location. Beautiful wildlife and animals, yet the 417 highway is so close yet not one noise from a single vehicle could be heard. Great spot to enjoy nature!

👍👍 Perfect little trail for a quiet hike. Squirrels, chipmunks, wild turkeys, birds, snakes, and more make this their home. Ground is uneven at some spots but over all an easy trail to walk or ride a bike (watch for animals on the trail!)

👍👍 Great spot for fishing and picnics. There might not be enough parking if it gets crowded.

Wooded park with campgrounds, boating, swimming beaches & hiking trails, plus centennial trees.

😐 This place is probably better to visit once pandemic restrictions have been lifted, as the museum is currently closed. Access to the water is fairly limited and it's mostly a spot to have picnics it would appear. However the remaining buildings are well-preserved and the interpretive panels offer...

👍👍 The best day of our lives! From the very start Isabel and the rest of the Domaine Perrault team have been extremely and genuinely helpful in every part of wedding planning. Isabel went above and beyond to make sure Kyle and I had the best wedding day we could possibly imagine and she took on roles...
