When it comes to skating - Ottawa has a lot to offer. There are lots of arenas offering public skating (though, only specific days/hours) as well as community rinks (operate when it is consistently cold outside), but outdoor refrigerated rinks are literally open any time (daytime) any day throughout entire winter season, even when it is +10C outside.
Is Ottawa boring? Well, they say boredom is in the eye of the beholder!
This city's beauty is no illusion! From its picturesque canals that transform into a winter wonderland to its rich tapestry of museums and galleries, Ottawa may not be the loudest party in town, but it's definitely the one with the most intriguing stories to tell. So here are the stories...
- This is one of the trails you will not find on Google Maps, it is only open from August to May. Here you will find a unique landscape, interesting plants and likely encounter beavers (definitely see their huts in the middle of the lake).
- This post is written exclusively for ghost enthusiasts and brave souls! Halloween is coming and you might be wondering - are there any haunted places in Ottawa? Are the farms and themed attractions worth it? Let's sort it out!
- A trip to Valleyview Little Animal Farm offers a truly unique experience - an opportunity to get up close and personal with a diverse range of animals and birds, spanning from alpacas to zebus, and goats to geese. You can take a scenic ride aboard the Valleyview Express train, traversing through picturesque fields of corn, soybeans, wheat, pumpkins, and hay.
- This place is absolutely a hidden gem of the area. Gorgeous scenery and very easy walk. Must-show to friends visiting Ottawa in any time of the year.
