What are the most popular things to do in Ottawa with kids?

Nestled in the western part of Québec, the Outaouais invites you to experience the unique lifestyle of its region! This vast territory, covering 33,000 km2, knows how to harmonize its dynamic city life with the dazzling beauty of nature’s splendour.
The Outaouais offers you a twofold discovery adventure geared for the whole family! One the one hand, large-scale attractions and exiting events near the National Capital. On the other hand, numerous outdoor activities are easily accessible year-round.

The Outaouais is much more than a river… An Algonquin tribe, the Outaouais, lived in the area before the first white settlers appeared. In Algonquin, Outaouais means “to trade”. The Europeans named the river “Rivière des Outaouais” (the Ottawa River) while, to the Amerindians, it was simply known as The Great River.

What do Ottawa people do for fun?

The urban zone of the Outaouais is but a step away from Ottawa and its many tourist attractions such as Parliament Hill and numerous national museums. On your return to the Québec shore, be sure to visit the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the many art galleries and boutiques and live a thrilling and exiting experience at the Casino de Hull.

After a day well spent, discover the exiting night life in the Outaouais. Lots of choice awaits you: conventional concert halls, summer theatres and outdoor concerts under the stars as part of special events. For a more casual evening, dance to the rhythms of contemporary or old-time music. Or unwind at a café-bistro to the strains of music from Canada and further afield. Why not enjoy a fine meal a tone of the many first-rate restaurants? Here, with different festivals and shows featured every month, a festive mood is a daily event. You will find it hard to choose!
