The Canadian capital of Ottawa doesn’t get as much attention as the country’s big and lively metropolises, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t check it out—even if you’re visiting with your entire family. This city is home to many amazing kid-friendly attractions, starting with these three.
Calypso Theme Waterpark
If a visit to a waterpark happens to be your family’s idea of a good time, you’ll be happy to hear that Ottawa has one in store. Calypso Theme Waterpark offers 100 acres of waterslides, wave pools, and lazy rivers and it welcomes around 400,000 visitors each year.
Canadian Children’s Museum
Canada is home to many interactive museums for people of all ages, but this is the only one that was created specifically with kids in mind. Canadian Children’s Museum is Canada’s largest exhibition center designed for kids and it offers costumes, artifacts, toys, games, and many other kid-related artifacts.
Saunders Farm
Ottawa is home to many amazing parks and green spaces, but you’ll appreciate its natural beauty even more if you step outside the city and visit the nearby Saunders Farm. It covers 100 acres in Munster and offers all sorts of seasonal events, including hedges mazes, splash pads, and hayrides.
