When summer kicks the curb and fall rolls into town, we like to suggest you cozy up with a new schedule of things to do in the city. Grab a cup of tea, your favourite knit sweater and embrace crisp afternoons in Canada’s striking capital. From scenic jaunts to hopping hayrides, there are a variety of activities for all to seize in Ottawa around the new Greystone Village.
Get Spooked– For those who enjoy a good ghost story, The Haunted Walk, is a spooky tour that runs from April to November and takes you on a historical walk of Ottawa’s supposed haunted landmarks. Walk by the Bytown Museum or the Fairmont Chateau Laurier to learn about the ghastly friends that may be lurking in your city. Book your tour close to Halloween for an extra scary scene!
Enjoy the Foliage – Nothing signifies fall like the changing colours of the leaves. Text your best friend and head to Gatineau Park, just 15 minutes from Parliament Hill, for a picture-perfect trek. Gaze at the amber, orange and red leaves while enjoying the view in Canada’s conservation park. Bring your professional camera or your phone to capture the moment with a picturesque backdrop. No filter needed.
The Amazing Hedge Maze – Saunders Farm (7893 Bleeks Rd in Ottawa) exudes fall entertainment with Hayride Tours and Mazes, including the largest hedge maze in the world. Take some dizzying twist sand turns and help kids use their problem solving skills to get to the exit.
