The one section that you missed was the Gatineau hills and Parks on the Quebec side that is literally minutes away for scenic drives and in the Fall the colors are breathtaking, to say the least. Great presentation and your speed of information was perfect...TY

I live in Ottawa and even I learned some new things to do! Thanks a bunch. I'm going to share this video with my international and out-of-town college students this fall :)

Love this channel for showcasing Canadian beauty! And this one definitely does Ottawa justice <3

Thanks a lot for this video. I have recently moved to Canada and love to travel. Your content is very high-quality and informative. Cheers!

Really enjoyed this video. Good script, images, overall flows nicely. One thing I enjoy, not really explored, is running along the multi-use path from Arboretum all the way to Parliament (and further into Gatineau if you want); it's a nice 7km + uninterrupted path for walking, biking, and running connecting you throughout the city. It's a gem. The parkways are also great in the summer and Lansdowne restaurants, markets and activities are worth exploring too. Well done.

Such a great video man, I couldn't believe that you have just under 10k subs, your content is amazing!

I will definitely watch more videos on the channel, you just gained a new subscriber 🙌🏼

Great video with great images. Thank you!

I love the layout of this video! I live in Ottawa and i really like what you did with this!

Nice video that focuses mainly on family friendly locations for the city. Some things missing from here include Lansdowne as a whole (park, bars, stadium, arena), the sporting events, concerts and festivals that take place each year here, Winterlude in the winter, Gatineau Park for hikes and cycling, some very fine dining venues, and the odd eclectic pub and cafe that we have. Obviously it's based off your personal experiences that you had with your family, and for that, it's really a quality video. Thanks :)

Born, raised and 49 from Ottawa. You did a nice job. Of course there's tons more, but you did well on this vid. Nicely done.

As a non-native to Ottawa you caught a lot of the good spots. One really cool thing you missed was Dow’s lake at end of Canal which is right next to an amazing Arboretum and Agriculture Museum (a very cool thing to do with kids as they basically have a live petting zoo of farm animals most of the year). Another quick note is one of the best hidden-gem restaurants in the region is right near the Diefenbunker called The Cheshire Cat Pub or alternatively you can go into Carp and eat the yummiest of sandwiches at Alice’s Village Cafe and the have ice cream at Carp Custom Creamery.

[GordonHowe]

Very accurate for the places on this list I've actually been to. Really want to check out Diefenbunker next time I'm there!

You can also book free guided tours/visits at the parliament buildings, notably in west block, east block, the senate and a self guided tour at the parliament immersive experience!
