Things To Do: Take a drive on Sussex road.
  • Tip Rating:
  • Besides being the road where you'll find Rideau Hall (the governor gneral's house), the Prime Minister's house, and being he road to the RCMP heapquarters and aviation museum, it also a very scenic road with a lot of spots to stop and admire the nice country-side.

    Things To Do: Eating beaver tails!!
    :)
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is some kind of weird pastry...but it's really good. Very sugary and fat thought..but where ever I go and see an outlet, there is always a line.

    It's VERY good. My favorite is with chocolate and apples on it.

    Things To Do: Elephant and Castle Pub
  • Tip Rating:
  • This pub is nicely placed within Rideau Center, but it's wayyy too big and too crowded..kinda kills the 'Pubish' ambiance..

    Things To Do: Darcy McGee's Pub
  • Tip Rating:
  • A nicely decorated pub...good food, good drinks..
    Unfortunately, we didn't stay long because, even thought it wass early, there was a guy in a heavy state of intoxication, so...

    BUT, the light walls and decorations give this pub a diferent feel.

    Ottawa and area Museums: The National Aviation Museum!
  • Tip Rating:
  • This has to be the BEST museum out there! Often I go to museums, walk around a bit..look at a bit of info, but often want to get out as fast as possible.. BUT in this museum, the whole family will surely enjoy themselves! First, they have a huge collection. And during the summer, they open the hangars for even more planes!

    Also, there are a lot of windows which make it very lighted..being inside in the dark and walking around makes me sleepy..

    The planes, the games, the videos..this is a great interactive museum for the whole familly to enjoy1
    :)

     Note on the Beer store and lining up, in Ottawa we actually have different designs, where most are going into basically a small room of beer cases and just grabbing yours and going to the counter.

     Unfortunately, you're a bit off with the phone booth description, it's a prop for a restaurant, having very little to do with Ottawa's cultural heritage. Also, Ottawa has alot of great stuff to do you just have to dig a bit. othwerwise, good job

     LOL!!! Great tip about the Rideau Centre and it's soooo accurate too!
