Canada’s Capital is a community of communities.

The city’s historic downtown and central neighbourhoods are pedestrian-friendly, and well connected by parks, avenues, and waterways. Their proximity creates a unique warmth and intimacy — an urban center with a cosy feel, in which locals support one another, microbrews are on tap everywhere, and local chefs and farms bring culinary delights to diners’ plates. The city’s pleasures are also easy to navigate, with museums and major entertain- ment facilities integrated into its neighbourhoods. Welcome to Ottawa, where you’ll feel neighbourly — not touristy. ) corbett

From locavores and fashionistas to merry­ makers, the pedestrian­friendly ByWard Market has something for everyone. The buzz of activity is constant at the ByWard Market Square pavilion, home to indoor

food vendors and unique shops, and a Play food & wine year­round outdoor market brimming with artists’ handcrafted goods, fresh farmers’ produce, and flowers. You’ll need to make return trips to Ottawa’s oldest, most­con­ centrated neighbourhood, as there’s just too much to enjoy in one spot: Irish pubs, dance clubs, wine bars, cheap eats, gour­ met dining, lounges, dives, and desserts. The area’s magical courtyards and hidden patios cast their spell — most notably the cobblestone patios of Clarendon Court. Meanwhile, Sussex Drive is known for its high­end fashion boutiques, and the newly updated CF Rideau Centre serves as a magnet for shoppers.

For the Young Detective Escape rooms are popping up all over the city — probably due to the feeling of triumph when you solve a humungous puzzle and escape a dungeon. At Escape Manor (main locations on downtown and in Hintonburg), you can face off against everything from outlaws to mad scientists. You can also visit the largest escape room in North America at the Diefenbunker, and special-run escape rooms at the Canadian Museum of Nature. Other exhilarating capital escapes include Room Escape, Jigsaw Escape Rooms and Ottawa Escapes at Funhaven.

For the Young Explorer It doesn’t get any better than a voyage on the high seas! Pirate Adventures lifts anchor in Mooney’s Bay to parade around the new recruits to the pirate’s way of life. Swashbuckling, shaking scimitars and water cannons, and even finding sunken treasure makes this escapade a can’t-miss. TheCanada Aviation and Space Museum is where dreams take off. Future astronauts and pilots can learn to fly and land in the flight simu- lator, and learn everything they want to know about the miracles of human flight.

For Young Einsteins The reopening of the Canadian Science and Technology Museum (November 2017) finds old favourites like locomotives and the Crazy Kitchen alongside 80,000 square feet of new exhibition space. New features include a “Tech- nology in Our Lives” gallery, covering everything from household consumption to wearable tech. Playing house takes on a whole new meaning!
