Local Tourist Ottawa

As a parent, I am almost always on the look out for things to do with the boys. You hear it a lot in Ottawa… “There’s nothing to do around here” Sure, it can be boring at times, it comes with being a Government driven city. That being said, there are lots of things to do. If you take a different perspective, and did the things that visitors do, you would find there are loads of crazy and interesting things to do in the National Capital Region.

So this brings me to Local Tourist Ottawa. This blog is a fantastic resource for finding those hidden gems across the region. The site offers readers an incite into what makes Ottawa a world-class city. There are posts about food, attractions, people, and on every possible topic to bring awareness to the joys that can be found in your own back yard.

I was recently asked to write a post about Winterlude as one of the main contributors saw my Twitter feed become loaded with posts about my experiences. I was happy to share the adventure with them, and I hope you’ll take a look too! There is a quick sample below, but I hope you’ll read all of it! The link is above, just click on the word Winterlude!

Our next Winterlude stop was to Snowflake Kingdom at Jacques-Cartier Parc on the Gatineau side. If you have never taken your children, or even gone for a fun date, GO… NOW! This place is beautiful. With downtown Ottawa as the backdrop, the organizing team has put together a setting that is screaming Canadian fun. From giant snow sculptures, to horse drawn sleigh rides, to the giant snow mountain that is home to countless ice slides… there is plenty to keep you and your loved ones laughing and smiling for an entire afternoon or evening.

Thanks again for coming back! It means a lot to me that you all care about what I’m saying. Follow me on Twitter, come say hi! Leave a comment, let me know about your Winterlude experiences!
