Things To Do
Nordik Spa-Nature - Chelsea
In need of some rest and relaxation? Read by the fire, soak in a steaming outdoor bath, indulge in a massage, take a deep breath during a sauna ritual, or meditate in a hammock. There’s no better place to find tranquility. By day, overlook the picture-perfect grounds or enjoy the the amenities under the twinkling lights by night! Reservations are required a head of time. Same day bookings are usually available.
Tosca Ristorante
In the mood for a romantic date night? Grab a delicious bite to eat and enjoy the authentic flavours of Italy. (Fun Fact: This is where Godwin and Meghan had their first date - March 5, 2021!)
Hop-on-HOP-Off Sightseeing Tour
You're here for a good time, not a long time! Get the most out of your visit by exploring the city with an audio-guided tour on a open top double-decker bus. Total ride duration is 1.5 hours or Hop-off at the designated stops to explore the Canadian Parliament buildings, ByWard Market, parks, galleries and more.
ByWard Market
Listen to the sounds of the buskers as you stroll the vendor booths lining the streets or as you walk in and out of the little shops. Looking to for a sweet treat? Grab a coffee and some gelato (Godwin and Meghan's favourite place is Piccolo Grande Artisan Gelateria). It is also recommend you try both Canadian staples - BeaverTails and poutine while in the ByWard Market!
Interzip
If you're feeling adventurous, take a thrilling zipline ride over the Ottawa River between Ontario and Quebec—the first and only zipline in the world that connects two provinces! (Fun Fact: Meghan bought her first home in Gatineau, Quebec 1 month before meeting Godwin)
Med Supper Club
Party mode is officially activated - Dress to impress! If you're able to stay awake past 10:00 p.m. (unlike the Bride and Groom) Med Supper Club is a luxurious Mediterranean-inspired restaurant by day and party scene by night created for the 30+ crowd who still like to have a fun night out on the town!
Lansdowne Park
Visit Landsdowne Park and do a little taste testing of the samples from the Farmer's Market (Sunday mornings only), catch a movie at the Cineplex or check the game schedule to catch an Athletico Ottawa soccer match at TD Place stadium - the Groom can probably hook you up with some tickets!
Pink Lake
Go for a hike at Pink Lake in Gatineau! The Pink Lake Trail is an easy 2.3-km loop around the lake, that most people can do in about an hour. It's a wonderful hike with a great view of the blue-green lake. Despite having the name “Pink,” the lake is actually green. It is named after the Pink family who settled the land in 1826. There are two free parking lots, one at the lookout and one at the Pink Lake Trail.
