Get Outside
Fall is also the season for apple picking. Enjoy fresh Ottawa region apples and use them to make pies, preserves, or just enjoy them as-is. Head to an orchard and enjoy an afternoon in the country. About an hour outside the city, Mountain Orchards features a Family Fun Zone, a corn maze and wagon rides. Another option - Cannamore Orchard, home of the Spooky Wagon Ride - features a country market, family activity area and museum.
Autumn is the best time to visit Ottawa's fabulous parks. View nature in her fall finery inGatineau Park, the Capital's Conservation Park. It has many acres of woodland surrounding a lake, unique plants and wildlife, and many heritage sites.
