Families in Ottawa

Are you one of the many families in Ottawa looking for something fun to do this weekend with the entire family?

Are you looking for some family outings or attractions?

Are you trying to find a playcentre to bring your little ones to?

Are you trying to plan a chidren's birthday party in Ottawa?

Are you trying to figure out what to plan for March Break in Ottawa?

Are you trying to find a listing of Summer Camps in Ottawa?

Are you spending Easter in Ottawa and looking for something to do for the entire family?

Are you trying to find a listing of the school boards in Ottawa or private schools?

Are you looking for a fun place to go camping in Ottawa for a weekend with the entire family?

Or, are you looking for an informative reference book that you can bring around with you while you are out and about with the family? If so, we highly recommend the book called "Ottawa With Kids". We keep it in the car for the days where we don't have anything planned or we need a back up plan (i.e. due to weather). The whole purpose of this section of our website is to provide information to Ottawa families and families visiting Ottawa. We know how hard it can be to find out various types of information for the whole family.

Since creating our site, we have received numerous emails from parents trying to find out information on different places around the city for their children. We thought we would share with you some of the topics that came up in their emails.

We are also parents to young children so a lot of what we are going to discuss is from our own experiences.

This section is going through some wonderful changes and improvements so make sure to bookmark it and keep an eye on the new additions!

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or suggestions (or even some recommendations).
