The farm usually re-opens just in time for Easter!!
Come see (and feed) the animals, take a train ride, play in their playground or take part in their all day Easter egg hunt. Fun times for all ages!
We took our two young ones a few years ago and we all had a blast. It was really busy at the entrance but it didn’t feel crowded around the Farm at all. There really was so much to do. The Easter egg hunt was well organized. The children get bags and a card chart telling them what colour eggs to find and what colour and when they return the eggs and bag, they get a cookie! Our children LOVED it!

Check out your local malls. We’ve heard that some of the malls hold little Easter Egg hunts and crafts for kids. It could be a great option if an indoor activity is preferred.
Our Easter in Ottawa Guide will be updated regularly as soon as we find out about more events! Check back with us again soon.
