The Canada Agriculture and Food Museum offers a fun-filled adventure on a working farm!
Discover Ottawa's history at this museum in the city's oldest stone building. Learn about the construction of the Rideau Canal, Ottawa's rowdy lumberjack past, the town's selection as Canada's capital and more.
The Bytown Museum tells the city's story through a collection of more than 7,000 Ottawa-related artifacts, including Victorian timepieces, tools used to build the Rideau Canal—now a UNESCO World Heritage Site—and antique children's toys. Don't miss the stone vault on the first floor, which stored money, supplies and gunpowder during the canal's construction.
Located in a picturesque spot next to the Ottawa Locks, between Parliament Hill and the Fairmont Château Laurier hotel, the museum offers exhibitions, family activities, special events and guided tours. Included with the very affordable admission is an audio guide available in English, French, German, Spanish, Mandarin and Japanese.
