In the fall, Pumpkinferno at Upper Canada Village attracts thousands of visitors to its award-winning 100-acre farm attraction, located in Ottawa's countryside. The farm offers a nighttime stroll through a spellbinding outdoor exhibit of more than 7,000 handcrafted pumpkins lit up along a kilometre-long path with a picturesque historic backdrop.
Nighttime at Parc Omega offers visitors a chance to observe their surroundings in an entirely new light. The one-hour 1.5km incline trail begins at dusk, when you can hear the crickets and frogs singing away. After passing by a marsh with real-life sounds of frogs, guests come across a massive moose sculpture and two elks fighting on a projection screen. Guests can also spy on a wolf pack at the wolf observatory at Omega by Night.
The ByWard Market: A cultural & culinary destination
The ByWard Market, now one of Canada's oldest farmers markets, was established in 1826 by Lieutenant-Colonel John By. As the area evolved, so did its architectural styles. Many of the original buildings still house a melting pot of businesses and cultures – all of which contribute to the area’s eclectic charm.
