9 Canada Day Celebrations in Ottawa

In Claudette Cain Park in Riverside South, you'll find all sorts of activities aimed at the younger set. There's a petting zoo, pony rides, balloon animals, face paint and tattoos. Little ones can jump on inflatables, meet superheroes and enjoy a show. There's cake served at 1 pm and cotton candy all day long, plus a BBQ. Everything except the BBQ is included in a $10 pass, required for all kids aged 3 and up—but it's worth it. Best for: ages 0 to 8
