6 Cultural Activities in Ottawa

Visit the Museum of Nature. Admission is free on Thursday nights, and kids up to age two are free at all times. Exhibits are at kid height—it's easy for them to pop their head up through the 'hole in the ice' in the polar bear diorama to get a seal's eye view of the situation, for example—and they're allowed, even encouraged, to touch many specimens, samples and tools of the trade.
