10 Great Outdoor Spots in Ottawa

Located just across the street from the Museum of Agriculture and Food, the Fletcher Wildlife Garden aims to cultivate a series of different environments housing a variety of animals and plants. We love their cultivated rock garden and pond, the field of carefully selected wildflowers that provide food for all manner of butterflies and a large amphibian pond where you'll find frogs, turtles, ducks and blackbirds. Keen naturalists will want to check out the junior naturalists club, The Macoun Field Club. Good to know: leave the stroller at home, allow extra time to explore the swing set and remember the main trail is dog-friendly.
