8 Budget-Friendly Outings to Do this Holiday Break in Ottawa

Our favourite skate spot in town is right outside City Hall on the Rink of Dreams. Totally free, not as bumpy as the canal (when it's frozen, that is), and with a warm hut for changing and hot chocolate nearby, it's the perfect way to celebrate the coming of winter. Bonus: it's a fun and festive way to tire them out and ensure they have a good night's sleep.
