Your Guide to a Long Weekend in Ottawa

activities for the long weekendottawa (May.17.11)

Cottage country has nothing on The Capital, and we have the best activities in the city to prove it.

To jump start your long weekend, head to Sippy Cup Café for your morning jolt and the first of many energy-draining activities for the kids (there's an awesome playroom attached). Then move on to one of these petting zoos for an afternoon of outdoor fun. If weather has alternate plans, head to any of these awesome indoor play zones.

It's your last chance to check out the Tulip Festival, so pack a picnic and have a ball. Wind down the day with a visit to one of these top craft stores so the kids can DIY while you make a delicious and healthy dinner.

What's a long weekend without a little R&R? Send the kids off with Dad to a playground and pamper yourself to one of the city's best manicures.
