Next, we will take a short drive down to Lansdowne where we will then take a private tour of TD Place where multiple professional teams play such as: CFL’s Ottawa REDBLACKS, CPL’s Atlético Ottawa, and the OHL’s Ottawa 67’s. Who knows, we might even get a chance to get onto the field to kick a field goal!

Activity 3 – CF Rideau Center and Byward Market – Self-guided Shopping and Exploring

 

Description:

Ottawa has a lot to offer but we realize that sightseeing or venue tours might not be for you. We’ve got a beautiful Mall and Market Area in downtown Ottawa, as well as several great restaurants, patios, and lounges. We will have members of our team walk to these destinations to give you the chance to grab some food, browse the local stores, and go shopping. You’ll also have the chance to explore a few great landmarks and sights between the Hotel and the Market (like Parliament Hill, the Ottawa Locks/Rideau Canal, and the National Gallery of Canada). Each participant will have to return to the hotel on their own on their own schedule (take as much time out and about as you’d like!)

Cost: $0.00 (Just bring some shopping money!)

Departure Time from Hotel: 11:00am (will walk from the Hotel towards the Market)

Return Time to Hotel: (suggest return time of 4:30pm)

Attendance Capacity: unlimited
