Celebrating Canada Day at the Canada Agriculture Museum

Posted by andrea tomkins in: - Ottawa for kids|Easy ways to make kids happy|Ottawa

This morning we took a loop around the Canada Agriculture Museum (a.k.a The Central Experimental Farm) and the ornamental gardens. You couldn’t ask for a better day weather wise. Plus it was free! (Although you do pay for parking there now.)

There was a lot going on today, and a lot of friends we wanted to visit. Sidebar: have you ever been licked by a cow?

It was a great way to spend a few hours. And now it’s time for a nap. I need to recharge before the fireworks!

We were in Ottawa for the long weekend (first time in several years – oh, how I missed it!) We ALMOST went here but Star Wars won out (among others) Now I’m sad we missed it! How is visiting in the winter??

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). During the day I work as a writer at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
