Funhaven is one of the best things to happen in Ottawa in a long time. If you’re looking for things to do in Ottawa, this is it! Laser tag, bumper cars, simulators, arcade games and much more!

A bit about Funhaven, a new family fun centre for kids in the west end of Ottawa: laser tag, arcade games, bumper cars, simulators and more. Lots of fun to be found for Ottawa families!
A birthday party for the grown-ups at 4Cats Arts Studio in Ottawa.
And it includes a cupcake from Thimblecakes: A pretty necklace from Zahara in Westboro: Time with my family, spent outdoors (more about my birthday excursion later!): What else? Hmm. Dinner, which included a timely wine delivery from SavvyCompany, amazing sushi from MHK (in Westboro too!) and home made ice cream. A great day indeed! Share […]
My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark. We have two daughters: Emma (19) and Sarah (17). I am the managing editor of our community newspaper, the Kitchissippi Times. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger, and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999... which makes me either a total dinosaur or a veteran, I'm not sure which! The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, family travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa for families. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
