Fall Rhapsody- Gatineau Park
A must see for the whole family.
Saunders Farm
Haunting Season is now underway at Saunders Farm in Munster. The Farm launched its most eek-citing and delicious Haunting Season ever.
Visit a Pumpkin Patch
It’s not to early to get pick out the perfect pumpkin for this year’s spectacular Jack-0-Lantern. There are many pumpkin pataches and stands around the region. Nothing could be more perfect on a crisp Thanksgiving weekend.
Carleton University Butterfly Exhibit
The Ottawa Butterfly Show is an annual event that runs daily from Saturday,October 5, 2013, to Monday, October 14, 2013, in the greenhouses of Carleton University’s biology department.
Some butterflies love to land on colourful clothing or you could just put your hand underneath and they would climb on. So bring your kids or your camera or both and enjoy this exhibit! But hurry, it’s only on as long as the butterflies’ lifespan!
Experimental Farm
At this time of year, many Canadian farms are harvesting the food crops that will sustain us throughout the year. To celebrate the harvest, join us at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, where you will see farm machinery, such as a baler and a model of a grain elevator, in action! Test your knowledge on Canadian food crops, such as apples, corn and pumpkins, by taking part in various challenges and talking to local producers (local produce will be available to purchase on site).
Pumpkinferno
Come and stroll through a hauntingly beautiful and spellbinding outdoor exhibit of now close to 6,000 hand-carved pumpkins, set against a stirring night-time backdrop just inside the gates of historic Upper Canada Village. Marvel at this eclectic display of scenes from exotic places and historic ages, meet up with forest animals and sea-born creatures, see story book heroes, mythical characters, cultural icons and more …. all carved from pumpkins!
