Ottawa March Break 2026: Where to Take the Kids
March Break is here, and Ottawa has no shortage of family-friendly options. Whether you are looking for something educational, active, or just delicious, the capital delivers.
Canada Aviation and Space Museum
The Canada Aviation and Space Museum at 11 Aviation Parkway is one of Ottawa's most impressive family destinations, with full-scale aircraft from early biplanes to space-age technology. Kids can see planes up close and learn about Canada's role in aviation history. Plan for at least two hours.
The King Eddy
For a family meal everyone can agree on, The King Eddy is a beloved Ottawa diner serving classic burgers, creamy milkshakes, and all-day breakfast. It is the kind of place where adults actually enjoy the food too.
Skate and Play
Burn off energy at Skate and Play, where kids and adults can roller skate and hit the arcade games. Perfect for a March Break afternoon when outdoor options are limited by Ottawa's unpredictable spring weather.
Top Karting
For thrill-seekers, Top Karting offers indoor go-kart racing open seven days a week - kids old enough to race will love it.
Ottawa Museums Pass
If you are planning multiple cultural stops over March Break, the Ottawa Museums Pass covers nine museums and galleries. It is available as a one-day or three-day pass - for a limited time, the three-day pass is just $30.
