Dan's techniques are unlike anything I have ever experienced. He is so original and puts all of himself in his work. I have had other massages which are ok but seem like text book mechanical repetition of motions learned. Dan puts all of his soul and energy in every movement and no two massages are identical. He responds to what your body needs at that time. I view him as a brilliant artist who is performing a symphony, creating masterpieces with each movement, each breath; it is pure bliss and brings you to levels of relaxation and peace like I have never experienced. Dan has the energy of a healer, and it shows in everything he does. He is kind and generous and funny and simply in tune with his clients. I cannot recommend him enough!!!

Located within the Canadian Museum of History (formerly the Canadian Museum of Civilization) Hands on adventure! The Canadian Children's Museum is one of the most popular attractions at the Canadian Museum of History, and has been since it opened its doors in 1989. Passports in hand, visitors discover one incredible destination after another. Whether on a visit to homes in the International Village, a trek to a desert pyramid, a jaunt to the Port of Entry to help unload a cargo ship, or a stroll through the bustling Market Bazaar, visitors encounter endless ways to learn about the world and one another. A world of discovery where parents have as much fun as their kids!

I love this museum! My kids adore it as well!! There are a dozen little "kingdoms" you can visit, each one gives you a stamp for your passport! Ha ha It can get busy, and staff supervision is limited to the crane on the boat. The wifi is weak and drops often! Pokeone stops are all over! Make sure your phone is fully charged before you go!

20 minutes from downtown Ottawa, this lake has two sandy beaches patrolled by lifeguards.
Reviewed By Grace-Aguiar - Montreal, Canada
Beautiful and very peaceful place if you are lucky enough to get there early in the morning as it could get very crowded later in the day. The lake is so serene, the fall colors in full bloom are amazing. This is a must visit for hikers, nature lovers and photographers.

A must to visit! Gatineau park is just beautiful. Close to Ottawa, with so many lakes including Pink lake (green), trails, wildlife, breathtaking views especially from Belvèdere where you can see as far as the Outaouais River. Good variety of restaurants (Chelsea) it does not matter the season of the year, each one is unique in its own way. In Autunm enjoy the colors is just magic!!! My favorite place in the Outaouais.

Always something for the children, be it face painting, interesting displays with a learning message which is fun for kids, or in winter it may be slides and snow sculptures for the entire family... Always worth a visit when stuff is going on. If nothing is on, then it is a great place to have a pic nic with views of parliament, Nepean point, Embassies, the Ottawa river or the close by Museum.

We were here twice during the last four days, returning today for the special Neanderthal exhibition that opened today. It is outstanding, but the special “Unceded” exhibition, focusing on indigenous North American architecture, is also excellent. The two floors of Canadian history are a great improvement on what was available for view when this was still the Museum of Civilization. The Grand Hall offers the best selection of Northwest Pacific art and artifacts this side of the B.C. Provincial Museum in Victoria, and the Museum of Anthropology on the UBC campus in Vancouver. It leads into the “First Peoples” exhibition, which is also well worth your while. A special treat is the complete collection of Canadian and British North American postage stamps. Highly recommended!

Friendly staff and nice runs. As an experienced skier you will probably quickly be a bit bored, but the area is really close to Ottawa.
