The Canadian Museum of Nature re-opened its doors on September 5th! This fun-filled museum close to Lowertown has some new rules for visiting, so make sure you check them out before planning your trip. Enjoy their new exhibition, Planet Ice: Mysteries of the Ice Ages until January 3rd. This is the perfect indoor activity for those chilly fall days.

The fall season brings a coveted selection of treats and beverages to cafes and restaurants across Ottawa. Here are just a few of the delicious items you can find in the city:

Ottawa's famous BeaverTails offers a special PumpkinTail, which is topped with pumpkin pie filling, cinnamon and whipped cream.

Make a stop at French bakery Moulin de Provence for their classic shortbread cookies. In the fall they come in themed shapes such as pumpkin and maple leaves!

Visit Moo Shu Ice Cream to see what special flavours they’ve created based on holidays such as the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival and Thanksgiving. 

I hope you're inspired by this list when planning your fall activities in Ottawa. While the season is short, it's rich with celebration and activity.
