We recommend leaving anytime between 8 am - 9 am.

You can bring your pup on Quirky Adventures! The trip includes patio options for when it's warm & takeaway that work well for your pet. There will also be at least one dog-friendly activity at each stop. If you bring your furry friend, you will be unable to bring them into any indoor suggestions.

We recommend bringing between 2- 5 people on your surprise road trip adventure.

None of the stops require an entrance fee.

After booking your trip, we'll send you a confirmation email with a few recommended accommodation options.

Great trip, but a few things to know

I did this trip with my husband and we had a great time, but had a few notes for people doing this trip in the future. The biggest thing is the fourth stop has something that closes at 4 PM - by the time we opened the last envelope it was too late for us to visit. I'd recommend trying to arrive at the first stop by 9 AM so you have time to enjoy all the stops. Also, BRING BUG SPRAY. We got devoured by mosquitoes at one of the stops and skipped another activity because we couldn't take any more mosquitoes. The second stop also doesn't have cell service so make sure you print the map from your package or have it saved on your phone if you use the PDF option.

We loved all the places we did go, though, and will definitely do another Guess Where trip in the future!

Loved this trip!

I did this trip with my best friend and we had so much fun!
There were a few things that made us feel like we went back in time, like ruins and a museum. The suggested lunch spot was good and you get a discount if you show your trip book. All around great day ... looking forward to doing more trips

Best day trip from Ottawa

I've done a couple of GWT trips within Ottawa and this has been my favourite so far. Loved the hikes, a few hidden gems and some really cute towns. Bring bug spray in the summer time! 5/5
