Once again this week, there are all kinds of activities in the Outaouais region to enjoy in your free time!
Festivals and events
A visit to the Fairbairn House Heritage Centre
Want to spend a nice day exploring the area? A stone’s throw from the famous Wakefield covered bridge (worth a visit!) is William Fairbairn’s family home, built in 1861. Exhibition, guided tours, outdoor stage, access to hiking trails … Bring a picnic and you’ll have all the ingredients for a beautiful day outdoors!
45 Wakefield Heights Road, Wakefield.
Daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Dunn-D’s Mini-Golf
For true golf lovers, the season opened a few weeks ago. For those who don’t excel at this sport but still enjoy whacking a ball around, Dunn-D’s Mini-Golf is the perfect place! This is definitely the most spectacular mini-golf in the Gatineau-Ottawa region and perfect for young families. The first 9 holes are even accessible to people with mobility impairments!
11 Notch Road, Chelsea.
May 4 to October 28.
$9.99 to $29.99.

A day trip to the Petite-Nation
Why not take advantage of the weekend to go on an excursion to the Petite-Nation? Start the day at Plaisance Falls, then head to Montebello to (re)discover the beauty of the Manoir Papineau National Historic Site and the Fairmont Le Château Montebello. Round out the day at the Brasseurs de Montebello microbrewery and pub.
