Nice spot to walk the grounds , play sports or lounge. Lots of history on the site, both the gardens and the guided tours. Well worth checking out. Good spot for a picnic or simply a weekend stroll. The guided tour has plenty of information regarding the Governor Generals of Canada as well as the Prime Ministers.
Park has a lot of trees planted by leaders from all parts of the world. Here is nice wooden playground for children and two fontains. Unfortunately, at this moment they are closed. This place is worth visiting. Historical park in the middle of the city.
Rideau Hall Government House located at 1 Sussex dr. is the official residence of the British monarch and its Governor General. Its massive estate host visiting royalty, foreign heads of State and parliamentary galas where the prime minister and federal members of parliament are sworn into office. On the 88 acre site you will find a fountain of Hope dedicated to the late Terry Fox who through his Marathon of Hope raised money and awareness of cancer research, Ceremonial trees and lovely open gardens. There is also Rideau cottage that currently hosts Canada's Prime Minister and his family while the official Prime Minister's residence, 24 Sussex is having a major overhaul. The grounds of Rideau Hall are open to the public and it is a nice place to see. There is lots of security and even more restrictions due to covid so it is good to plan your trip from information on their web site. There has been more challenges by Canadians concerning the role of Britian"s monarchy and its governance role over Canada. Furthermore, some Governor Generals appointed by Canada's Prime Minister approved by the Queen of England have created several scandles where the Governor Generals have abused their power, taken lavish trips, decided by themselves to not fulfill their public service responsibilities. These poorly selected people may encourage change in Canada's political system. If constitutional reform was not so difficult to achieve then it probably would have happened a very long time ago. Update: On July 2, 2020 Correy Hurren drove his truck through the gates of Rideau Hall. Hurren wanted to arrest sitting Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau to make a statement over the government's COVID restrictions and the ban on assault firearms. There was over $100,000 of damage to the gate and no one was injured. Hurren was arrested peacefully and sentenced to 6 years in jail. When asked if he had any regrets, Hurren said he wished he "saw the Terry Fox statue by Parliament Hill." I have included a photo of the Terry Fox statue infront of Parliament Hill so you can see what Hurren missed seeing. Maybe you can see the statue when you come to Ottawa. If you like my reviews, photos or videos give them a thumbs up. Feel free to take advantage of the official grounds at Rideau Hall, just do it peacefully.
Beautiful place with plenty of spots to relax. Guided tours are free and take about 45 min, but the tour guide seemed a bit rushed and was hard to understand at times. Tours take you on very few rooms - I was hoping to see the greenhouses as I had seen other people go to them but I guess they are not always open to the public.
Rideau Hall is again one of those places which is a must visit for anyone visiting Ottawa. There are free guided tours available. No registration is required on weekends and walk ins are fine, there are tours every 30 min. Our experience was awesome. It is a nice way to learn a lot about the Rich Canadian History. There is no parking available and we have to use street parking which is free. The tour duration is 45 minutes.
The grounds are incredible to walk on, I passed on the tour this time. It’s fascinating to see all the people that have not only been there, but planted trees as well. I’d highly recommend going if you’ve got the time.
Rideau Hall is an interesting place in Ottawa, being the official residence of the Governor General. It is used for various official function. There is a guided tour every 2 hours providing a glimpse of the hall and its stories. Check with the people at the tentage by the road leading to the hall for timing. The ground is big and there is a small garden. There is a side entrance by MacKay Street and you may be able to find a place to park.
Rideau Hall - very interesting. Note, there is no parking area, you have to park on the side street. The tour is highly recommend. Staff are very helpful and informative.
If you see us plows please get OUT OF THE WAY, we are rushing to keep this city cleaned up and we do not have time to wait 20mins because you want to walk slow and look at the pretty lights. DO NOT go for a walk, if you can't walk in snow either...
The grounds surrounding Rideau Hall are beautiful and a lovely place to simply walk around. We took the tour of Rideau Hall which gives one a sense of this part of Canadian history and governance.
