Two waterparks for Ottawa

I get a tonne of traffic googling Ottawa’s new water park. Next summer promises to be a wet one as there are not one but TWO water parks opening in the capital. In the east end, there’s Calypso, which promises to be Canada’s largest water park — cool! And in the west end near Barrhaven, we will have Alottawata off Moodie near the 416. Both are scheduled to open in June 2010.

Edited to add: Alottawata Park has now delayed their opening until June 2012, but you can see pictures from my special sneak peek preview of Calypso Water Park or read about our visit to Calypso park the first week it opened. Fun! And check my “Ottawa Family Fun” archives for more suggestions on great things to see and do in Ottawa!
