Unveil the Supernatural: 11 Spine-Chilling Ghost Tours for Families

Who wants to go on a Haunted Walk Ottawa tour?


Looking to explore Ottawa a little more?   What better way to keep the whole family entertained then with a haunted walk tour!  Listen to the spooky ghost stories of some of the most famous landmarks in town.  



There are several family friendly haunted walks available including the Original Haunted Walk, Ghosts and the Gallows and Crime and Punishment Jail.



The stories are all well researched from old newspapers, history books and those who have had some of the more recent encounters with a ghostly presence.




We took the Original Haunted Walk Tour with two teenagers, a nine and 11 year old on a cool summer evening. We heard the stories of the ghosts of the Chateau Laurier, City Hall and the Lisgar High School buildings and more.  The kids even think they spotted a ghost in one of the windows!   Our guide was an excellent story teller who showed us an interesting side of Ottawa. He was dressed in a cape and carried a lit lantern to add to the ambiance.



This is a walking tour that lasted an hour and a half and is suitable for older children and teenagers.  The stories are not too scary to bring along your younger children but they may tire easily and there are some stairs to navigate so not stroller friendly.  Tours are in the evening with various start times.
