Central Experimental Farm — Attraction in Ottawa

The central experimental farm is a very beautiful place to visit. Especially if you're someone who likes taking pictures like myself. It has lots of nice spots to take some of the coolest photos for the gram(Instagram) LOL. Also, if you have kids, it has a farm animal side where the kids can supposedly see, play and feed the animals(we didn't visit this side, so I don't have much information).

The only downside for me though was the sunflower field, which was what we originally went there to see. Apparently there's supposedly a sunflower field on this farm, but we spent almost the entire day walking and searching for it, but never came across any. And to make things worse, we had no one to ask for information or direction as to if the sunflower field exists there and where to it.

Overall, I was a little disappointed after our visit. But still a nice...

We went to visit her for the first time yesterday with my daughters and I find that there is animal cruelty. The calves are only 3 days old and are separated 48 hours from their mother. For them to produce milk, this is a total dispatch knowing that the first months are the most important for any living being. The approach of showing this as normal is inhumane. More than the girl who was present explaining she told us that the calf could get sick if she drank milk directly from the cow ??? and that it was the best for both of them. I perceive this as the cow is a machine to produce milk and have children and then take them away from her and she continues to produce milk.... don't you have rights over her feelings? about attachment with calves? . Horrible experience that they want to completely normalize something that is...

The museum is a great place for children to learn about agriculture. Great playground. Used to have a nice picnic area with outdoor tables. No tables anymore because of the quarantine, but hopefully they put them back when its over. Real working farm with all kinds of livestock and farm equipment. Many kilometers of trails to walk or to ride your bicycle. Very nice flower garden where scores of newlyweds come for their photos shoots. The only downside is that its only enjoyable May to September as it gets to cold for prolonged outdoor activities. If you find yourself in the National Capital Region in the summer, then definitely visit Central Experimental Farm. Your kids...
