Ottawa is the only world capital that has a museum and accessible demonstration farm at its heart. The Canada Agriculture Museum is on the 500-hectare Central Experimental Farm, founded as a research station in 1886. Canada's unique agricultural heritage is featured at the Museum, where you can explore the sights and sounds of typical farm life.
Visit the animal barns and special exhibits at the largest urban working farm and research station in Canada. Discover the many breeds of dairy cattle and see a modern dairy barn in operation. In the Small Animal Barn you can meet sheep and lambs, pigs and piglets, chickens, rabbits and goats. In the Horse and Cattle Barn, you can see Clydesdale horses and seven breeds of beef cattle. Wander through the Dominion Arboretum and the ornamental gardens right next door.
