Kanata Travel Guide

Welcome to Kanata, Ontario

Only a short distance from Canada's capital city Ottawa, is the vibrant suburban community of Kanata. In 2001, Kanata amalgamated with the new City of Ottawa. Although the area is a bedroom community to its larger neighbour, it also has its own lively and growing business centre. Once dominated by the agricultural industry, Ontario's Kanata is now home to a variety of hi-tech employers. Along with a growing business culture, there are also many attractions to explore in the area. Kanata boasts a lively nightlife scene, with venues that range from energetic nightclubs to laid back restaurants, and plenty of family-friendly activities. Galloping Goat Farm and Petting Zoo is about a 10 minute drive from Kanata and features lovable storybook farm creatures such as ponies, sheep, alpacas and chickens. If planning on staying a few days in Kanata, there's a wide selection of comfortable and luxurious hotel rooms to choose from.
