I've got a long layover in Ottawa, (on my first flight back to the UK for 4 years).
I no longer hold any status, so can't enjoy the lounge.
I arrive in Ottawa at 15.30 and need to be back at the airport by 22.00, any suggestions on ways to pass the time?

Thanks,

For those who are into gambling, one can go to the pseudo casino at thre race track (slot machines only); one can also go to the main casino across the river at Lac Leamy (in Gatineau, Quebec). If you have transportation to the latter (ie car rental), not only are there the usual casino activities, but you could enjoy a good meal/drinks (in the casino, or next door at the Hilton Hotel), some shopping from the gift shop, etc.
I like the ByWard Market area. Lots of restaurants and little shops and stuff...
Just so you don't get confused it's actually route 97 that serves the airport (it used to be called route 96). It would be well worth the trip though on the bus (it's fast and frequent - comes every 15 minutes at least). That's if you don't mind it getting overcrowded once it starts getting close to downtown.
But almost anything worth seeing in Ottawa is within short walking distance of Route 97, so you have lots of options.
Hope that helps!
Yes, you're right -- oops. (It was my part of the route that was renumbered to 96. ;) :D)
I think you can see everything in Ottawa in that amount of time :D CBC Ottawa - Features - Senators on CBC - Main::

How 'bout investing in a cream pie... :D
Mind you after you're arrested, you might not make it back to the airport within that 6 hours window. ;)
... and walking around Parliament Hill does not appeal, there is the South Keys Cinema on Route 97 (5 mins from the Airport) where you could easily kill a couple of hours or so. You will also find the usual dining suspects as at all suburban malls (Kelseys, Denny's, Outback, Montana's as well as McDonalds) Walmart, Future Shop, Pier 1 and other big box stores also there...

I would rent a car and drive to Montreal to satisfy this craving for Schwartz's! Its just about time to have another brisket sent out by fedex.
You can always see the National Art Gallery. It has free admission but charges for its special exhibits. Around the area is also the Canadian mint ($5 tour but not worth it) and the Parliament buildings (free tour). Personally, I like the Currency Museum (across from the Parliament Buildings on Sparks Street) since it's free and I like that sort of thing.

I was just there last week and none of the ice sculptures are still there.
Not anymore -- there is now a general admission fee to the permenant exhibit.
Oh, by the way, our grass is now yellow. Time to bring the spray paint out. :D

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I appreciate them.

Grab the 96 and head downtown for a walk.

Really? Good thing I saw those 3 Van Gogh paintings before that happened... ;)
At the airport? Nothing.
Grab the 96 and head downtown for a walk. You can have dinner at the Parliament Pub (on Wellington right across from the Hill) or at D'Arcy McGee (at the corner of Sparks and Elgin across from the War Memorial) -- those are two of my favourite places to eat...
Have a walk around Parliament and the downtown area -- pretty nice. Depending on when you are in Ottawa, you can walk to Major Hill's Park and it's a pretty nice lookout. You could also take a peak at the National Art Gallery -- not sure at what time it closes.
The bus to downtown is 25 minutes or so and is $2.50 cash or $1.90 for tickets (you can pick them up at the information centre, I believe).

Go to the Kid's house and drink Polish Vodka with him........ :D !
Given that the OP will be there in late PM, you can't beat the Byward market at that time of day for atmosphere and people watching. Grab a glass of wine at the William street wine bar or a glass of suds at the pub on Clarence street. The national gallery is just around that corner if you feel like taking a quick look. If you like museums and still have time you could catch an IMAX movie at the Civilization museum in Gatineau, just across from the National gallery. There is a very nice dining room there as well.
