CHOOSE YOUR VICE

When purchasing any pass, you can also add on three indulgent vices:

NEW! CARNIVORE

Dive into our meat-lovers charcuterie experience, curated by Ottawa’s own Michael McKenzie of Seed to Sausage. Grab your personal charcuterie board and tuck into smoked ham, capicolo, genoa and calabrese salamis, nduja, blue cheese jalapeno and the ever-popular cheese curd smokies.

NEW! CHOCO-CHIC

Do you love chocolate? Who doesn’t! Brand new this year, Choco-CHIC is the ultimate chocolate experience. Curated by beloved local chocolate maker Rochef Chocolatier, look for the six-foot chocolate fountain, sample the fondue bar consisting of milk, dark, and milk caramel chocolates, step up to the truffle bar and taste over 24 handmade varieties, sip on dark, milk, caramel, white or dulcey hot chocolate, savour chocolate covered blueberries, almonds, and cranberries, and bite into almond, caramel, or cranberry Bark!
