- Linda S15 contributionsWonderful tours of Parliament Hill!We visited the old parliament building, the House of Commons (temporary), and the senate. Our guides, in order, were Matthew, Haley, and Sasha. All three were wonderful. We’re from the U.S., so we don’t totally understand the parliamentary system of government. Our guides changed that! They were so knowledgeable and also patient with everyone who had questions. I recommend these tours to all Ottawa visitors! Another nice part of the visit to Parliament Hill is the 10:00 military band performance. The band wear the bright red uniforms that are very similar to British uniforms. It is a wonderful opportunity to hear great music!Visited August 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 21 September 2023
- nwaynesworld2,346 contributionsParliament HillThe Parliament of Canada comprises three buildings, East Block, West Block and Centre Block or Parliament Hill. Centre Block is under construction until 2031. As a result, a temporary Parliament has been constructed within West Block. A free tour of the temporary Parliament is available; however, you must obtain your ticket in advance (online). Arrive before you tour time as you must pass through a security check. The tour lasts just over an hour. Our tour guide, Kennedy, was very knowledgeable. Kennedy was well spoken and very professional. Photographs are permitted inside and around the outside of the buildings. The building has stairs and elevators. In addition, there is a gift shop.Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 7 October 2023

There are several buildings on "the Hill", but pre-booking is required in order to enter and tour any of them.

- spud0018Mississauga, Canada845 contributionsParliamentary ToursInteresting and very organized tours. There are 3 different free tours. We were able to attend both the Senate and West Block tours. Wish there were better instructions on the website for where you're supposed to go for the tours - ended up asking Parliamentary Security agent. Neat to see the architecture of the spaces where they have now housed the Senate and House of Commons temporarily. Make sure you book tours on-line. You need to show up early for your tours to go through a security checkpoint.Visited November 2023Travelled with familyWritten 18 November 2023

- Helen ELondon, United Kingdom66 contributionsHouse of Commons West Block TourWe booked a tour of the House of Commons (West Block), online several weeks in advance, but unfortunately had to cancel the day before the tour due to sickness (see my review of Zak’s diner in the Byward market). The cancellation process was very easy- just a phone call. During the call I was told not to worry about rebooking because additional tickets always become available overnight. Sure enough at 8:00 am on the day we decided to go, there were four places available for each time slot. Again, the online booking process was easy. When we finally did the tour we were well-rewarded. It was simple, straightforward, informative and definitely worth the time investment!Visited March 2024Travelled with familyWritten 12 March 2024

Traveling with two younger children, by myself, I opted out in doing the tour. When we went the WEST tower was closed for renovations.
However, we did watch Sound and Light Show on Parliament Hill – Northern Lights show, which was spectacular to see.
I would suggest bringing a blanket to sit on and some snacks to keep the kids occupied.The hill gets pretty packed, so I recommend arriving before hand to get a good seat. We sat in the far back and could see and hear everything perfect. The show is about 35-45 minutes long, kids kinda got restless 30 minutes in. They were amazed with the light show and I found the history very interesting.
Parking isn't available at the Parliament, I suggest taking public transportation or taxi. We did manage to find parking a couple blocks down which costed us about $15.
I will definitely do this again. There is no cost, so for us frugal mommy travellers, this is a perfect stop to make. #homeschoolingwin

The Canadian Parliament Building is one of "must visits" for Ottawa. The exterior architecture is eye-catching and is the landmark of Ottawa, you can't miss it.
Better to reserve tickets online in advance.
Unlike most parliaments in the world where both the Senate and House of Commons are located in the same building.
The Senate is inside the Government Conference Center across street from Fairmont Chateau Laurier. About 10 minutes non-stop walk from the Parliament Building Entrance. Only the House of Commons is inside the Parliament Building.
In Canada, it's located in two separate buildings. You need two separate tickets to enter both. One for the Senate and another one for the House of Commons. Both are worth visiting, so do both if you have time.
AND, taking the guided tour is the ONLY way to enter both buildings.
The tour offers two languages: English and French. Canada is a bilingual country. Each tour lasts about 45 minutes to an hour. All curators for the House of Commons are well trained and provided similar or not identical information. That shows high quality of the curators, though the curator quality at the Senate varies. Jacklyn, for example, was average, did not go into many details or share about activities and things that took place in the Senate.
If you don't have advanced reservations, visit the visitor center inside of the Parliament Building will allow you to obtain entry tickets; and that's the ONLY way. If you don't have the ticket and showing up at the Senate, you can't enter. They will send you over to the Parliament Building and go back, which can be another 30-60 minute round trip assuming no long lines for ticket purchase.
Be on time. Because it's so popular, if you are late, they may not be able to let you in because they want to control # of visitors inside of the building at any given time for security purpose.
Most staff were helpful and courteous except for a staff called Gregg at the Parliament Visitor Center Entrance that was inflexible. When I arrived a bit late, he immediately told me I must queue in line and waited, perhaps catching the last 5 minutes of the tour if I was lucky. And if they couldn't clear the security, I would not be able to enter nor go for a later tour even if there were spots available. I asked him what I could see and couldn't see the last five minutes, he couldn't provide any specifics either, and tried to send me away.
There were other staff who practiced active listening by providing specifics and helped me get a ticket for a later tour. I don't appreciate Gregg, but I am thankful for other staff who helped me work this out.
When visiting the Parliament in UK, the curator talks about how Queen Elizabeth and members of the Senate and House of Commons would do on the day of opening the session each year. The Canadian parliament tours did not provide similar type of information, which I wish they had done it.

My family of children (age 5 and 8), parents and grandparents really enjoyed this tour. We had booked our House of Commons Tour online ahead of time about a month in advance. The ticket said proof of vaccination is required, but no one asked on either tour for it. Masks were required and provided. While I booked the house of commons tour well in advance, I booked the senate tour only 2 days in advance.
We really enjoyed our tour guide for both tours, once you pass the security check in, there is a washroom and waiting area while you wait for your tour. You can only enter the security check 30 mins before your tour.
If you can only choose one, I recommend the house of commons, but the senate was a cool experience too, as it is built inside a former train station.

My wife has mentioned to me that she had never seen the government buildings in Ottawa, so I had reserve tickets a month in advance. We drove to Ottawa from New Brunswick, booked a room at the Ottawa Marriott so that we would be within walking distance of the House of Commons and the Senate, both for which I had tickets to visit.
We went to the entrance to the House of Commons at the appointed time, and were told that there were no tours that day due to the stat holiday, which seem to be sprouting up like weeds for government workers. The following week, I called the parliamentary tour office to discuss this tremendous waste of time and money that was caused for me and they said that the tours were cancelled because they had no tour guides. They said that they notified all the ticketholders on the 28th of September, but on the day of the scheduled tour, I checked my email and spam, and there was nothing. What a waste of time and money. Yet again, the Government of Canada, fails to deliver to its citizens. Stuff happens, but TELL US!. Look what we put up with under this Trudeau government... inability to issue passports, inability to get people through security at airports, poor management of health care, inability to manage the border efficiently. And in this case, the inability to even honour a tour date which was scheduled and for which I have tickets, or to even properly notify me that the tour was cancelled. So simple, but not for the government of Canada. Yet, I send in my taxes on time. At least I am dependable.
The buildings are beautiful, but unfortunately the government issues tickets for a tour that did nor that they planned to conduct. Another Government of Canada let down.

Tour of West Block was unfortunately quite boring and short- the tour guide seemed uninterested and tells you that every guide "makes their tour unique", but what we got was just a generic look around the House of Commons. All we got was a view of the Sitting Chamber and of a look at an unused conference room. You could hear another tour guide presenting to another group, and that group actually got to go into the Sitting Chamber ! (behind a metal barrier, but still....).
I understand that a government building can be quite secretive, but why have a tour at all if the tour guides are not interested and they can't show you much of anything?

Arrived in Ottawa for a mini getaway for the long weekend! Fist night we took in the light show at the Parliament Buildings. Watch the 150 years of Canadian History - using the parliament buildings as the movie screen and the synced audio was truly amazing! Best of all it was FREE. We read an earlier review that advised showing up early and to bringing lawn chairs -- which was helpful! and we were able to get a few travel lawn chairs online on sale (less than 2lbs each with their own travel case) to bring along)
We got there about 1/2 hour before the show started and setup on the back lawn. We estimated that there were about 5,000 other people on the lawn and on the curbs across the street, including a number of families with small children. The entire show was about 30 minutes or so. It was truly such a great thing to experience and well put together! Made you proud to be a Canadian. Kudos to the organizers! Definitely worth the time!

This is a long overdue review.
This year I visited Ottawa during the labor day weekend for 2 nights. I booked via snap travel a text based booking portal. My booking was confirmed and I received confirmation email.
The drive to Ottawa after work was great. It seemed everything was going as per plan until I got to hotel reception desk and find out I wasn’t booked. I was totally perplexed and shocked to find it. Front desk agent couldn’t do much as there were no rooms available it turns out Labour day weekend is the busiest weekends of the year.
Anyhow at this point I tried calling snap travel company and they kept telling me they are trying to resolve this problem on emergency basis but no resolution.
I was stuck in the reception waiting area wondering what l to do next. Finally the General Manager xxxxxxxx stepped in. He was very kind and courteous. I believe at that time they found out they had one cancellation that came in he offered me that room complimentary for one night with a promise to try and find a solution next day morning. Next day when I bumped into him during breakfast he informed that I could stay the 2nd night complementary as well.
I am extremely thankful to xxxxxxx for accommodating me… next time I come to Ottawa this is the place I will be staying and yes lesson learnt will not be booking through a 3rd party will book directly though IHG website

Not review for parliament building but only eternal flame structure. Always beautiful to see, but this time it was hard scene. Very unease scene, makes ones stomach turn. And it’s good, that one feels this, feel the empathy and pain/suffering of our fellow aboriginal Canadians. All those kids toys and shoes strewn about is very impactful and visceral. I hope things will move forward and something good can come out of something horrible. Peace everyone

We didn't do the guided tours of the buildings. We watched the light show, which was spectacular, taking the audience through Canada's history and not shying away from the more negative aspects.
We went back the following morning to view the changing of the guard - as we were aware - but essentially it was a military band playing tunes, narrated so you knew what was playing and who wrote it. The Star Wars theme was the highlight for me.
How the personnel didn't melt in the heat in their military outfits amazes me. It was around 10am in the morning and it was rather hot.

Some majestic buildings to be seen here, and spectacular at night. Shame there seems to be construction all over the place.
The Parliament building echos of the English Houses of Parliament with its clock tower looking almost like Big Ben, it is known as the Peace tower. Hidden behind the main building is the Parliament library.
Then you also have majestic buildings either side facing into the (almost) square. One is the legislative seat and the other administrative building.
the Centennial flame sits to the front of the buildings and central in the grassed area.
Off to the right hand side of the buildings and opposite the National War Memorial (across a very busy road) is the 1812 War Memorial. All of this is to the right of a section of the Rideau Canal.
So you can see loads within short distances.
Enjoyed seeing all this but do not have any strong desire to return.

I have tickets booked to tour the new Senate (old train station). Is there a restaurant inside which the public can access food?
Written 27 October 2019
It is like a 20 - 30 minutes tour inside . You go through security and wait for your turn in the lobby . In the lobby area , I DID NOT see any food area / vending machine for food . And since it is a short tour , I do not see why anyone would need to eat there ...
It is close to mall , restaurants if you google it , map it out , so then after your tour you can walk to these places... it is walking distance .
go to website ( visit period parl period ca) to reserve your time and they have some info there as well
Thanks for reading. I hope this helps.

no there is no fees to see the parliament hill. You can even do the tour of house of commons, senate and east block free of charge. You need to book your tours online

If the Centre Block building is currently closed, can you still go up to the Peace tower?
Written 21 May 2019
No. They literally do not have doors that open in Center Block right now. No one can get in there. The real doors are now located in the West block building.
Written 9 June 2019
If you only had time to do one tour which would be the best one? Senate, House of Commons or East Block?
Written 29 March 2019
The new temporary House of Commons is impressive with its glassed ceiling and if you can get in while the house is sitting it would be an opportunity as their are fewer public gallery seats. Having just opened up recently you would be one of the first to see it. On the other hand you can tour most of the other important areas including the Library and up to the clock on a self-guided tour in an hour.
