Emma WhiteWatching a movie at your local cinema just isn’t cutting it anymore? Hey, we get it!
Sometimes, we crave new experiences, like the thrill of watching a movie under a blanket of stars from the comforts of our own vehicle.
And if you’re in Ottawa, you don’t have to go very far to rev up this exciting adventure. There are a few spots in nearby locations to check out, but do note that they need a few hours’ worth of drive.
So, bring a friend, pack some road trip snacks, and let’s start driving for an unforgettable movie night!
