Village Dunnd’s: Your Go-To Destination for Family Fun Just Outside Ottawa
If you grew up around the National Capital Region, heading across the river into the Gatineau Hills for a weekend adventure is practically a rite of passage. Whenever clients ask me where they can take the kids—or where to find a genuinely fun weekend escape just minutes from downtown Ottawa—I always point them toward Chelsea, Quebec.
Nestled right at the foot of Gatineau Park, Village Dunnd’s Chelsea QC is an absolute gem. It’s the kind of whimsical, high-energy local attraction that turns an ordinary Saturday into an unforgettable family outing. Whether you’re perfecting your putt on their scenic 18-hole course or grabbing a cold treat on the terrace, this spot captures the absolute best of local outdoor recreation.
What to Expect & Highlights
- 18-Hole Mini-Golf Course: Beautifully laid out to challenge adults while keeping things entirely fun and accessible for beginners.
- The Jungle Play Structure: A massive multi-level outdoor play area featuring giant trampolines, play structure, and a dedicated sandbox for the little ones.
- All-Weather Arcade Room: Fully open year-round, packed with modern and classic games to keep the fun going rain or shine.
- Bistro-Bar & Ice Cream Shop: The ultimate reward after a competitive round of golf—enjoy local bites, a cold drink on the terrace, or a classic soft-serve ice cream.
Where to Find It
- Address: 11 Notch Road, Chelsea, Quebec (J9B 1G5)
- Neighborhood Vibe: Perfectly situated in picturesque Chelsea, right at the gateway to Gatineau Park, making it an easy and scenic drive from anywhere in the Ottawa-Gatineau region.
When to Go
- Hours: Open daily from early morning through the evening
- Insider Tip: Beat the afternoon crowd by arriving right when they open at 9:00 AM for a peaceful morning round of mini-golf before exploring the jungle play area.
Fast Facts & Trivia
- More Than Just Golf: While it started as a beloved local mini-golf spot, Village Dunnd’s has evolved into a complete multi-activity adventure park featuring massive indoor and outdoor expansions.
- Party & Group Central: It is a local favorite for birthday parties and team-building events, complete with private pergola and room rentals.
- A True All-Seasons Destination: Thanks to their indoor arcade additions, the fun doesn’t stop when the weather cools down or a sudden summer shower rolls through.
