If you need new wheels for your ride, you’ll have to look elsewhere—the Canadian Tire Centre is the biggest indoor arena in Ottawa. Home to the Ottawa Senators , the venue is comprised of three different levels, with premium seating and suites available close to the ice on the lower level.

The Ottawa area may be less populous than other Canadian cities, but that hasn’t stopped a number of artists from pulling through town. Celine Dion has played the Canadian Tire Centre no fewer than 12 times over her career. Several other popular acts have stopped by as well, including David Bowie, Metallica, Rihanna and Shania Twain.

Besides hockey, the venue has hosted sporting events ranging from indoor lacrosse and Ontario Hockey League games to college basketball, including the Canadian Interuniversity Sport men’s basketball championship.

The venue is situated in a fairly remote area to the west of downtown Ottawa directly off of Ontario Highway 417. Because the center is somewhat isolated and there’s not a lot to do nearby, it’s a good idea to eat and drink at the arena or back in Ottawa. There’s no reason not to eat on-site, though—hungry fans can choose anything from burgers and pizza to an upscale cocktail lounge.
