It was great to sit on Parliament hill watching this presentation. It was very, very well done. Even watched it twice. Captured the Canadian spirit really well.

This is a nice family attraction to take in. Small bleacher section is available. Bring a chair or blanket to sit on the grass.

We found the bleachers a little tight for sitting but on a nice night, bring a blanket and sit on the grass. Each time we see this show, we love it and find something new that piques our interest. Before the show, watch for rabbits - so cute!

You can smell the b.s. the moment you enter the place. How can you have these 330 lairs/thieves/shantymen represent this great country is beyond me.

The show tells the history of Canada through sound, light, images and music. I was impressed.You can bring a blanket or lawn chair and enjoy sitting outside.

very impressive sound and light show about the history of Canada. Although the truth is a bit distorted but may be better for promoting peace and friendship among nations

There is lots of ground to sit on and views are great from everywhere so you don't need to show up early to get a good seat. If you can, bring something (a towel) to sit on; we found the grass slightly damp even though it hadn't rained. The light display was excellent and we especially enjoyed the 3-D effects.

My teen nieces (they were visiting from the US) and I enjoyed this in August 2012 after a very busy day of travelling and sight-seeing. The projections onto the Parliament Buildings were amazing! Very clever, artistic and well done. We walked there from our hotel (wished we had taken a blanket or something to sit on instead of the moist... More

Not much to say but this light show on Parliament Hill is really good. It's also free and worth checking out.

We live in Ottawa and always take our summer guests here for the evening light show. It gives them a glimpse of Canada's history in a very enjoyable format. I believe they will be launching an even better show for 2013
