I don't know if it's been mentioned other than a negative here, so I will say this: Ottawa's proximity to Montreal and Toronto can actually be a "plus" when it comes to fun and urbane pleasures.
Ottawa doesn't have an amusement park but La Ronde and Wonderland are reasonably accesible (La Ronde in fact is an easy day-trip). Actually, basically everything in the Greater Montreal area is an easy day trip from Ottawa. Even stuff slightly beyond like the zoo in Granby or Parc Safari are (recognizing that Ottawa doesn't have a zoo).
As is the Mont-Tremblant area in the Laurentians.
