Ottawa Has A New Magical Glowing Crystal Path To Explore This Month

It is like entering a kaleidoscope.😲
Staff Writer

It is time to get excited; Sparks Street in Ottawa has a crystal walkway that looks straight out of a fantasy world right now.

Until Sunday, October 25, you can visit Prismatica for free.

Strolling along the pedestrian path, you'll discover 25 prisms in every colour of the rainbow.

According to Pierre-Alexandre Le Lay of RAW Design, the Toronto-based firm behind Prismatica, "each surface reflects different colours depending on the angle of the light source and the viewing angle."

You can enjoy two different experiences depending on if you go during the day or night.

After dark, the shapes not only spin but glow.

Movie buffs might recognize this art installation as it briefly appeared in the action movie John Wick: Chapter 2.

For those of you searching for things to do outdoors, this would be perfect.

Prismatica

Price: Free

When: Until Sunday, October 25, 2020

Address: Sparks St., Ottawa, ON

Why You Need To Go: You are free to interact with the shapes and take some dazzling photos.
