A very large park with a reservoir in the middle. Lots of hiking and cycling trails. There are benches here to sit, but they are not as often as it would like. There are several interesting points, but by the time you get to them you will get tired, so this park is more about active recreation or just walking around to relax from the city. Overall, a very nice place... Both my wife and I agreed that we can endlessly make photos(me) and paint(she) pictures because it has a lot of interesting "small nature spots". Definitely worth a visit. We spent half a day in this park. And there is free parking at the entrance to the park.

Victoria Park is a true gem in Truro! The massive park has trails that take hikers up to the top where the waterfall is situated through a very long Jacob’s Ladder. We were lucky to visit during the fall foliage although the waterfall only had a small stream at this time. There is also a kids playground and ball diamond at the base of the park. As well as a large outdoor pool that was closed after the summer season.

Victoria Park is a hidden gem! This beautiful park offers a range of amenities, including a playground, music stage, and ample car parking. The stunning hill and trees create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, making it the perfect spot to unwind and connect with nature. And to make it even better, they offered free burgers and soft drinks the day we visited! Highly recommended for a serene escape from the city!

**Great Park with Stunning Features** Victoria Park is a fantastic destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts. It boasts a large playground and a designated barbecue area, making it ideal for picnics and gatherings. The park features an extensive trail path perfect for hiking, offering breathtaking views of the amazing waterfront. Whether you're looking to enjoy a day out with the kids or take in the natural beauty, Victoria Park has something for everyone.

Beautiful park with loads and loads of different trails to walk. Some on hard ground, some on dirt, and some on timber walkways. Also some lovely little waterfalls with pools you can take a dip in. The grounds were beautifully maintained. A real hidden gem in the city.

Victoria Park is gorgeous. Beautiful well kept walking paths and lawns. Lots of picnic tables for families or couples. Picnic on the grass in shade along the streams running alongside the walkway. There's a swimming pool. Pickle balls courts, play areas for kids, music bandstand, BBQ area is covered and with screens to keep out the bugs! Oh wait! There's many trails to choose from along with Jacobs Ladder! I dare ya to try it 😁

This is an amazing place for anyone who wants to spend a day admist nature. Although it was very hot almost 28 degrees, we didn't feel it as there were lots of trees and the sunlight hardly reaches the floor. Lots of picnic tables where you can enjoy your food and hear the soothing sound of water flowing and many small water falls. You can also take your stroller upto certain areas. Had a great time exploring it with my kids.

Absolutely loved visiting this farm! 🐐🐓🐴🐮 The variety of animals is amazing - beautiful goats, adorable chickens, majestic horses, gentle cows, and playful donkeys. The farm is well-maintained, and the animals seem happy and healthy. A perfect spot for animal lovers and families. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️

What an awesome little place to visit while on the Island! From the get-go, Farmer Joe was extremely welcoming and kind to show us where to go and what to see and do. Kim was very kind and knowledgeable and was kind enough to walk us to the cows. Zoe was wonderfully sweet while we chatted about the goats and held the babies until they fell asleep in our arms. I think meeting someone by way of them passing you a baby goat is my new top way to meet someone. Who wouldn’t immediately love that? All-in-all, just a lovely experience and I’d go back in a heartbeat. Less than 20 minutes from downtown Charlottetown. Pro-tip, go in late May to see all the fresh babies!

Our favourite place to visit in PEI! The most wonderful staff work there … so kind and knowledgeable about all the animals, letting the children hold and pet the little bunnies, checking in on you to make sure you’re having a great time, and the goat milk soap…omg! So good! As soon as I’m finished this review I’m going to their online store to purchase some. Amber Romance was what they had for visitors to use to wash their hands with on this particular visit and it was lovely! We visited lots of places during our stay on the Island and this place was our little girls favourite stop. She’s 8. Looking forward to returning next summer!!!

Island Hill Farm is one of the premiere activities for families on the island. It’s a cute, rustic little farm where you can get very hands-on with the animals, entering their pens and petting them. The highlight is the bunnies, who are wrapped in little blankets and handed to you to cuddle. Baby bunnies are included in this. The photo opportunities for your kids are incredible. They have opportunities for kids to milk goats, or watch a donkey do tricks. You are encouraged to wash your hands a lot for your health and wellness of the animals, but the soap is very nice goat soap produced at the farm. While it is a little bit expensive I think it is well worth visiting for the memories.

This was our second visit and the expanded experience was even better! Toooons of animals to see and interact with along with great demonstrations. We got to cuddle with baby bunnies, mill a goat, and see a donkey and an alpaca roll on the ground. An absolute must stop if you love animals. :) Thanks for the great visit!!

We stayed here over night in our RV as part of the Harvest Host subscription. It's was a wonderful experience and our hosts wonderful. It is a great place to see all sorts of animals. The cafee has great coffee and pastries too!

Omg what a fun name night we had camping at this farm. Beautiful sunset over the rolling hills and the Highlands cows views from our camper van was the cutest thing ever. We bought some got soap& body spray . They have a cute shop we’re you can have a real coffee with espresso machine. Highly recommended!!!

A Place That Truly Feels Like Magic 👒🧺✨ Visiting Green Gables Heritage Place was an absolute dream come true. If you’ve ever read Anne of Green Gables or just love stepping into a storybook, this place makes you feel like you’re walking straight into the pages. The house is beautifully kept, full of charming little details that bring Anne’s world to life. Every room feels like it has a story to tell, and it’s so easy to imagine Anne running down the stairs or gazing out the window. The grounds are just as magical. Walking the paths, breathing in that fresh PEI air, and seeing the gardens and landscapes that inspired L.M. Montgomery—it all feels surreal. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable, and the whole place carries this sense of nostalgia and wonder. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of Anne or just someone who enjoys history and beautiful places, this is an absolute must-visit. I left with a full heart, a camera roll full of memories, and a new appreciation for the simple magic of storytelling. P.S. I hid a painted rock outside the house—happy hunting! 🎨🪨

Beautiful museum with a nice and easy trail around the house. However, the visit was quite short since I’m not a fan and didn’t know about the story. You can read all the descriptive texts in the exhibition in less than 20 minutes, and the house visit was also short and super packed with other tourists.

Yes. If you’ve read the books, it’s worth it. It is “delightful when your imaginations come alive.” Walk through the house that inspired the setting of the story, Lovers Lane and the Haunted Wood. The visitors center was also lovely and had a LMM signature ink stamp that I put in my book. This Cherry Cordial can be found all over the island but we tried it here of course! When I got home I turned the bottle-cap into a fridge magnet. And although not in the book, the beavertails were worth the wait

A Truly Charming Family Experience! Our family had such a wonderful time visiting Green Gables Heritage Place! From the moment we arrived, everything was well organized — even the parking area was easy to access, with helpful staff guiding visitors and making sure everything went smoothly. It truly felt like stepping right into Anne of Green Gables — the house, the gardens, and the trails were all beautiful and peaceful. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, happily answering questions and sharing stories that made the place come alive. If you’re someone who loves novels, especially Lucy Maud Montgomery’s works, this place is absolutely worth your precious time. It’s a must-visit attraction filled with history, beauty, and heartwarming charm for the whole family. ❤️

Our group had a lovely time. A beautiful home with quite a few artifacts from the late 1800s/early 1900s. Now it is quite a short visit but make sure to make the walk over to the site where she lived through the haunted woods (not really haunted). There is a bookstore and when you purchase your Anne books you get a stamped signature of Lucy M. Montgomery, a nice added tough you don’t get anywhere else.

This is truly one of the most beautiful and historically significant sites in Prince Edward Island. The house offers a fascinating glimpse into life during the Victorian era, reflecting both the elegance and the hardships of that time. The interior is thoughtfully preserved, with authentic artifacts that are beautifully displayed and exceptionally well maintained. Beyond the historical charm, the surrounding scenery is simply breathtaking. The walk along the “Lover’s Lane” trail is especially enchanting, with its vibrant colors, lush greenery, and serene atmosphere. It’s a perfect blend of history, culture, and natural beauty — a must-visit for anyone exploring PEI.

Compared to other sites on the island this one felt less connected to L.M Montgomery and much more like just a tourist location. Being able to walk Lucy's Lovers Lane that inspired Anne's lovers lane was super interesting as well as walking up through the hunted woods to her grandparents house were L.M Montgomery spent most of her child really solidified the land marks of Anne's life. The small museum at the beginning is really interesting with reviews from the year the boom came out at a time line of L.M Montgomerys life and writing career I really enjoyed reading all of that but all in all compared to other Anne and L.M.M Sites on PEI it lacks magic.

Lots of great food options - Lone Oak brewery (check out my review), Piatto pizza, Turkey Tavern, etc. There is also a Cows ice cream. Plenty of free parking. The buildings are rustic and interesting. Nice to walk around.

As the name suggests wonderful meals of different types of prepared turkey. I had the hot turkey sandwich and my wife ordered the turkey salad sandwich. Both orders were delicious. One of the best meals we've had in PEI. If you're in the area it's a must stop for a meal.

A very nice place for lunch, but very small if you are going just to walk around and see the village. Only a handful of restaurants and gift shops here. Beautiful flowers 🌹

Just a tourist trap. No real history. Pretty much closed after the main season (closed in September). Basically a collection of restaurants in building made to look like a historic village. The exception is the Turkey Tavern which was still open and served up excellent turkey options.

It was a lovely mock town of Avonlea, would have been so much better if it was open! Next time we’ll travel during summer months.

Honestly was pretty disappointed. I know it’s end of the season for PEI, however we were there the second busiest weekend on PEI and pretty much everything besides 2 restaurants were closed. Which is crazy to me considering it was still hot and had a ton of tourists there that weekend. A lot of which were going to the grounds directly beside Avonlea village, so you think they’d stay open for all that traffic. There was also only one gift shop open and the prices were exorbitant. I’m sure this is better during peak season but I won’t be returning, honestly not really even worth it. There are much better things on pei to see.

If you know and love the story Anne of Green Gable then a visit to Avonlea Village is a must while in PEI.

OMG! The first thing impressing is jellyfish in the ocean close to the coast. It is not that deep or warm you can swim, but you can walk by jellyfish. Somebody showed me how to pick them up by hand, and I did. No danger, it is new experience, DO IT : ) I liked there was shower and changing room after getting wet in the ocean, which they were clean and organized. Coastal sand was soft, and some folk using it for sunbathing. Overall, picturesque environment also due to red sandstone cliffs. There is lifeguard during the summer time for swimming (July & August). Finally, strongly recommended!

Stunning beach! Large parking, facilities (bathroom, changing rooms, showers, outdoors showers and small cafe). Fee but well worth it. Boardwalk that also leads you to beach, accessible to wheelchair. Lifeguards. It gets a bit crowded, but you can easily walk away to have a more peaceful space. Bring your shade tent and picnic and you will have a great time! Beautiful scenery. be sure to visit even if for just a stroll on beach.

This beach was nice and clean, with unique red sands. We visited on a Sunday afternoon, and though it was quite busy, there was still plenty of space for us. The water was clean, shallow, and warm—perfect for a family outing with kids. There were showers on-site to wash off on the way back, which was convenient, and free parking was available as well. I enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend this beach.

The entrance to the beach is paid, and there is ample parking. There are changing rooms, WC, a clean wooden pier to the beach, and a foot shower. The beach is sandy, but the entrance to the water is rocky and sometimes slippery due to algae. There is a kelp smell. The water seemed cool, and the water was clear. Overall, it was a great, clean place to stay! I recommend it!

Beautiful sand beach lined with large sand dunes with with distinct red sandstone cliffs. Well maintained boardwalks with natural pond areas and wildflower meadows, we were visiting as Hurricane Lee arrived so the were lots of dramatic crashing waves and strong winds… still beautiful though. The shower / washrooms were well maintained and incredibly clean. The only downside was that a few areas were tapped off due to walkways being broken and broken information signs.

Had a really enjoyable time here. Nice facilities that were clean when we were there. I think a 4.5 is a better rating as the beach is quite rocky and hard to enjoy for swimming. That said the sandcastle making was lots of fun. Overall beautiful views, just keep in mind the trees in the area show evidence of the hurricanes that have come through. Also, check out the Sunset and Stars hike put on by Canada Parks.

This was an absolutely beautiful visit! The beach is gorgeous and it's nice to see the sand dunes! Although, the water is absolutely freezing so be prepared! The beach is big with lots of space so if you want privacy you can move further down the beach. You can walk down the trail nearby and visit other parts of the beach further away which is nice to see as well.

So happy to find this place by chance while on our way to Cape Breton. We spent about 3 hours wandering the place, taking photos and just enjoying the area. When we arrived, it was high tide. About 45 mins later, it was low tide and we were able to walk on the ocean floor. What a great experience! The climb up to the lighthouse was interesting and you will get a 360 view on the place. Definitely worth the stop!

Mesmerizing place! A stroll in ocean bed is worth alongside of flowerpot in Burnt coat during the low tide. We reached early morning when none was around and the tide was to its lowest. Felt in love with giant red blocks, shades of greens, gave a tranquility, the sounds of waves, birds chirps added flavour. However, the Ocean bed was mildly slippery, any anti slippery footwear's would be great to for use. If you are visiting plan based on tides schedule, helps to enjoy both low and high tide. There is a tap and brush nearby stairs to clean the footwear. Restroom, gift shop and lighthouse are operational between 9am to 5pm.

Incredible views. We checked the tide schedule before we left . We got there at the beginning of the six hour window where you can explore the ocean floor. Saw hermit crabs, sea weed lots of shells and scenery was beautiful. Very muddy in parts watch your step!!

One of the best places to see both high and low tides. Ample parking with clean washrooms (9-5). Has a diaper changing table as well! The viewpoint is 2 minutes away from the parking lot. Better take a boot if you are interested to walk on the ocean floor.

Beautiful place. Very important to wear proper shoes when going down the stairs. There is water to wash shoes off. Benches to sit and enjoy the view, plaques with explanations and informations. Lighthouse can be entered during certain time and climb up. Big gravel parking lot, with designated RV parking. Washrooms available and a little gazebo to sit and enjoy. Lots of green space to have Picknicks. Dog friendly, just keep on leash and clean up after them. Watch the apple trees. As nice as they are apples are falling and “could” maybe hit your head.

This place is a gem! A once in a lifetime experience to explore the ocean floor during low tide. We saw lots of tiny shells, sea snails, barnacles and kelp. The trail to the ocean floor is short and very easy to follow. Tips: check out the official tide schedule on the website and come during low tide, pack food and water, and don’t expect to spend too much time in the lighthouse as there is no air circulation and it’s super hot and stuffy at the top. Also bring water shoes.

Beautiful views of the changing tides and Bay of Fundy. Recommend getting there at low or mid-low tide when walking is possible on the rocky sea floor. Take care walking as the tides come into the area quickly and could potentially get stranded or cut off from the main stairs to the water.

so cool to finally cross this amazing engineering marvel. It is the longest bridge in the world that crosses ice-covered water. A very unique 13km drive.

Amazing bridge with the length about 12 kms. to PEI. But I feel the photos that take from the light house will be more beautiful than going on the bridge.

The longest bridge we’d ever drove on. What a beautiful bridge, the view from the side is incredible! Stopped in a grabbed some bridge souvenirs at the visitor centre on the PEI side

Felt great after having a look of this beautiful bridge last weekend on our trip to maritimes from toronto. Must visit place once in a lifetime ❤️

The Confederation Bridge is definitely quite the sight. Standing at 12.9 km, this is the longest bridge in Canada and arguably one of the most scenic as well. I’ve taken both the ferry and the bridge to P.E.I and this is so much more scenic and beautiful. Even on a weekend and with construction on the bridge, it wasn’t that busy at all. Even when traffic got heavy, the views made it worth it. The only reason I docked a star off this review is because of the toll you have to pay on the way out of the island. You pay a $50 toll for a car which is kind of insane. For visitors and tourists it may not be so bad for a one time thing, but from what I understand, even residents of P.E.I have to pay the same $50 toll every time they leave which seems very unfair. All in all, it’s a very scenic way of getting to P.E.I and is a nice experience. Not bad for a once in a lifetime kinda of thing.

First time on the Island PEI ! Definitely recommend it ! The beaches are beautiful, I would recommend going to the provincial park... Cows Ice-cream store ! We went to Fin Folk restaurant, AMAZING 👏 fresh sea food platter and smash burgers ! The view is amazing.. the tide was going out at the time we were there! Saw a crab trying to burrow in the wet sand !

I'am sorry to say I wanted to drive over it but my wife said no way when we got within 500mts. Extraordinary engineering fete , beautiful bridge. $20 return fee. So we ended up driving down to the ferry south of Truro which was a great 75mins. Return cost was $45, had lunch aboard.

My family and I saw the Highland Storm show tonight. What an amazing performance by all of the young women and men. The singing and the dancing was spectacular. There was singing, drumming, dancing, and lots of wonderful instruments.

Highland Storm started off great. Then the city lost power.. the performers did their absolute best to fill the gap while we waited hopefully for the power to be restored. They pulled out all the stops.. we got to enjoy some dancing, piping, drums, songs and other instruments. Unfortunately, the show could not go on as the power did not return.. I'm basing my rating solely on the professionalism, optimism and commitment of the performers. We were offered refunds or were invited back for another viewing should we be inclined . Looking forward to seeing the rest of the show tomorrow!

What a great experience to learn what is taught at a Piping school and the parts of a bag pipe. The newer, attached auditorium is well suited for concerts and competitions. Most topics were covered except for the “straight face” vs smiling of the performers.

We took in this show on a whim and thoroughly enjoyed it. The music! Bagpipes, drumming, singing, tap and dancing combined to immerse us in sight and sound and the story of Scot’s coming to the Island. I found the lighting a little odd and dark at times but it didn’t detract from the excellence of the performance.

I can not recommend this venue highly enough. Exceptional! I finally went to a show last night and was incredibly impressed with the audio quality, the seating (every seat is a good seat), the friendly & helpful staff who go above and beyond, and most of all the professionalism of this top notch performing arts centre. It was obvious from just one show that the passionate and personable director Peter Gallant is gifted at what he does. Will definitely be back!

Really enjoyed the performance of Highland Storm, the dancers, the musicians, the Pipers and Drummers, the presentation was excellent!!

Great Theatre! Comfortable seats and fantastic Sound! Kudos top the sound guy! Saw Ennis Sisters - Small Halls concert - very enjoyable! Will definately go again.

A fascinating place with beautiful architecture made by locals- and a lovely garden and gift shop. If I lived near by I would come to just sit in the garden and have a picnic, but it was a neat visit to walk through all the buildings: see chapel, several houses, and the old lighthouse too! It was a really neat spot and not too busy for a morning visit. Would come again.

Absolutely stunning gardens so well maintained. The gardeners deserve a raise. I could sit in those gardens for hours. Now on to the bottle houses. Super creative and you can see the labour of love went into each building, the work would require imminent patience. Each building is super creative. Loved them all. A must see when visiting the Island❤️

This place was so amazing. It was so cool to see all the houses made of bottles, and was just so beautiful. Theres quite a few things to check out. It is a relatively small area and I believe admission is 12$? But it’s so worth it. And it’s beautiful there. I could have spent hours. They also have a gift shop with many cute little trinkets and things. I highly recommend everyone who debates checking it out to do it.

Very nice set of buildings using just bottles, which is very unique. The fee as of today is 10 dollars for adults and 9 dollars for seniors. Several thousands of bottles are used and they very beautifully used for a very picturesque small buildings. There are three different buildings inside. There's also a miniature lighthouse at the far end. There is also beautiful garden inside the campus. They have "no paws on the ground " policy. So you need to carry your pets inside. They also have strollers. This place is at the western end of the island so expect to drive around an hour and half from the bridge or downtown. But definitely worth a visit to this unique place

Absolutely beautiful gardens and fun bottle house walk through. The only thing missing was some tea and tasty treats. It is $10 to explore the gardens and bottle houses and there is a well curated gift shop at the entrance.

The Bottle Houses were amazing! We didn’t have this place on our list, but it showed up on the map while we were visiting Cape Egmont Lighthouse. We enjoyed it so much, it was raining, but that made it even more special as we walked around with our umbrellas. We highly recommend this stop! I also found a pair of beautiful earrings in the shop that I brought home with me. The gardens are gorgeous, and the houses themselves are truly beautiful.

This place is super cool, even if it's a bit out of the way, depending on where you're staying on PEI it's definitely not near most of the other attractions you're looking to see. Also go see it right away. There is a real estate sign out in front of it, which means they're selling it. It might not even be a thing in a year or so so get out there. Take a look. It's cool. I wish that they would put big allergen lights on the inside of each one of these structures and light them up at night cuz it's that would just be so cool looking from the outside. And if they like put up some barbecues somewhere in the property where people could rent out and tent out while they grilled and after the sun went down these structures would be all luminous and that would be so awesome and totally worth $140 booking. Just saying

If you are near Grand Pré, this is a must-visit spot! I have eaten here several times and it seems even better since my last meal. The view from the dining area is breathtaking and reason enough to come here. We enjoyed warm and friendly service throughout our lunch. The shrimp and lobster roll was beautifully presented and delicious. The braised lamb tacos were great, too.

We visited this vineyard on a busy day, but with plenty of seating we were able to get a table quickly. The service was a little slow, though our waitress was very friendly. The food was absolutely delicious - I had the soup of the day and the pesto chicken sandwich, and I’d highly recommend both. The vineyard has a beautiful view, making it a lovely spot to relax. Do bring a sweater, as it can get chilly with the wind and shade, though they do provide blankets if needed. I’m not a huge fan of their wine, but I’d happily return for the food and the great atmosphere!

I only stayed at Luckett Vineyards for a short time, but it was such a great experience! I’d totally recommend it to anyone passing by the area. I had some appetizer with wine and the beef carpaccio was especially delicious, and the tomato soup taste deep. The view from the restaurant is amazing, so even if you can only stop by for a bit, it’s worth it. Don’t miss the cute red phone booth. it’s a perfect photo spot! The wine was also great value for the price.

The red phone booth welcomes you as you approach this beautifully tended vineyard. Along with the vines, the grounds are lined with beautiful beds of flowers and plants. A treat for the eyes as you arrive. Inside the stunning building (it was misty and sprinkling the day we visited), we enjoyed a $12 wine tasting with generous pours and the most knowledgeable and passionate host. My husband and I recommend their Tidal Bay, Phone Box Red and Big Bill. Before we left we visited the red booth to phone it in.

We had such a wonderful time , We did the tasting and were so impressed by the variety and quality of the wines—each one was better than the last. Our server was incredibly helpful and made the whole experience even better. The views of the vineyards were breathtaking, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon. We'll definitely be back!"

Pros: the red telephone booth in the vineyard; view of the vineyard: ; resto/dining hall has high ceiling; can host events (weddings); ample washroom stalls at the mezzanine(?) area; has a shop; our server was nice enough; food quality is okay Cons: there was at least 1 fly who kept on bothering us; only one washroom at the main floor (was looking for a diaper change table and did not find it at the upper stalls); slow service overall; food taste/overall flavor did not excite us (not delicious) and did not encourage us to return. Spent about $130 for food. Food does not have “wow” factor, never coming back here again. This is our both first and last visit here unless they amp up their menu taste/flavor. Lovely view overall, though.

Restaurant with a beautiful view of the vineyard and unique phone booth that works! Phone Box red and white wines were a great complement to the food. On a sunny day, the doors were open to let in a fresh breeze.

Spend about an hour, I'd say, to see the very informative display in the pavilion and then the grounds, including the chapel. You can visit the grounds without paying, or a modest fee allows you to experience it all. Veterans get in for free! Just a very nice spot to slow down a bit and enjoy the land.

A very well maintained site with an emphasis on well manicured grounds and outdoor spaces. The property is a wonderful place for a peaceful walk. The willow trees are impressive, for both size and setting. Interesting note - there are black squirrels throughout the area!

A fabulous place to visit, and learn about a historic tragedy that took place 170 years ago. You can wander the grounds for free, but please pay the fee to see the movie and the exhibits about the expulsion of the Acadians. It's important to know the past so you can better understand the present.

This amazed me. I didn't know this history at all & the presentation was delivered in an amazing setting (inside a ship). I also enjoyed my walk around the grounds afterwards.

With a glass of wine in hand from the namesake winery, we walked around the UNESCO Grand Pré Historic Site. My farmer husband appreciated the information about how the early Acadian and Mi’kmaq people farmed the land around. We toasted the people who first farmed our country and wished we could have stayed longer to explore and learn more. There’s so much more to learn about their culture and the struggles of these people. Definitely worth a visit.

This is a beautiful well maintained park commemorating the hard work of the Acadiens who built dykes to reclaim fertile land for agriculture. There is a visitor center which features an excellent film about the history of the Acadiens, as well as a small museum, gift store, and restrooms. The walkways are easy to manage. On the grounds are also a church that features some of the area's history, a blacksmith workshop, and a statue of the imaginary heroine Evengeline featured in Longfellow's poem about Acadiens.

Beautiful grounds with interesting history of the property. Make sure to visit the beach and take in the views of the dyke and ocean.

Even though it was foggy and we missed the iconic view at the top, the hike itself was fantastic! Well-marked trails, beautiful forest scenery, and a steady, enjoyable challenge throughout. Definitely worth it—even without the view. Can’t wait to come back on a clear day! We spent 5 hours all together including taking time to take pictures and laying down (10-20 mins) at the cape split lookoff. Washrooms are available at the start point. They were clean.

Fantastic spot to view the Bay of Fundy. The full loop is about 15km in total and I recommend starting from Minas Basin side and finishing down through Scot Bays. Along the trail, you will see a wide variety of plants, and the trees form a beautiful canopy that provides a plenty of shade. While the trail isn’t very steep, the distance can be challenging for beginners. Make sure to bring enough water for the hike.

What an awesome trail with a big treat at the end. To be honest the trail itself is easy but it's a long hike. Running shoes are fine. It's not particularly interesting and there is only one exciting lookout at Lobster Cove. HOWEVER, when you get to the end, it will be one of the most unique and thrilling spots you will find yourself in. You are elevated above the water and there are so many places and different angles to see the rock pillars. You can't really see down the cliff face because it is so steep and the edge is not clear, so quite dangerous. Take a picnic or some snacks at least and definitely a drink. Lots of spots to soak it all in. We did the clockwise loop and we are glad we did, although not too much difference between the two out and back trails.

This is a beautiful place! But the trail was very difficult because it was very long. We walked all 15 km, spending 5 hours on it. I do not recommend taking children with you. Everyone who took children could not walk the entire route.

It's a bit of a challenging hike, fairly steep in places. You can hike, bike or run the trail. There are some look offs on the loop around the trail. Spectacular view at the top of the Bay of Fundy

Nice trail to hike. It wasn't too difficult. We did the out and back route. Beautiful scenery. Next time we will try for a low tide view.

Lovely trail not far from the Annapolis Valley. Trail had a few small hills near the beginning but for the most part was gentle, flat, and wide enough to walk 2-abreast. There are 2 trial options if you want to walk back a different trail. Scots Bay Trail is a little longer and Minas Basin Trail is a little shorter. The trailhead sign advertises the 6+ km hike (one way) as about 2h10 but we did it in about 1h20 going in and 1h10 back walking at a good pace. If you take your time and spend a few minutes at each of the mini look offs along the way it’ll be closer to the posted time. Parking lot has plenty of spaces but it does fill up as the day goes on. There’s 2 outhouses at the beginning of the trail and then 2 more around the 2km mark, then nothing else so plan accordingly.

A really unique opportunity to see some plant fossils with varying price and experience options. For the simplest experience, you just arrive and walk out onto the shore where all the fossils from the eroding cliff face are. Unless you know your plant fossils and what to look for you probably won't get too much out of it though. The second option is to pay to enter the small museum in the visitor center. It will give you what you need and some more background information on things you won't see here but will put things into a timeline context. The third option is to pay just a little or a lot more for a 30 min basic or a lot more for the 90 min version. We did the 90 min. but think we would have been happy with the shorter one. After being armed with some knowledge on what to look for it was a lot easier to understand what we were looking at and finding fossils. Nice museum area (included with the tours). You don't need anything more than running shoes unless you intentionally want to get muddy. Plenty of parking.

Watch the tide schedule. You want to see this gasping view when the tide is out. Beautiful museum education center, small cafe, gift shop (bought some stone bracelets ie rose quartz) bags to fill with gemstones, picnic areas, huge staircase to get to the Rock beach. ... I counted over 70 stairs. Best to wear secure footwear... sandals might not be the best option.. so many interesting rocks. ... please note rocks are not to be removed from this area. Great history lessons, magnifying glasses to look more closely at fossils great for kids of all ages curiosity. Tours are available for that personal experience. And friendly staff! It's a long way to get to but this place is beautiful.

My family had a great adventure at Joggins Fossil Cliffs & Centre. Staff were awesome upon arrival. It was clean and everything was explained perfectly. Really cool to see the tide go down and explore the beach for rocks and fossils. When we left by car an added bonus occurred. We saw a bunch of foxes. Really cool!

A tricky place to visit as a tourist due to the varying low tide. Unfortunately, low tide when I visited was outside of the centre hours, but if you can book a tour, I would recommend it. In case you can’t discover anything yourself, there are some fossils near the staircase and it’s free to explore the beach.

This is a special little place which gives a look into history and geology right in your hand. The museum is small and well put together. Couple the museum with the tour and I felt you got a great personal experience first hand with the earth's history. While you're not actually discovering any new fossils but finding one's which have been scattered (previously fallen, found, replaced and found again, rinse-repeat) across the beach from portions of the beachfront wall stratum, which is a geological research area. The tour guide was a student doing what seemed to be an internship so she was knowledgeable enough to present and answer questions during the tour. It reminded me of panning for gold in the western United States when I was younger but a notch better.

The Joggins Fossil Museum is a truly wonderful place to visit! It has so much to offer for anyone interested in history, science, or simply exploring something unique. You get to immerse yourself in the fascinating story of fossils and discover how they have shaped our understanding of evolution. The exhibits are engaging and informative, making it a perfect experience for both adults and children. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

I visited joggins after taking a plant diversity course where the instructor brought up the cliffs. I knew I wanted to visit some day and I did. I had such a great time and loved being able to recall what I learned in Uni. My husband never studied into it and he also had a great time and was very excited to find fossils and listen to me blab about them. A great experience for all ages. Will definitely visit again.

Wow! We absolutely loved our stay here. It was the highlight of our entire trip. We stayed in a second floor room and managed to arrive just in time to watch the sunset from the balcony. Truly a magical experience. We visited the museum in the evening. It’s extremely well laid out and so much information is provided. We got up early the next morning and climbed to the top of the lighthouse and got to watch the sunset rise over the island. Then to top it all off, we were treated to a lovely home cooked breakfast included with our stay. Our whole experience was an amazing experience and will remain a core memory for us for years to come. Thank you so much for taking such great care of us during our visit.

Our first visit to PEI for my husband and I. We jumped at the chance to stay at a lighthouse in a remote part of the island. Stayed for one night. The lighthouse itself and the museum are impressive. The property faces west which provides for an unbelievable sunset right from our balcony. The room itself was average size and very clean. Appreciated having hardwood floors and not carpet. Furniture in great shape, good lighting, small refrig in room. Ample seating inside the room as well as the balcony for two. Homemade breakfast, fresh eggs, toast, biscuits, delectable coffee, just like at home. Had good dinner at Lighthouse Willy’s, back to our room within an hour just in time for an unbelievable sunset. Walked the beach 2m one way, water was warm for mid-September. Saw a seal from the beach. Heard the waves and gazed at the stars. Highly recommend. Don’t know of many places you can experience this tranquility.

Oct 1/25 we stayed for one night. It was a unique experience. The sound of the ocean outside our room was calming and tranquil, that I will not soon forget. Of interest, the Inn and the local seaside restaurant, Lighthouse Willy's Restaurant, a mile away are owned, maintained and operated by local community people. The light house museum is well worth the effort, as are the almost 100 steps to get to the top. Few places on this earth can provide this quality of beauty and solitude.....make it part of your travel experience while visiting PEI.

This inn should be on everyone’s bucket list. We were touring the East coast trying to be spontaneous and found all the hotels booked, then I saw West Point light house inn. Service was great. Beds were comfy. Breakfast was delicious. It felt like a bed and breakfast. We did a sunrise walk on the beach. Watched the sunset on our balcony. My only regret is not staying longer. I will be back!

My family stayed for three nights: Rooms were amazing, beds comfortable, breakfast did not disappoint, beach access is great, staff is friendly but not intrusive, just a beautiful spot. Would absolutely recommend and will return. The museum is interesting, and feels authentic. St Marks Ceilidh on Thursday nights is nearby and offers an amazing musical experience if your schedule allows for it.

A great experience. We were in the Keepers Quarters. It is a real museum. A few times I opened the door and people asked if I was the manager. Unique location. Spent 2 nights here. Staff were very friendly. Down to earth. I think the Lighthouse and the restaurant in town, are owned and moderated by the community which I think is terrific. There are 2 rooms in the lighthouse and quite a few more in and adjacent motel. The lighthouse is very photogenic as a lot of souvenirs across P.E.I. can attest to.

Staying in a lighthouse was a unique experience . The sunset and the constant sound of waves added to the experience . Absolutely recommend . The rooms were well maintained . Breakfast was provided and was great. You may want to plan for an early dinner if you plan to stay for the night though. There aren’t many options nearby and the one diner close to the lighthouse is a hit and miss , not much of a service .

Visiting Hopewell Rocks was an unforgettable experience, possibly my favorite in a long time. We were incredibly fortunate to spot a bull moose during low tide, an event that almost never occurs. It was a truly special and unexpected moment. The staff on site were exceptional, highly organized and attentive. They ensured everyone’s safety by guiding us from the beach back to the stairs as the moose came closer to shore. Witnessing both the low and high tides was absolutely breathtaking. The natural beauty here is indescribable, a must-see experience!

My wife and I visited Hopewell Rocks, and it turned out to be one of the most fascinating places we’ve seen. Watching the dramatic transformation between high and low tide was simply incredible — at low tide, we walked right on the ocean floor among the famous “flowerpot” rock formations, and just a few hours later, those same rocks were surrounded by water, standing like islands. It’s amazing how powerful the Bay of Fundy tides are — they’re actually among the highest in the world, rising and falling up to 14 meters each day. The place is well set up for visitors, with ample parking and a ticketed entry system. Tickets are valid for two consecutive days, which is great because it lets you experience both tides without rushing. The walk to the rocks takes about 15 minutes along a scenic trail, but there’s also a paid shuttle if you’d rather not hike. We found the whole setup very organized and easy to navigate. Before you go, it’s worth checking the official website for tide timings so you can plan your visit around them. They also offer free guided tours, which are really informative and help you appreciate the geology and history behind these beautiful formations. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here — it’s one of those rare natural wonders that truly lives up to the hype.

This place looks like it's straight out of another world! The scenery is so incredibly unique and just breathtaking. It's definitely a prime spot for snapping some amazing photos. As you learn the history, you can really feel the history all around you here. The sheer beauty of the landscape is something else. Plus, it offers a nice little cardio workout as you explore. I could wander around here for ages just taking it all in. It’s a truly remarkable and memorable experience.

Beautiful visit - we came over 2 days once to see the tide up and once to walk on the ocean floor. My 3 year old really enjoyed the park slides and the ride down to the rocks on the cart (it's $2 each way per adult and free for him). It felt like a safari to him! The little museum is really nice! Very informative. Gift shop is cute but I found that when we went it was not stocked properly (off season). They only had a weird night version magnet of Hopewell rocks. The little kid's DIY boxes on sale ended up having completely dried out paint. I would say the price is a bit much for what you get.

The absolute best part of visiting is witnessing the dramatic difference between high and low tide. At low tide, you can walk on the exposed ocean floor and stand beneath the massive, tree-topped "flowerpot" rock formations, a rare and surreal experience. Just a few hours later, these same areas are submerged under as much as 40 to 50 feet of water. Amazing!

Great place to view nature at work carving the rocks on a daily basis with phenomenal tides. Super visitor centre with a restaurant and displays explaining the geography of the place. Plenty of staff around to guide you and answer any questions. Enjoyable walk to the various viewing points or the beach itself. The track is steep in places. There's also a shuttle you can take from the arrival point to the top of the beach area: $2 CAN per person per one way trip. Lots of steps to get down to the beach but there's also a wheelchair access route marked out(didn't try it). Tip: You dont have to wait the full 6 hours between tides. We saw high tide at about 930 in the morning and were able to stand on part of the beach by 1300. You'll need to wait a bit longer if you want access to the beach trail around the shoreline.

We loved Hopewell Rocks. Staying overnight nearby to see both high and low tide was absolutely worth it. The trails are beautiful, the hike is enjoyable, and the shuttle makes it easy to explore. Good coffee, a great gift shop, and a nice little museum made the visit even better. The people are so friendly and knowledgeable, which really added to the experience.

We made a quick photo stop at the Giant Lobster and it was pure road-trip fun. Easy parking, a short stroll, and then—boom—those massive claws! We took all the goofy perspective shots, learned a bit about local lobster culture from the signs, and soaked up the small-town charm around the site. It’s a fast, kid-friendly detour that delivers big smiles and a few frame-worthy photos. Worth the stop—five minutes turns into fifteen in the best way.

Fun place to take a few pics. The shops are nice too. Just wish people were more respectful and not spend so much time hogging the venue. People should snap a few pics then let others do the same. Has been a bit of a trend during this vacation.

Great little stop on your way to PEI... who wouldn't want to see a huge lobster monument that you and the kids can climb for a photo! Fun times!

lol, it may seem corny to some, but we always stop for pictures any time we visit the area. It was early autumn so the little shops were closed for the season, but we loved that the lobster wore a purple Halloween hat!! 😁

I wanted to sit in the garden near the giant lobster and read my book the entire night. But, I had to go enjoy scenes from the lake side and then the beautiful pre-sunset aura.

This is a must see attraction ! The area also has cute little shops and a visitor centre. Good parking.

The gift shops had cute locally made items that made great souvenirs. People were having full on photo shoots at the lobster so it took a long time to snap a couple pictures without a random stranger in the photo. The snack bar/store is way over priced! $6 for a small bottle of Gatorade is robbery.

I guess June is still early season everything was closed, beautiful views all around tho. Repelling seemed expensive and only had option to do it for the 2hr cost nothing shorter

Thanks to the lovely Evelyn at the gift shop we had an amazing time! She is passionate about her work and she took the time to share with us her amazing geological knowledge! Her beautiful energy helped us learn a lot about the area. The beach area is beautiful. It was a nice stop 😊 The restaurant offered good food too.

A view, a beach and a sunset not to be missed!!! Well worth the drive in. You won't be disappointed!!!

Beautiful spot. Views from the lighthouse are spectacular. We walked down along the beach as it was low tide. We were shocked at how much it cost to come for a short time. Very few people were there when we were.

What a beautiful experience. Because of health issues, I'm trying to do things I would never do before it's too late. Zip lining is one of them because of fear of heights. If it wasn't for the staff at each station from paying...suiting me up....and at the top of the platform encouraging me n my friend....we both would have backed out half way up the stairs ...but at each station , the workers made you feel like you could do it. Zip Lining.....check!

You can get a beautiful view of the landscape depending on the time of day and weather permitting. The fresh beer battered haddock with tartar sauce and the french fries made by the chef Heather were second to none. The fossils at display in the restaurant were quite cool.

One of my favorite places to bring guests when they visit from out of province. It has a powerful view and feel and awe inspiring views. I rarely go to the lighthouse, because it's so nice at the water level and no fares.

We traveled from Lower Sackville and arrived about 30 minutes after the zoo opened. It took us about an hour and a half from start to finish and we took our time making our way through. The animals were all pretty active when we were there with the exception of the lions. Tigers and bobcat. I love the addition of the sandpit/play area, and watching the monkeys is always so entertaining. It is definitely a great little day trip 😀

We love stopping out to the zoo a few times every summer. We purchase a family pass and pop down on our way home from the beach or when we don't have other plans. We love visiting on the cooler rainy days. The animals are always more active or hanging closer to the fence where you can see them. Harvey, the pot bellied is one of our favorite friends to stop and say hello to.

Such a fun place, lots of animals, and the kids were so happy, the price for admission was great , like 28$ for 4 people.. has a reptile area with the gift shop, there is a area to get food, and lots of seating. Great zoo highly recommend and it was a beautiful drive there.

I've been out to Oaklawn Zoo many times. The first time was so incredible since it was a school trip many years ago. Now my little sisters are enjoying it. One day I hope to share memories here with my future kid. Friendly staff, Animals are well kept, Amazing spot. May get hot bring your sun screen. 😎🦓

I'm so grateful we still have a zoo in Nova Scotia. Staffs are more than friendly and the place is clean and nice. Thanks to the Covid, feeding animals and gathering are no longer our possible options, so don't expect the lions' dining time which happens after hours by employees only. I myself would love to spend more time in here but with the kids your time is basically limited to their patience plus consuming some fantastic french fries. I hope the existing (pandemic) rules change in the near future for fully vaccinated visitors that they can enjoy the zoo the way it used to be.

What a great family friendly zoo! Good size for little kids, informative for adults. Just a lovely spot to spend a few hours. Not to mention a touching story on how they got it all started. Well worth the drive.

The "Oaklawn Farm " zoo is absolutely amazing! 🦁🐼 They have a wide variety of animals from all over the world, and the exhibits are well-maintained. It's a great place to spend a day and learn about wildlife conservation. Highly recommended!!

Wasn't a fan of the buffet options. I had the chili and some garlic bread which was very tasty. The macaroni salad was really good too.

Came to a concert on June 10 and buffet was closed. Very disappointed to say the least. Website advertising seafood summer, Tuesdays and Wednesdays only to find out the buffet is not open Sundays through Tuesdays. Website is confusing regarding the buffet hours but clearly states this on facebook, which I wouldn’t think to check. The wait for food was long, I ordered a burger which isn’t what I wanted. We were trying to make a night of this by staying at the casino. There were other patrons who were also not happy about the buffet not being open. I’m still unsure where the mussels are as they aren’t advertised on the menu I. The restaurant.

Pat, my lovely wife and I, live not far from this fabulous casino. We first visited this establishment just after the height of COVID back in 2021. Restrictions were still in place. Gambling tables were not open. Buffet was still closed down and attendance was low. Shows were still not taking place. Some time later, Pat and I have been delighted to have attended one of the first showings, since COVID restrictions, in their large stage area (Buddy Holly tribute). Seats were not packed since many people were still playing it safe and staying home. The shows venue and performance was fantastic. We've both enjoyed a few meals in the casino's small restaurant within the casino's main floor area next to the many gambling machines. We have also been to their large buffet area for at least one of each of the afternoons they are open. Each night open there is a different special and selection (repeats every week). We strongly recommend obtaining their membership card, if of age, for meal savings at every visit (cost nothing). Be careful, it's very easy to gain weight at their buffet. So many items to choose from and we've yet to find something we didn't like. Meals are delicious and I always have trouble leaving room for dessert, but I do manage. Even with their desserts, the choices are many. We've learnt that if one needs a dessert without sugar, just ask one of the attendants and they will happily bring an item out from behind their separation wall. This is but another place Pat and I enjoy being able to treat ourselves to once in a while, here in Moncton, NB. Neither of us are big gamblers but we do enjoy meandering through the Gambling area on our way out (buffet is at the far end of the casino floor). Pat and I have brought loved ones to this place more than once and will continue doing so in future, God willing. Since we live so close to this casino, renting a room has never been a consideration but, from what we've seen, we're sure they're well kept. Both of us have enjoyed walking their main hotel corridor which displays past celebrities that have performed and stayed at this fine casino/hotel. We have also driven along their back parking lot to check out the many different campers using their lot for temporary parking. Very nice layout and compassionate of the owners to allow campers with limited parking. My only complaint, during the many times we've eaten at the casinos buffet, has been with their corn in the cob. We love 🌽 but each time, it has been inedible to us. Far too mushy, like they've been soaking in water for hours. Not a huge drawback since there's so much to chose from at their buffet but disappointing. New thus year (2025) is their Wednesday Chinese buffet. Excellent choices to choose from. Both Pat and I found this buffet a delightful addition to their varied buffets on other days.

Myself and my partner could not wait to go see Nazareth we were so excited we got front row centre seats and only living 5 minutes away we thought what the hell let’s also get a room there so we spent 1122.00 and with both of us being off on medical leave we said our last hurrah but when Nazareth came out the crowd rushed the stage the security could not control it and my condition I cannot stand for a long period and really thought I wouldn’t have too given the fact that we paid 833.00 for a seat so lesson learnt we left and went back to our room into the third song disappointed to say the least why pay so much for front row seats when you cannot not only see the concert but enjoy it from your seats that you paid good money for! We will not be back and I am so sorry for the rant but I just don’t get

We had a great experience at Casino New Brunswick in Moncton! The buffet was excellent — lots of fresh, tasty options and something for everyone. The live band added a fun, upbeat vibe to the evening, and there’s a huge variety of slot machines to choose from, so you’re never bored. The atmosphere was lively but welcoming, and it’s easy to see why this spot is so popular. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

The casino itself is pretty good, kinda confusing at first, slots are all geared to entice maximum bets, irregardless of bet amount, makes you miss the old days of 1,2,3 Pauline, now it's endless.. The all you can eat buffet leaves a lot to be desired, it was very disappointing to say the least, bland, tough, cold...definitely not what I'd be eating at a casino buffet...I've been to many casinos over the years, the food here ranked ....well, it's more polite not to rank it at all..

Great room, casino was fun, actually won some money. Enjoyed sitting at the bar with other guests watching the Blue Jays win. The hot tub and pool were very relaxing.

Zoo located inside the Magnetic Hill area amongst other attractions. It’s a pretty decent size zoo with lots to see for the family. Prices max at $19 for adults up to 59 and then go down in price for seniors and lower age groups. We spent just about 3 hours here and were able to see mostly everything from the lions, tigers to monkeys and lemurs. Animals looked healthy and happy for the most part. On a hot day bring a bottle of water (see further down about the water filling station). Didn’t see any signs about no outside food allowed so bring along some snacks if you like but they do have food and drinks you can purchase. Vending machines also scattered around the park but some seemed to be out of order. Ray’s Tips: Plan to spend 3-4 hours if you want to see everything at a leisurely pace. Remember to stay hydrated on a hot day. Inside the shop that sells Beaver Tails there’s a water bottle fountain next to the bathrooms.

Magnetic Hill Zoo is a fantastic destination for families and visitors of all ages. The variety of animals from Africa, Asia, and North America makes the experience both educational and enjoyable. The grounds are well-organized, and maps provided throughout the zoo make it easy to navigate. Advance ticketing is very convenient, helping to avoid long wait times during busy seasons. Parking is readily available and accessible, adding to the overall ease of visiting. My kids truly enjoyed our visit, especially seeing the animals up close, which made the day even more memorable. The zoo is well-maintained, with clean facilities, friendly staff, and enclosures that show great care for the animals. A highly recommended place for both learning and leisure.

This was an excellent zoo trip with a 3 year old! The animals are neat! Wish that the animals who were not there (tiger, red fox, seals) would have a sign up explaining where they are. I wish there were some guides because only at the lion area was a guide talking about them while feeding him. The male lion was roaring in what seemed like pain from arthritis. We appreciated the cart for $8 that allowed us to wheel the toddler around but strollers are allowed too (we just didn't have ours). The park is fun too The beaver tail place was closed The bathrooms were clean and nice The lady at the store closed up early (by 15 min) and when we came out to go to the washroom she refused to let us know and nor was she wanting us to step right back into the zoo to go to the washroom. If your place is supposed to remain open to 5pm, we expect to be able to go in the store until 5pm.

A clean, well-kept zoo with healthy and active animals. The layout is easy to follow, and the enclosures are spacious and well-designed. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Great mix of animals, from local species to exotic ones. Perfect place for families or anyone who enjoys being outdoors. One of the best attractions in Moncton.

I went to the zoo with my brother and his son. It is a great place if you want to get out for a family fun. Halfway through there is a park that your able to sit at and watch the kids play, plus they have bathrooms and a little snack area that you can also buy food and drinks at. The only problem that we ran into is we wanted a cart to push nephew around.But out of all the carts that they had most of them are broken. So we had to pick the best one, it's just a shame. That you pay eight dollars and they can't fix them up. All and all the zoo was a great time we stay until closing.

We absolutely love the zoo. The grounds were so clean and tidy. The animal s area were neat and tidy and clean and all the animals seemed to be very comfortable and relaxed The only thing I wish they would have had was hoodies to buy in the gift shop. We had an awesome time. Thank you to all the staff

Magnetic Hill Zoo is a fun place to visit with family. There are lots of animals to see, and the zoo is clean and easy to walk around. The animals look well cared for, and there are fun spots for kids to learn and play. It’s a great place to spend a few hours and enjoy nature and wildlife.

Wonderful campground. Spacious sites, with electric, water and dumping on the spot. Access to coastal trail, and a jewel of a golf course steps away. Great views over the bay from picnic area. The campground is very near the charming fishing town of Alma, where you can see the famously high tides lifting fishing boats out of the mud.

This is a place where you want to visit and spend lots of time enjoying the nature at its best. For us it was a short and quick tour due to time constraints. We did the Dickson fall hike with kids and enjoyed the hike. Information shared enroute about the surrounding made this small hike more memorable. Will be planning for a longer trip to explore more.

Amazing hikes and trails, as well as appropriate facilities in the campgrounds. The tides are high and beach exploration at low tide is a must at point Wolfe. Big spruce trees and right beside Alma, a cute little tourist area. The appeal is the undeveloped, low population factor.

We did the Lavarty-Moosehorn trail loop at the Fundy National Park. The fall colours were great and the rivers were energetic with fast flowing water into the Bay of Fundy. We did get lost many times throughout the trail though, better signage is needed.

Absolutely breathtaking place. Tons of stuff to do, and so little time. I'm thankful we live just an hour from this provincial park. We are very excited to take a few more trips here to really take in the natural beauty that is the Bay of Fundy. Our first stop was the Hopewell Rocks. Entry was I believe $39 for a family pass which included 2 adults and a few kids. Individual adult passes were $9. We opted to walk down to the ocean floor as that was the whole reason for going here... To enjoy the views and nature. If you choose to take the shuttle it is $2 a person and takes you right to the staircase. There are 100+ steps down and back up of course. Not a big deal but consider this if you're not 100% mobile. Prices of drinks inside the shop are about $3.00 for a bottled pop. I'm unsure about food... I'm sure it follows that trend as well. If you're going here for a visit but dislike crowds, consider going during the week while kids are in school. The playground was a good reward for the kids once they climbed all the steps and back to the top. There are various games for them to play. I love the addition of dog bowls filled with water for your furry friends. If you get muddy while walking around the ocean floor -- don't fret, you can rinse off your feet and shoes after climbing back up the stairs. We stopped at the salt water pool for an afternoon swim. The pool was heated and had a shallow end as well as a deep end over 11 feet deep. Diving board for the kids and lifejackets available if need be. The lifeguards didn't seem very pushy so it was easy to enjoy our time there.

Well worth the extra few hours of driving to get here. Loved going down to Point Wolfe and seeing the covered bridge. The visitors center is also very clean and there are plenty of scenic pull-offs and short trails along the main road.

Fundy NP was an amazing attraction. The visitors center and gift shop were amazing. There were many overlooks with amazing views. We stayed in the oTentiks and they were great. They had great space and amazing mattresses. It was very cozy as well. We did some trails and we were not dissapointed.

Cute little stop when the tide is fully out along the Bay of Fundy. Beach is full of smooth rocks and there is a couple little souvenir shops and a little restaurant near by. Not the most exciting place to spend a day at the beach but very dog friendly and there is a bathroom at the little restaurant!

Taking the slow road from Saint Andrews to Moncton is a journey worth savouring, full of detours that reveal incredible scenery, pockets of nature, and New Brunswick’s rugged coastal beauty. One such stop is the Sea Caves in St. Martins. Shaped by the tides, these natural wonders are best explored when the ocean draws back, allowing you to walk inside and marvel at their scale. When the tide returns, the same spot transforms into a dramatic shoreline, reminding you of the Bay of Fundy’s power and rhythm. It’s a stop that blends awe with a sense of discovery, the kind of place that makes you grateful you chose the slower road.

Such an amazing location and experience. You can't go into the caves and there's only one that's kind of deep. But regardless the whole location is pretty amazing. The rock stratification it's so cool and extends out right to the water's edge to the far left as you look out into the ocean. There's a muddy stream and lots of slippery rocks and seaweed so be careful. Most of the path out to the caves is dry and you can do it in running shoes if you want, but there may be a little stream to cross.

What a scenic and captivating spot! I would say because of water levels it's best to go in the early afternoon (around 2-3) otherwise the water is too high to get into the caves. Even at that time you will have to whip out your long jump skills! It's completely worth it though- the insides of the caves are almost other worldly! Pictures don't do it justice!

Absolutely beautiful place. Make sure you go at low tide to get the full experience. The restaurant there is delicious, and there's a little souvenir shop too.

It was worth the stop! You can’t go inside the largest cage anymore but it was still really cool at low tide to walk around the point to more sea caves. We also saw a bald eagle.

We visited the area over a couple of days. We were there for low tide on the weekend and high tide during the week in relation to my photos. We took a kayak adventure to view the sea caves on the water, and we took a hike above (there's a little turn off to the right going up the hill on the road that has a brown gate, if you go in there and park, you can access the trails above the sea caves) and below the sea caves to get a view from every angle. Recommend checking out the area. There are many little gift shops up and down the road and a nice family restaurant right on the beach area looking out to the sea caves. It's worth the trip! Bring a sweater for windy days and a hat for the sun! Also, bring proper footwear to walk in since you'll be walking across stones! :).

Unique place in the heart of the city with multiple vendors offering unique, traditional, and local merchandise as well as several world cuisine spots to try something new. Place is connected with other Downtown buildings via covered walkways and close to a city park.

I loved this place. There are so many vendors. Some vendors sell basic souvenirs for great prices, which is really great. And some vendors sell home made crafts. I love getting authentic souvenirs that represent the land I'm visiting. If you visit the Saint John City Market, you must get something from Beverly Reid at her Hampton Creators kiosk inside the market. She makes the most beautiful jewelry from Canadian maple leaves and flowers from her backyard. I got a stunning necklace - crushed up Maple leaves preserved in wine kind of resin, set in silver. And her prices are fantastic.

Nice market. Everything is meticulously laid out. There are fruits, vegetables, fish, meat, and some food from various countries. There are also handcrafted items and souvenirs.

Great little market for groceries, food and souvenirs. Lots of different cultural foods and creative artists selling their goods.

The area is small, and the products sold in some stalls are very attractive. I bought a lobster-shaped bath bomb.

This place was one of the best places that we visited during our trip, especially considering it was raining and windy the day our cruise ship stopped... Loved It!

Lovely little place with lots of local artist putting their souls into their craft. Aswell as a good few snacking opportunities!

So I'll start by saying if you come at the wrong time, this attraction is probably 2 or 3 stars. If you come at the right time, it's a solid 4 stars (maybe 5 if you add in the marine life). We took a cruise excursion that took us here first thing off the boat, unfortunately nothing was reversing so it was like ok a big body of water and a paper mill. We went about our tour and on the way back to the ship, I guess we had some extra time, so we went back by the falls. This time, it was reversing!! Definitely a very unique thing to see. Keep your eyes open for cute little sea animals (seals, otters, etc).

Just had a quick stop at the Reversing Falls in Saint John and wow—a tidal magic show in action! 🌊 Once every 12 hours, the Bay of Fundy flexes with its monstrous tides and literally reverses the river’s flow—one moment it rushes out to sea, the next it's surging back upstream. It’s kind of like nature doing its own Houdini trick! The pedestrian bridge and lookout platforms offer excellent vantage points—great for selfies. If you time your visit around high or low tide, it’s pure theatre: roaring water, churning whirlpools—you feel the raw Bay of Fundy power firsthand. Locals say it’s subtle, but I found it mesmerizing and totally worth the stop. This small-town gem is a refreshing detour that packs a punch: 5 stars, full stop ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

In my opinion, the Reversing Falls isn’t all that great or interesting. First and foremost, there aren’t any actual falls to see. Unlike in the name, there aren’t any reversing waterfalls. What is there is a river where the water reverses at specific times in the day. I do not think it worth taking a detour and visiting, but if it’s on your way, it’s not too bad either. It happened to be on my way and the walk down to the river wasn’t long either, but if I had taken a detour to come and see the reversing falls, I’d definitely be more disappointed with what I saw. There is a gift shop available for visitors to grab some merchandise, but it was very limited. Bathrooms were also available on sight - clean and easy to find. All in all, I don’t think I would visit the Reversing Falls again, but you may enjoy just popping by and grabbing lunch at their on site restaurant or something.

This is a strange, and fascinating, tourist attraction. The high tide from the Bay of Fundy actually REVERSE the flow of the Saint John River. We were there during the mid-morning and witnessed the spectacle. Worth a visit.

Public transportation to the site was available when we visited ($3 CDN per person to and from). The bus is the No. 1 (E / W) depending on which direction you're coming from. Ask the bus driver to let you know when to get off (we found the staff very nice). It's after the museum and high school, in a residential area. Walk through the neighborhood and you're there. You must be patient with the bus - I suggest downloading the schedule, so you can maximize your time at the phenomenon. Once there, there is a steeper short cut - look for the power line cables (see the photo) on the left as you come down the street. The shortcut does require the use of STAIRS. If you're in St. John, go see it (I purposefully did not post pictures of the falls). Finally, there is a public restroom in the vicinity. Travel safely.

Neat to see at full tide, walk down to other view points we came up to a mom and babies deers - cool

The Bay of Fundy is not a remarkable place. Interesting little town, but with an amazing, very unusual river that actually reverses twice a day and travels about 60 miles inland. Very cool excursion.

Amazing trails, I mean unbelievable untouched Mother Nature beauty. You can spend all day just admiring the surroundings. Easy and challenging. Love it!

The combination of pine scented air and briny sea air is salve to the soul. This place is peaceful and quiet. I saw seven deer throughout my two hours there! Hiking trails are well kept and relatively easy. Picnic tables and benches throughout for a rest. I love how you get forest, beach, views of the sea, salt marsh, and rocky terrain all in one place. This park is a gem!

Just a beautiful park! What a great surprise for an unexpected getaway. I drove across the border from Maine for an adventure with my daughter and I sure found one. Trails along the coast are beautiful. Lots of little stops along the way to rest and take great pictures. Many spots for an impromptu picnic and great barbecue spots. I will definitely do it again and again!!

Excellent location just outside the city offers a very welcoming first impression of the area. There are multiple areas, trails and entrances so if you want to see it all, but are somewhat short on time, it's best to plan your routes. If you plan accordingly, you can also see the rise and fall of the tides. 600 acres comprising of a children's park, beach, forests, BBQ pits and picnic tables coupled with various activities throughout the year. It's a nice break from the more industrial feel of the main city area in Saint John.

One of the best maintained parks in St. John and very scenic too. Main gravel road branches out into different circuits with varying lengths and difficulty levels, there's something for everyone. Big parking space at the main gate and smaller parking lots across the nature park so you can stop right next to the trail you want to hike. There are some looking points almost on every trail, overlooking the bay. Great to watch the tide turn. Bbq areas and portable toilets are across the park.

Beautiful trails to walk/bike. Tons of birds, if you take the time to sit still and call to them, they will land on your hand! Beautiful place to go for a walk with friends and/or to be alone and ponder your thoughts. *Great place for rocks and sticks *Parking lot is AWFUL, drive SUPER slow and check your tires before leaving your vehicle after parking to make sure giant sharp rocks aren't indenting your tires. *No garbage

Drove through the loop, stopped at all possible stops. This is a well kept nature reserve. Some of the stops had beautiful views. There are many trails. Was told that when the tide is low, seals can be seen on the rocks. Unfortunately the tide was high when we were there, did not see any seals.

It's not as large as expected, but there are still a lot of people. It's very considerate. There is a parking lot next to it. However, when there are many people every Saturday, I'm afraid there will be not enough parking spaces.

What a wonderful stop when in Fredericton. It has everything. I got a coffee, chimney cake and samosas for the drive to Quebec plus natural tick repellent for Nova Scotia! Could have spent a lot longer there!

I adore this farmers market. I make sure to visit every time I’m in the area. Truly such a great place and vibe. So many vendors of all varieties and truly kind people throughout.

A solid place to spend a Saturday morning. It’s busy, but that’s part of the appeal—lots of local vendors, fresh produce, baked goods and handmade items. Best to go early—things do sell out and it gets crowded quickly. A true Fredericton staple.

7am market opens. 7am parking only 3 blocks away. Understand that farmers may need to park close to refill stock, but no need for trucks with empty trailers taking Prime parking away from potential shoppers. Called the market got the ole fashion customer service "I'm so sorry but vendors have to park there. Nothing I can do." I worked in a different farmers market for our family farm. Every vender taking up a prime parking spot or two hurts the whole market. Expect hard to find parking by 10am easy but at 7am should be in and out like a bunny. I won't be giving this market another chance.

I really love going to this market, it’s a staple of Saturday’s mornings/before noon! They have everything from farm produce to actual pizza made in a fire oven and more! It’s the best market so far in my life and was the first! Fredericton was my place when I was a toddler because of some stuff happened in my life and now as an adult, I still love going to Fredericton because of its proximity for stores and restaurants! The inside may need some renovations like Led lights and the parking lots is always full there on Saturdays! I recommend this place! ☺️

Lovely market. A staple on my visits to Fredericton when I’m visiting my friends here. Would recommend to visitors and locals alike. From sausages on a bun to juice bars and fresh produce. Great atmosphere.

Went with our entire family on a family trip. Interested to learn about the history, of note the entire place is a reenactment with actors playing the part. The buildings and life that they portray are very interesting. Some of the older actors are very good, providing lots of history and answering questions. The younger actors staged in the blacksmith shop and who performed the dance really need to be educated on how to act properly especially when portraying a period in history. The blacksmith area was really poorly acted. In addition, we caught the 3 PM barn dance, which was not well orchestrated, laughable at times, with no historical context. The actors appeared to have never practiced this dance before and were very amateur. Most of the audience was just laughing and left promptly not waiting for them to finish. The horse carriage was a major hit among our family, especially with the kids. Staff at the visitor center were excellent, and very enthusiastic, providing lots of guidance. Overall, would recommend as a visitor tourist site, but keep your expectations low and do your research ahead of time.

Lovely historic site that I would definitely recommend. It's a lovely place to go for a long walk, explore the different historic buildings, and speak to the actors. It was a very laid-back environment and I found it quite relaxing. It's more focused on providing an experience of what it was like to live in this earlier period rather than providing structured history (e.g., there's no detailed interpretative centre). I would give yourself plenty of time as it takes a while to walk around to all the buildings, but that's part of the fun and it was very enjoyable. Definitely a very family and kid-friendly site. I look forward to visiting again!

This was my first visit but won't be my last. I used to love going to pioneer village when I lived in Toronto. Seeing the groups of camp kids was amazing as I known first hand these kids are building core memories. Definitely worth the visit and a great way to spend a day. Make sure to take the time to talk to the people working there.

This place is an absolute treasure: it is not a museum this is a time travel back for 200 years when this land was taken and cultivated by settlers. Live characters are explaining their life, work, tools and world and allow to learn more and have the most interesting exchange. I heavily recommend a visit in this marvelous place not only to learn about the development of the area in New Brunswick but also how our modern world developed in the last 200+years

Had a great time exploring Kings Landing on New Brunswick Day. Admission was free for the day, but would be worth it either way. All of the characters in the village were great. Learnt lots and saw so much. This time of year was great as many of the flowers and gardens were at peak time. Took tonnes of pictures. It takes about 3-4 hours to fully explore.

It was an amazing place with breathtaking beauty, welcoming people, animals, horse riding, in short perfect day out place with family. The roads are muddy so when it's dry, it's too dusty, taking a mask is recommended. My Son is allergic to dust so it wasn't comfortable for him. But he enjoyed a lot. And the warm brownie was just the perfect treat for all. The washrooms were clean, a gift shop to buy souvenir and there was restaurant too.

My absolutely favourite NB attraction. We have been visiting, multiple times a year, for 25 years. We first brought our children and now our grandchildren. It is a must see attraction. Talk to the workers in costume, try all the activities, you will love it!

Kingsbrae Garden is absolutely stunning and so beautifully maintained. Everything possible is done to keep the gardens in perfect condition, and you can truly see the dedication and effort put into managing it so well. It’s a wonderful place to visit, relax, and enjoy nature’s beauty. One small recommendation would be to consider slightly reducing the entry fee, though we completely understand the expenses involved in maintaining such a high standard. Overall, an excellent experience and definitely worth a visit!

Amazing amazing amazing 😍. Such gorgeous work. The compilation of plants thru the garden design is incredible that each garden is perfect at each point in the season. Clean and it's so large! You can be lost for hours. Love their monarch breeding program!!

I wish I had visited a month earlier when there were more flowers in bloom, but the ones that were there were amazing! So many bees! The sculptures were beautiful! Very friendly staff greeted us. I’d love to go back someday.

Worth the stop, Spent a little over 2 hours walking around the garden and I could have spent more time. Beautifuly taken care of. Staff is very nice and fun to chat with. We almost met Blue the peacock and missed him by not much but we could hear him quack throughout the garden. The flower displays were awesome, Could recognize a lot of native plants and planted ones.

What an incredible & beautiful garden to see. A restaurant that has great tasting food & very affordable. Benches available to sit if needed when you need it & many bees enjoying the pollen from all the beautiful flowers & don't bother with you. Can see whole garden in under 2hrs. Also has a animal section for the kids. Trail option available too for those who can. We did not take the trail. Looking forward to see it again next year.

The gardens are spectacular! They even have a few animals present on the grounds to help with trimming the grass. Groundskeepers and garden staff are really hard warming and could be seen frequently. They really care about their garden! Nice gift shop, but the restaurant doesn't measure up ( inexperienced servers and a slow, poorly resourced kitchen)

Stunning facility. One of our party had had a hip replacement, so we got a guided tour in a golf cart with one of the grounds workers. It is a fascinating park, and I wish we could have spent more time there. Every year they change the displays. A beautiful facility with a very reasonable admissions price.
