Haunted house
Fun & Games
If you're looking for a family-friendly adventure with a touch of the supernatural, the Haunted Mansion in Kensington is an absolute must-visit. This stunning Tudor-style home boasts beautifully manicured gardens and serene water features that create an inviting atmosphere. However, don't let its picturesque exterior fool you; this mansion has a reputation for being haunted!
Super fun place. We were only adults and we had a lot of fun. The house has so many details and many scary moments. You can go through as many times as you want with the ticket entry. And also we enjoyed the garden, so beautiful and with some activities and food trucks.
Nataly C — Google review
Such a fun attraction. The mansion is quite large and has so many different rooms. It’s so kitschy but awesome! My kids loved it. Not too scary and no live actors so no one will touch you. The grounds are quite beautiful but it is dated and some things definitely need to be updated and fixed.
Brianne Q — Google review
This was just fun! The house was 30-45 minutes. The gardens were very nice. We didn't walk around all of them, but it was over 90 that day, and there is not much shade. The only warning I will give about the house is that it is dusty, and the basement is damp. I have VERY mild asthma and my chest felt very heavy for about 30 minutes after we went through. Some good jump scares, and some nice old school horror references.
Wynde M — Google review
We had a blast! So much fun!🤩 From the manor, to the garden. And the ladies at the counter and the shop were friendly and sweet. Loved it.

A really fun haunted mansion, but only opens during daytime and there is an air canon on the top floor that is far too loud and it caused me to partially lose my hearing for an hour or two.
Marc B — Google review
It was actually a bit scary! My 4-year-old daughter even asked to leave 😅 Very impressive, but maybe not the best choice for little kids!
Alla L — Google review
Even in summer it’s worth the visit! At first i thought its a little pricey with 20$ per person, but it’s obvious that they put a lot of effort into the details and I really enjoyed every bit of it. The garden is also nice and well maintained.

Confederation Bridge

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
The Confederation Bridge, the world's largest bridge over icy waters, has connected Prince Edward Island to New Brunswick since 1997. Spanning a length of eight miles, it is an impressive engineering marvel. On the New Brunswick side, visitors can explore the Cape Jourimain National Wildlife Area with its diverse ecosystems and abundant bird species. Travelers have the option to drive across the bridge for a toll fee or take a more economical shuttle to access the park. This 12.
It's a beautiful drive across whether it's day or night !! The sunset is extremely beautiful from the bridge , I had the opportunity to visit the base of the bridge on my ATV , all I can say is look at the pictures!! All from the PEI side of the bridge!!

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.
Joe C — Google review
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.
SURAPA K — Google review
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
Monique D — Google review
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 ❤️
Parveer G — Google review
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.

The Bottle Houses and Gardens

Temporarily Closed
Sights & Landmarks
Garden
The Bottle Houses and Gardens, located in the Wellington region, are a unique attraction featuring colorful houses made of over 25,000 recycled glass bottles. Since 1980, this eco-friendly project has expanded to include eight buildings such as houses, a tavern, a chapel, and a gift shop. The walls of these structures are crafted from bottles cemented together in beautiful designs that create a stunning display when light shines through them.
The history behind this destination is heartwarming. If you really take your time, enjoy each feature, you will not be disappointed. The love this father had for his family while creating these dream bottle houses is so amazing. And the gardens - incredible. They have also created a special area for people to enjoy a picnic - complete with blankets and life sized versions of board games. We could have stayed here all day, a highlight of our trip to the island.
Angela S — Google review
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.
Marsh W — Google review
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❤️
Anne S — Google review
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.
Natalie C — Google review
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
Rengesh K — Google review
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.
C B — Google review
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.
Julieta C — Google review
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

Museum
Attraction
Specialty Museums
When you're in Prince Edward Island, make sure to visit the Canadian Potato Museum & Antique Farm Machinery Museum. This unique attraction celebrates the history and cultural significance of the potato, a staple of the region. The museum features informative displays on the arrival and impact of potatoes in the province, as well as an extensive collection of potato-related farm machinery and agricultural artifacts. Don't miss out on tasting various potato dishes at the museum's restaurant, including a local specialty called 'fries with the works.'
Truly an under rated gem in PEI, it’s quite far away from most things but worth the trip. Inside is extremely thorough exhibits that are also entertaining. Also, it is very easy to walk past their large hanger of farm equipment, but i encourage you to go In and see all the farming history. They also have a cheap and tasty potato themed restaurant and cute gift shop
Zack L — Google review
No visit to Prince Edward Island would be complete without a visit to the Canadian Potato Museum & Antique Farm Machinery Museum. Lots to see, lots to learn. Be sure to have a serving of their French fries, which are by far the best French fries I've ever had!
Nick K — Google review
What a truly wonderful place. We cannot recommend it too strongly. The museum is, of course, hugely informative, and the staff wonderful. But the restaurant! Oh My Goodness... With the help of the excellent Daniel, we concocted a lobster poutine that's hard to beat. They want to experiment & perfect it, so make sure you ask for it. My only change would be to use warm rather than cold lobster. But it was still wonderful - and I've eaten (and prepared) lobster poutine multiple times 🙏
Trevor W — Google review
I did not actually visit the museum, but stopped by for lunch in their cafe. It was very easy to walk in and get seated quickly. I was able to review the menu and the waitress came over to take my order within a few minutes. I ordered the pulled pork potato which came out very quickly and was delicious. I wasn't planning on getting dessert but they did have an apple crisp, which I got, and it was also fabulous. They had a cute little gift shop, and I purchased a couple bags of potato chips.
Marcy P — Google review
A unique museum with a nice mix of local community history and extensive information on potato farming and history. The restaurant fresh chips are great as was the blueberry bread pudding. Well worth the visit with friendly staff.

We had a great time touring the the building. The local history exhibits was very interesting as well. The history of the potato and PEI is well laid out, easy to read and lots of exhibits. They have a wonderful restaurant there with al sorts of potatoes dishes that are great. You have to try their blueberry bread pudding covered in caramel sauce, omg, it is sooo good.
Larry H — Google review
It wasn't my decision to go to the Canadian Potato Museum, but I'm glad I went. I learned a lot. Any antique farm machinery display was very interesting. Don't forget to stop at the restaurant and have a bite to eat. The ladies there are very friendly and you can watch them making french fries right at the counter. I had the grilled cheese sandwich and fries. It was the best grilled cheese I have ever had made with bread that has potatoes as the ingredients. And I would say the world's greatest french fries.
Kenny M — Google review
Learn about the history of potato farming and its significance to our world, Canada, and PEi’s agricultural scene and economy. Exhibits features a detailed overview of potato agriculture and cultural significance around the world as well as insights to modern production and techniques. There is also an exhibit with old farm equipment and one specific to the municipalities history. Then hit the gift shop for potato themed and local made goods as well as restaurant for the loaded bake potatoes, poutine, or even the green algae pie (more like a an angel food cake with algae whip cream but still very good). I wasn’t expecting much but there was defiantly loads to see. We spent 2.5 hours here and could have easily spent half the day.

Our adventure to the Giant Lobster! (Currently under construction at the time of posting). We were able to snap pictures and see this giant beauty of a lobster statue! There are also a few tiny gift shops in the area! Pictures are posted below of the items they are selling. There are many handcrafted and hand made items at the shops. There is also an information center about the area that also holds tours. There is a little mini lobster exhibit on property for a small ticket fee (we did not do this activity)

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.
Jianshu C — Google review
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.

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.

The Irving Eco-Centre, la Dune de Bouctouche, situated on the Northumberland Strait in New Brunswick, is home to a 12 km sand dune hosting diverse plant and animal life. Visitors can enjoy activities like hiking, picnicking, and birdwatching while exploring the well-maintained saltwater beach and 800m boardwalk. This ecological gem offers a chance to learn about its history and ecology without causing damage to the dune.
I visited the Irving Eco-centre, la Dune de Bouctouche with my family, and it was an incredible experience for 5 of us. Hidden gem, free access to beautiful sandy beach. The boardwalk is beautifully maintained and offers stunning views of the dunes and coastline, Long board walk but multiple access to the beach, you won’t have to walk far to get to the beach. It's the perfect place for a peaceful walk surrounded by nature. The information boards along the way provide interesting insights into the local ecosystem. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, making the visit even more enjoyable. This peaceful stretch of beach is great get away from the stress of life. This orange sand is soft and easy to walk on barefoot. You'll enjoy the sea air and the waves as they crash against the shore. This are is really safe for kids and a great way to get fresh air. I love my walks here and will be back. I highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking to explore the natural beauty of New Brunswick. The best part of this place is that it’s only 35 mins away from Moncton city. You can drive anytime you feel like☺️

A must stop. 12km beach that stretches out in the ocean. The history of the dune is great, the view is great and you can walk for hours in the sand. It was a quick stop for us but would go back to enjoy a relaxing time and walking in some shallow water.
Martine — Google review
This was our favorite thing to see in the area. The dunes are really picturesque and fun to walk out too. There is a long boardwalk that makes the journey out easy, but you can also go on sand and on the beach. There's lots to explore and see. It helps if you visit the interpretive visitor center which there are two of at the location, before you go out to the dunes, since it helps you to understand what you're looking at and searching for. Amelie at the interpretive center was fantastic at giving us lots of information not only about the park but also the area as well. Super knowledgeable and informative. Remember not to take anything from the beach. They have a sign and a box kindly asking whether you forgot to leave anything at the beach. Haha!
Cory S — Google review
Beautiful spot to visit. Parking is across the street and its free. They have an information center, bathrooms and changerooms. Bathrooms are more like portables. The boardwalk was big, spacious and very well kept. It had information along the walk regarding local wildlife or the actual center itself. Loved visiting. I came on a hot day and the sand was scorching, I wish I brought running shoes. I couldn't make it down to the water. Cute local ice cream shop beside the parking with a variety of options including vegan ice cream.

Great place to enjoy the sea breeze, admire the dunes, watch for birds, and get your steps in. The beautiful boardwalk runs for about 1km one-way and you can continue on the sand if desired. Facilites well maintained and there is free entry.

Was born and raised in Moncton, and had never been here. What a beautiful place. Parking across the street was ample and free. The boardwalk had information signs about aquatic life and the history of the boardwalk through many storms. Beach as far as your eye could see. Highly recommend this beautiful area.

Joggins Fossil Cliffs & Centre

Mentioned on 
+8 other lists 
Temporarily Closed
Museums
Non-governmental organization
Joggins Fossil Cliffs & Centre, located on the western coast of Nova Scotia, offers guided tours of its dramatic coastal cliffs and coal faces embedded with fossilized trees and marine life. The site spans 15 kilometers of coastal cliffs, showcasing rock layers that reveal a complete fossil record of life on earth 300 million years ago during the Coal Age. These cliffs also bear witness to the lush forests and tropical vegetation that once covered the area, contributing to the formation of coal deposits.
What a fantastic place to explore!! I loved the guided tour, would highly recommend you book at least the 30 minute one to learn what to look for and some of the science/History behind the cliffs. You are not permitted to take fossils from the beach, but that means you can find fantastic stuff each time you come. There are some stairs to get to and from the beach, but I was able to manage fine with a cane. Great experience for all ages!

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!
Mark D — Google review
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.
Ash S — Google review
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.

Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park

Mentioned on

Temporarily Closed
Nature & Parks
Park
Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park, located near the Bay of Fundy, boasts unique rock formations shaped by tidal erosion over thousands of years. Known as 'Flowerpot Rocks' due to their rounded appearance and vegetation cover, they serve as a reference for the world's highest tides. Visitors can explore beautiful trails both on and above the ocean floor while learning about tides, geology, fossils, native legends, history, and wildlife such as peregrine falcons and seals.
Beautiful place to visit. Walked down the trail to see the high tide, returned later and took a shuttle down so we could walk on the ocean floor at low tide. Great value price wise, one ticket allows you to come and go for 24 hours, so you could go back and see both high and low tides. Has a great gift shop. Plenty of parking for all sizes of vehicles. Eady to find and a beautiful drive to get there.
Michele G — Google review
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!
Kat — Google review
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.
Cee J — Google review
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.
Saman A — Google review
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!
Jeannie D — Google review
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.
Andy S — Google review
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.

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.
Angela T — Google review
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!

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..

Nestled just 15 minutes outside Moncton, the Magnetic Hill Zoo is a top attraction in the area. Boasting over 600 indigenous and exotic animals from around 80 different species, this zoo offers an impressive collection of wildlife. From Amur tigers and lions to zebras, Gibbon apes, lemurs, and more, visitors can explore diverse habitats designed for the comfort of the animals.
This is a great little zoo. It had a wide variety of wildlife in nice enclosures. It was the first zoo where we could easily see TWO black Panthers playing and interacting with each other. It was just the right size where you can see everything in a day.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
Ryan M — Google review
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.

St. Martins Sea Caves

Mentioned on 
18 lists 
Scenic spot
Nature & Parks
St Martins Sea Caves, located in the picturesque town of St Martins, are a natural wonder shaped by the powerful tides of the Bay of Fundy. These sandstone caves were formed over 250 million years ago and can be accessed via trails during low tide. The red sandstone layers and conglomerate stones create a stunning visual display, with the caves partially submerged at high tide.
A Natural Wonder You Can Walk Through! The St. Martins Sea Caves are absolutely mesmerizing! It’s amazing to see how the tides reveal these majestic caves and let you walk right into them during low tide. The red cliffs, unique rock formations, and the powerful Bay of Fundy tides make this spot truly special. It’s a perfect blend of adventure, natural beauty, and coastal charm. Don’t forget to check the tide schedule—walking on the ocean floor is an experience you won’t forget!
Tiljo A — Google review
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!
Amanda M — Google review
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.
Marc G — Google review
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.
Cory S — Google review
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!
Jodie-Lynn M — Google review
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.
Kaitlyn M — Google review
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.
Colin B — Google review
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! :).

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.

Reversing Falls

Mentioned on 
36 lists 
Waterfall
Nature & Parks
Bodies of Water
The Reversing Falls in Saint John, New Brunswick is a must-see attraction known for its tidal rapids on the Saint John River. It is popular for whitewater kayaking and features an observation deck for visitors to enjoy the natural phenomenon. The Bay of Fundy, home to the highest tides in the world, influences the flow of the river. At low tide, visitors can explore sea caves and rock formations along miles of dry land.
The reversing waterfall is fascinating to watch at low tide, when the water is rushing down towards the sea, and at high tide, when the water is going back up the river. I went back twice to see both. Apparently the tide can change the river depth by five metres. Best place to watch is at the Reversing Waterfall Park. Even if you are not there at peak low or high tide it is interesting to see.
John B — Google review
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).
Shula R — Google review
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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
G D — Google review
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.
Swati P — Google review
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.
Dan T — Google review
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.

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!

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.

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.
Andrew B — Google review
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.
Z K — Google review
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.

Dr. D — Google review
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! ☺️

Local history museum
Sights & Landmarks
Kings Landing in New Brunswick is a living history museum that offers a unique blend of traditional museum exhibits and an immersive historical village experience. Spanning 300 acres, this open-air museum showcases over 70,000 artifacts depicting life in 19th-century New Brunswick. Visitors can interact with costumed actors portraying various roles such as millwrights, carpenters, blacksmiths, and grocers.
An amazing blast to the past with knowledgeable costumed characters who bring the whole experience alive. The houses are all set up amazingly and the blacksmiths shop actually demonstrates how to make various items right in front of your eyes. I highly highly recommend this as a stop if you are nearby.
Random 2 — Google review
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.
Maya K — Google review
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 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.

It was an amazing place with breathtaking beauty, welcoming people, animals, horse riding, in short perfect day out place with family.

A great stop to see the "world's longest covered bridge". We were able to take pictures of the bridge but as our vehicle was too heavy (3T maximum), we were unable to drive through the single lane bridge. Still worth the stop though!

One way bridge. Height restrictions. Parking spot for overheight and over night! Nice walk on side of bridge. Information center on other side

The Chocolate Museum

Mentioned on 
 
Local history museum
Museums
The Chocolate Museum, located inside Resurgo Place in Moncton, offers an engaging and informative tour that delves into the history of chocolate and the Ganong family's business. Visitors can steer a car-cart over a giant floor map to watch video footage and learn about the origins of chocolate. The tour guide, Judy, provides interesting insights and makes the experience enjoyable. Guests have the opportunity to sample chocolates and candies during the tour and witness artisan chocolates being handcrafted at the end.
What a fun and informative tour. The full tour takes around an hour and you should check the times in advance or you may have to wait. I waited, but there is plenty to see around the museum, so it didn't matter. Our tour guide was great and had so many interesting facts about the history of the company and its founders. Well worth the visit.

It was a last minute decision to drive from Saint Andrew’s to St. Stephen’s to check out the Chocolate Museum, and we are so glad we did! The information provided during the tour far exceeded our expectations and the chocolate treats offered during the tour was an unexpected surprise. Our tour guide had the type of passion and enthusiasm you want in someone taking you through the history of the Ganong family and their chocolate making empire. We really enjoyed the tour and our time there and do recommend it as a destination in your travels too.

I really wanted to like it! Sadly, I was quite disappointed. I found the experience quite boring. I thought we would see how the chocolate was made, like part of the factory, but it was only history. The whole town seems to revolve around this company, so I would think they would work to make it more exciting. The chocolate itself is okay - I've had better and I've had worse. The staff know their stuff and were friendly, so 3 stars instead of 2.

Wonderful and interesting tour of the original factory. LOTS of samples. Shop next door. Would highly recommend.

The nerd in me LOVED the history I learned from this little tour! I’m from the surrounding area and knew NOTHING about the history of Ganongs. My tour guide was top notch, interactive and a delight. Little samples along the way made it extra sweet. I discovered a new love thanks to this tour (Pal-O-Mine Chocolate bar). This history of this company is so cool. All that’s left to improve on this tour is to update the 20 year old videos they play 😉 (they’re still informative though!). A great way to spend an hour on a hot summer day!

What a great experience to see how the chocolates are made into find out all about its beginnings. The gal who gave us the tour did an outstanding job. Tasting chocolates along the way was an added bonus. Be sure to pick up a box or two to bring home to the folks at home.

Mountains
Cadillac Mountain, standing at 1,530 feet, offers a trail with informative plaques and stunning panoramic views from the top. The mountain is also known for hosting events like the Acadia Night Sky Festival's Shuttle to the Stars, where visitors can join astronomers and park rangers to observe constellations and other night sky features using binoculars and telescopes.
I hiked the north ridge trail to the summit to witness the beautiful sunrise. But to get a parking spot there you need to be there really early. Otherwise you will struggle to find a spot. Anyway, it was awesome to see the sun like this. No trees, no houses or whatever in the way. Just the wind, the sun and you. And a few other visitors of course. I started the hike around 3 AM and arrived at the top around 4 AM. Sunrise was at 5:39 AM. That is plenty of time to see the horizon turning red. Until the sun emerges in a bright red light. Awesome!

What an incredible experience. Make your reservations to drive the mountain drive. Explore every backroad possible. The views were amazing and the fall colors were stunning. Pictures don’t come close to showing how beautiful they were. Take the time for this drive.
Greg B — Google review
Despite it being windy and cloudy thwarting our views, it was a beautiful trip up the mountain. I loved being in the cloud! There were fresh ripe wild blueberries, and beautiful trails to explore. I highly recommend! You must make reservations in advance to access Cadillac Mountain. Tickets go on sale 30 days in advance.

We managed to get a summit mountain road pass 48 hours prior and it was an AMAZING sunrise. It was very very very cold though. Would highly recommend seeing this sunrise.
Ashley P — Google review
So grateful to have the opportunity trekking on the north ridge trail to see the sunrise. Even though I should wake up at 4.30 AM, the experience was worth it. The view while climbing up the trail was magnificent, great opportunity to have great bonding with friends. On the summit, the view was amazing, you wouldn’t regret to be there. Besides, you could also use car to reach the summit. However, just make sure that you bought the ticket online.

Known for the first bit of sun, we ventured out for sunset. Beautiful view of mountains, ocean, and lakes. Perfect view from the summit road overlook.
Kelli M — Google review
Best views in Acadia! I highly recommend the hike up, especially in the fall. It’s also a great place to see the sunrise, and there are several overlooks facing east on the hike up you can stop at for sunrise so you can enjoy the view crowd-free (expect huge crowds at the summit for sunrise). If you’re driving, you MUST have a reservation!
Via D — Google review
Gorgeous views! Lots of visitors so it’s hard to find parking. Also, you must have a reservation to enter for the sunrise viewing.Good luck with that! We had to take what was available so we went at 10am. It was packed, no parking and also govt shutdown so services were limited.

Beautiful 3 mile hike in the morning. Parking fills up so get there early. Clockwise goes along elevated log trails and a few rock scrambles but the 2nd half is an easy walk. One of the most majestic trails in all of Acadia. Saved this one for the very last hike after a week long of moderate and challenging hikes. Great way to end our time in Acadia.

A nice place for short hikes and picnic. Notice that it's pretty crowded and in high season you won't have parking 10am to 4pm . IMO nice but not wroth the hype
Amit M — Google review
Beautiful lake with a nice hiking trail around the edge! The trail is pretty rocky on one side and these plank boardwalks on the other, so definitely wear hiking boots. The trail is pretty crowded and parking is a disaster, but the pond itself is lovely.
Via D — Google review
Easy hike for the whole family! Highly recommend getting there early in the morning during the fall season due to the popularity and the flat hike. Beautiful all around.
Marina M — Google review
We went really early and it was quiet nice walk. Got busy after an hr but still ok. By the time we left, it was terribly busy. So suggest going early like 7-7:30 am for the trail, finish that and then go to the restaurant - upstairs they have the grab and go section for food with nice upper deck outdoor seating. Also has a gift shop - slightly overpriced because same stuff can be purchased in bar harbour town for a lot cheaper.
Mamta K — Google review
Beautiful and peaceful trail around the pond with stunning views of the lake. Easy walk with a mix of boardwalks and dirt paths, but there’s a fork where you can veer off for some fun rock scrambling and climb to the top for amazing views. Totally worth it if you’re up for a bit more adventure!
Shachar A — Google review
Beautiful place to stop if you get hungry or for a good flat hike for any age. Food is great and service is great. But kids and folks any age will love the hike around the pond. So beautiful, so quiet and peaceful. You can view Twin Peaks and also take a detour to Bubble Rock if you want. If you are doing Park Loop drive and need a stop. This is a good place. So plan accordingly.
Sharath N — Google review
We stopped here in the evening of our 1st day when the crowds were gone and we had rhe trail mostly to ourselves. It was very cloudy and cooler temps, but I loved seeing it like this. We didn't walk the whole trail, but did see a good amount of it. The gift store at the teahouse was still open and we also stopped in there. Lots of lovely souvenirs and an overall fun place to look around. This is a great place for all ages to explore; the trail is mostly flat and accessible from the parking area. Definitely recommend stopping by early morning or after dinner when the crowds are gone for the day.

Peninsula

Walkers Point, located on Ocean Avenue, served as the summer White House during George H.W. Bush's presidency. The seaside peninsula is a favorite retreat for the Bush family and has hosted friends and dignitaries from around the world. Access to the compound is limited due to Secret Service protocol, but visitors can still enjoy picturesque views of the area from the roadside. Despite limited visibility due to privacy measures, it's still worth stopping by for a glimpse of this historic location.
Absolutely beautiful. Couldn’t believe how close to the road it was. Many different places to pull in and take pictures. Also, go through the church. It’s stunning. And they have seating outside if it’s nice to have service while looking at the ocean.

I know you can't get closer, but it was fun to pull over on the side of the road to view it from a distance. The Bush family has used the Walker Point Estate since since the day's of George H.W. Bush's great-grandfather.

You know how you envision how a place must look in your mind, growing up hearing about the Bush Summer White House in Kennebunkport, and then you get there but it's not at all like you expected but you didn't know what to expect anyway? There you go.

This is a nice drive, taking you by beautiful homes, notable scenery, the Bush compound (clearly marked with a roadside pullout & marker), and St Ann's church, which is lovely in and of itself. Start on the Kennebunkport end and take it all the way to Hwy 1, on the other end. Very pretty!
