Fun things to do in Moncton: 23 fun attractions and activities

Excellent place to learn about Moncton history. Displays are very informative and staff very knowledgeable to add more to your experience. The interactive displays are fantastic to engage children.

This is a fabulous museum. The first floor is full of interactive activities and arts and crafts for children. The staff were very friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. A special shout out to guide Sadie who spent time with my kids !

An informative and fun experience to get to know more about local history. The staff at the front desk and staff throughout the museum were very nice and patient explaining everything to us. Lots of interactive activities too.

Serge was fantastic — the best museum guide we’ve ever had! You can tell he truly loves what he does. Thank you so much for giving my family and me such an enjoyable experience. Thanks, Sergio, for your engaging talk! Also, many thanks to the reception staff — everyone at the museum was so kind and welcoming.

First I enjoyed the ground floor part which is more kid oriented but with the right state of mind an adult can have lots of fun, too. The second floor is a classic historical museum with nice objects. I especially liked the china used in railway travel and some of the clothes like for curling and ice hockey. I talked to a staff member and she was really welcoming. The person at the reception was standard, polite but not as warm as the other person. It's always nice when you are warmly welcomed. Am added plus.

Was surprisingly super fun and interesting. Big room with interactive stations on all different transportation methods in NB in history. Very fun for kids. Good for history buffs, lots of old objects and clothing and their description. Very friendly and helpful staff.

A great museum to visit if you have some extra time. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We started with a tour of the non-denominational place of worship by Sadie who was really engaging and informative. It was a great way to start the visit. Once inside the staff were ever so helpful and approachable. Whenever we had a question, Ahmed (interpreter/docent) would look into finding an answer if he didn’t know it off the top of his head). Upstairs, Ethan introduced himself and let us know he was also available to answer any questions. Overall it took around 1.5-2 hours to visit the museum, but we took our time reading as much as we could. There was even space for younger kids to enjoy. This is a great spot if you’re looking to kill a bit of time and learn something in the process.

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.

Cool spot! Bought some green next store and enjoyed it while looking at the river

The bore itself is highly variable and most days it's not very big, but still it is a unique ocean phenomenon worth checking out. Nice viewing deck right on the river, free parking, near food.

Wow! An insane amount of ice cream, and you can't go wrong with Chapman's ice cream. Reasonably priced for the amount you get. One scoop - The L'il Prince - was almost too much, and if you get the King size, it's 4 scoops. If you like ice cream, you gotta stop here when in Riverview.

An amazing moment to remember. Nice trail to walk along while waiting. Make sure to check the bore website for schedule and arrive early.

It was just magical to watch the tide coming in

Stunning boardwalk views to enjoy the low and high tides. Would recommend this spot to sit and enjoy

Very cool to see the tidal bore. Be sure to be there at the exact times as it happens very quickly.

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.

A beautiful and well maintained park on the edge of Moncton. Well used by joggers, bikers, and dog walking. Cool and forested on a hot day and enjoyable with a minimal of bug spray. Facilities along the trail for use and a large clean washroom in the parking lot. Lots of parking and friendly encounters along the trail. No costs involved, just a free nature good time. Well worth a visit. Please pick up after your pet if you bring him or her along for a visit.

23 June 2024 The MAIN trails are beautiful. Clean, well marked to easily locate where you are or intent to go. The trails are wide, level/even terrain with a nice ground material, for great footing. Along the trails are some nice bridges, benches, and porta poties and singage. The side trails are a totally different beast. I was taken by surprise by how poorly marked and maintained these trails were. I've seen a lot of trails and some of the side trails I wouldn't consider a public trail but rarher a direction through the the woods o get through to a trail. Above all, it was a very enjoyable trail.

Oh this is a magnificent park, with easy and long enough trails for everyone and beautiful views. All the trails I have been on this park are mostly flat, which makes it easy for those with certain conditions. And all of them offer beautiful forest settings, completely natural surroundings and quiet time. The park gets you far enough from traffic noise (in contrast to Centennial park which is beautiful but some parts have too much noise during the day because there's construction going on in the back and there's a highway there too). This is a beautiful place to go and relax, and enjoy nature. I recommend it in the fall (October, photos are from October 10), the colors are STUNNING.

Love this beautiful trail, you could spend a full 8hrs or more on all the trails. There are so many and it is well maintained. Plenty of look out points and beautiful things to see. Bring your walking shoes a camera and something to feed the ducks. So happy this place is just a small drive away in the city. Can not wait to go back and try more trails and see the new bridge when it is done.

We took the whole family for an afternoon walk. Beautiful scenic trails. Cute little critters and tons to keep even my Youtube adicted kids distracted for a few hours. I love the lake and the small creeks with the sturdy bridges. There are markers on the trail and clear maps to follow if you get lost. Lots of benches for resting and even bathrooms here and there. It's mostly clean and very well taken care of.

Such a beauty of a spot. Perfect for long walks in and around the forest, serenity! The water ways are beautiful too. Many places to sit and soak in the sunshine. Also has covered areas perfect for photography in the rain. I love this park

Super easy access. Beautiful grounds, I was continually stopping my hike to take more pictures. Saw a ton of wildlife. Great, wide and well maintained trails. Pack a picnic and some good walking shoes, and get out here!!

Sky Zone in Moncton is an excellent facility for families and children. The environment is clean, well-maintained, and most importantly, safety measures are clearly prioritized for all visitors. The variety of activities offered provides entertainment for a wide range of ages, making it a suitable choice for both casual visits and active play. It also serves as an outstanding venue for parties and group events, with organized spaces and accommodating staff that ensure a seamless experience. Parking is available and generally acceptable, adding to the overall convenience. Overall, it is a highly recommended destination for recreation and celebrations.

We got there early, and we're able to jump when our party was there. (It was first thing in the morning). Some of the little ones I had with me for a party fell and needed a bandage, they helped and were so quick and pleasant to deal with. The area was clean, there was music but not too loud. They were very helpful moving our cart from the entrance to our table. It moved smoothly like a well oiled machine.

My child loves going here. There are many safety guards so you can rest assured. Only Sky Zone exclusive socks are allowed. The food is also delicious. The entrance fee and additional facilities are not cheap, but if your child is not too young, you will likely be able to have fun. I recommend this place. Thank you!

Massive indoor playground / arcade / obstacle course / basketball/ dodgeball / trampoline spaces, 10/10 would recommend for all ages and moderate activity level. Kids will sleep well at the end of your visit hahaha

The kids had an amazing time and so did this big kid. So much to do. We will be coming back for sure. I love the fact that the little can go on the bigger trampolines and have fun with the bigger kids. The service was amazing and we will definitely be coming back for round two. I reccomend the no limit pass.

Amazing first experience came up from Cape Breton. My daughter said it was one of the best times she's ever had. We pre paid online, which was quick and efficient service! The woman at the desk was really helpful as well!

Very helpful and gracious staff! Helped the kids and us parents getting set up! They even chatted with the kids while they were going throughout the stations! 30$ per child plus your trampoline socks for all day fun! Thanks for the good time!

I had previously given a poor rating on the Magic Mountain Golf Zone, but they spent about a year with a total reconstruction of the Golf Zone. I had high hopes but found myself disappointed and think they went the cheap route. The old Golf Zone had character: buildings, lighthouse, variable sloping terrain, a water feature. The new Golf Zone is wide open and the courses jammed close together. It lacks character now. We played 2 nine hole courses. It was "ok". We probably won't go back.

Magic Mountain GolfZone was super fun! They had many different courses each themed and had decorations to liven the place up. There were 2 easy courses and 2 hard ones. All 4 courses had 9 holes but were extremely fun.

First time going to the GolfZone since it's been rebuilt and we enjoyed it very much. Had nothing to do one evening and I suggested mini golf and my partner was all in for it. We took the 18-hole package and completed 2 of the 4 courses. The decorations and theming is fabulous, the grounds are very well kept and clean and overall it makes for a very fun little outing. We will be back to do the other 18-holes

Alot of fun!,however; we felt rushed at the 18 hole mini-golf.

Great set up and great options with 4 different 9 hole courses to choose from.

Really fun staff outing!

Fun place for an afternoon out, or for a kid's birthday party!

Great splash pad, parking close by, can bbq at picnic areas great play ground and a nice walk/riding path around pond. A good and cheap family day. Trees offer shade. Enjoyed this park every time ive been with family (public washrooms as well)

A nice, large park for recreation. It has plenty of trees and a river. There is a swimming pool in the summer and boat rentals available. There are several picnic and relaxation areas with many tables and free grills.

Beautiful park that has something for everyone no matter what the season! Splash pad is fully accessible and great even for toddlers. There is a huge playground with equipment for all ages, a basketball court, and plenty of picnic space. There are some beautiful trails, and you can easily push a stroller or wheelchair around the lake.

Attended the Atlantic Nationals car show, fantastic experience. My first show as a competitor, I did not win any prizes but we had a wonderful weekend. Looking forward to this annual event from here on in. 1700 cars in the show, one of the largest shows.

Great park for everyone to enjoy. There's lots of walking paths and a lovely playground for the youth. In the winter, there is a skating path, and in the summer, the pool and splash park will help you cool down. There are tennis courts and lawn bowling greens. There's places to BBQ and have picnics. Lots of parking is available too.

This is a park I go to often for an easy but very enjoyable walk. The trails are long enough to lose yourself in calmness and nature for a little while and separate yourself from town living, it is also easily accessible through the city bus (codiac) system. In the winter it is perfect to go tobogganing or do some cross country skiing.

Nice park and wooded area for a walk, picnic, water park. Will be even better once the construction is completed. Winter update, construction is done, park looks great and skating loop is very nice although a bit melted due to warmer temperature.

Neat museum recounting the history of the acadians from the area, with exhibits, information panels, and artifacts. It was interesting to refresh my memory on the subject as we visited the Maritimes. Several of the technology elements were not working (ex., phones for audio). There were free postcards available at the exit. Admission includes access to the art gallery in the same building. There were washrooms and water fountains available. Parking is paid on campus.

Absolutely wonderful exhibits of the long history of acadians with very passionate staff.

Very nice and the receptionist was very helpful. Love learning about my Acadian ancestry.

Small university campus. It has it all but there is a lot of empty space between the buildings. You better bike around.

Interesting museum about Acadian culture and history

Good place

(Translated by Google) A great discovery that the whole family enjoyed (my partner and teenagers aged 11, 13 and 15)! Very affordable (around $15 in total), we stayed there for almost 2 hours! The exhibits are very interesting! (Original) Une belle découverte que toute la famille a apprécié (mon conjoint et des ados de 11, 13 et 15 ans) ! Très abordable (environ 15 $ au total), nous y sommes restés près de 2 heures ! Les expositions sont très intéressantes!

I went to Capitol Theatre to see the play "Cinderella" by the Atlantic Ballet School. It’s a very beautiful place with comfortable seats—modern and clean. There are free water stations, and you can also buy drinks like wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages during the intermission. The staff were very polite and friendly. Five stars to them!

Great theatre with all kinds of history in the town of Moncton. From fires, Ghost stories, re builds, all kinds of history. Worth seeing a show or even going and getting a tour. Handicap accessible Clean updated washrooms Clean theatre Prices vary by the shows

The generous and friendly staff allowed us to do an engagement photoshoot at the Capitol recently, and we were so happy with the results! As wedding photographers in the Moncton area, we are always super happy to play in a super photo-worthy location :)

We hosted our event there last night, Hells Bells Canada. The staff were plenty and extremely accommodating, welcoming and friendly. Amazing venue to showcase your talent. The crowd was amazing. Thanks for the hospitality everyone!

Absolutely stunning old style theater that feels so grand amd glorious. I plan to attend other productions there.

We came for the Kevin Bridges comedy show. Beautiful venue and the seats were very comfortable

Beautiful theatre and the view from the balcony was amazing. Loved Bear Grease!

My children and I have gone to the Thomas William House every year it has been open to the public. Now it's my grandchildren's turn and they really enjoy it and, of course, the Tearoom. Jane was our guide this year and she really made a connection with my grand-daughter who absorbed everything she said like a sponge. It was especially nice to see Emma again, who has always been a great tour guide. She and Jane have great patience with children (a virtue in my books). PS. The new front walk is lovely.

Can anyone tell me if the Thomas House is open year round..

Small historical building. The short visit can be paired with a stop by the tearoom. The offer is limited but they have vegan and gluten free cake. It is a nice place to take a rest while visiting Moncton.

Got invited to a Valentines themed afternoon tea at this beautiful historical house. Its definitely a hidden gem in Moncton downtown. This Victorian style house built in 1883 by Thomas Williams. The tea party was good, they serve great local tea and baking goodies with great service.

Great free historical tour! Very accessible with fun anecdotes (is. bessie's diamond in the window and the Ismay dining table). Miranda was an awesome tour guide. The tea service is surprisingly solid too. A gem in Old Moncton.

Really nice house and even though it seems like it's a flashback in time, its modernized to be convenient for our stay for 5 of us The only downside is that there is only one shower so prepare yourself accordingly but great stay and definitely would recommend

Great. Alexander our guide was very good with a lot of information and détails And their tea room the véranda is very good

This was a very cool place to do escape rooms. Our group did the Jurassic Lab room and finished it with 28 minutes to spare. The rooms seem easier than the rooms that we are used to but it was very fun.

It is an excellent place to spend a happy time with friends

We were a group of four and visited a few weeks ago. It was such a fun and memorable experience! The puzzles were creative and challenging, but not frustrating, which made it super engaging for all of us. The staff was really friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was immersive from the moment we stepped in. Definitely a great team-building activity and something different to do on a weekend. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun mental challenge and a good laugh with friends!

Some of the more difficult but fun puzzles in any escape room I’ve ever done. I do think that some props and the overall look could use some improvement but other than that very much worth it. The price is unbeatable however.

If you're looking for something fun to do with friends, this is a great choice! My friend and I were looking for something fun to do for my boyfriends birthday, and it was perfect. Unfortunately, we did end up losers, but it was still a great experience. The lady working was super nice and explained everything thoroughly. We’re already planning our next trip :)

Great escape room but nowhere to start because there is only one room. Doesn’t feel like a real escape room but still great play to have some fun.

Whole family had fun, variety of different rooms to choose from. Puzzles were interesting.

Very great experience. Very clean and well organized. Great staff and like to go see the theater play . Great to hear french.

Thankyou so much for letting my band _echoseven film our video in your parking lot much appreciated

It's a good place but they need more washrooms.

A great night out. Good production.

Nice building

(Translated by Google) A rich and very diverse program Truly an important place for the city of Moncton! (Original) Une programmation riche très diversifiée Vraiment un endroit important pour la ville de Moncton !

My Kisds loved it !!! Amazing Play Place – Highly Recommend! We had such a fantastic time at this play place! There's so much fun to be had for kids of all ages. Staff were friendly, helpful. highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun, safe, and enjoyable outing for the whole family. We’ll definitely be back! Hop! Skip! Jump!

Kids loved it, even my 8 month old son had a blast. My older son and I enjoyed the arcade part. Very cheap place to take the kids to get some energy out, it was less than $40 for myself, my wife, 5 year old & 8 month old sons.

Awesome spot for the whole family! Not just fun for the kids so when when you're feeling extra playful I'd highly recommend (I'll admit I've had more fun than my kid did on a few occasions🫣😅) hahah. Love it, always a blast!

Amazing place! So much to do for the kids!!! Time flies by so fast ! Very clean and very nice and friendly staff! Thank you for having us!

We went for my daughters birthday who also happens to have mild cerebral palsy. She wanted to try the rock climbing, we were hesitant as we could not go in with her. I spoke to one of the worker to let her know she has difficulty with her balance due to her disability. During her time in the rock climbing the two ladies in there were amazing. They seen she needed a extra hand and helped her all well letting her maintain her independence. We appreciated the extra effort they put in to making her experience great.

Daughter loved it , lots of entertainment for kids at a reasonable price .

Amazing play structure for the kids they had so much fun

Great pool and safe place to swim for kids with small sauna. Rating 4 Stars because of the lack of personal and only 2 slots for public swimming on weekends. People have to wait until there is availability. It would be more convenient to add more public slots on Saturday and Sunday this issue can be solved and save parents time on weekends.

Google shows pictures of the pool and immediately below the hours say Open until 6pm. Today is Thursday. We came at 4:20 paid $20 for 2 adults and a nine yr old. My spouse swears that after we paid we were informed that it was closing in 40 minutes. She politely disagreed. We’re tourists and so hot & tired & my spouse is such an accurate person so… anyways doesn’t matter. The first thing the clerk should say is “Do you realize it is closing and by the time you get changed you’ll have 20 minutes?” She was very nice tho., The staff shared Info on where the family friendly changing rooms are , and was sympathetic to our ongoing abysmal tourist experiences in Moncton and recommended other pool options. Unfortunately our kid has Sensory Processing Disorder and finds outdoor pools too cold even when it is very hot outside. DIEPP PLEASE fix your Google hours associated with the pool. Your “Aquatic Center” center/gym or whatever else may be open u til 6pm but that doesn’t helps tourists with kids.

Facility should allow reservations for swim times/online ticket sales. Water is very cold compared to some other indoor pools we've been too. Changing rooms were FREEZING after exiting the water. Brr... Pirate ship and obstacle course were cool though. Umbrella waterfall wasn't working.

The best indoor pool in GMA for sure. Great for kids with a big pirate ship with slide and another water slide for older ones. theres even a rope to swing into the water. lots to do. good swim times, decent family price for the experience and no silly rules they even let go of the swim cap requirement.

The dieppe aquatic centre is a great place to be, when you can get in. We went twice over March break, the first time we got there at 2:00 and they said that the space for public swim was already full (public swim is 215-355 so it hadn't even started yet technically). The second time we went we showed up at 145 and same thing, they filled all the spots before 2pm and swim was 215-355. I asked one of the girls at the desk and they told me they get different numbers daily that it doesn't matter on staff or anything and that they don't know why the numbers are different. I specifically stated I knew it wasn't their fault but that it was disappointing. Today when someone else asked they were told they were short staff. No one really seems to know anything or have any actual answers that they can stand behind. Very disappointing as it's the only pool geared towards kids. You'd think for March break they'd add more public swims or something to accommodate all the extra people.

We like the pool. And wait that there will be more available days and hours for visits with children under 2y.o.

Great place for a birthday party. Very affordable. Recreational pool is lots of fun for children and parents alike. You really can't beat a pirate ship in the pool either. Fantastic swimming lessons

we went to the hangout, and it was terrible, the lock malfunctioned and we wasted 20 minutes on it, and then had to go find the workers. and as we entered the next room the 3rd room (the one your meant to unlock) was already wide open. we closed it ourselves but already saw what was inside and went inside thinking it was part of the second room. the clues were not helpful. 0 stars. i’ve been here before in the mineshaft one and it was great, the clues were helpful and the staff was monitoring our cameras incase we needed help. this time was terrible compared to before (about a year ago) 0 stars if i could. bad experience.

The room was very lack luster and the explanation was very confusing. The pussles were lengthy and boring causing it to feel like a chore rather than a fun puzzle. For the price I was very disappointed considering my past experience with other escape rooms. I definitely recommend you go somewhere's else.

We went to the hangout and it was awful we had gotten the clue right but the lock had malfunction and when I waved at the camera for about 15 minutes no one came I then proceeded to go out to the lobby and and no one to be found I then started saying hello and again no one to be found I then called the front desk which then someone came running up from I assume the downstairs and said they had never seen us waving this wasted about 15-20 minutes of our time which they said they would add on but we don’t believe it was as it finished only about 10 minutes after the hour mark but we started about 10 minutes late. Only a handful of clues made sense and the staff after the lock malfunction weren’t very helpful. If I could 0/5 stars I would.

We did the mineshaft room. Nearly solved it in under 1 hr 2 adults plus a 9 & 11yr old. Staff was good and explained things well. We had a reset as there was a key on the floor at the start that when used skipped half the puzzles. Staff noticed and reset us, no big deal. Puzzles and decor and equipment heavily worn out which made things a bit more difficult. Missing hints and sloppy finish work could have easily been fixed which would have made things better. $120 for the 4 of us seemed pricey, but overall was a decent time. We've done 6 or 7 escape rooms before in different locations...

Clues were well done, everything was used once and was well executed! Friendly staff and helpful with questions at the end. We were so happy to have done it just the 3 of us on time with very little help!

Great room, we took part in the Red Emerald Mine Escape. Good mix of some classic escape room puzzles and a fair amount of unique things to this room. We were a group of four, two newbies, and two experienced players. Finished in 49 minutes, with 11 minutes to spare. The room showed some wear from previous players, but I'd take that over something brand new looking and uninteresting.

We had an amazing time! My friends and I took my intellectually disabled brother to The Hangout, and the staff let us keep playing even though we ran out of time. We were really close to finishing, and they must have seen how excited he was! A huge huge huge kuddos for recognizing that - and letting him have his victory! We will definitely be back!

i bought a pass for the week during my business trip and i have to tell you that i'm really surprised and happy to have taken advantage of this YMCA as soon as it was set up. the equipment is in great condition and there's everything you need at the gym. it's not crowded in the morning and the people are really nice. for $35 (which is really cheap) i really enjoyed and appreciated the experience. i highly recommend this YMCA if you're in moncton and i'll be back for more on my next visit in december!

I wanted to share some feedback about a concerning experience I had at the Vaughan Harvey YMCA on June 10 around 7:30 PM. Since the regular women’s change room was out of order, I was directed to use the family change room. While I appreciated the alternative, I was uncomfortable to find several young boys and adult men walking around in only their underwear, despite the availability of private changing stalls. What made the situation more concerning was that I saw a staff member present in the family change room at the time, yet nothing was said to address the behavior. The idea that grown men can be undressed in a shared space also used by young girls is unsettling. If I were a parent, I wouldn’t feel safe allowing my child to use that space. When I called to express my concern, I was told that unless I had said something in the moment, there was nothing that could be done. While I understand there may be limitations, I believe member comfort and safety should be a priority — and at the very least, clear expectations for appropriate use of shared spaces should be communicated and enforced by staff. If the regular women’s room is unavailable in the future, I hope access to the women’s Plus change room or another private alternative can be offered. I don’t believe I should have to pay extra to feel comfortable and safe in a shared space — the women’s Plus change room should have been made available under these circumstances. Thank you for your time and consideration. I value the services the YMCA provides and hope steps can be taken to ensure all members feel safe, respected, and supported. Best regards, Gabrielle Hackett

I swim laps every week. I really appreciate the facilities, but it can be, at times, hard to focus while swimming. The lap swim times are used like public swims. At times, there are people/kids cutting across lanes. Life guards are generally good at addressing these issues. i believe it's a YMCA culture thing. I learned to navigate that and not to sweat the small things. My opportunity to use the gym is 7:30-8:30pm. It is loaded with teenagers/groups and hard to find available machines. Other times I went were very pleasant and less busy. My issues are also my joys. Im glad to see a very kid inclusive environment. Kids should be exposed to a active lifestyle. YMCA should keep doing what they are doing! 💪

I need to say a big thank you for Bernadette that helped me today to solve a miscommunication at Centennial pool! She was very helpful and informative and solve our problem very easy with a few phone calls. Some teenagers are very happy now as they will enjoy the pool for the whole summer!! Thanks Bernadette.

Always heard the song YMCA never knew it was an athletic Center. Amazing space, good pool, great classes! Most importantly good price! for couple and 2 weeks pass is 50$ after tax. that's so good!

came from a different YMCA, but because my home branch was closed the morning I came in, they wouldn't let me in without buying a $23 day pass. I travel for work and have never had this issue at any other YMCA. very unaccommodating and disinterested front desk staff. two stars, as they did let me use the restroom

Staff are always so helpful and informative, the cafe is so well priced with really delicious homemade food, and the facilities themselves are pristine! There's even a free library from the rotary club near the front desk if you're taking a break from working out but forgot to bring a magazine! One of my absolute favourite spots in Moncton, especially since it's only a couple of blocks away if you want to shop at the discount bulk food items store (I'll have to look at recent locations to remember the name, but it's cheaper than Costco on some things and doesn't require a membership, so it's a nice outdoor jog from this YMCA) before/during/after your visit.

They have a great program for swim lessons for kids. In person training, one-to-one. Kids loves the sessions and trainers.

Very nice CLEAN and spacious pool. Staff are very friendly and professional. One of Riverview's best amenities

Lessons here are great, very professional, they really help kids to develop skills not only to jump in the water. They care about technique

Great place for lap swimming. Water is nice and warm.

Great place to swim. Instructors are really good with the kids.

Great pool! It is so convenient and well maintained. Very friendly knowledgeable staff. Easy atmosphere. Love going there!

Took my daughter for swimming lessons during the summer and it was fantastic! Laura and Kathleen were wonderful with the kids and the facility was very clean, which was nice. Also, the water was a really nice temperature which helped with my fearful four year old.

Very friendly staff that are very easy to approach and are understandable. There’s plenty of parking, the laser tag room is decent, they have a bar at the back for adults then wants to have a drink while their kids are playing. Caution: The playing machines are quite old and are often broken or shutdown. Before spending any money, I would highly suggest that you first walk around and see what machines are working. I have had good and bad experiences at the location however the staff sure made it up positive for the bad experience we have had.

The games are fun but seem to break dow. But they were very good at fixing or refunding your coins. The laser tag is fun. We had a birthday party there last year and it was a great place for the kids, the service was great and the food was good as well

We had our son's 7 birthday party there and all the kids loved it! They got to play laser tag, arcade games and have pizza and cake in the party room. If they lost any tokens in the machines we would just let the staff know and they would give you ones to replace them. We would definitely have his party there again!

Waste of time and money... Some games where out of order and no one bothered to put up signs. Other kids told us they where broken after losing a token or 2 and had to tell employees. Also many games stopped releasing tickets and again had to retrieve staff to fix it. There were no prizes for 100-700 ticket range. Definitely not going back.

Had a blast here. Laser tag was great, the Netflix room was awesome, the older games were nostalgic, definitely a place for all ages! My only issue was that the machines didn't like taking the tokens and sometimes swallowed them.

Love going here with my son on slow afternoons. My only issue is that the machines he loves to play are usually broken down. Other than that, the prizes are decent and the working games are great. My son still wears his Pikachu trucker hat he got from the old location for 3000 tickets. We'll be back again and again!

The tokens for games are expensive. The prizes require too many tickets. $20 in tokens got us enough tickets to get a chocolate bar. The lazer tag was good. $5.99 a person, but $2.00 on Tuesdays. Not clean. I was a rat running through the arcade area.

15 Minutes After Getting Into The Water We Were Told To Get Out For A Half An Hour While They Cleaned Up A Mess. 5 Minutes After Being Allowed Back In I Had Noticed Someone Puked In It And Then We Were All Asked To Get Out Again. I Was Told It Is The 3rd Time People Have Been Told To Get Out Today (July 23rd, 2022)

Your website says open at 8 AM. I knew Canada Day would probably affect these hours however I thought perhaps it would open a little later. I arrived at 10 and was told it only opens at 11 because it is for the camp kids from 10 till 11. This should be stated on your website.

Fixes to pump take a full day, and when finally able to go (the following week) got a nice rash (can't say where) due to pool water. wife too. No lockers.

My experience at Centennial Park Pool was disappointing, to say the least. The management seems overly obsessed with enforcing a one-arm reach rule for kids aged 6 and under, regardless of their swimming abilities. As a result, I found myself constantly shadowing my kids, even though they are perfectly capable swimmers and clearly didn't need such close supervision. They also were wearing lifejackets (as an extra precaution) What made matters worse was Natasha, who repeatedly singled me out to remind me of this rule, despite other parents clearly not being held to the same stringent standard. It felt like unnecessary micromanagement and left a sour taste in my mouth. While I understand the need for safety rules, they should be reasonable and take into account the individual abilities of the children. This rigid one-size-fits-all approach just doesn't work and detracts from what should be a fun and enjoyable experience for families. Needless to say, I won't be returning to Centennial Park Pool. They need to rethink their policies if they want to create a welcoming environment for families who actually want to enjoy their time together without feeling constantly policed.

Huge pool. Wasn't the cleanest though. Chairs to sit. Umbrellas and tables to shield from sun. Entry fee is $5 for adults. $3 for kids. Age 3 and under free. Family pass is $13.

Visually it's very appealing. It is also new so the facilities and overall area are well kept. It might just be me but the idea of so many children peeing in a pool of that size is just gross but if you love outdoor public pools this is a great one. It actually reaches over 5ft in depth in some areas. If you're like me and are a total germaphobe, don't torture your psyche and enter the cesspool of secretions... ;-)

(Writing this review a few months late as I had last visited in the late summer.) While going to centennial pool I had an absolutely horrid time. This was a combination of those little rascal kids running around, and causing havoc. I was half scared to death and feared for mine, and my son Juan's life. The water splashed around outside of the pool(and it was very slippery!) I was mortified by the life guards not watching or blowing the whistle!!!! Im still in an outrage about that. My stay at the centennial pool was almost called to an end when I was feeling a bit hangry, I went to the concession stand looking for a quick bite. I was met by a very warm welcome from a young cashier named Addison and she helped me satisfy all of my cravings (as I am pregnant) I left centennial pool to never come back for the pool, but instead for the wonderful young cashier in Addison( what a darling she was). I suggest giving Addison a raise next summer!!!!

Good place to walk or ride a bike! It's too close to downtown so sometimes you have to deal with the homeless but it's not a big deal, just something to take attention.

This place has a long trail along the riverfront from Dieppe to Riverview, you can ride your bikes and long boards etc. The landscaping is always well kept and you can setup a picnic and bring your dogs out. There's always events there in the summer with vendors, food and live music. There are paid parking nearby when the street parking's are taken. There is also a skate park next to the memorial which is also nice.

I always love to walk this park any time of the day. Perfect place to see July 1st fire works. Snowbirds and other events happening around Moncton. Plenty of places to sit. And River views with tide. Summer full of events. One thing less is washrooms. There was one long time ago. But now only during events. There are information about old Moncton. And nature. You can ride bicycles. And open 24 hours.

It is a peaceful place for a walk, and there are seating areas available. There are many different cafes, some even featuring live music. Picnic tables are also available. Additionally, there are several stands displaying paintings by artists.

Beautiful place, nicely manicured gardens, fantastic event space. If there's ever any events going on, I highly recommend a visit. It's so nice to see the city taking good care of this fantastic outdoor meeting space. Popular spot also for biking and jogging.

Canada day review 1-7-2022 It was a great day to gather with family and friends and enjoy all the activities and entertainment related to Canada day celebration. Kids had good spots to play such as bouncy castle, trampoline and face painting with some nice magic tricks show. I hope next year they increase the activities as it was only one bouncy castle for thousands of kids. Food stalls were “overpriced” maybe due to the crowd and celebration, and you had stand in a long line to make an order, food quality wasn’t good compared to what we had to pay. Live entertainment band was amazing all the folks enjoyed it and was second to none. Fireworks was really great and it deserves to wait till 10pm to watch it. Overall experience we enjoyed spending the day there, and highly recommend to celebrate Next Canada day at Riverfront, if it will be held there.

Great place to spend evening for long walks. Big place to explore the events. Music festival during summers, food and drink stalls. Good experience..

The space is nice. My toddler enjoyed running and playing. The staff is horrible. We weren't greeted, girl at front just asked my son's age. And said "okay, just go play" never said a word after that. She was on her cellphone the entire time we were there. Then her kids came in and just helped themselves to snacks at the cafe. Even when we were leaving she didn't even say goodbye or have a nice day. We were not even acknowledged. Probably won't go back, I'm glad my son was free.

My kids like it there. Good place to go to relax while the kids play while you can see them. Got to admit went abit down hill since it first opened. Ball pit isn't so much a ball pit anymore. Also can be pricy when bringing the 4 kids for not as much to do.

Great place to bring your kids. I did not give it a 5 because the owner takes bo responsibility for the children also there is room for improvement in the food service and the play area. Once the owner has made enough money they should expand

When we were there with my three year old, I found it was too crowded and a lot of the toys were the same as home. Older kids were being brats to my son and I didn't enjoy it. But the place looks great.

Beautiful place for kids my grandson has a blast everytime we go there

We love it here! Great food, great staff and my toddler has SO MUCH fun!

The kids loved it here! So much fun. We let the kids socialize and had a delicious coffee ☕
