Visited the winery with some friends visiting the area. Derek toured us through their selections. While we only found a few white wines we were interested in, it was an hour well-spent, and nice to support a local business.
Their vineyards are immaculately kept.
The only downside was seeing the same bottles in the liquor store at a lower price than at the winery. I guess we paid more for the experience.
I will continue to drink the two (River Mist & Serenity) I discovered during my visit.
Darren Eaton — Google review
It was very informative and our guide was very nice. They went above and beyond any other vineyard I've visited to find wine, during the tasting, that pleased everyone.(which was not easy in our group) Very enjoyable experience!!! If you love visiting vineyards, this one is a must!!
Rhonda Johnson — Google review
This is a MUST stop visit! This is a big winery with the small family feel, they have a rich history of the land before and after it became a winery. For the wines they are deeply rich in flavour but if you need proof look no further than the wine diamonds! I highly recommend taking a tour for a one on one experience of their process. High quality experience very fair prices.

We did a wine tasting with Derek when we visited here. It was a very pleasant experience and he was very knowledgeable about all the wines (he makes them himself). We loved the Frontenac and their port. This place is a hidden gem in NB and would recommend to anyone! We will definitely be back.

Absolutely wonderful experience with Derek Hudson. My hubby purchased lol 4 bottles 1 white and 3 red then decided to buy a bottle of there vodka to try 🍷🥰😜🤪😋🫠
We stopped in here just because it was open and ended up being totally enamored with this little county museum and it's story. Our museum guide Janet was super helpful and very informative.
This place is an open air type of museum and does require a bit of walking around. But considering all the little details that have gone into every space of the buildings that is a wonderful way to spend the day.
The buildings are all the original ones (save the courthouse which burned down and was rebuilt in 1904) on the original foundations. Generally this is pretty rare as most buildings in museums like this have been relocated so it adds a little bit more shine to this place. There are washrooms available for public use and detailed story telling everywhere! They have some special rooms dedicated to a former Prime Minister from the county and a former prisoner who may or may not have committed a grievous crime (you'll have to decide!)
The real star of thise show is the gaol (jail) house in which they kept debtors and Tom Collins. While undergoing a restoration they discovered etchings in the walls, pen marks, and overall graffiti from all the former inmates they held. A very cool experience they have preserved with plexiglass.
Definitely stop by and have a look. Oh and this museum was once a stop for The Amazing Race Canada so if you're lucky? They'll let you hold the sign.

A very cool place to stop by and visit on your way to or way back from Hopewell rocks. Lots of history and a feeling of transportation to another time. People who work there are very warm and friendly!

It's a village type of museum. There's not a lot walking, and could easily be done in a few hours. I would have loved more interactions between the people inside the different buildings. Another thing, there was one building we couldn't enter because we had to pay extra. It kind of sucks when you pay an entrance fee and then you have to pay more for a building. This has soooooo much potential for more visitors.

Had a good time visiting and learning here today. It was sad that not every aspect of the museum was available due to COVID-19 but what we were able to see was neat. We even learned something new about New Brunswick history. For $10 entry/each it was a neat way to spend an hour or so and learn some New Brunswick history and take some tacky tourist pictures!

Got married here and everything was perfect. The staff are incredible and went way above and beyond to make our day special.
So happy we did the Baymount Outdoor Adventure kayaking at Hoepwell Rocks a few weeks ago. My 12yr old, husband and I went out at high tide and the tour did not disappoint. Weather was a bit overcast but warm....the water was warmer then I thought it would be. We were warned that waves were about 3ft before we went out but it was no problem for the tandem kayaks. Guides were very knowledgeable, interactive and fun. Probably the best experience out of our 2 week road trip to the East Coast. Would do it again in a heartbeat! Was also fun to go back the next morning and walk on the ocean floor where we had just been kayaking....huge difference in the experience.
Rich Maas — Google review
I took the mid-tide excursion since it was the only one that fit my schedule. Unfortunately you don’t paddle between the rocks on this trip since the tide has already started to recede but you do get a beautiful view from the water of all of the coves and rock formations.
The kayaks are all doubles and I was alone and so I was paired up with a stranger who had no paddling experience at all. Consequently I worked hard paddling, steering, trying to listen to the info that the guides were giving and taking pictures. That was a real disappointment for me. I was hoping to be with a guide since I have a lot of kayaking experience but that didn’t happen.
The staff were very helpful and pleasant (mostly students) and I would like to make a special shout out to Sara who was particularly cheerful, attentive and concerned about everyone.
All in all, it was a nice outing and we had a beautiful day!

This is the way to see Hopewell Rocks!!! A super well organized company, very friendly and informative staff. They make you feel very confident heading out into the waters on your kayak and share lots of great information about the natural phenomenon. Besides all of those things, this is such a beautiful way to experience the wonders of nature. I would do this experience over and over again! My sister and I did the high tide tour and I would love to try the night time tour also! Thanks Shawn and crew for such an incredible experience.

A must do adventure!
Hopewell Cape is a must see place to visit. We went at low tide and waited till high tide to enjoy our kayaking tour. Jack was one of our great tour guides. All were very experienced, put everyone at ease and taught some history lessons along the way. You do not have to be an experienced kayaker to enjoy.
Highly recommend, this is an A+ type adventure 😀

What a wonderful experience!! The staff are super friendly and very knowledgeable. The have several guides that help everybody and they are ready to respond for emergencies. I did not have any kayak experience and I felt very safe the whole time. They are not in a rush and let you stop and take pictures. You don't want to miss this experience. It is really amazing. Thank you so much again to my guide and to the rest of the staff.

My husband and I were visiting Hopewell Rocks in June and thought a kayak trip around the rocks would be fun. Unfortunately we couldn’t get into the high tide tour so we did a mid tide tour. We were the only ones with two guides. Luckily we got to kayak through and around the rocks before the tide was too low. Guides were excellent and informative. Wishing we could have kayaked alittle longer but was a good experience.
Owners of Baymount were very friendly and helpful and their young son was such a sweetie walking with me down to the water and getting me stuck in the mud!
Would recommend this kayak experience!

Loved the humour of the guides! They were all very knowledgeable and guided us through some pretty awesome spots. Myself and my 10 year old daughter went and I felt very safe at all times. It was a highlight of hour trip to the Rocks for sure. I highly recommend this tour.

So much fun!
It's been years since I went kayaking but it was easy to pick up again and the route you take isn't challenging. Lot's of photo opportunity and even wildlife too! Pictures of the birds was easy, pictures of the porpoise not so much. Cool to be joined by the porpoise though, didnt expect that at all.
Coming back and seeing how much the tide level had changed too was awesome.
Would definitely recommend this, even for the local folk (like me) who dont usually do the tourist things.

What an amazing experience. We had booked our excursion for Monday but due to high winds we had to cancel. Very disappointing but they worked with our schedule and fit us in Saturday morning before returning to Ontario. We it was well worth the wait. Yes it was a workout but so much fun. The guides were great and shared so much knowledge. Next summer we will definitely be back.

This is the perfect way to see Hopewell Rocks and experience the Bay of Fundy tides! Baymount is a busy, well-organized operation (4-6 tours a day) staffed with friendly guides who really seem to enjoy the job and each other. The equipment is top-notch and well-maintained. Joel's humorous spiel during the safety briefing kept our attention. (Sara & Ethan were also great.) There are 3 or 4 guides per tour group, so you felt secure even in rough waters or tight squeezes. The informative guides previewed difficult areas, and explained tides, erosion, place names, etc with well-rehearsed, captivating stories and jokes. Be sure and take your phone for photos -- you can store it in your equipment while kayaking.
We hiked the ocean floor in the morning, left the park to go to Wacky Wonderful Waffles in Hillsborough for lunch, then returned for the high tide kayak. (Park admission is good for 2 days to make sure you can see high and low tide.) Highly recommend!
Kelly Gilchrist — Google review
This was a really fun evening and a great way to experience Hopewell Rocks.
The guide was great and very knowledgeable about the area, and offered some fun trivia too. Paddling through the arches was very cool, then revisiting at low tide the next day to compare was mind boggling!
I would have liked the option of a spray skirt to stay dryer.
If you go in the evening in the summer ask for bug spray as soon as you get there!!! Listen! Don’t wait.

An absolute highlight of Hopewell Cove was this warm, professional kayak tour with Joel and the team. Charming, informative, hilarious, engaging; every member of the staff. Respectful to each other, enthusiastic about the wildlife, safety conscious.. I could go on. Not a single negative. Would go back in a heartbeat. Hope you enjoy it as much as we (2 older broads from Montreal;) did.

I had the most incredible time kayaking through the rocks with Baymount Outdoor Adventures. The high tide kayak as the tide dropped was so unique. The best part was returning back to where we launched and having to stop earlier to get out and walk back because the tide had dropped by 13 feet in 2 hours. Highly recommend this tour and the amazing staff here ✨

If you are a Kayaker, or someone who physically can get into a Kayak and paddle, this is the absolute best way to see the Hopewell Rocks during high tide. The owner Shaun and Ashley Gibbs, are beyond enthusiastic about what they do, and make sure everyone in the group has an amazing time. The local knowledge they and their guides provide while on the tour are worth the cost alone. We can't say enough about how positive the experience was. And, their equipment is top notch, with each person receiving clean and dry safety equipment. Also, they are located inside of the Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park.

We really enjoyed this experience. Mat, Mat, Mat and Maddie were very informative, funny, helpful, and friendly. We went during High Tide. We were able to kayak under rocks that we just walked under earlier that day. I would recommend going on the earlier high tide tours as the water was already receding and we were unable to go under as many rock formations as we could have. The guides told us about different rock formations and the names of lots of rocks. I enjoyed learning about the different rocks as we came back the next day to look at them longer. I would also recommend bring a phone waterproof bag so you can take pictures. They provide you with a wet bag for things you want to take with you and also a locker from things that can stay in land. The kayaking was very easy and more like a tour. It was easy to keep up with everyone. There was a guide for the people in the front and for those in the back. The guides made sure no one missed any information.

Great experience exploring the high tide on kayaks, along with a very educational entertainment by our guides. Not physically exerting and slow leisure pace for the ~1.5 hours on water. Lots of mosquitos along the waiting area, bring bug spray and a hat!
Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park, also known as Flowerpot Rocks due to its natural pinnacles and arches, is a coastal park located in Hopewell Cape within the Bay of Fundy. The rocks have been eroded into twisted shapes by the sea and are an other-worldly sight to behold. At low tide, a two-kilometre beach appears on what was once the ocean floor, providing easy access to the 20 wave-formed stacks via a wheelchair-accessible ramp.
The are breathtaking.
We arrived around 1 and the tide was still out. We didn’t mind, but it would have been nice to see how far out it goes so if you want to do that then plan accordingly. The walk to the rocks is about 10 minutes depending how fast you walk(might be about 15 if you’re a bit slower). It is a little bit of an uphill walk back up. We stayed around and ate at the cafe while we waited for high tide at 4:30. It seems like a fair amount of time to stay at the rocks.
Highly recommend!

You do not need to book tickets in advance like Tobermory!!!
There is a huge parking lot available free of cost.
Approximately 35 dollars to get it and if you want the shuttle it's 2 dollars per person one way.
It's a steep descent and the shuttle is highly recommended for older people or for those with disabilities.
The shuttle runs every 5 minutes and is a lovely joyride.
The park is well setup with trails and off course the rocks.
They have bathrooms and a very nice gift shop on location.
There is also a museum in the main building where you can learn all about Hopewell Rocks.
The rocks themselves are a great experience where you can walk on the ocean floor during low tide and come back later during high tide to see water gushing all over where you were during low tide.
Fantastic picture spot and I sure did go crazy clicking away.
It's a lot of stairs down though to the ocean floor - so be prepared.
They do have vantage points in case you cannot use the stairs.
I believe there is both a low and high tide everyday.
Nigel Peters — Google review
Very cool experience in NB about 45 minutes from Moncton. It was interesting to walk on the ocean floor and then see the tide rise and make such a difference in 10 minutes!
We arrived at around 10am in July when the low tide was around 8am. Even then the tide was quite far out from all the rocks and we leisurely explored for over 2 hours. The high tide was around 2pm but at noon there was still lots of time to explore the floor.
I suggest you wear either sandals or waterproof shoes as it does get quite muddy in areas. I wore sneakers and they did get dirty but there’s a large shoe cleaning area at the top of the stairs to help everyone wash off.
Parking is abundant with one of the largest parking lots of maritime attractions. There is also quite a large gift shop and exhibit in the building just past the gates. All the staff was very friendly and was more than happy to answer your questions and talk about the ecosystem that you’re walking through.
The site is pet friendly and also very accessible. There are mandatory metal stairs to the ocean floor but there are multiple view points for people with mobility issues.
This is a must see attraction in the province! Even at around $16 per person (+$2 for a shuttle to skip a 15 minute walk) I would say it was a very cool experience

Visited during low tide the day after a new moon. 🌑 Incredible landscape. I’m from Oregon and found myself in awe of how similar yet different the landscape was. So many rocks! Watch out for the mud and check the tides. Despite the official website warning visitors that the park is closed in the offseason, you can visit.

Beautiful place.. but when going, make sure you know when the tides are in and out, the first time we went it was high, we weren't allowed to go down . We took our receipt back and we were able to go down the next morning. I recommend that you pay the 2$ or use a token to use the shuttle.
Mornings are best.. have fun
Stephanie Dawn — Google review
Exceptional natural beauty. Absolutely recommended. Visit at low tide if you want to walk between the rocks. Check their website for tide tables.
We walked down to the Flower Pot. The trail there is about 1 km and has a gentle slope that should be doable for most people. From the platform you can take a staircase with a few flights of steps down to the beach itself.
Once at the beach, I recommend first walking to the right until the end, which is a few hundred yards over stones or slightly muddy patches, then walking back, continuing past the staircase and walking to the far left end of the beach where a ramp takes you back up to the trail. This way you will see all the rocks.
Given the soil, I recommend wearing walking shoes or Wellington boots.
If you prefer not to walk, there is a paying shuttle service from the park entrance down to the viewing platforms. A one-way trip costs 2 CA$ per person and toddlers are free.
People in wheelchairs can ask the park attendants to get access to the parking near the beach. Getting down to the beach itself is possible via a wheelchair accessible ramp (the same one as described higher) but riding a wheelchair on the beach itself will probably not be possible.

This was pretty cool to see, make sure to arrive at or near low tide as this is the best time to be able to walk around and appreciate how far the tide is out, very interesting to see. As the tide comes in the staff start to close off areas of the beach that are starting to flood. we watched for a while and then came back latter when the tide was all the way in, A great way to see the extremes. There is a shuttle of sorts if you want to take it bring cash. Gift store etc., bathrooms, nice walk to the staircase going down to the sea shore. Highly recommend 2-4 hours

Very much a must do if you are in the area..even if its raining. Just remember to come at low tide. Picnic areas and restroom in the parking lot. Good food in the cafeteria. Really nice staff. On a sunny day the $2 per person shuttle may be worth it on the way back, but in the rain it was very much welcomed both ways. Memories will be made here and are a requirement.

Hopewell Rocks is a cherished destination for me and my furry friend. The descent down the trails is smooth, thanks to their excellent maintenance, allowing us to savor every moment of the journey. Arriving at the bottom, we're greeted by the awe-inspiring sight of the Bay of Fundy's iconic rock formations. From the lookout points, we're treated to panoramic views that never fail to captivate. It's a haven where nature's beauty shines, making each visit a treasured memory to hold onto.

The canteen/cafeteria is also good and reasonably priced.

This is totally worth every dollar to go! The view is amazing and even though it is busy there are more than enough opportunities to take fantastic photos. The hike / walk down to the rocks takes about 15 minutes and there is a shuttle that takes your down to the top of the stairs. You still have to take the 99 stairs down to the bottom! There is another area that does have a ramp to go down. At the rocks you will need to walk. Wear shoes you don’t mind getting muddy! Pets are allowed and no extra cost. There is an additional coat for the shuttle. It is $2 per person per trip and dogs are allowed on the shuttle. The line up to get in goes quick! Make sure you check the tide schedule before you go. We went August 2, 2022 from 10:30 am till 12 pm.

There's free parking. The park has these walking trails. You got to pay the admission fee to get in. There's a shuttle buses service to get to the part where you're able to walk down the stairs I assume. There are toilets along the trail pathways.
Depending on when you go, they have different opening and closing times. We went in the earlier dates so the times were from 9 am to 5 pm. You can still enter the park even after the 5 pm closing time. You don't need to pay. And there is still parking available outside of the gates. But, you may not be able to walk the ocean floor, or have enough time to enjoy your walk of the ocean floor (and to take lots of photos).
Pretty looking rocks at high tide. Nice scenery. There are multiple lookouts to see the rocks and the nearby scenery.
3:00/3:30 pm for the day that we went, we walkes on the ocean floor. And we took many photos of the Flower Pot Rocks. We took photos of the other rocks, whose names I don't remember. We walked back and forth on the ocean floor, over rocks, through mud, and through watery mud.
It's recommended to bring and wear boots, like those rain boots, hiking boots, winter boots.

Great park. Fair entry valid for a couple days so you can experience both high and low tides.
The main hub area has play modules for kids. It's well maintained.
Gift shop and washrooms also available.
If you're going down to the Flower Pot Rocks, I'd recommend wearing shoes you don't care to dirty as they'll likely get mud on them. If they do, they have hoses and scrubs to clean your shoes at the top of the stairs.
Breathtaking views.

I loved everything about it! Admittedly seeing the extreme tidal change at the Bay of Fundy has been on my bucket list for a long time, finally getting to experience it did not disappoint. I definitely recommend the guided sea kayaking tour at high tide, but be sure to experience the difference at low tide either before or after, it's amazing!

Amazing day. Sun is out nice breeze blowing. Highly recommend this stop if in the area. The tide was going out, so there was a lot of mud but so worth going for a walk and seeing the shoreline. We spent 2.5 hours here before we knew it. I suggest going early to avoid crowds.

Hopewell Rocks offers breathtaking views, allowing you to witness the mesmerizing tides ebb and flow—a truly awe-inspiring display of nature's power. The sheer volume of water is a sight to behold. Keep in mind, though, that booking kayaks in advance is crucial to fully explore this remarkable coastal gem. Despite missing out on that, the stunning vistas alone make it a worthwhile destination for any nature enthusiast.

Absolutely amazing! The hike down was marked well. They offer a shuttle if you can't walk the 10 minute hike to the staircase. Your ticket is good for 2 days and you can come and go as many times as you would like. The walk along the beach/ocean floor was picture perfect. Wish I could have seen it at high tide as well.

It's super muddy when you go at low tide so wear old shoes or sandals. There is beautiful trails with lots of plants and fungus to see. You can also shuttle to and from the top. At the entrance to the experience there is a gift shop and tiny educational museum. We had a great experience.

Beautiful park, well worth a visit. Walk the bay floor at low tide . Experience the bay of Fundy up close. Check tide schedule before heading out to make sure you arrive at the right time. Ticket is valid for 2 days so you can experience it during low and high tide. Hike down to the bay or pay extra and take to golf cart ( great option for those with mobility issues or tight timelines) $2 each way for the cart . To get to the bottom completely there are several sets of stairs ,there is a viewing platform for those you cant make the trek down . There is also a more accessible beach down the way but doesn't have all the interesting rock formations. Pay attention to the times of tides , if you get stranded your rescue will cost you a pretty penny. Restaurant and nice gift shop with a kids playground located at the top near the parking lots. Lots of bathrooms along the way. Good boots recommended as it's get muddy walking around . Boot cleaning station available.

An incredible few hours spend here witnessing the lowest part of the tide, to start, with the gorgeous sunshine and gentle breeze… plus getting covered in mud, but that’s all part of the fun and adventure. Don’t go wearing your best shoes and clothes if you want to walk on the ocean floor.
We stayed long enough to then with was the high tide coming in until it reached its maximum, what a dramatic effect and difference it is, completely changing the landscape, it’s incredible and makes for some stunning pictures.
Be sure to check out the view points for gorgeous as well as the tranquil Plage de Demoiselles Beach.

Bore View Park is a charming park located along the Peticodiac River, offering benches and a balcony where visitors can enjoy views of the tidal bore. The park features informative historical displays throughout its lovely green space. Although the timing of the tide was slightly off during one visit, Bore View Park remains a popular spot to view this natural phenomenon. As part of a larger river park system, it offers an enjoyable setting for admiring scenic vistas and observing the tidal bore.
Very nice urban park. Visitors Center very close by. Excellent viewing location to watch the Tidal Bore roll past.

Great place in the city to watch the “rapids” with great foot path all along the trail. We went at high tide and the waters were quite high and so were the winds. We didn’t get to see the rapids where you could actually surf on but the currents were strong. Definitely not a place to fall in during high tides. Nature really is magical.

What a disappointment to drive from NYS to New Brunswick to see a ripple in a river, the 6th wonder of nature?
The flowerpot rocks were cool, though. And we found excellent seafood in St. John, NB that we would have missed had we not gone there.

Went to view the tidal bore. It was cooler than I was expecting, with a rush of waves suddenly coming around the bend turning the river in the opposite direction. It was also 45 minutes earlier than the posted time. Free 1 hr visitor parking at the Visitor Centre next door.

Went 30 min early as other people reviewed their tide bores were early. There was a guide from the info centre right beside it giving free info in English and French to the entire group of people. The tidal bore arrived a few minutes late. Restrooms available in the info centre

Staff are super friendly and free coffee and soda pops in a machine, self serve. I liked how in the back there is RV parking and being a vanlifer it's a sweet set up. The staff are chill.and very helpful when I was asking about the parking overnight deal. Made it so much less stress after driving and being able to swing by , play the tables and machines then head out back to my little home on wheels.
Thanks for the hospitality.

Great room, comfortable, and bathroom was very nice. Would stay again. Located near the Trans Canada, so you can hear vehicles all night if you're not used to the city. However very easy to get in and out of, location wise.

Awesome first time adventure with my son. We will return!!
We both thought the service in the Pub was lacking. It was slow to get seated, even though 1/3 of the seating was empty. Our table wasn't even cleaned off when we're seated. When we saw the menu and the pricing we opted for fast food when we left.

Buffet price has gone up significantly vs a few years ago. Current members price was $24 vs $15 last time I went. Selection was also a bit lower than previously as well. Service was excellent (much better than previous visit) . Overall I would still recommend it.

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.
Weve 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.

Great service at the hotel check in today. The employee informed us that since we were booking a suite for two nights we could take advantage of the extreme players package. This discounted out rooms and offered $200 in free play at the casino. It was nice of him to let us know. We had no idea. We will definitely do this again.

Our room was cleaned once during our 4 night stay.
The checkin staff refused to even entertain checking us in early, citing that our room wasn’t ready at 3pm. He was very rude and condescending. Yet the cleaning staff informed us they stopped cleaning at 2pm and all rooms were ready.
The pool and spa conveniently closed the first day of the YQM festival and reopened the day it ended.
They hyped up the amazing shower in the king suites, that was a major disappointment. It was a large shower that was narrow, without shelves and just had 1 single shower head.
The lighting in the room was absolutely terrible.
The staff in the bar/casino area were lovely.
Overall the experience was underwhelming and definitely not worth the money paid to stay there.

Was there many time but mostly for concerts the venue is awesome and big but my only issues are that if I paid to see a band and I have to sit I don't want to have security standing in front of me so I can't see the show thats not what I paid for also your pop prices need to be lower considering your only using cans of pop to fill cups. Also the buffet is absolutely wonderful 😋

The buffet host with blonde hair has the LEAST welcoming vibe in the history of restaurants. If she's trying to do an impression of someone who hates her life then someone should let her know that we get it already. LADY, why do you hate every restaurant customer? People are afraid to ask you a question because of your overall demeanor. CHANGE your attitude and stop being such a stuck up RESTAURANT MANAGER and ruining people's dinner.

Buffet is not the greatest but that is all you have to compare it with locally I guess it's ok a bit pricey for what they have to offer. The main course was pork belly.
Magnetic Hill Zoo, situated approximately 15 minutes away from Moncton city, is a vast wildlife park that houses over 400 domestic and exotic animals. It also boasts a towering playground, barnyard, and pony rides for visitors to enjoy. The zoo is the largest of its kind in Atlantic Canada and was named fourth on Canada's top ten zoos list in 2008.
The zoo is absolutely beautiful and such a lovely big space to walk around! The playground is amazing for kids as well. All the animals seem very well taken of 😊

We go to the Wild Lights display annually and it is always a magical time for the whole family. Our daughter (8) and her best friend have a blast. This year was a significant improvement from last - more lights, better maintained (last year a lot were out), and we loved the musical light display at the barn area. We were also glad to see some animals were NOT out - specifically last year the panther was out and was visibly distressed being directly across from a loud music and moving light display. We also stop for a Beaver Tail - and was pleased to see the dining area well spaced out and sanitizing wipes available to clean tables. However the lines we congested without adequate space for distancing. Also noticed a lot of dropped masks and some refuse in the walkways.
Wins - Light displays, affordability, playground, food and drink options, clean bathrooms, clear marking for walking and directions, and full evening of enjoyment.

Our first date was at the Magnetic Hill Zoo and we make an annual visit on each NYE. This year was one of the better visits for sure as tons of new lights and even the barn lights were sync'd to the music. It makes a perfect date location and so much fun to see all the lights!

It's been years since I've been to the zoo but decided to take my kids here for an afternoon. We went in October so there were some cute pumpkin/photo ops and some interesting exhibits and enclosures. The petting zoo was fun to feed the deer and goats as well and I'm so happy they finally have it fenced in rather than letting all the animals roam free like before. All that being said, the prices here were insane. 3 adults and 2 children for $64 and to top it off, they don't even provide you a map of the grounds. We were asked if we wanted to buy a map to help with "conservation". We exited through the gift shop and the prices there were equally as wild (excuse the pun). I was also a bit disappointed none of the food vendors were opened but perhaps because it's the off-season it wasn't available. Overall it was a fun afternoon for the kids but nowhere we'll be back to anytime soon due to the cost.

I recently visited this zoo, and I was thoroughly impressed by the wide variety of animals they have on display. From majestic lions to playful otters and everything in between, it's a diverse collection that caters to all animal enthusiasts.
What stood out even more was the impeccable cleanliness and well-maintained enclosures. The animals appeared healthy and content. The zoo's commitment to conservation and education was evident in their informative exhibits and interactive programs. It's a perfect family-friendly destination that provides a memorable and educational experience for visitors of all ages.
Went back again after the winter. I might just keep coming back.

It was interesting that the Magnetic Hill has a zoo. The price was quite surprisingly cheap ($9 for adults) and even cheaper for kids. We came early May during off season and there was no waiting time. The animal selection is just ok compared to other zoo I've been to, but it was still fun. The zoo was quite clean and well-maintained. It takes about an hour to an hour and half for us to see everything. The otters and goats were particularly cute.

This was our first visit here. was very pleased. prices are good.ànd lots of different animals to look at.
with there were more monkeysbas they are my favorite. and we went fist thing in the morning which was great for crowd wise but I think they animals would be more active later in the day. they were pretty lazy in the morning beside the otters.
also would be nice it the feeding times were posted somewhere for us to see.
the gift shops were very nice lots to choose from.
also don't forget to bring some change for the couple of spot you can feed a few of the different animals. they also do pony rides for kids 12 and under inthink it was $7.00

It was ok, I visited zoo where animals seemed more happy, had a better place to evolve, more space. The pumas just walked along the same path, so did the wolf, left me a bit sad. It make me think of the prisoner who walk the same path every day. I think it's the fence, there's too much of it. The Halloween decorations was top notches.

One hour fun for kids to roam inside watching animals seemed to be tired always. We see few play areas for kids and here and there bottled can vending machines and shops with snacks and drinks. We missed the water splash and dry games within the same area, soon next time! One day trip will be more fun ❤️

Although we only had a chance to view the Africa area, we were impressed with the animals and the facilities. The parking was ok, we were lucky to find a spot around noontime.

Magic Mountain SplashZone is a small-scale water park located in Moncton, New Brunswick. It offers a variety of attractions such as slides, pools, tubing, mini-golf and an arcade. The park also features food options and a gift shop for visitors to enjoy. The friendly staff ensures that the park is family-friendly with plenty of lifeguards stationed at the splash zone.
With no big line ups and wait times, the kids really had a blast running through all the slides as many times as they could.
The Lazy River gave us some time to relax and regroup in between the slides and wave pool. We found our favorite fries as well, so good!
Summer isn't summer without a trip to Magic Mountain.

👍 Fun wave pool, good slides, nice and clean, plenty of parking, can bring your packed lunch and snacks, a great family day.
👎the concrete walkways are really rough, there's got to be something that could improve those. Even with pre-paid tickets the entrance lines are pretty slow. A few more shade zones would be nice to escape sun when you need a little break from it. The timing between sliders on some slides seems unnecessarily long.

Great for kids and family. Newer water park. Offers food and entertainment. This water park is very clean and well staffed. Besides the water slides there is a lazy river and a concession bar. Lounge chairs are everywhere and plentiful.
Bruce Mitton — Google review
The kids had an absolute blast!! I think the price was well worth it. The life guards do an excellent job monitoring everyone's safety and take their jobs seriously, which I really appreciate!
The reason for the 3 star was that the main ladies bathroom was disgraceful, just filthy. There is absolutely no reason it should ever be like that. Also, the lines to get food were quite excessive. In my opinion, on busier days it should be managed better to get the food out more quickly.... but bring your own food and snacks, and go to the bathroom further away and all issues are resolved!
Definitely worth going! We will definitely be back!!

Never had a problem with parking.
Thinking ahead, we brought our heavy duty wagon along for ease in carrying our many supplies. We brought our own snacks and many different drinks (no alcohol allowed which was fine with our entourage).
Tickets were bought ahead online which helped us to avoid on site lineups for those paying at the gates.
Had no problems with any of the many water sites.
My lovely wife, Pat and I enjoyed four trips down the "Lazy River". Never much of a lineup, especially closer to the closing time of 7pm.
Wave pool was exciting. They have an alarm system which lets every user know when to expect the giant waves to start before the pool rests once again.
Everyone had a fantastic time. Rain was forecast but fate was kind and we saw no rain from when we entered around 1pm until Splash Zone's closing at 7pm.
Well worth the visit.
We could see what appeared to be rain clouds off in the distance up beyond the hillside where a local winery peers down upon this fantastic park.
All attendees were extremely outgoing and professional.
All areas were clean at the beginning of the day. We could see the cleanup process begining, once again, as we were leaving upon closing time.
During our stay it was refreshing to see life guards at every water playsite.
It was smart that we brought our own sun umbrella since every on site umbrella had been taken. Worth thinking about for protection from the sun's hot and burning rays.
It was entertaining seeing the many critters coming out as most all people had left. A few seagulls, black birds and a squirrel could be seen pecking at various morsels of food.

This place is awesome although being small scale theme park. We had a blast here and would definitely come back. Highly recommended to stop by if you're passing by Moncton New Brunswick. The staff are friendly and they have a lot of life guards at the splash zone. Family friendly. Although they can improve the rental on the rafts with time limit instead of full day rental that guests tends to abuse and not returning them at all until end of day. The bumper boat is so much! Slides are awesome. Kamikaze is the slide to try! The view is breath-taking at most times. Go to the top of the hill and you will see the great view of the park.

When the weather is promising, it’s the time to take your kids to a world of fun and entertainment.
It worth to buy the full day access for the 4 zones, you can do two zones in one day and come back to do the remaining 2 zones at any other day.
Splash zone is great for all the family to have fun and enjoy.
Fun zone is really good for kids, and the staff there are very friendly and accommodating.
Highly recommended.

The splash zone was sold out by noon and that's on Thursday so I'd suggest to buy passes online in advance. Waiting time for slides was about 25 minutes which is way too long, the wave pool was not too bad. Overall the average jam-packed waterpark, nothing outstanding but nothing to complain about either.

We went to magnetic hill park to experience magnetic hill. When we got to the hill itself, it was an absolute cluster F of vehicles going in all directions. They tell you to move over to the left lane beside the white post. Vehicles were trying to exit in the same lane. While we were waiting our turn, the guy in front of us got out of his vehicle and started yelling at us to put our vehicle in neutral and start rolling backwards even though it wasn’t our turn. Once we had our turn, it wasn’t what it’s cracked up to be - in our opinion. You’re rolling backwards down a slight grade to gain momentum to go upgrade? We got frustrated and left.
If anyone from the park Is reading this review, please take note that there needs to be staff coordinating traffic in this area or more signage in place in the area to direct people in lanes and where to wait their turn. As someone else stated in their review, it’s only a matter of time before there’s a fender bender.
I’m sure the rest of the park is a great attraction, but until this park sorts out this traffic coordination issue, don’t waste your money and time on this.

Kayak Fundy offers an exciting adventure through the stunning landscapes of Fundy National Park and the Bay of Fundy. Paddle along cliffs, explore sea caves, and relax on hidden beaches while taking in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve's unique rock formations. The Search for Matthew's Head tour provides a thrilling experience, but be prepared for rough waters during high to low tide trips. Families with kids can enjoy a leisurely river tour with knowledgeable guides sharing interesting facts about the area.
Great little cafe in Alma. It’s a new cafe located in the same building as the kayak excursion location. We sat on the new deck, enjoyed the view and had scones, jam, and fresh pressed coffee. Excellent breakfast and very friendly staff!

We went on the Search for Matthew's Head tour on a sunny Sunday morning. The hour before we got on the water we learned about the kayaks, paddling and the gear as well as where we would be travelling. We did the high to low tide trip so we put in right outside the building. The waters were very rough with large swells. It was very hard work. My partner in my tandem kayak was my 8 year old daughter. She did well, but if you going with a younger child be prepared to do most of the work! We didn't quite make Matthew's Head and stopped at Herring beach instead. Which was fine with our entire group (almost half children under 12 yrs old). Snack was great. The guides were outstanding. The tour was super well organized and they knew exactly what to do to support our group and get us safely back in as the waves continued to get higher. All four of us loved the experience despite how challenging it was! Highly recommend this company. And highly recommend the experience (just know that it may not be a leisurely paddle!).

Everything about Fundy is special to me. Been going there camping my whole life in NB and it's my favourite spot here in the province, and now we take our kids to start learning to love it too. If you want that special time outdoors with your family Fundy has it all, hikes, ocean, camping, parks, and all of it is focused on nature and appreciation for the outdoors. Clean well maintained federal park, services aplenty and some of the best hiking in the Atlantic provinces.

Fundy National Park is a remarkable destination that showcases the beauty of Canada's natural landscapes. Nestled along the Bay of Fundy, this park offers a unique experience with its fascinating tidal phenomenon. The water levels here rise and fall dramatically, creating an ever-changing coastal environment that is both captivating and awe-inspiring.
One of the highlights of visiting Fundy National Park is witnessing the dramatic tidal changes firsthand. The sight of the water level rising and falling is truly mesmerizing, and it offers a glimpse into the powerful forces of nature at work. This tidal activity also creates a dynamic ecosystem, supporting a diverse range of plant and animal life.
Aside from the tidal phenomenon, Fundy National Park boasts stunning scenery and a variety of outdoor activities. Visitors can explore the park's numerous hiking trails, which meander through lush forests, along rugged coastlines, and past picturesque waterfalls. The park is also home to a number of beautiful beaches, perfect for relaxing or taking a refreshing dip in the ocean.
Overall, Fundy National Park is a wonderful place to visit for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Its unique tidal phenomenon, stunning scenery, and diverse wildlife make it a must-see destination in Canada.

Beautiful park with lots of things to do. Great trails with amazing views. I recommend you to see Dickson Falls and Shiphaven trails, Point Wolfe Beach

Such a varied park. Waterfalls, beaches, forests, and massive tides. The red chairs are perfect for chilling and instagramming. There are plenty of trails to enjoy quiet walks, and there are myriad places to just sit and enjoy nature. Lovely place for a visit.

This was my first visit to the park. The National Park is located within a short walk to the quaint town of Alma which has restaurants, a micro brewery and the famous Kelly's Bake Shop and shops too. There are an abundance of hiking trails where you can explore the coastline and ocean floor, or hike in the woods and swim in a waterfall. This is a magical place and I will be back soon!

Probably one of the coolest parks I've been too. Really nice during fall.
I completes Mathews head trail first. Lots of mud and exposed roots. Gotta be careful you don't hit a tree root and roll your ankle. There is a collection of walking sticks at the start of the trail. I recommend taking one (and returning it) for use during the uphill parts.

Amazed at the size of the park. It was so beautiful and huge. The look off was so high that my friends and I saw the top of a cloud, and the water in the bay of Fundy was unbelievably warm. There were so many cool rocks, and the waterfall area was super cool.

We were going to drive from Quebec to PEI with no stops in New Brunswick. We ended up staying in this park for 15 days and still felt like we needed more time! Unreal hikes without the crowds you get in other places. Campgrounds get VERY busy and loud but it is a great place to vacation. The Salmon River hike is great, and quiet. Waterfall hikes and hikes along Fundy Bay are also amazing.

Lots of people have already posted pictures of the beautiful sceneries. I just want to recommend the Cookhouse. They are the savior of our hungry stomaches when we didn't bring our lunch. The delicious sandwiched are hand made by their staff with fresh ingredients at reasonable prices. The chocolate cookies are so yummy that my kids gobbled a dozen a flash. The staff are so nice and friendly. If you're hungry, it's a great place to go!

Such a beautiful park to visit. There is a small entrance fee but it's not too much. Lots of trails to choose from. I did Mathews head trail. Very senic and lots to do. Make sure to stop at the visitor center to use the washroom as the other washroom is a little far away.
The Fundy Trail Parkway is a stunning and scenic coastal area that boasts magnificent lookout points, hiking trails, sandy beaches, cascading waterfalls, and historical monuments. This picturesque stretch of land offers visitors an opportunity to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature and witness the rugged coastline up close. The trail meanders through lush forests alongside the Bay of Fundy before opening onto breathtaking vistas that are sure to take your breath away.
St Martins Sea Caves is a picturesque location formed by the Bay of Fundy, accessible via trails during low tide. A short distance from the city lies Fundy Trail Parkway, offering a 16 km coastal drive dotted with stunning viewpoints, hiking paths, beaches and an interpretive center. Visitors can opt for guided tours or self-exploration. Rubber boots are recommended to cross a stream that leads to the water and reach the sea caves up close.
Really nice place in the morning with the tide out! Just bring rubber boots to cross a stream that leads to the water in order to get right up next to the sea caves unless you don't mind your feet getting a little wet 👍

Nice beach, the low tide exposes a couple of shallow caves that are off limits to the public due the danger of falling overhead rocks. The caves are nothing fabulous but the idea of receding seawater and accessing the caves is nice. The beach is rocky and in some parts you'll need to step into small shallow streams to get to the caves so be sure to wear beach shoes. A couple decent restaurant, a souvenir shop and icecream shop are walking distance. Good fun for a day.

Wow, just absofruitly wow, highly recommend visiting on low tide to get the most out of this place. I recommend boots as even on low tide there giant puddles that might prevent you from getting access to some really cool spots. Also got to see some really things like shrimps, crabs and live clams/mussels.
Zhivago Xin — Google review
Nice free activity. Get there close to low tide to see the caves best. Wear water shoes or rubber boots. There is a stream you must cross and the ground around the rocks is slippery and wet. Do not dawdle or you may be caught by the ocean coming back in.
Patrick Kossmann — Google review
Went to see the Caves on a cruise ship excursion that was 3 hours in length. Since a full tide change is 6 hours and all I saw was mid high to mid low exposure. When you visit the Bay of Fundy you should allocate a full tidal change to get a feel for how far and fast the tides are here. Disappointed, unable to explore caves. but it was a very cool, scenic area non the less.

Beautiful spot, ample parking if you come before 11 on the weekend, and lots of little restaurants and ice cream nearby to enjoy before/after you walk at low tide. The pebble beach was a little bit treacherous for me in slides, I would probably go with closed toe shoes next time that won’t get rocks stuck in my shoes next time.

This is a spectacular location. We couldn't get right into the caves because there was water preventing us. Had superb seafood chowder. Just a great spot
Henry Flattery — Google review
The sea caves are definitely worth checking out. Make sure to plan for low tide to be able to walk around the sea floor, and bring sturdy shoes!
No restrooms near except for in the restaurant, but check the hours because if you are there when they are closed you may have to duck behind a rock in a tide pool....

I guess it’s cool but my mind wasn’t blown. It’s a nice walk at low tide. Lots of parking, cute town nearby (but everything is closed in the winter).

Went at low tide and walked way out into the bay! Had to cross a small stream of water to get to the "caves"! Boy, it was cold! I was a little disappointed as they are really not caves, but just erosion produced openings in the rock walls. They don't go very far back either and are roped off because of rocks falling down. But, it was fun to walk so far out into the bay where the water was at high tide!! Wear water shoes as you do have to walk in the water to get over to the "caves". Depending on when you go, the stream can be as low as ankle deep and then just gets higher the closer to high tide you are. Try to get there an hour before low tide so you'll have plenty of time to explore the area before the water starts coming back in!!

Paul Sharp — Google review
Short drive from Saint John along a scenic route - well worth it! As with any location along the Bay of Fundy, make sure to check the tide schedule before arriving - you'd want to be there at low tide and stay a little longer to see the tides come in. Fascinating.
Take a stroll along the exposed shore, search for green crabs and baby shrimp in the shallow pools left by the retreating water!
The cave formations are very impressive. To get there from the rocky beach, you'll cross a fresh water stream which is exposed at low tide (it can get more than ankle deep) - bring a change of shoes in case.
Plenty of parking, and a couple of great restaurants in case you get hungry.

Be prepared to walk on uneven rocks and through water if you want to get closer (definitely worth it!). Cute shop and ice cream place up the street and delicious lobster roll a little further (bright and colourful, can't miss it)

Great place to visit during the world's largest tides. Two huge caves make perfect tourist attractions for everyone. Kids to adults.
Situated near 2 famous restaurants. You can park free of charge. And a small walk on the beach during low tide time. Or try kayaking when high tide hits.
Make sure to wear boots or water shoes even at low tide. You have to cross a small creek to visit inside caves. Can be muddy. But it looks amazing.
Support saint Martin's local business while visiting.
What an amazing family experience! Educational and fun! Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. It's a maritime must try!

Great place to spend an afternoon with family or for relaxing alone! There is a playground for smaller children to one side. There are a few sheltered picnic areas with charcole BBQ stands, first come, first serve. A ball field is located in front. A small trail for walking and enjoying nature with a charming mini wooden covered bridge. There is a boat dock and slip. The beach is maintained and has a lifeguard on duty in the summer months. Hours are posted when in season. Check with local authorities on swimming notices ahead of time for water quality. Dogs are welcomed on a leash and may swim outside the designated areas that are indicated by floating barriers. Washrooms are located in the back of the building, ground level. There is also a portable washroom next to the playground. The parking lot is easy and spacious. The only reason this isn't a five-star rating is that I couldn't find a water fountain for a child who didn't have a bottle with them. When I went into the bathroom, there were no signs stating if the water was potable. There were no staff visible or when searched for to ask. It's always your own responsibility to have water with you and stay hydrated. However, in the case of a child not being prepared, having signage to assist would have been beneficial. Otherwise, I highly recommend it!!!
The Saint John City Market is a historic market that opened in 1876. It features local produce, meats, seafood, and crafts.
⭐A Must-Stop for Food, Souvenirs, Art, and More!⭐
If you're looking to get a "taste of St. John," you'd better visit the City Market. This covered market is a short walk from King's Square, and filled with an impressive variety of food, art, clothing, and vendors. You're certain to find a unique souvenir here, and enjoy a taste of everything from fresh fruit to fresh fish. Both Lebanese and Japanese cuisine can be savored here.
There are bathrooms for your convenience. The walkways can be a bit narrow during crowded times, but the hustle-and-bustle adds a excitement and energy to the experience. Don't miss it when you visit St. John!

One of the oldest farmers market in Canada. Lots of history here. Love the architecture and interior space. However when I visited in October 2021, there were only a few vegetable vendors. Mostly vendors selling arts and crafts. I assume it is due to the pandemic, and business has been slower than usual and it is the end of the growing season.

Must have been a slow time as not all the stalls are open during the lunch hour rush. A lot of food selections of all ethnicities to choice from like deli, Korean and Lebanese. We opted for the Korean and can say not the best we’ve had as it was cafeteria style and pre-made food. The chicken and rice cakes was in a sweet and sour sauce that was just too sweet and no heat.
Overall the building itself is historic itself and take the time to look up and around the building.
Saving gave of this place is Uncorked! A must stop to all things NB in a glass or two.

Touristy of course, but mixed in are some truly original items. And of course, because of the historical significance, definitely worth the time to visit. Avoid the cruise ship 🚢 crowds if you can.

Ferry says to arrive one hour ahead. You do need to be there. They were great about changing our return date. They have two movies to watch (children/general adult). One crossing only has the cafeteria style restaurants open the other crossing had the cafe and cafeteria open
There is a van for walkers to take and an elevator if mobility is an issue. There are stairs and an escalator for others.
Lounging areas are clean, washrooms are clean.
There are two outside decks. No chairs in the winter months. There looks to be a bar and probably seating in the warmer months.
Our crossing was smooth sailing.

On a summer day, we enjoyed a walk on ride to Digby, boat is clean and well kept. Very nice views on a clear day. Enjoy the top deck where there is a bar/cantine. Inside there is 2 other cantines with Java moose coffee, all prices are reasonable and comparable to off boat.

Great experience. I recently delivered kayaks to Digby for some customers in NS. While I wasnt impressed that I could not drop them on the car deck as cargo (other ferry services in the area allow this), I understand the liability issues the company is trying to avoid.
The staff were very helpful and professional. On the Digby side one staff member insisted that he help my customers get the kayaks on their roof so I could get back on the very. That is excellent customer service and good business sense getting customers back on board in a timely fashion, limiting delays.
I bought a meal in the cafe (one of a couple aboard) and was very surprised that the prices were NOT outrageous. They were actually very reasonable!
I would definitely recommend using Bay Ferries and the MV Fundy Rose for and travel to southern NS.

The New Brunswick Museum is situated in the Market Square of downtown Saint John and showcases exhibits related to the cultural heritage and natural history of the province. The museum features life-sized models, artifacts related to military history, Canadian art, and a popular Hall of Great Whales exhibit that includes an actual skeleton of a North Atlantic right whale suspended from the ceiling. Additionally, children can enjoy various interactive activities and crafts at the museum.
More interesting than I taught. I'm not into art, but it was really a surprise for me to be into it. Worth the price. If you got children, they got a beautiful place for them with you and crafts.

Can't wait until the 3rd floor is finished. However, just because much is covered over with tarp of the 1st floor and the 3rd floor is closed for renovations, doesn't mean you shouldn't go. My brother and I had a great hour here all the same. The staff member was very nice and informed us before we paid about all the renovations. Also, the price was reduced from $8/adult to $6, so that was nice. Still a lot to see, in a very picturesque area, and thoughtful displays.

I was expecting more but it was decent. They gave me half off because a lot of exhibits were closed and there were signs everywhere saying sections were closed due to building issues and the province and landlord were working on them.
Layout is a little confusing, but there are some cool exhibits on ship building and whales. Come prepared to read because most information is printed on 8.5x11 paper with 12pt font.

The Reversing Falls is a renowned natural attraction located in Saint John City. This attraction is famous for its tidal rapids on the Saint John River, which offers an excellent opportunity for whitewater kayaking enthusiasts. The observation deck also provides an ideal spot to view this spectacular phenomenon. The Bay of Fundy's high tides, among the highest in the world, can result in significant variations from high to low tide of up to 16 meters or about five-story building equivalent.
No other visitors were here.
This is as seen in Wie is de Mol 2003 Episode 4.
It is quite the natural wonder to see. It is about a 45 minute walk from the hotel district of Saint John.
It's cool to just stand here and watch the water move.

It's unfortunate that such a rare natural phenomena plays second fiddle to things like the Irving paper and pulp company. It's a very interesting event to experience, but a pretty wretched environment to experience it in. A wrong turn into the private company lot showed there's so much more that's not visible from the public locations either

Tourist trap. Really boring views of something that is not that impressive. Party of the tour.

This is a must see. It’s important to take every at opportunity to learn from nature as you can. On top of that it’s pretty cool, and the view is great. The city really needs to figure out how to make it easier to navigate to the tourist facility because vehicles are consistently driving through the mill, which is unsafe..
Theresa Finn — Google review
This is a must-see when traveling in the area. It is not often that you can see a river change course, but that is exactly what happens here several times a day. At high tide, the Bay of Fundy forces the river to flow backward, then at low tide, it changes course and flows outward. This doesn't happen quickly. You will have to stick around for a while to see this.

Reversing Falls Rapids is a Natural Wonder, also is the world’s greatest example of tidal impact upon a river.
Twice each day 100 billion tons of water, a volume equal to all of the world’s rivers … enters and exits the Bay of Fundy. At this location, water levels rise as much as 9 meters or 28 feet in a tidal cycle. Reversing Falls Rapids experiences two tidal cycles daily resulting in 2 low tides and 2 high tides. Each complete cycle is roughly 12 hours and 10 minutes. Between the tidal extremes is a calm period known as “slack tide”, this condition lasts for just 20 minutes and is the only time vessels can safely pass through the gorge.
Interestingly, five thousand years ago, sea level was 30 meters or 100 feet lower in this area. Native people living here at that time enjoyed an impressive waterfall!
Yen Yuan — Google review
A waste of time. Yes, this is a tidal river, but not with the visible force or volume many have written about, but perhaps with the spring melt-off.
We visited in early May, waited for high tide and were immediately disappointed.
Seems to be a bit of a tourist trap, and not worth the wait, or delay in your trip to other parts.
Can't recommend.

We went and saw the water going over the falls the first day. There was actually a drop, hard to tell the actual height, of maybe 15 to 25 feet. Went there the next day and the water was going the other way. Went through a neighborhood to get a different view. There was a seal going with the flow. Looked like a labrador retriever out there floating along, but it would go under water for several minutes and reappear.
Tom Rueb — Google review
Reversing Falls Rapids is one of the few things to see in Saint John. Caused by the highest tides in the world in the Bay of Fundy, the river flow reverses and causes the "rapids." You can view the falls twice a day at low and high tide from the Fallsview Park viewpoint, on the Reversing Falls Bridge, or another vantage point that offers a bird's-eye view of the river gorge.

It's an awesome sight to behold. Be prepared to coordinate your timing based on the tide schedule for the best experience. St. John has so many things to do. We go up at least once a month and love it each time.

There are lookout points, picnic sites with grills, and a wheelchair-accessible boardwalk that passes over salt marshes - a great spot for birdwatchers. Furthermore, the park boasts six eco-systems that have been carefully preserved and optimized for public enjoyment. Visitors can explore eight walking trails of varying lengths through the lush forest and along the water's edge.
Probably the best trail I have ever walked on. It is well maintained, have staff driving through the park for monitoring, beautiful views, and the foliage smells so good. There are gravel flatter trails to walk, as well as paths through the forest that walks along side the water. Would definitely recommend visiting here.

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.

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

This place is such a gem. We spent about 3 hours in the park walking a couple of loops as we tackled the Squirrel and Heron trails that go entirely around the perimeter of the park. You go from being surrounded by trees and quiet to sections that just open up to beautiful views of the water. It was a cool way to take in nature, get some exercise, and get away from our phones. Also to note is how well-maintained the park is! No garbage on the ground and the bathrooms we stopped at were fine (stocked with TP and hand sanitizer).
One thing that made our experience special was coming across a group that was having a small community BBQ and they invited us to join before we moved on. We obviously appreciated the offer for some snacks and drinks, but always love being able to connect with locals and talk about what it’s really like to live where we’re visiting. They were such a welcoming group and we loved meeting them!

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

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

One of the best place in Saint John to visit. It has a beautiful view and places to park your car and do barbecue. This park also has walking trails. I would say it is a well maintained park hence lots of people using it. Overall one of the highly recommended place to visit in Saint John New Brunswick

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.

Excellent place to enjoy the day. There's some beautiful lookout points, easy and fun walking trails and great areas for picnics. We were unfortunate to have a cloudy afternoon but we managed to have a seal visit on the southern point of the park. Enjoy the view!

A lovely walk or drive through a peacefully quiet park. There are numerous spots along the drive if you wish to pull over, park, eat, barbecue, use the washroom, or walk down to the water.
Free entry so I don't see why you wouldn't want to spend a couple hours here.

The park is adorned with stunning lookout points that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Its walking trails are not only easy to navigate but also offer a delightful experience as you explore the natural beauty of the area. Additionally, the park boasts excellent picnic areas, making it the perfect spot for a leisurely lunch amidst nature.
During our visit, despite the overcast skies in the afternoon, the experience was nothing short of wonderful. A highlight was a surprise visit from a seal at the southern tip of the park, adding a touch of wildlife magic to our day. The views throughout the park are spectacular, ensuring that every moment spent here is one to remember. Whether you're a nature lover or simply looking for a peaceful escape, Irving Nature Park is definitely worth a visit.
Wonderful park right on the Bay of Fundy. Beautiful long sandy beach, perfect for building sand castles. Camp ground, hiking trails. Watch the beach transform with the tides.

Had a great day at New River Beach. They were shooting Race The Tide on the little beach we wanted to go to, so we wound up going to the main beach. We were there from low tide to almost high tide. It is crazy how quickly the water starts to rise once it begins.

Nice level, private sites. Good facilities and just across the road from a beautiful, safe beach. Very family friendly. Nice to fall asleep in our RV listening to the waves. Great hiking trails nearby. They just added a couple of bee hives in the beach park area as well as a flower garden (in progress). A great initiative!

Cool spot, you can actually walk down onto one of the platforms where you may see some fish and there is a fish watching "window" that likely was nice at one point, it looks pretty grimy now and looks like the window hasn't been cleaned in a while. Nice view down the falls and there is a geocache at the location (shhhhh...)

One of the great pleasures of walking about a small maritime island is that you’re bound to come across a lighthouse or two. Grand Manan is a charming island on the Bay of Fundy that is very close to the US state of Maine. Rich with heritage trails, the island is easily accessed from the mainland by ferry. This walk takes visitors from a picture-perfect lighthouse to a rocky beach, with some dramatic sights at points in between.
There is a 24.8-mile (40km) route called the Lighthouse Trail that hits several of Grand Manan’s lighthouses and other sites. But for something more leisurely, the stretch from the striking Swallowtail Lighthouse to Whale Cove features 2.4 miles (3.9km) of fantastic views, including a look at the island’s famous Hole-in-the-Wall rock formation. The path can be a bit rugged at times and will take about three hours to navigate each way.

A beautiful place to visit. As long as you can walk down the steep steeps, and across the narrow foot bridge you will have easy access to this very scenic location. Tours of the lighthouse are often available, and you can also climb the stairs to the top of the lighthouse. There is also a gift shop at the entrance. Parking is somewhat limited to about 10 cars. .

Beautiful spot, amazing views. The volunteers were very kind enough to tell us about the history and give a tour inside the lighthouse. Wish I clicked more pics inside, lots of history. Purchased a replica from the gift store as a souvenir. Amazing place and people. Will visit this place again for sure when I go back to Grand Manan Island.

Another very special piece of Grand Manan. Spectacular, rugged area with terrific views of the Bay. The main trails are wide and well groomed and most would have little trouble navigating them. Some are quite steep and could be a challenge for some. Other trails that navigate very close to the cliffs and the water below are narrow and there are no barriers so you need to pay attention and if you have kids in tow make sure to keep them close.
Stephen P. M. — Google review
Beautiful views,loved reading the history of lighthouse and how it progressed over the years. Steep stairs leading down to path for access to lighthouse, reasonable $ for entry to lighthouse. Spectacular views. Gift shop has lots of nice items.
Grand Manan Island is a charming and rustic destination, accessible only by ferry from Blacks Harbour. This tiny fishing community offers a 35-kilometer road that follows the sea, with side roads leading to its dramatic western shore. The island is a haven for birdwatchers, boasting over 240 species including the Atlantic puffin. It's also popular for whale-watching and spotting aquatic animals like dolphins and seals.
The island is a good destination as a day or weekend trip. The area is fairly small and easy to explore with minimal driving / travel time (once you get there... .)

Recommended: book the ferry tickets beforehand (both ways) and get to the terminal early! I think we got there an hour and a half early. If you are planning on camping, I would recommend earplugs if you aren't a deep sleeper. It was foggy there when we went (mid July) and they have a loud fog horn that goes off every 15-20 seconds. Don't let that discourage you though! The Hole in the Wall was absolutely the best 2 days of our 2 week trip. I believe we were on the cliff's edge and one night we sat and ate dinner while watching seals and whales. It was absolutely beautiful! Those earplugs were a life saver though!
I can't say enough good stuff about this camping spot. It's absolutely beautiful, and wild bunnies own the park. They don't ever bother you. They come out and run around until dark! We chose the very private area, our spot was #66, the best spot in the park, nice clean showers laundry, and a clean kitchen you can use anytime you want! We went to hike, and hike we did, 32 mile of some of the most beautiful scenery 😍

Beautiful campground, we stayed in rustic shelter 104 which is practically on the beach. The campground is clean and well tended. You can’t beat the rates either. The only downside (and no fault of the campground) is because of the proximity to the beach and walking tails, not to mention a bunny burrow with 10 baby bunnies we always had people coming into our campsite taking pictures or cutting through to get to the beach despite the campground having signs up not to.

An awesome spot to park your tent or RV, great walking trails with wheelchair access, friend people, long sandy beach with a tide so be careful, even has rentalable cabins if your quick enough. And lots of rabbits to feed. So come and join the fun.

Great campground! First of all the staff were super friendly and helpful and welcoming. And then there are the bunnies. This place is crawling with a wild population of domestic bunnies. Definitely make sure to bring some carrots or other vegetables if you want to make some friends. The tent sites themselves are pretty nice too (though I will say you should choose wisely if you want some seclusion) and there’s a path down to a nice beach which is great to walk along. Would definitely recommend staying here if you are coming to the island!

Except for the open-field sites, most sites are large and private. Washrooms are older but clean and well maintained. Showers have plenty of hot water and good pressure.

Our family camped at Anchorage Provincial Park in August 2021. The staff were friendly and helpful. The park is close to a large grocery store with everything you need and there is a convenience store nearby as well.

I can't recommend this campground enough.

Beautiful campground. Nicely kept with breathtaking rugged beach for wildlife viewing and rock hounding.

We had a truly amazing experience in Campobello with Captain Mackie. An amazing whale watching tour where we saw several Minkie whales, porpoises, sea dogs and birds. Mackie is knowledgeable in all things aquatic, a real salt of the earth guy!! He loves his job and it really shows. We were so fortunate to have had a tour all to ourselves (VIP treatment). It was a beautiful night on the water and certianly something we will never forget!! We are NB'ers and we are so fortunate to have such beauty in our own back yard.

I can't say enough about this campground. It's part of a provincial park so the rates are low. There aren't many amenities like a pool etc so you don't have tons of loud and annoying people around. It is nice and quiet and clean. The shower facilities are excellent and the staff is A+++. I originally was scheduled to camp during memorial day weekend but one of the kids got sick the day before we left. I called to cancel and they refunded me no questions asked. I was planning on caulking up as a loss. So we went a couple weeks later. We were running late and weren't going to make check in before closing time. I gave them a call and they checked me in over the phone. No big deal. I will be staying again in the future.
PS. this is a power only hook up campground. No water or sewer but there is a dump station and potable water locations around the campground.

I certainly enjoyed our stay here. Camping spots include ones nestled into the trees and others in open field areas. In all cases there was a lot of space between spots. My spot was very nearly level. I enjoy hiking and there are plenty of trails. Trail maintenance is clearly a very low priority. Many trails have standing water without bogwalk and there are many trees down across the trails. The trails are largely flat old carriage trails. Some are blazed and on official maps and some are not. At least one was completely overgrown (it was a side trail along the water). All are pretty.
Shelters/cabins also exist and certainly looked nice as I walked by.

I walk around the campground and through the day use area nearly every day from May to September. They have added some new cabins recently and soon will have a much needed bathhouse at the waterfront campground. The viewing platform overlooking the beach and out to Grand Manan is worth walking to. You can walk the beach all the way to the Roosevelt Campobello International Park and with some road walking you can complete the trail which leads you back to the day use area past the Rock of Gibraltar. The trails in the park definitely need maintenance however. Even the trail from the main campground to the day use area and waterfront campground needs gravel and drainage. The trail from the campground to rocket Gibraltar needs major maintenance. From the Glen Severn road to the rocket Gibraltar The bridges are in good shape, but there are some trees that need to be cut. And also would be nice if they actually made a parking lot for the trail on the Glen Severn road.

There are also many campsites in the woods for smaller campers and tents. Great rates and friendly staff.

The West Quoddy Head Lighthouse is a well-preserved and picturesque historic site that includes a keeper's house and an on-site visitor's center. The location of the lighthouse at the easternmost point of the United States provides for a unique experience, with beautiful views and walking paths on the grounds leading down to a beach. While the lighthouse itself may be closed during certain times of year, visitors can still appreciate its beauty from afar.
The lighthouse, as well as the setting, was idyllic. I couldn't believe how much cooler the temperature was here than at other spots I'd visited during my trip. Knowing I was at the end of the United States -- from an eastern standpoint -- was fun.
Bobby Painter — Google review
Beautiful place. There is a parking lot up from the light house and handicap parking right by the lighthouse. The park opens at 9 but the visitors center, museum, gift shop opens at 10. There is a pay here box as you walk down from the parking lot that I encourage you to pay at. It costs $4 per person for out of state. This money goes to preserving the lighthouse. There are restrooms by the parking lot. There are several trails that take you down to the beach area and around the state park.
Jill Roaden — Google review
Visiting the lighthouse furthest east on the United States eastern seaboard was a delight, even if the most intense fog rolled in to spoil my pics of it. The bizarre, yet most interesting, things about it are that you can literally AirBNB here and it costs money to tour it. While no park rangers were around, much of the trek back didn't seem to bad. Lots of windy roads and scenic desolation to get there, but once there, the scene is beautiful. Tranquility as a place. There was a family there staying and I think we kind of scared them a little, as they rushed to get into the house while we were approaching. The parking area is dirt and gravel, and the hill down is a subtle grade, but once there, the view could be spectacular. Head out to the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse and discover what I mean! Then head into Lubec for some delightful seafood at the Fisherman's Wharf!

We drove to see this lighthouse. Grounds are beautiful. Unfortunately, the lighthouse was not open and couldn't climb in this one. It was the beginning of the season for this area. It was very cold and windy the day we went. There is a .5 mile trail that is great to walk. It takes you on a path up to different areas to see "Dangerous" Bluffs and then to steps to look out into the water. Beautiful outdoors. Highly recommend. Be sure to watch the weather as when we arrived the weather was clear and then fog was rolling in after walking the trails. This area does have a price of $4 and is done on an honor basis.

The town is a very quiet town. The main attraction (probably the only attraction), is the west quoddy head lighthouse. The views are spectacular, for sunrise and sunset right in front of the lighthouse. Even on the off season people still go and see it but other than the lighthouse the towns a ghost town, at least off season. The fisherman's wharf is one of the very few restaurants in town and it's a hit or a miss when they are open. They also have a hotel as well called the inn on the wharf. We were only there a few days but the owners seemed nice from what we saw.
Lubec is hours away from most people, a long drive but seeing the lighthouse is worth it. Even though the town doesn't maintain it well (it needs painting), it's still a stunning lighthouse with amazing views and photo opportunities.
Overall, 5 stars. One of my favorite places! ❤️

Very cool! They do close at 4, in summer, so we couldn’t go inside. But the whole area is gorgeous. The picture with easternmost point in US will be memorable.

Love lighthouses and this one's beautiful. The weather was perfect and the fog was further out in the ocean. The museum is very informative and the staff is successful!! We hiked around the State Park and saw more incredible sights.

This charming lighthouse is worth a visit. Easy access and great views. While your there, enjoy the trails.

The admission fee is an honor box (green) near the entry sign at the trail head from the parking lot. There is not a lot to see here unless you are doing a four corners type of adventure. However, it's something to tell people...great bucket list item.

Watched a breathtaking sunrise here at West Quoddy Head Lighthouse. Lubec, Maine October 11, 2023. Highly recommend this experience! The visitors center was closed but there were 12-15 other people gathered to watch. All who gathered were respectful of this magestic opportunity for photographing.

Great place. Really beautiful lighthouse. Very important Easternmost point of USA. Surroundings are amazing too. Got to see some Bald Eagles sitting on the ocean rocks. And could see the far away island views too. Beautiful ocean views. We also saw here, a porcupine walking from the nearby trees areas. Great visit indeed. We loved our time here.

I am road traveller who would like to take a record at extreme points. This lighthouse marks the easternmost point of United States, and I am proud of myself that I reached this point. Unfortunately, it is a bit raining, if the weather becomes clear, I think the ocean will be much more beautiful.

There are some gorgeous trails near the lighthouse! Breathtaking views! My first time here I saw a giant porcupine about a quarter of a mile in to the trail just chilling, it wasn’t threatened by us at all. Just sat there doing its own thing, it was so cute

I admit to not being super hard to please, that said, I was very pleased with this lighthouse. Of the several I visited in Maine. It was definitely one of the nicer ones and you had a beautiful view of the ocean, the islands in Canada, a museum and a cool little gift shop. It was also nice to go to the northeastern most point of the country has been to the southeastern and northwestern.

Beautiful! Nice stating that you’re at the furthest NE corner of the USA. Very friendly staff, gorgeous art work available for purchase. Handicap parking is limited to about 5 vehicles. Very doable walk around for mobility challenges.

It was a long ride, but ultimately worth it. It was a very interesting little museum that offered quite a bit of history of the lighthouse and that area of Maine in general. Also, being at the eastern most point of the continental United States is something that you can tell your friends about. The staff was extremely friendly and they had a decent little selection of gifts and also a nice art gallery with local art for sale. I recommend taking a hike on the trails and going down to the beach. Overall very good experience.

An excellent visit and a nice check off the list as not many have been here.
Be sure to take some of the hikes to the South and spend the day in very remote Maine.
Photos from early September 2023.

It was amazing! Never have I been to a real lighthouse. The ocean knowing I was at the eastern most point of my home state it was like nothing else honestly.
