Something Different to Enjoy
New Brunswick has more than just natural beauty, history and wildlife.
In addition to offering you wonderful whale watching, the chance to immerse yourself in Acadian life, photograph age-old lighthouses or be pampered in a luxurious spa, New Brunswick has many more varied treats for the visitor.
As well as the traditional, we also have fascinating museums which cover everything from antiques to Jewish history, potatoes to popes.
Why not go stargazing on Mount Carleton, New Brunswick’s highest point, or drift down the beautiful Miramichi River in an inflatable rubber ring ? Perhaps you’d prefer to attend an Irish Dance camp or be a cowboy for a day at an authentic rodeo?
Up the excitement level and explore the underground secrets of the Hillsborough White Caves, or see if you can control the shivers down your spine on a guided ghost walk.
The mammoth Bay of Fundy tides are responsible for another amazing natural phenomenon: as it passes through the city, the Saint John River flows over a series of rapids as it squeezes through a gorge. Twice a day, the massive incoming Bay of Fundy tide pours into the river mouth and forces the river flow back, reversing the prevailing current here. You can watch from the bridge, but getting soaked on a thrilling jet boat ride is the really exciting way to experience this wonder of nature !
Talking of natural phenomena, be sure to try and work out how your car rolls uphill at the amazing Magnetic Hill near Moncton: and the Magnetic Hill Zoo with its award-winning Ecodome ensures fun for all the family !
