The magnificent 27-acre horticultural garden has much to offer, with over 50,000 perennials in many themed gardens, engaging animals, an annual National Sculpture Competition, ponds, streams, old-growth Acadian forest, activities for children and much more. Come and tour for yourself to see what has prompted this and numerous other awards Kingsbrae Garden. There is something for everyone!
We walked to the Kingsbrae Garden from the Algonquin Inn where we were staying, and it was only a 10 minute stroll. This attraction exceeded our expectations, and we enjoyed meandering through each and every garden, our favourites were the perennial garden (full of colour, and ideas for home!); the bird and butterfly garden - the monarchs were all over the place; a 'secret' garden - a wonderful area for reflection and contemplation; and the Sculpture Garden with gorgeous art works nested amongst the flowers and greenery. We had a delightful lunch at the Garden Cafe, a bright and cheerful dining area. I had Bacon, Chive and Cheese Quiche with Garden Salad and Garden Punch, and my husband had a Spinach Salad. The gift shop was full of curios, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the time spent at the garden was well worth the price of admission. If you are in St. Andrew's, try to make time for this lovely spot (and get there early in the morning before any bus tours arrive).

We did the hike twice to the top of mountain behind the Rossmount Inn. The first time was foggy so did not get to see anything. The second time the weather was much better and has a clear view of the surrounding area. Very picturesque with the fall foliage.

We love the Huntsman Aquarium. Due to COVID-19 the touch tanks are for viewing only but the kids still loved it. The seals are always a hit and when the tide is out you can walk down to the beach and explore the sea bed for urchins, star fish, crabs and other sea life.

A great place to stop for a stroll, a picnic, to watch the deer, or just to use the washroom ( with young children, it is a "must" to know where they can make those necessary pit-stops )
