Located in west Saint John,you drive along a road seperating beach from tidal marshland before actually getting to the nature park. The park has roads and trails , throughout , and access to the shoreline to enjoy its many views and of coastline, ships, and mysteries under rocks and seaweed. Not to mention several species of sea birds.,and harbor seals,along with land birds and animals , including whitetail deer. When the tide allows you can explore the marshland , along boardwalks and trails. A beautiful spot to visit.

This is a beautiful park. We walked Lily Lake early in the morning. The trail is in excellent condition, plenty of contour and there are solar lights for walking after dark. There are many benches along the trail, which is wide, partly paved, partly gravel, partly wooden. Some folks have put out and maintain bird feeders. The arboretum is well done (I correctly guessed the species of more than half the marked trees we saw). We will go back to see more on our next visit.

All aboard the Fundy Rose, the new ferry replacing Princess of Acadia. With daily crossings between Digby, Nova Scotia and Saint John, New Brunswick, the Fundy Rose transports all types of vehicles including cars, RVs, trucks, tour buses, and motorcycles, as well as walk-on passengers and four-legged friends, plus travel times are now reduced by an additional 45 minutes per crossing. The Fundy Rose also offers all daytime sailings and a host of new and improved amenities.
Everything from calling customer service to change dates, to checking in to driving your car onto the ferry and the crossing itself was nothing but fìrst class.
I had never been on this crossing and the day I went there was a snowstorm but all staff I spoke with were friendly and helpful.
The Fundy Rose was incredibly clean with plenty of options for different types of Seating. The benefit of Wi-Fi is an excellent service. If you are hungry the prices are good and you can even have Digby Scallops.
Besides saving me 6 hours of driving it was a stress free way to travel.

Tour our historic brewery where we brew our beer today and learn how art, science, and passion come together to create award-winning beers. Dating back to 1867, learn about how the Oland family brewing business has survived for six generations and how Moosehead continues to be one of the most resilient and time-honored Canadian Breweries.
I would highly recommend this tour with a group of friends - it was very informative, well organized, offered time to ask questions and an interesting experience to have the inside view of the production facility. Steve was an excellent host and shared a combination of history of the facility, beer making processes, batch differences.... and some sampling to ensure we understood the lessons !

From the cruise terminal it's very easy to walk to King's Square. Going to this Square you'll find other attractions and interesting places to visit. It is located at 100 King Street, just uphill from Saint John City Market. This is a peaceful and tranquil park where you can sit, relax and enjoy some free time (weather permitting). On a fine day you can stop here and watch locals and tourists relaxing and strolling around. Stop for a while after that busy day and enjoy this park and its surroundings. You will find benches, a gazibo in the middle of the park, monuments and a well maintained garden.

I grew up in Saint John so I've visited here several times over the years. Recently they spruced up the area, adding in a viewing deck. Still, this is poorly named. It's the merging of the St. John river and the Atlantic ocean at the change of tides that you are seeing.
Not that this isn't interesting in itself but with the name you may be expecting water falling from a cliff or other high point.
It's not that.

New Brunswick's Festival Place welcomes you to enjoy a taste of Market Square's finest as you shop, eat, play, and explore! Open from first coffee 'til last call, seven days a week, year round, we are proud to act as the cornerstone of Uptown Saint John! It's the perfect place to shop, dine, relax or play. We've saved the best for last, though: one of our finest features, the Boardwalk! Head out to our waterfront patio for some delicious food from our world-class chefs and a refreshing pint of Moosehead, and any other favourites to whet your whistle!
This is interesting and has a few restaurants that have reasonable prices but i would say outside of that there is really nothing here. Now in fairness i was there in off season on a weekday so maybe the place is hopping on the weekend or high season. I did take offense to a sign stating you need to eat in 15 mins then leave the food court eating area. I am all about fairness but that is unreasonable. I mean what are they doing timing people?!!
