Nova Scotia Welcome Centre

Reviewed By 235stellaw - Richmond, Canada

On our road trip to Cape Breton Island we stopped into the Nova Scotia Welcome Centre to take a break. Was pleasantly surprised by the well kept grounds. We took advantage of photo opportunities at the Welcome to Nova Scotia sign and lighthouse. The Welcome Centre was indeed welcoming because the staff was very happy to provide us with directions to Sydney NS plus a map. The gift shop had a wide selection of souvenirs and they were very well-priced and we ended buying some Nova Scotia pins to add to my collection. Last but not least, the washroom facilities were very clean (a bonus for anyone on a road trip).

Digby Visitor Information Centre

Reviewed By wmjjack

Into the office 3 years ago in pouring rain - asked the lady what would a person travelling through Digby on a day like this to. Down home response "I would keep on going", and she was right, rain coming sideways - fog/mist so we had to keep going. Back a week ago and different weather. Into office again - met by wonderful personable ladies and they knew the area well, Great recommendations - Tiverton/Ferry to Balancing Rock, Hays Cove, recommendation for breakfast. Fun people in the office - made our visit special. Thank you.
