3 Star Places To Visit in New Brunswick, Canada (37)

1. 3.5 Magnetic Hill Park (634 reviews)
   - Big surprise
   Natural History Museums • Mysterious Sites
   
   
   Cars appear to go faster up this hill than down it: an optical illusion or one of nature's mysteries? See more..
   
2. 3.5 Covered Bridge Potato Chip (136 reviews)
   - Who knew potato chips could be so interesting?
   Friday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Factory Tours
   
   
   I'd driven by this place so many times en route to my east coast destination, I finally decided to stop. Glad I did! I'd never really thought about what does into the making of potato chips aside from the obvious... potatoes. A self-directed tour through the factory was surprisingly interesting. Did you know potato chips were invented in 1853 in Saratoga Springs NY... and were a phenomenon solely in the US until 1921, when they were introduced in England? Or that Herman Lay popularized the snack by selling packages from the trunk of his car to US grocers in the 1920s... thereby establishing Lays as the first successful national brand? Or that chips pass through a metal detector before they're bagged? Or that nitrogen is what keeps them fresh in the bag? (tidbits of trivia you can use if you're stuck for conversation at your next office party.) The tour was $5, well worth it. And bonus! They hand you a bag of fresh potato chips at the end. Delicious!

3. 3.5 The Lighthouse (116 reviews)
   - LOTS OF COLD FISH IN THIS TOWN!
   Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Observation Decks & Towers • History Museums
   
   
   Ice cream stand with beer garden and viewing deck of Saint John River. Opens in Early June closes Labour Day weekend. See more..
   
4. 3.5 Butterfly World and the Boardwalk (86 reviews)
   - Poor Value for Admittance Price
   Spent More than 3 hours Piers & Boardwalks • Water Parks • Zoos
   
   
   $10 each for admittance (adults) for 6 minutes entry in the Butterfly dome. They have the dome sectioned off into 4 sections and you get to spend 1.5 minutes in each section. It is timed, and you are told when to move onto the next section. 6 minutes total. That's it. See more..
   
5. 3.5 Mactaquac Dam (51 reviews)
   - Beach at Mactaquac Park
   Dams
   
   
   We are beach and picnic people and we took my visiting daugher and our two granddaughters to the beach at Mactaquac for a great day of fun, swimming and picnic. The shallowness of the water is great for little ones and the two year old loves to dig in the sand. We met some lovely local people there who shared their water guns and all the kids had a great day in the water. We took our kites there as well. The washroom facilities were clean and well maintained. The beach staff were busy cleaning up the "goose poop" off the beach and unfortunately it is on the grass as well. The picnic tables are great to have as you can eat without getting sand in your food. Also the tap to rinse off is a great amenity. a canteen would be helpful. No lifeguards onduty on June 22nd was surprising. See more..
   
6. 3.5 SKYWALK Saint John (48 reviews)
   - nice view but too cosstly
   Friday: 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Lookouts • Observation Decks & Towers
   
   
   Reversing Rapids, where the 700km St John River meets the Bay of Fundy. Step out on the SKYWALK to witness the greatest impact on a river in the world can be seen. Twice each day the tide rises 28 ft and forces the St John River to reverse direction four times. Check the tide tables to view one of three distinct tides: low tide, slack tide, or high tide. We look forward to having you visit! See more..
   
7. 3.5 Avenir Centre (41 reviews)
   - Hockey game
   Arenas & Stadiums
   
   
   My wife had an event to attend in Moncton so I decided to check out the new arena for a hockey game. Great place to watch a hockey game. Only cons would be is the parking, I was staying at the delta so I was safe this time. Drinks and food are way over priced. I probably should have ate before I went. I would go again if I am staying downtown See more..
   
8. 3.5 St. George Falls (29 reviews)
   - Worth a quick stop, can be viewed from 2 angles
   Bodies of Water • Waterfalls
   
   
   There is a spot to pull over to view this gorge from two locations - the main bridge through town, or a smaller bridge, lower down (a map will show this, and it's not hard to find). The best-known views are from this lower bridge, but both are worth seeing as they offer different perspectives to this powerful water flow. Quite picturesque. See more..
   
9. 3.5 Anderson Hollow Lighthouse (17 reviews)
   - Needs a bit of TLC and moderate caution.
   Points of Interest & Landmarks • Lighthouses
   
   
   I love this area, and as someone previously mentioned,might not make a special trip to see this alone. I would combine it with the rest of the beauty in the region. Yes it is in need of some TLC, but there is no charge to come and visit for a while. See more..
   
10. 3.5 Mactaquac Golf Course (9 reviews)
    - Amazing
    Golf Courses
    
    
    Mactaquac is really in good shape, this year. The greens are really good and fun to play on. For all the golfers that are visiting the region I strongly suggest that you take a turn and include Mactaquac in your golf courses plays. The fact that it is in a provincial park, gets you the chance to see some wildlife that I find very amusing. Mactaquac est en bonne été cette été. Les verts sont très bon et plaisant à y jouer. Je recommandes un détour à tous les golfeurs qui voyagent dans la région de Fredericton. J'aime beaucoup que nous sommes immersés dans la nature et que nous avons la chance de voire des animaux.

11. 3.5 Atlantic Salmon Museum (9 reviews)
    - More to do with fly fishing
    Friday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums
    This museum wasn’t quite what we expected. We were expecting more about the Atlantic Salmon, it’s life cycle and migration, but it is more about fly fishing and the lures. Still lots of artefacts to look at and spend an hour of your time. See more..
    
12. 3.5 Grand Cinema 3 (8 reviews)
    - Wonderful environment
    Movie Theaters
    we movie booked tickets and issuance of the tickets was prompt. The crowd was good and the movies were shown on time. See more..

    - Lovely Little Spot
    Beaches
    
    
    Great little family friendly campground with playground and soccer nets. Kind & helpful staff. Small showers but with great water pressure. Exceptional free Wi-Fi gets good reception from almost everywhere in the park. Little laundry room with one washer (cold water wash only) & one drier are $2 each (loonies) - cleaned our clothes well and dried our loads (including hoodies) in one go. See more..

    - Up to date Movies
    Spent 1-2 hours Movie Theaters
    Greatly pleased to be back in Campbellton for the summer & find that the Cinema here is showing the latest in released movies. Very good news for the people who live here. A week or 2 after releases in major North American cities, the movies are showing here in northern NB. Lots of choices, & a week to see the movie you want each time. Very impressive. See more..

17. 3.0 NTR (Nashwaak Tube Rentals) (5 reviews)
    - Great lazy day
    River Rafting & Tubing • Gear Rentals
    
    
    This activity is for you: if you want to float leisurely down the Nashwaak river! There are two options the long run or the short run taking 2-4 hours depending on the water levels and winds. I went with a group of 8 today and we had a blast! The company was well organized and got us on our way quickly. This is a super activity and doesn't cost much. $10 bucks for a classic inner tube or $12 for a luxury tube. See more..
    
18. 3.5 Chocolate Cove (5 reviews)
    - One of many
    Bodies of Water
    
    
    Deer Isle has a number of coves and it seems the locals have found a way to utilize each one to make a living. At low tide you can walk out along the shore and enjoy the salty air. Most of the coves are "working" places, but they are just as picturesque. Hint: when you visit the island drive the left side following each road to the end; usually a cove, then go all the way to the campground. On the return take the right side as much as you can. If you plan to eat bring a picnic or stop at the 45th as there are very few restaurants. Plan a good 3-4 hours to see most of the island. See more..
    
19. 3.5 St. George Visitor Information Centre (4 reviews)
    - Enthusiastic, knowledgeable staff. Great info on a favourite town!
    Visitor Centers
    
    
    Completely surprised by other negative reviews as we found the staff who served us extremely knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic when we visited. This is blueberry country and the Visitor Centre is easy to spot - just look for the giant blueberry models! There's plenty of parking to the front. Outside there is an old mini tractor which is great for a photo opportunity. There is plenty of info available including a great heritage map of St George which is a real gem of a town with lots of history and helpful, interesting and fun folk residing there. It is a short walk down to the old wharf which is very picturesque and there are walks along the river and a 15-20 minute hiking loop along the Magaguadavic River called Ducks Unlimited walking trail which starts behind the centre. We stayed for over a week in St George and loved every minute of it. Will be returning again to visit soon I hope unless someone lets me live there permanently! See more..
    
20. 3.5 Cape Tormentine Outer Wharf Lighthouses (3 reviews)
    - Went for a drive around
    Points of Interest & Landmarks • Lighthouses
    
    
    This was a really great place. Went for a walk around the sand bars as the tide was going out. There is a cute camping spot. A nice view of the confederation bridge and we even wandered around the old ferry docks to the old light house. I would like to come back and camp here one day :) See more..
    
21. 3.5 Andrew & Laura McCain Art Gallery (3 reviews)
    - Well worth a stop
    Friday: 10:30 AM - 5:00 PM Art Galleries
    
    
    The McCain Library is open all year and stages a new show about every 6 weeks. Sometimes the artists are local, sometimes from elsewhere in New Brunswick or another Maritime province. Past shows have featured notable local artists such as Judith Saunders and Donna Smallenberg, Newfoundland's Christopher Pratt and New Brunswick Art Bank Acquisitions. Original work by talented regional artists is also available for sale at very reasonable prices. The Gallery is located in the lower level of the McCain Library building in the downtown area and is closed Sunday and Monday. There are two restaurants nearby, a boardwalk along the Saint John River and a picturesque covered bridge. See more..
    
22. 3.0 Sugarloaf Mall (3 reviews)
    - Mediocre Mall
    Friday: 9:30 AM - 9:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Shopping Malls
    
    
    Came in here because I was going to the Dollarstore which is located in this mall but did a little exploring. Walking the mall took only a few minutes, it's rather small. It doesn't even have a food court. The one restaurant listed, an A&W isn't even in there. The few stores it does have though are popular ones like Shopper's Drugmart, the Dollarstore, Mark's and Hart. I wouldn't come here if you're look to kill a lot of time, but if you need to buy something then for sure. See more..

    - A solid church
    Spent < 1 hour Churches & Cathedrals
    
    
    This church was built in 1948. It is huge and at the same time quite modest. The church is made of brown bricks. Quite solid. It has numerous windows and a steeple with a lot of windows as well. It was attractive and I enjoyed exploring it. Worthwhile to see! See more..

    - Average 9 hole course

    - For the French
    Points of Interest & Landmarks
    
    
    My wife and i went here yesterday. We are Anglophones. The entry fee is quite expensive. It all about the Acadian culture ( which is great ), bit very little is done in English, so unless you’re French you won’t understand most of it. The music portions ( all in French ) are very well done and entertaining. So getting there story across is only for the Franophones to understand… See more..
