Whether you are a nature lover or craft beer enthusiast, New Brunswick has something for everyone to enjoy.
With a Best Western Hotel and Resort to call home base, here are several must-sees in New Brunswick to add to your itinerary:
One of the largest cities in New Brunswick, Moncton is a historical city with strong French roots. The city’s personality and historical presence are reflected throughout the city in murals and public art, to name a few. And a short distance away from the city limits are some of the region’s best nature spots. Take an hour’s drive to explore Fundy National Park and its many waterfalls, from Third Vault Falls, Dickson Falls to Herring Cove Falls. And be sure to visit the park’s shores at Hopewell Rocks, where you can walk on the ocean floor.
If you enjoy history, you’ll love Saint John. With history at every corner, you’ll find something new to uncover at every step. Enjoy a more traditional museum setting at the New Brunswick Museum or experience the Big Pink Bus tours for a new way to discover the city. And you can’t visit without experiencing the Saint John City Market. A staple to the town, visitors can find local food, coffee, souvenirs, and more.
Did you know Fredericton – the provincial capital – ranks amongst the most taprooms per capita in Canada, with one taproom per 5,400 people? So, you can sip your way through craft beer and craft cider taprooms for a taste of what New Brunswick does best. And if you are into mountain biking, Fredericton is the town for you with nine trails to choose from and explore.
Grab the kids, pack some snacks, and head to Parlee Beach. The beach has the warmest salt water in Canada and provides peace and solitude from the shores, but it isn’t too far from shopping centers, restaurants, and boutiques, including the World’s Largest Lobster sculpture.
Mount Carleton Provincial Park
More than 42,000 acres of pristine Acadian woods and mountain peaks make up Mount Carleton Provincial Park. Hike up Mount Carlton – the highest peak – at nearly 3,000 feet for breathtaking views, or challenge yourself by hiking up Mount Sagamook, which sits at 2,549 feet tall. There is also a wheel-chair accessible trail at Williams Falls.
