Le Village Historique Acadien de la Nouvelle-Écosse
Museum
👍👍 This sort of attraction is right up my alley. The staff are so pleasant, they clearly love what they're doing. There's loads of interactive stuff to do, like work with a lathe, learn to tie knots, and make candles.
The wheelwright is so knowledgeable, it's kind of amazing. He was willing to answer...

Summerville Beach Provincial Park
Park
👍👍 I love Summerville beach. That train bridge jump has been a draw for me for years. This beach makes one of my top 3 in the province. White soft sand, clear water and not too busy.

👍 10 minutes before closing on Monday, we arrived at this centre after the long drive. I thought we couldn't make the trip!
Was it worth it? Definitely for UFO fans. Nothing special about this centre, except some news clippings on the wall. I purchased a book which is $10 cheaper than Amazon and I go...
