Nova Scotia, New Brunswick & Prince Edward
Island for Kids
Between learning about pirates on antique sailing vessels, playing on low-key beaches
and climbing to the top of lighthouses, it's impossible to make a bad decision about
where to take your kids in these provinces. Canada caters better to families than nearly
anywhere else in the world and the mix of coast with forest, easy to manage cities and
lakes galore make this region a top choice in the country. The food isn't daunting, people
are exceptionally friendly and there's a prevalent sense of peace and welcome.
Museums, Monuments & Lighthouses
Halifax, Saint John and St John's all have science museums that specialize in hands-on
activities to get all ages involved, while at historic sites strewn across the region cos-
tumed thespians get you right into the period and often have demonstrations of
everything from blacksmithing to cooking. At some of these places there are also puppet
or theatrical performances for children and other events such as hayrides. Teens often en-
joy these sites as well, since they are large, diverse and great for exploration.
Lighthouses seem to be perched on every headland and you can climb up to the top of
many, usually for a small fee. If you're lucky there'll be a hand pump horn to set off.
