Outdoor Activities
Endless coastlines, fresh air, wildlife, snow, sand, rivers, lakes and mountains make al-
most any outdoor activity you may be yearning for entirely possible. Prince Edward Is-
land's mostly flat Confederation Trail traverses the island and can be picked up from al-
most any point, while the coastline of the Prince Edward Island National Park has dedic-
ated cycling lanes that run along the beaches. The Halifax waterfront is also a great place
for family bike rentals. Canoeing is a Canadian activity
par excellence
, available in
lakes in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick while most sea-kayaking outfits throughout the
region cater to families. Skiing and snowboarding are available at small family-friendly
slopes in winter.
But perhaps the most exciting thing to do with all the surrounding seas is to set sail,
either to explore and feel the wind in your hair or to look for the many species of whale
thriving in the Bay of Fundy, Cabot Straight and the mighty Atlantic Ocean.
Eating Out
Fast food is ubiquitous in Canada so healthy eaters may find that the biggest hurdle is
finding food that's not fried. Cabins and family suites often have kitchens so you can
self-cater and in cities you'll find options fit for any type of diet.
Most budget to midrange restaurants offer booster seats and servers almost always
love children. As an alternative to kid's menus you can often ask for half portions of
mains on the adult menu.
