Q: My wife and toddler and I will be flying to Nova Scotia (from BC) in September for two weeks of road tripping. We usually avoid cheeze and tourist traps, and love the outdoors. Can anyone recommend great places to visit, and especially modestly priced child friendly accommodations (we're hoping to find self-contained cabins/motels en route). Thanks!
A: I live in Nova Scotia and work at the Age of Sail Museum, dedicated to shipbuilding. There is sooooo much to see and do in this province. If you like outdoors I'd say get out of the city! Near Digby you'll find many cottages and such for accommodations and Upper Clements park and amusement park for families and not far away Oak lawn Zoo. Ross farm near Shelburn is a family friendly farm which is a lot of fun. Near Truro in Shubenacidie is a wildlife park which is a lot of fun too. Parrsboro has the Fundy Geological Museum(dinosaurs) and then down the road to my museum! Further on is Chignecto Park with hiking trails and then the Fossil Cliffs, Heritage Models Springhill Miners museum. Amherst shore has warm water and beaches. Cape Breton is beautiful scenery and hiking etc. Check www.Nova Scotia Doers and Dreamers Guide.ca for all sorts of info. Have a Great trip and if you come to the museum ask for the manager and say HI!
