Set in the geographic centre of the Maritimes, between the Bay of Fundy and the Acadian coast, the Greater Moncton Area positions itself as a hub where urban conveniences meet outdoor adventure.
The region, which comprises Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview, blends English and French Acadian cultures. Visitors returning from a Bay of Fundy excursion can unwind over a high-end meal, while those heading to the beach can stock up on cottage supplies before leaving town.
Outdoor draws
Among the area’s best-known natural attractions is the tidal bore, a phenomenon in which the powerful Fundy tides reverse the flow of the Petitcodiac River. Beyond that, parks, trails, golf courses and cycling routes give residents and visitors plenty of ways to spend time outside.
Family Attractions
Families have several options for keeping children entertained. Magnetic Hill Zoo offers close encounters with a range of animals, while Magic Mountain combines amusement park rides with water features. Resurgo, the area’s museum and discovery centre, aims to make learning fun for young visitors.
