A family run horse ranch, Serenity Acres is a great experience. From the moment we arrived, we were…read morewarmly greeted. We were given a tour of the stables along with the history of the stables. From there we were introduced to the horses we were going to ride. We were invited into the horse stalls as the horses were groomed so the horses could get familiar with us. Once the horses were ready and saddled, we went outside where we were properly shown how to mount and dismount the horse. Off to the trail. The ride was a very relaxing hour horse ride through some trails, guided by Kristy, one of the owners. She gave us a history of the area as we rode, talked out the horses and all the while made sure everyone was good. The horses were very familiar with the area and very comfortable around people. All in all it was a very fun, relaxing hour. Upon returning, we were helped in dismounting. Once off, we had a brief chat with our tour guide, Kristy. She invited us to use the pool or saltwater hot tub they have on site. Perhaps on our next trip. My wife and I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone looking to go horseback riding. We were extremely comfortable and the horses were exceptionally well looked after. All in all, a great trip.

i went for a horseback riding today (sept. 15th 19)…read more the moment my girlfriend and i got there we were treated like we were a part of they're family. we both got to know each other and everything felt comfortable. taught us the basics (our first time riding) then introduced us to the horses that we were going to take for a trail ride. the ride was really beautiful, calm, relaxed, everything we were looking for was all there. after the ride we went to meet and pet other horses and donkeys. i would suggest this place any day. right when i got back in the car with my girlfriend, she told me right away that we need to come back for a horseback riding again very soon. i would rate 6/5 stars if i could. thank you so much everything was perfect

The Maple Tree Montessori School is a beautiful and calming space, designed lovingly for preschool…read moreaged children. I've been spending some time here lately, practicing yoga when class is not in session. The school is open-concept, consisting of one large room with hardwood floors and large south facing windows. There are lots of neat looking supplies for art projects, plus a full kitchen where I'm assuming fresh meals are prepared for the kids attending classes. If you're looking for a place to send your kiddies to preschool, you should look into the Montessori approach, which focuses on developing children's' skills in a safe and creative environment. If you have the chance to attend a yoga or meditation class here, you should take it. The space really is lovely and it's nice to be privy to different educational settings within the Halifax community.

Plus side, nice clean space and lots of creative supplies. Fresh baked muffins and healthy snacks…read more Montessori learning and kids yoga and music which is awesome. Teachers were very nice. Negative side, on top of a higher rate for this daycare, all food is not included; you must provide fresh fruit or vegetables daily for snack, there is no progress or feedback for individual students and they do not pack water for their daily park/playground trips as there no toilet in the park, and do not always get outside twice a day, as per standard. Also, the schedule is around the private school sked so if you are working parents, prepare to try to find care for your 4/5 yr old 18 days around Christmas, March break and the last two weeks of June (when there is no childcare camp program at that time of year). Felt like parent teacher night was just a general speech by the owner talking to/at everyone, only interaction with other parents was the last day, nothing to encourage relationships and friendships like other daycares I have experienced. Would be better if they gave individual feedback from teachers on how your child was doing, progress or creativity, even just something they did or if they had a good day, drop offs and pick ups could be warmer to make parents feel welcome.

There is nothing better then laying by a pool and soaking up some rays. Waegwoltic Club was founded…read morein 1908 and the name means " end of the Water". Private club for members and guest only allows you to enjoy the beautiful surrounding of the Wag. What this place has in store is what is called the Lido where is normally a chilly 68-70 degree pool equipped with diving boards and slide for the kids. Encased in a great deck you are able to enjoy the sun and then jump right in . A smaller pool is attached for the really little ones that can cool off after playing in the sand. The main pool is heated and will be broken into adult as well as open swims. Two other pools are available but one is mostly reserved for older members. Don't forget the 6 or 8 Tennis courts where you can take lessons or if that is not up your alley there is must more. Sailing, Volleyball as well as Wagg days where the kids are able to enjoy. Now the Wagg would not be what it is if it was not for the great Canteen that they provide to the guest. Fries and Sweet Potato fires with curry dip is a hot thing. There are other things on the menu as well as a little store in the main house for candy and treats. All this does not come cheap between $600-$800 you will be able to have some relaxing fun.
