While vacation in the northern Maine, we opted to cross the border for the afternoon. We asked the…read morelocals some spots that we should hit up. One local recommended exit 153 for lunch and right next-door was potato world. We drove about 20 minutes down the highway. Once inside potato world, you could pay to see the museum, which is $6 Kadence did you preheat the oven OK per person some are cheaper than others depending if you are a senior or a child under 12. We did not have time for the museum, but we wanted to get some french fries and try some Canadian poutine and a couple other items from their menu. My husband opted for The potato world poutine I tried a little bit of it and really enjoyed it. My husband was elated that he tried poutine in Canada versus somewhere in the states. One of the highlights while visiting potato world was experiencing my first french fry charcuterie board. As that may seem simple to some, I'd have to say it really delivered. You choose between two seasoned french fries and you get six sauces. We opted for the curly fries and the Parmesan and herb fries. The Parmesan and herb fries were really tasty. I couldn't tell you what the sauces were because I didn't have a menu in front of me, but they were all pretty good. I don't think I had one sauce that I didn't like. Then I sampled a strawberry smoothie was more like a strawberry milkshake with potato flakes. It was something different, but it was actually pretty good. Lastly, we opted for the chocolate potato cake. It's basically a chocolate cake with potato flakes and it was really good. The icing really complemented it. It wasn't overly sweet. It was just the perfect sweetness for myself. Our waitress was so patient and kind with us. She taught us how to say poutine correctly. Pricing was on point I think for all of the items it was $54. For those reading this today , July 12 is national french fry day and they are having an event there on July 12, 2025. Check out their social media pages where it describes what they have in store for the day it looks pretty fun.

These are the kind of local attractions that are worth seeking out…read more Full of character and local flavour, and as well great food for a reasonable price! I was a little too bummed out on my return trip home, (not happy leaving the maritimes so soon), to check out the museum and history aspect of this attraction, but it did look interesting. I had no ideal that New Brunswick had such a history of potato farming! I had heard about Prince Edward Island being known for the red soil and potatoes but not this story. Near this spot is a large McCains French fry facility, visible on your drive in, which is the multi-national frozen food manufacturer which started in this community. The structure housing the museum is all wood and gorgeous inside, similar to St. Jacobs market. Very cozy and warm, literally because there was a nice fireplace which I sat near when I had my lunch. The restaurant is full service and well staffed. I didn't wait long for my server to take my order and my food was on the table in very little time. Perfect for a stopover from a road trip. The prices are very reasonable here. I ordered a bacon and broccoli quiche along with their potato soup. Their menu is interesting with plenty of French fry choices, but since I love potato soup and my server mentioned it, I ordered that instead. Everything was delicious! I even ordered the potato-German-chocolate cake which was awesome as well. If I knew about this spot before, I would have stopped and had a meal for sure! Highly recommended and worth a quick stop to check out the French fry capital of the world!

The people and businesses about the area were great and quite hospitable... If you are in this area, I found more to do in Fredericton than I did in Halifax as a whole... plus a lot more to do on a budget as well. Look forward to a little more of Fredericton tomorrow before heading off...

I thought I loved these beautiful animals but Harold, the tour guide, surpasses my passion! He goes beyond anyone I know to explain in a detail and in a respectful way how moose live in nature to include their habitat, diet, temperament, physical features, mating season, difference between male and female moose, behavior etc. I could go on and on but you HAVE to experience this yourself! I just took my 12 yo grdson on a tour the end of July. He said it was better than Christmas! This was my 2nd time with Harold where I had taken another grdson. Both experiences unexplainable and wonderful! A memory they'll treasure forever! Call today and book a tour! You'll be so happy you did to see and learn about these amazing, magnificent animals!

I grew up in the Moosehead area and know it very well. I used to see moose about every 10 feet as a…read morekid. Between what I believe to be overhunting of the moose (I am not a anti-hunt person) and diseases they have suffered such as so many of the young ones dying recently of ticks, they are far and few between. I took my Granddaughter on her first trip to Maine this past July. I knew we had a very short time there and moose were very scarce. Although I knew the area well, I had not been back to Maine in sometime. I knew the best opportunity for my granddaughter to see a moose would be a person who is very experienced in finding them, as well as being out there each and every day. I certainly chose the best guide in Amber of Moosehead area guide service. Her knowledge of the Maine woods, the Moosehead area and of the moose themselves was incredible. We had been out for a while and not seen a moose. She told my granddaughter that she had to get out of the car and do the Moose dance if she wanted to see a moose. Amber looked at me and whispered, I can see she is getting a little sleepy as we started at 4:30 AM in the morning. I thought this would give her a good break. Amber did teach the most dance. It was so funny because minutes after she taught my granddaughter how to do the Moose dance we came upon a beautiful moose. My granddaughter was so excited and I was so happy we had such a knowledgeable, kind, and sweet person as Amber. If you ever get to Maine and want to see a moose, I highly recommend booking your trip with Moosehead area, guide service and Amber. Maybe she will even teach you the most dance.
