I enjoy trying out strange and fun things. I've heard that Magnetic Hill was one of Eastern…read moreCanada's best known tourist attractions, which is touted as a GRAVITY DEFYING attraction where you drive your car to the bottom of the hill and your car rolls uphill in neutral. Wow!!!! Having been very disappointed by a similar attraction named "Spook Hill" located over 3,000 kilometers away in Lake Wales, Florida (http://www.yelp.com/biz/spook-hill-lake-wales), I decided to check out Magnetic Hill to see if my car did roll uphill this time. Located off of TC Highway 2 Exit 450 (Highway 126) adjacent to the Magic Mountain Water Park and Wharf Village, there are plenty of signs directing you to the Magnetic Hill attraction. A $5.00 per vehicle gate admission is charged (during peak season), and you are directed to a staging area to read further instructions (in English/French): 1) Drive in right lane to the bottom of hill. 2) Pull over into left lane beside white post. (where the paved section becomes a dirt road) 3) Place vehicle in neutral. 4) Release foot from brake. 5) Guide your vehicle backwards up the hill. Reluctantly with skepticism, we followed the instructions to a T and guess what????? Surprisingly to us, OUR CAR SEEMED TO ROLL BACKWARDS UPHILL FOR OVER 700 FEET!! Well, Magnetic Hill is actually an ILLUSION with the surrounding terrain disguising the true horizontal level of the ground. The "secret" behind Magnetic Hill is illustrated on a sign at the adjacent Wharf Village (check out the posted review picture). This roadside illusion was pretty cool. Overall, this pitstop off the highway was worth checking out on our way to Prince Edward Island. Now I can say that I've been to both Spook Hill in Florida and Magnetic Hill in New Brunswick, being impressed by the latter. That's my 1,100th Yelp review, and first milestone review in Canada, eh!

We've been to many trampoline parks, but this one had a unique variety of separate activities to keep the kids busy and having fun.

Roo's Playhouse lives in the Greenwood Mall. I am sure it is popular with all the military families…read moreand if my family lived closer I could see us coming here all the time. It is a bargain at only $5 per kid to have your kid play here all day. There is a track with peddle cars, ballpit, inflatable pirate ship bouncy castle, climbing wall and lots of other things to keep the kids busy. I have been here with the kids for several hours and it always have to pull them out when it is time to leave. There is plenty of seats and tables for parents and wifi. They also allow outside food and drink so you can get a Tim's from the Mall and bring in with you. The staff are friendly, engaged and good with kids which is not a give in at some places. They also seem to keep busy tidying up after the kids and washing toys. The lady that was on duty in the play area pushed my little guy on a swing. They are the only playplace I have ever seen that offers a child minding service. This is $5 a kid per hour. You are not supposed to leave the mall while your kid is being cared for. The only things I could knock it for was that the place is showing a lot of wear and tear and could do with some freshening up. I also don't like the arcade games- there is a gallery of them right by the play area for little kids. They run in loud demo mode so that you can hear bloops and bleeps all over the place. The way things are set up you have to pass right by them to get to the play area and the game subject matter are not suitable for young kids. They also have lots of candy and junk right by the check out at eye level for kids. I don't like the suggestive selling to kids and it can make it hard to leave.

It's a water park!" There is more for adults to do than there is for younger children; you do have to be a certain height to go down most of the slides. But, there is a children play area as well! There are about seven awesome water slides; most are body slides but there is one you go down on tubes and another one you go down on a carpet! The slide line-ups are usually long, but they go by faster than you think. The walk up the hill to get to the slides is usually the worst part, especially in the heat! They also have whirlpool, a lazy river and a wave pool. And, dry activities like an arcade and mini-golf (at an extra cost!) You can rent a double inner tube for around $10.00 - great for couples or parents with children. You can use this on the lazy river and the slide! Inside are lounging chairs for your use, you can also rent lockers and there are picnic tables if you wanted to bring your own lunch! Bonus: There is a Beaver Tails located inside!

"The Rez" is my favourite place to enjoy the day with my family…read more Offers a supervised freshwater beach, a playground, picnic tables and hiking trails. There is so much to do! There is a wide, gravel trail (wheelchair accessible just make sure someone able to push through- took grandma & loved it) going around the entire rez (3.4KM) but off this main gravel trail is 2 dozen trails (no official map, just have to look for the openings!) My favourite trail we call "beaver trail" - named because you pass a beaver dam! (have never seen a beaver but always have my camera ready...) To get to the beaver trail: Go clockwise. The opening is 3 minutes after you start on the gravel trail - its wide enough for 1 person so bring your carrier. Also, I've been temped to let my dogs off leash in these trails but one day I came across 2 poripines (they left us alone and we left them alone, no harm) but from then on will not let me doggies off leash (as the sign states lol) There are lots of beaches as well! To get to the best private beach people bring their poochies to: Go clockwise around trail. When you come to bridge take the trail to the right (along the water) There will be other small trails leading off but keep going straight and you come to a beautiful beach. Get out, enjoy and make your own family map of the trails you discover

Moderate Hike and got to see some of the harbor and industrial side of Canada from the high point. Boat pup - Paulie - was a great addition chasing out the deer so that we got to see two sightings an older female and a baby running through the woods. There were some great small blueberries and cranberries too. Yellow mushrooms - dont eat those! After a little less than 1.5 hr hike through a small piece of Rockwood Park we were able come back to base and kayak, canoe, paddle boat, or bike boat on Lily Lake. If you have time you can grab a quick snack at the restaurant right on the water. Beautiful place to sit outside on a sunny day and just soak up some nature. Wildlife in the area - raccoons, moose, deer, insects, porcupine, skunks, birds, Canadian geese, etc.
