25 Family Adventures in Nova Scotia: A New Guide Book Just for Families
The new travel guide book, 25 Family Adventures in Nova Scotia is the first of its kind – a guide book just for families, just for the province of Nova Scotia!
From whale watching on Brier Island to staying overnight the Fortress Louisbourg in Cape Breton to spending the afternoon discovering the history of Africville on the shores of the Bedford Basin… there’s an adventure for every taste and every budget.
Brought to life with over 100 inspiring colour photographs, this Nova Scotia travel guide presents 25 chapters – each one a complete family road trip or day excursion somewhere in Nova Scotia. Helpful tips include how to get the best out of each attraction, as well as recommendations for family friendly Nova Scotia accommodations, affordable places to eat and drink…and even where to find the nearest restroom, grocery store or skate park!
There are also specific tips on travelling as a family in Nova Scotia. For example, did you know that families are often late to their tour with the Fundy Geological Museum because the maps are deceptive in that part of the province, or that cell phone reception is notoriously patchy on the (beautiful) road between Antigonish and Sherbrooke? Do you know where to get the best ice cream in Eastern Passage? Have you ever ordered a pizza to a hotel resort? Did you know you can get your family portraits done… at a Christmas tree lot? All this – and more! – in this exciting new Nova Scotia travel guide.
This thoughtful family travel guide represents the culmination of my travel experiences, including 11 years as a flight attendant, over two decades experience as an independent backpacker and tourist, the past seven years as a travel writer…and most importantly, the past 12 years as a busy parent here in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
These carefully curated Nova Scotia family adventures represent some of the most thrilling family travel experiences in Canada, and have been tried and tested by real people! If you are excited about planning your next family adventure in Nova Scotia, this book is for you!
25 Family Adventures in Nova Scotia will be published in April 2021. Pre-order now at Chapters.ca
