Whether you’re planning a trip to Nova Scotia, have family coming into town, or just want to be a tourist in your own province, we have you covered.\u00a0 Choose to stay on the mainland, or head to the mountains of Cape Breton; either way, you\u2019ll encounter friendly folks, reasonably priced accommodations, and plenty of things to do in Nova Scotia. For play, think beaches, lakes, whale watching, fishing, antiquing, wine tours, and downtown city fun along Halifax harbour. Food-wise, you are spoiled for choice with fresh, delicious seafood and fish n\u2019 chip trucks at nearly every turn. Don\u2019t forget to sample the local beer and wine \u2013 our humble province is becoming a hotspot for sommeliers and beer connoisseurs!<\/p>\n

Here are 10 things to do in Nova Scotia with kids, with plenty of useful links so you can book ahead!<\/p>\n

1. Be a Tourist in Downtown Halifax<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Your first stop in Nova Scotia\u2019s capital should be the incredible Halifax Citadel<\/a> \u2013 a military fortification at the top of the city. Enjoy local folk art at The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia<\/a>, set aside an afternoon for the new Science Discovery Centre<\/a>. or just spend a day strolling through all the markets, kiosks and entertainment along the waterfront. If you\u2019re adventurous rent a bike, Segway or I Heart Bikes.<\/a> And don\u2019t forget Halifax\u2019s hip little sister, Dartmouth, just across the harbour. You can take a ferry ride across to Dartmouth for $2.50.<\/p>\n

2. Explore your Genealogy at Pier 21<\/span> <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Located at Pier 21, the Canadian Museum of Immigration<\/a> has passenger lists and ships\u2019 records for most landings up to 1935. If there is anyone in your family tree who came to Canada as an immigrant or refugee, you can research their history. Don\u2019t forget to explore the excellent exhibits in the museum itself \u2013 there are some wonderful interactive exhibits for kids.<\/p>\n

3. Stay Overnight at Peggy\u2019s Cove<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Beautiful Peggy\u2019s Cove lighthouse is an iconic Maritime treasure. Clamber across the enormous granite boulders and grab a selfie next to one of the world\u2019s most photographed lighthouses. Inside the Sou\u2019Wester restaurant, treat yourself to a piece of warm gingerbread \u2013 the house specialty.\u00a0 Why not turn your day trip into an overnight adventure? For luxury, stay at The Oceanstone Resort.<\/a> For upmarket, Instagram-worthy cottages, try Lighthouse Lane Cottages<\/a>, and for cheap and cheerful motel accommodation with a priceless view, book a room at the Clifty Cove Mote<\/a>l.<\/p>\n

4. Relax at White Point Beach Resort<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

American families have been traveling to the South Shore of Nova Scotia since the 1920\u2019s and many of them would take a cottage at the locally famous 90-year-old White Point Beach Lodge<\/a>. For an all-inclusive holiday that feels like you\u2019ve stepped back in time, rent a cottage on the beach, take your meals in the grand dining room, and pet the wild rabbits that live along the shore. White Point Beach is a truly magical step back in time, and something one of the best things to do in Nova Scotia with kids if you love making simple, summer memories.<\/p>\n

5. Drive the Cabot Trail<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

As soon as you drive across the Cape Breton causeway, you will feel like you\u2019ve entered another world. The drive along the Cabot trail is considered one of the world\u2019s best road trips, especially in the autumn when the leaves are changing. Along the way, discover the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, the Alexander Graham Bell Museum<\/a> in Baddeck, and the Fortress Louisbourg National Historic Site<\/a>. Give your family at least four days to explore Cape Breton \u2013 any shorter and you will be disappointed.<\/p>\n

6. Put Your Toes in the Sand<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

You’re never more than 30 minutes from a beach in Nova Scotia \u2013 there\u2019s always a spot to cool off or relax in the sun. Many of the beaches have soft white-brown sand. Some, like Hirtle\u2019s Beach<\/a> on the South Shore, are a treasure trove of sand dollars and shells. Martinique<\/a> and Lawrencetown<\/a> beaches are great for big waves and surfing. Queensland beach<\/a>, Cleveland beach<\/a> and Crystal Crescent<\/a> are local favourites near Halifax.<\/p>\n

7. Devour a Lobster Supper<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t leave Nova Scotia without enjoying a traditional lobster supper, with melted butter, coleslaw and soft bread rolls. Don\u2019t worry if you\u2019re not a pro \u2013 all the tools will be provided and waiters will happily show you how to break the shell, and pry out the delicious lobster meat. The further out of town you go, the better the fare \u2013 try the Shore Club in Hubbards<\/a> for one of the best (this year, they’re doing it Covid-style). If you’re craving lobster in the winter, catch the South Shore Lobster Crawl<\/a>, a laid-back culinary festival that happens each February.<\/p>\n

Here are 5 Ways to Dine on Nova Scotia Lobster that will Definitely Surprise You.<\/a><\/p>\n

8. Sleep in a Caboose<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the quirkiest things to do in Nova Scotia with kids is to sleep overnight at the Train Station Inn<\/a> in the town of Tatamagouche on Nova Scotia\u2019s North Shore. Sleep in a refurbished caboose or boxcar and enjoy a delicious local menu in the dining car. Explore the town itself and the nearby coastline for warm, shallow water, great for swimming.<\/p>\n

9. Go Whale Watching<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Whale-watching tours can be booked in advance, or by chance, depending on the season. Try Digby Neck and Brier Island for great opportunities to see whales and other sea life. We recommend Mariner Whale and Seabird Cruises<\/a>. Don\u2019t forget to bring a warm jacket and sunscreen.<\/p>\n

10. Taste the Annapolis Valley<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

In the Annapolis Valley, marvel at the red mud flats of the Minas Basin, which boasts the highest tides in the world. Have lunch in the pleasant university town of Wolfville<\/a>. In October, Wolfville is the quaint location for an international giant –\u00a0Devour!, <\/a> the world\u2019s largest film and food festival. And of course, simply picking apples is a great day out.<\/p>\n
