    Great place to do most, if not all, of your Christmas shopping. After shopping at all the boutique stores, we usually finish at Costco and Walmart. Then dinner at one of the several good restaurants in the area.

    Beautiful park with a big network of trails. Was quite busy on a gorgeous fall Saturday but was able to easily find parking. Lots of families enjoying the views and the trails. Plaques along the trails give you the history of the Shubenacadie canal. A great way to spend time in Dartmouth.

    Annually, the Institute opens its door to the public and makes a lot of effort to show what is does. Seven separate federal agencies work from there so you can see cutting edge technology as well as pick up and get to know some pretty odd creepy-crawlies. Tour large oceanographic ship and drive remote controlled vehicles. Have some sea-food chowder and talk to scientists about their work. It's a great day.

    Truly a beautiful and unique place to learn more about the sea. Our children, aged 4 and 7, were able to pet starfish, sea cucumbers and crabs and learn about the wonderful critters the reside beneath the depths. The staff were kind and educational. A cute little stop in Dartmouth. check it out!

    This is a lovely area, as is all of Nova Scotia probably. A pleasant place for a walk, quiet reflection or just relaxation.

    We took one of the two ferries from Halifax to Dartmouth, walked the trail, and then took the other ferry back to Dartmouth. A very pleasant walk with a numerous good views of Halifax across the harbor. I would have given it a five star review, if there wasn't for a small detour we encountered. The water company was doing some serious work.

    A real step back in time and a great story of how Dartmouth took off in the 18th century and the Quakers part in that. The staff are very knowledgeable and good at bringing the past to life.

    A beautiful place on a hot day like today, very open if caught in the rain. Great walking trails, marvellous layout with trees and flowers and great views looking over to Halifax Harbour. Animal friendly as long as you scoop. A great place of peace, where you can convene with mother earth.

    Dartmouth Sportsplex has many things to offer. Right across from the Hotel, handy the Halifax-Dartmouth Bridge, buses and downtown Ferry across the Harbour. It now has a great Exercise area with window views, Swimming area for the whole family, handy shopping and restaurants. The Christmas market is a great venue for Crafters and buyers a like. In the past have attended Concerts, other events. Lots of parking! Highly recommended.
