New Brunswick Family Day Trips & Destinations

Are you looking for family day trip ideas in New Brunswick? Well, we have a list of over 50 for you!

When it comes to family travel, I truly believe in exploring where we are from. Two summers ago we started a series called #StopToSeeNB, hoping to encourage more people to explore and visit our picturesque and heritage-rich province. In 2020, with the province in a state of emergency and our borders closed, we put together this resource to help you plan some day trips and weekend destinations in New Brunswick. This list will be updated and grow as we visit more places.

UPDATED IN SUMMER 2021
Our travels will remain a little different this summer, with some destinations not opening or having limited services. 

PLEASE check with each destination before heading out to ensure they are open and what precautions or limitations to service they have in place at this time. You may be required to wear masks, there may be closed areas or limited services.
