Winter can be tough to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. It’s often too cold to hit the slopes or skate outdoors, but a sleigh ride is a perfect family outing. Just bundle up under a warm blanket and bring a thermos of hot chocolate, and you’re ready for a fun-filled adventure. Check out this guide to Winter Sleigh Rides in New Brunswick to plan a unique and exciting family outing.
Most Sleigh Rides in New Brunswick start once we have a good layer of snow, and it is not icy. Expect sleigh rides to start being available in mid-late December or early January.
