The Huntsman Aquarium is a wonderful place to take the kids when visiting St Andrews…read more This is the one place that my son requests that we visit when we plan our vacation. We visit at least once a year, with the exception of last year. Our favorite part to the aquarium is the interactive touch aquarium. This was the year that he had decided that he was going to touch the skate. Our brave little guy picked up starfish, hermit crabs, clams, scallops and other small creatures. He also pet the skate, over & over again. For the first time in over 6 years we were finally able to catch the feeding of the seals. They were the most animated that we have ever seen them, even before the feeding. There is a children's learning/play area downstairs. Be sure to snap a pic of the kids on the boat and play a game of checkers.

We arrived in time for the seal feeding in the afternoon. My son and I both really enjoyed that and…read morethe young men doing it were amusing and engaging. My son was crazy about the touch tank and still talks about it.

I enjoyed the tour (approx 20 min, $5 CD/USD) with the knowledgeable, friendly docent who took us through two stories of this well-preserved house (with a glimpse of the attic). The items in the house were explained by the docent, including the adjustable rope beds, the bed warmers, the kitchen tools and the portraits of the family. I left with a good impression of what life was like for the upper class in the early 1800's. Excellent!

The Merritt House is the oldest unchanged building in the city and now the Loyalist House, a museum depicting the way things were at this house almost 200 years ago. Guided tours (10-15 minutes) are given of two levels of this house and a peek of the attic. There are steep stairs in the house and up to the house, so a tour of this house is not wheelchair friendly. On Wednesdays through this summer, the Mayor's Tea is held in the Loyalist House. We happened to be touring on Wednesday and we're invited to tea with the museum staff. We enjoyed hot tea, fruit cake, cherry tarts, and zucchini bread over conversation with the staff and other guests. This was a great way to meet other people. Our Guidewas very informative touring the main level and upstairs level of the house. The Guide donned garb from the 1800s, but I don't think they made black Adidas shoes back then, hehe!! He did a good job answering all of our questions and sort of resembled the young man in the painting in the dining room. Overall we enjoyed this quick tour of the house.

Three floors, with art, science, literature, and a children's space, as well as plenty of New Brunswick history. My children spent three hours taking it in. On the top floor there is a play space for kids that was really well designed with a puppet theater, puzzles, art you can make, etc. The current myths exhibit on the ground floor was pretty incredible - my young kids went back for seconds, and it was enjoyable for my wife and I as well. The museum is adjacent to great food options so you can visit, get lunch, and reenter. Very impressive!
