Things to Do in Saint John, New Brunswick

[@robinchase2141]

Saint John is my mom's hometown and it's a beautiful little city. I love it there. I can't wait to go back.

[@canadamaisqueumsonho]

It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos, guys. One day, during the Road to 150 journey, I was wondering to visit all those places as well and today, inspired by you, I can watch your videos again and remember the places I visited in Canada. Your work makes a difference in people’s lives, never forget that.

So happy you both made it to Canada's first incorporated city and to The Fundy Trail! We love living here and hope you enjoyed your stay. We enjoyed doing your Canada 150 videos during our homeschool year as we explored Canada province by province. Looking forward to more of your Canadian adventures. My boys have definitely been inspired to see more of this beautiful country.

[@MustDoCanada]

Aww, that's so awesome to hear. Thank you and glad you've been liking the videos. Perhaps we'll have to do a Canada 160 down the road :)

I’ve grown up in Fredericton about an hour away, Saint John is amazing and always a good time. Good food, good people and always something fun happening. We would take road trips to go skateboarding there , lots of great hills to bomb and also a good skateboard park. Go visit and have and Alpine .

You forgot to mention WHY the falls reverse! Saint John is also home to the highest tides in the WORLD. The tides can change and drop so drastically that it causes the tides to swirl and reverse as a result. Also next to the NB Museum you could have gone into the Library which is one of the oldest libraries in Canada.

[@KalassinDracon]

Also if you like a little drama, Chipman Hill suites was featured on the television show "Hotel Impossible" in an episode called "Breaking Point" in 2014. The lady who owns it is a crazy person with too much money and alot of the staff quit after the episode XD

haha really? wow. Does she still own it?

[@KalassinDracon]

@@MustDoCanada Yeah, the funniest part is she has a fairly strong hotel. She brought him because she wanted him to say she was right about her struggle with employees and he was like "Uhm, you are a control freak."

Was just on a cruise and we stopped off at St John. Hands down one of the worst places I've ever been in my life and I've seen lots of bad areas in Europe, Canada and America. Extremely dirty, grubby, people walking around carrying knives and not a lot to see. The malls were empty which was a big indication that the place is obviously run down. The city has obviously put money into the waterfront to cater to the cruises but if you walk up through the town to the top of the hill it's a real eye opener

[@seanjohnson386]

Ummm,...Irving Nature Park is not 'outside' of Saint John. It is, in fact, well inside the city limits of Saint John, located in the city's West Side.

[@MustDoCanada]

True true. Messed that one up.

[@Tubbkin]

As someone who lives in northern new brunswick we are told that Saint john isn't worth visiting or living there. Right now it's one of the cheapest places to live in our province because with covid-19 most tourism area espically one of the best musems in new brunswick closed down. The malls are pretty empty compared to moncton and from people I know who lived there for university and stuff they said it was mentally draining place to live. I personally haven't been since I was like 8 but my moms dad lives there and even he doesn't reccomded it and he's lived there for over 30 years. Was surpised to see a video full of postitives lol

[@MustDoCanada]

I find there's always people who say that about where they live. There's people in Calgary who say its boring, and yet, it's often ranked 1st or 2nd best place to live in the country. Top 10 in the world. Local Winnipegers complain about it and we lived there for a summer and loved it.

[@TSTait]

I grew up near Saint John and then later in SJ. We moved to Toronto and then to Southern NB and I have to say Saint John is a terrific place to visit. There are lots of things to do/see, especially uptown and in the more historic areas. Yes, it’s a shame the museum is having some trouble with the building and funding but it isn’t the only thing to do or see. I still work in SJ and having spoken to (and see regularly) the Cruise Ship tourists in awe of the old city helps me appreciate what I take for granted. I’ve even had some tourists tell me it’s their favourite destination and plan their cruises on whether it stops in SJ and if it doesn’t they don’t book it. So, in conclusion, I would discredit SJ for being hit hard by Covid but commend their efforts to revitalize the city, specifically the Uptown area, and encouraging tourism.

One thing about Point Pleasant Park in Halifax. You can never drive through it and there's enough room for a car to drive all the way through it.
