Joined the trail behind Isaac's Way Restaurant and headed across the old railway bridge. Was able to ride on paved, then gravel trail for about 12.5 kms before I decided to turn back. Trail was well maintained and easily accommodated bike riders, runners, walkers, and strollers. On the way back, went down to the road into Marysville, met back up with the trail and took the branch trail through Marysville. A great place to ride and would certainly recommend the trail.

We have been to this escape room several times now and it does not disappoint. Spybot and Yellow Brick Road were both spectacularly done and very innovative in comparison to dozens of other escape rooms we have done. Would recommend Yellow Brick Road to all audiences and first time Escapees as it is a little bit easier than others. No shortage of fun with iSpy Escape Games.

One of Fredericton’s most beautiful and historic areas, Officers’ Square was named one of the Top 10 Public Spaces in Canada! It was a centre of military activity when Fredericton was garrisoned by the British and Canadian Armies. During July and August, it is the site for outdoor summer concerts, the Changing of the Guard ceremony, daily outdoor theatre, and a variety of festivals and events throughout the year.

Great spot to walk around and see the changing of the guard!! Lots to see and do in this area, its a great hub. Also watched some children's theatre activities here. On less busy days I liked to get lunch and read a book at a picnic table in the park. Public washrooms in the square too, and water fountain!
