Travelers say Halifax is best seen on foot, so park the car and start walking. Immerse yourself in Halifax's rich history at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, and be sure to survey the city from the 18th-century Citadel National Historic Site. Then walk into any of Halifax's great bars and restaurants and catch some live music to round out your day.

Went with a large group and had a great time. These guys put on a fun experience with immersive environments. My group dominated Distress Signal, which included an actual fuselage and cockpit from a plane. Highly recommend!
