Shubenacadie Provincial Wildlife Park

Arctic Wolf

The next day we passed by Hopewell Rocks (another spot we had previously visited, which I would recommend) and continued on major roadways. Most of the day was spent going around the Bay of Fundy. We’d see low lands filled with mud, often quite far upstream from the Bay itself. When the tides can be 12m in difference, a lot of land gets flooded at high tide. We stopped at the Shubenacadie Provincial Wildlife Park. This is a fairly small facility, primarily displaying the wildlife of Nova Scotia, with a few exotic animals from other regions. It was a nice break, and would really be a great stop with children, since you they allow you to feed many of the animals. The zoo is of the old style, with a lot of chicken wire fences between you and the animals. But we saw a lot of interesting birds, arctic wolves, and perhaps the only moose we’ll see in Canada (true). 

Himalayan Monal

We traveled on to our KOA campsite near Halifax, managing to miss an important turn which took almost ½ an hour to recover. This KOA is just packed solid with people from Nova Scotia. The lady at the desk said that many folks come from Halifax to spend their weekends or a week vacation here. They had a small pool, but lots of things for the kids to do – play area, a bouncing pad that was quite popular, canoes, and bikes for rent.
