But wait, there’s MORE!

In addition to all of the FROSTival events, there’s lots more to experience in the city with the kiddies!

Science East – Besides being housed in what was once Fredericton’s jail (gaol), this interactive science centre has over 150 exhibits for the kids (and adults too! See Family Fun Exclusive Vacation above).

Unplugged – A Board Games Café – Leave the phones behind and “get unplugged”! Choose from a HUGE selection of board games to play (and to buy!), have some lunch and connect through board games!

Clay Café – Get creative! Spend a couple of hours creating a keepsake for yourself or gift to someone else.

Kingswood Entertainment Centre – A great place to let off a little steam! Do a little bowling or laser tag, kids can jump and roll on the giant inflatable playclimber or play some arcade games.

Outdoor rinks – There’s something nostalgic about skating on an outdoor rink! Fredericton is blessed with several; bundle up the kids and spend a few hours enjoying some fresh air and smooth ice!

Mactaquac Provincial Park  - a short 20 minutes from Fredericton, Mactaquac Provincial Park is a winter lover’s dream! Borrow cross country skis or snowshoes, try out the sliding hills, or go for a skate on their pond. One way or the other, it will be a full day of lots of winter fun!
