3. Insta Worthy Moments

Finding fun things to do with your partner in Fredericton is so easy, you could call it a walk in the park! The city is home to a beautiful 333-acre woodland known as Odell Park, where couples can stroll, ski, or snowshoe along the 16 km of groomed trails. Why not bring a camera along and turn your everyday stroll into a winter wonderland photoshoot? This forest scenery is sure to bring out the most insta-worthy snapshots in town.

9. Date Skate! 

Grab that special date or friend and hit up one of our indoor or outdoor skating rinks. If you're planning an indoor skate, you will need to book your free skate online, first. After spending some time on the ice, grab a nice cup of warm hot chocolate from one of our delightful cafés!
