This was my 3rd visit to Fortress Louisbourg over the last 15 years - each time has been outstanding. We had our 4 children (ages 19, 15, 10 and 7) with us and they all enjoyed the visit. We split into 2 groups with the teenagers going off on their own to explore. There is an excellent interpretive program for children - my younger boys loved this. Lots of dressing up and hands-on activities. The activities are varied and the costumed interpreters really well-informed and engaging. This children's program kept us occupied all day.

Wendy and Brian's Great Eastern Adventure

After good stories shared over a delicious breakfast, we headed off - our destination (as highly recommended by our breakfast partners)….Louisbourg. Stopping for gas, I asked the service station attendant about directions - in that usual East Coast fashion, he said to me “You’re not lost darlin’, you just ain’t got there yet”
