General presentation
Hopewell Rocks et Moncton
The tides of Fundy sculpt monumental rocks here, close to Moncton's services and family attractions.
To understand what Hopewell Rocks and Moncton are, look at Hopewell Rocks, Magnetic Hill and Magnetic Hill Zoo. These places give us a view of a territory marked by the coastline, urban life, natural spaces and wildlife observation and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
World Heritage
Falaises fossilifères de Joggins
The Joggins cliffs expose layers of the Carboniferous forest where fossilized trunks, prints and remains of ancient animals appear. The tide of the Bay of Fundy constantly renews the natural cutting, giving the site an open but fragile and monitored book impression.
Place indismissible
Hopewell Rocks
Hopewell Rocks shows the power of the tides of Fundy in a decoration of columns of sandstone topped by trees. At low tide, one walks on the seabed between the rocks; a few hours later, the same passage disappears under the water, sometimes high enough to be travelled by kayak.
Place indismissible
Colline magnétique
The Colline magnétique Moncton plays with the perspective: a car in the right place seems to climb the slope on its own. The effect is the illusion of the surrounding terrain, making it a light, fun and very concrete stop, especially with children or travellers curious about visual phenomena.
Culture and heritage
Zoo de Magnetic Hill
Magnetic Hill Zoo is a multi-continental species that is part of a family site in Moncton, with trails, enclosures and child-friendly observation areas. The visit is a nice day after the tides of Fundy, between big felines, primates, birds and North American animals.
