In our latest travel video we showcase 21 things to do in the capital city of Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada in this top attractions travel guide. Fredericton is a city that offers culture vultures numerous historic buildings and attractions including top notch museums. For the adventure traveler or sports enthusiast extensive bike trails and the St John River offer endless exercise opportunities. This summer we travelled out to Fredericton, New Brunswick to visit family. With a few weeks in town, we decided to make a little video guide to give you a taste of Atlantic Canada. Here's a look at 21 things you can do around the city: GEAR WE USE Olympus OM-D E-M5 II: http://amzn.to/1OchS7t Canon G7X: http://amzn.to/1YdjsYX Olympus 14-150mm II Lens: http://amzn.to/1Y79zeM Rode Video Mic GO: http://amzn.to/1WDKtVM Joby Gorilla Pod: http://amzn.to/1PgoY5F SanDisk 16GB Extreme Pro: http://amzn.to/25KEErs SOCIAL MEDIA & TRAVEL BLOGS AUDREY: blog: http://thatbackpacker.com/ instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thatbackpacker/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thatbackpacker twitter: https://twitter.com/ThatBackpacker SAMUEL: blog: http://nomadicsamuel.com/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nomadicsamuel twitter: https://twitter.com/NomadicSamuel instragram: https://www.instagram.com/nomadicsamuel/ 1) Changing of the Guard 2) Haunted Hike at night 3) Kayaking the Saint John River 4) Government House 5) King's Landing 6) Old Train Bridge (Walking Bridge) 7) Waterloo Row 8) Farmers Market 9) Biking along the Nashwaak Trail 10) Odell Park 11) Highland Games 12) Historic Garrison District 13) Christ Church Cathedral 14) Legislative Building 15) Beaverbrook Art Gallery 16) Exercise along the St John River 17) Fine Art Gallery 78 18) Lighthouse on the Green 19) Science East 20) University of New Brunswick Campus 21) The Playhouse Visiting King's Landing was like travelling back in time. We got to see the interior of old homes, churches, and barns from the 1800s, and for those looking to get their hands dirty, there was the option of pitching in with some of the farm work. The garrison district is the historic and cultural heart of Fredericton. This is where you can catch free performances, join heritage walking tours, and watch the changing of the guard. The Lighthouse on the Green stands on the banks of the St. John River. Though it once helped guide fishermen to shore, today the lighthouse is a popular restaurant where you can enjoy some seafood or even cool down with an ice cream. The nice thing about Fredericton is that you're never too far from nature. The city has many walking trails and biking paths that are easily accessible, and that means people spend a lot of time outdoors. This former railway bridge is now popular with pedestrians. It has great views of the St. John River and the 2 university campuses that sit up on the hill. Waterloo Row is one of the prettiest streets in the city. It is lined with historic homes and mansions that look over the river. If you happen to be in town over the weekend, be sure to check out the Farmers' Market for some delicious eats! The Nashwaak Trail is part of an extensive trail system and it's great for either walking or biking. We managed to spot quite a bit of wildlife during our outing, including a Great Blue Heron, a beaver, and lots of chipmunks. Gallery 78 is the oldest private art gallery in New Brunswick and it hosts exhibitions throughout the year. Christ Church Cathedral has a very active music schedule. During the summer months they host choirs and recitals. Admission is by donation with the proceeds going back into the community. The Legislative Building is the home to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick. Guided visits must be arranged in advance. For art lovers, there's the option of visiting the Beaverbrook Art Gallery. This gallery features the work of both Canadian and international artists. Odell Park is a massive park located in the middle of Fredericton. It has many trails that run through the forest and some of the trees there are believed to be over 400 years old. It's a nice green escape and the perfect place to exercise in the summer. The changing of the guard is a ceremony not to be missed. You can watch guards re-enact a drill ceremony to the beat of a piper and drummer. For a spooky look at the city's past, you can join a haunted hike that takes you on a walking tour of Fredericton after dark. The university of New Brunswick and St. Thomas University have a shared campus with beautiful grounds. Even if you're not a student, the campus is worth a visit. If you're looking to catch a performance, then head down to the Playhouse. They host all sorts of music, dance, and theatre productions. And that's a little glimpse of Fredericton. We really enjoyed our summer visit to the city, and we hope you'll have the chance to check it out too! Music in this video courtesy of Audio Network

1. Loved this video!!!! Can't believe I was in it! At 0:28 I was the girl in the blue shirt! Ps: you should come in 2018 because we're getting a theme park! This was so awesome! Please make more vids in Fredericton! Thanks! (Your vids are AMAZING and well edited) keep on making vids! You guys are the VERY best!
2. The Canadian accent is so cute!! Haha 😅 **a British here x
3. My cousin died at the light tower
4. we don't do haunted hikes every night though
5. Ticks, ticks, ticks. Lyme disease and all TBD (tick born diseases). My grand parents and great grandparents are from St. John. Beautiful, but deadly. Lyme disease has been passed down to our current generation. So scary. My cousin went back and he died in his early 50s. He probably got bitten again.
6. i want to immigrate to it with my children and oy freind to live and work how can i do it
7. Looks boring but it's green and it has water.
   
   The only thing it's missing are mountains, or at least some hills.
   
   Coming from somebody that lives in Yellowknife NorthWest Territories, trust me citizens of Fredricton, it could be worse...much much worse.
8. Nice place to visit mid July to mid August but its not a very nice place to live. Way to much crime and police turn a blind eye... Google: shediac1981
9. I also really recommend going to Clay Café, a poetry joint where you paint potery then the fire it leaving your painting with a smooth glossy finish. Also unplugged. A small café in downtown Fredericton, where you can eat food and have beverages while playing unlimited amount of board games (provided) all for a decent price!
10. Thanks for posting this! I'm looking at Saint Thomas University for colleges because I'll be a senior soon
11. Great job I find most of these were correct and most of them I have done or have gone to.
12. interesante...ciudad de canada....
13. OMG I WAS IN THIS!
14. Nicely done! This is much better than anything Fredericton has produced to promote tourism.
15. looks like a fun small town!
16. I couldn't watch this the facts were not quite corrwct
17. i saw my dad lol
18. i live in fredricton
19. Why would you do a full shot of the back of the New Brunswick Legislative Building and not the front?  The front of the building looks beautiful.  You gave only a little partial shot of the front.  Your video is pretty good, but having moved from Vancouver I was surprised by the beauty and recreation activities here.  I don't think your little video really emphasizes the fullness of Fredericton.  I love the winters here.  It was the first winter I went through with lots of sunshine and bright snow.  Vancouver is dark, grey and rainy for 6 months of the year.
