Peggy’s Cove and Halifax – May 17 and 18, 2022
Activities: We visited the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. We saw objects related to the sea, models, and real boats. We also saw the Titanic exhibition
Highlights: As adults, we enjoyed the Titanic exhibition, treasure hunters, and the 1917 exhibition. However, the children found it a bit long. "Nothing is really adapted for small hands." ✨
