With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore everything that Fredericton, 35 miles away, has to offer. Regent Mall, The Playhouse Fredericton and Beaverbrook Art Gallery alone justify the drive. Florenceville-Bristol is another great option. It’s 50 miles away and offers an array of fascinating things to do. Potato World, Andrew and Laura McCain Library and Gallery and Florenceville Bridge are just the start.
