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, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Regent Mall, The Playhouse Fredericton and Beaverbrook Art Gallery. Saint John is another wonderful option. It’s 45 miles away and home to tons of awesome things to see and do. Harbour Station, Saint John Imperial Theatre and Reversing Falls are only the start.
