Garden of the Gulf
The Allure of Prince Edward Island
By AP Rodrigues
characters come to life as actors play out parts of the book. As well, there are pony rides, cow milking and music shows.
The Cruise Manada Seal Watching Boat Tour is another popular attraction with families. This award-winning interpretive river tour is a wonderful way to learn more about some of the island's marine life, such as harbor seals. You'll also get a chance to see these curious and playful creatures in their natural habitat. The history of mussel cultivation is also taught as the boat cruises by several farms.
"Be our guest" could well be PEI's motto. Families are made to feel right at home whether they are having a mid-afternoon snack or a grand lobster dinner. And there's no shortage of fun places to stay on the island as well.
Carr's Oyster Bar and Seafood Restaurant is the perfect stop for a family lunch for many reasons. Besides the food being superior, the view from their deck overlooks picturesque Stanley Bridge Harbour and New London Bay. Majestic Blue Herons are a common sight as they saunter about slowly in the water. After lunch, the whole family can enjoy a visit to the adjoined Stanley Bridge Marine Aquarium and Manor of Birds. There are various tanks of maritime fish and there's the opportunity to get up close and personal with some very entertaining seals.
A traditional PEI lobster supper can be enjoyed at The Millstream Barn Restaurant. The casual atmosphere is great for families looking for a laid-back place to enjoy some island seafood. There's a kids' menu, an all-you-can-eat salad bar and, on certain evenings, some of the local entertainment live on stage.
