Downtown Wolfville has some great shops to explore. Check out The Market, Valley Girl, Realm, The Odd Book, and Rainbow's End, and the many other nearby storefronts. You'll find everything from local crafts to interesting books and quirky gifts.
Don't miss the Wolfville Farmer's Market, open every Saturday morning. It's more than just fresh produce – you can find handmade soaps, local jewellery, and even international food. It's a great place to experience our community spirit and start your weekend off right.
For a bit of nature, visit the Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens. There's something for all nature lovers here, from pretty flowers, to interesting plants, to tranquil gardens. Take a look at the Medicinal and Food Garden, the Walled Garden, and the Conservatory.
A walk along the dykes is a must-do. Start at the Wolfville harbourfront where you'll see our town sign – perfect for a photo! Walk in either direction from the Wolfville Waterfront Park and enjoy amazing views of the Bay of Fundy. Watch the famous tides change the landscape, and see if you can spot Cape Blomidon in the distance.
After all that exploring, you'll probably be hungry. Luckily, Wolfville has plenty of great restaurants and pubs to choose from. Whether you're in the mood for fresh seafood, locally-sourced valley cuisine, or international flavors, you'll find something to satisfy your taste buds. Our cozy pubs offer a great spot to relax with a local craft beer or cider. Wolfville eateries have welcoming atmospheres perfect for winding down after a day of staycation adventuring.
To cap off your day, why not catch a movie at the Al Whittle Theatre? This charming, historic cinema offers a mix of mainstream and independent films. Its vintage vibe and friendly staff make watching a movie here a special experience – quite different from your typical multiplex!
