New exhibitions are constantly being rolled out, but their mainstays include a real suspension bridge you can walk across, and an opportunity to build your very own roller coaster!

It's situated close to the actual lake, where you can go for a swim in the summer and find a quiet space to relax.
Atlantic Playland is located in Hammonds Plains, just a short drive from downtown Halifax. Waterslides, Bumper Boats, Mini Golf, Batting Cages...even a Wax Museum! The Playland is the perfect place to temporarily escape the busy city.
What child wouldn't be fascinated by a place titled Chocolate Lake Hotel? It's situated close to the actual lake, where you can go for a swim in the summer and find a quiet space to relax. If you're not into lake swimming, the hotel has a pool and interactive games room.
Don't let the alehouse title fool you -- this place is kid-friendly and has a great selection of food. Show up early on the weekends for some live traditional music and even some dancing!
