I've searched around, both here and on google, and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.
The wife and I are heading to Mahone bay, NS on Tuesday, and will be there until Saturday. Officially, we're going to be there for a close friends wedding (I'm the best man and the piper), but we want to do some sight seeing while there.
Mahone Bay looks nice, but we want to spend Friday in Halifax. We just need to find stuff to do, and most tourism websites only have information about very "Touristy" attractions; Bus/car tours, museum tours (I don't mind museums... but there's a limit), "wine and cheese" artsy-fartsy kinda stuff or stuff that cost a lot of money for cheesy, kitchy crap... we're not into that. We only have a day and some of the evening to spend, and we don't want to waste it. So I figured, there has to be a few folks here residing in Halifax who could give me the low down on things to do.
So here's the kind of stuff we're looking for;
Military museums / forts; I know there's a fort there somewhere, but as much as I've searched for it, with out a name it's a needle in a hay stack.
Pubs, Bars, Clubs, Restaurants; (good seafood places, or Scottish/Irish pubs)
General fun stuff to do and cool things to see... You know, the "hidden Gem" kinda stuff.
We don't know what's there, so we don't know what else to ask about.
Any information would be greatly appreciated, and I'm sure this thread could be helpful to others who are planning a trip to Halifax.
BTW, for anyone who wants to get together for a pint while we're there, just let me know and I'm sure we could sort something out.
Cheers :cheers:
