We know what it's like to be "new" in town so we've provided some handy information that will help make Chipman Hill Suites your home away from home.
A must stop through Saint John's marvelous pedway system is the City Market, Canada's oldest continuing Farmer's Market. You'll not only find this attraction a delightful diversion during your hectic work schedule but also the best place uptown for all of your freshest produce, meats, fish and bakery items. And be sure to stop by one of the many specialty booths for that unique New Brunswick gift!
Unwind after work at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre- this state of the art recreational facility offers more than just a full 8-lane competition pool. This centre offers learn-to swim lessons, top quality exercise facilities, weight training area, family programs and seasonal services.
Stop, look and listen at Canada's oldest and newest Museums - the New Brunswick Museum located inside Market Square. This award-winning facility will amaze you with their elaborate whale displays, Fundy Tidal Tower, Marine exhibits, ship building gallery and a whole lot more.
 Relieve the stress of the day with an invigorating walk around Irving Nature Park. Well known as "the Saint John Eco-Tourism Destination", this handy local attraction boasts over 450 acres of coastline, forest, winding roads and well groomed hiking and back-packing trails. Here you can enjoy bird-watching like cormorants, herons, sandpipers, geese - more than 250 species have been recorded in this area alone. Off the rocky shore, it's normal to observe Sea Dogs basking on the huge outcrops and if you're lucky you might spot a whale! Or take time to explore the Bay of Fundy's ecosystem on the ocean floor's tidal pools filled with sea urchins, mollusks, starfish and so much more. Check out our handy Tide Tables for best "exploring times".
 Treat yourself to a wonderfully elegant night out on the town sans top hat and tails at the Imperial Theatre, Atlantic Canada's busiest and most beautiful venue for live performances. The theatre has been restored to its original 1913 glory as a Victorian vaudeville roadhouse, incorporating state-of-the-art-theatre equipment with luxurious fabrics and elaborate lighting. Add renowned local, national and international performers to complete the perfect evening.
Looking for some great professional hockey action? A casual stroll away is Harbour Station which plays host to a variety of other competitive and exhibition sporting events, as well as large trade shows and concerts. So make sure to check their calendar of events often.
 At the Reversing Falls, witness the phenomenon of the Saint John River and the mighty Bay of Fundy engaging in an eternal battle. Played out twice a day, the world's highest tides in the Bay of Fundy churn and push the river's waters up-stream with tremendous force. And for those who dare, there is a seasonal jet boat ride that allows you to sample nature's force first hand!
And don't forget to check out the City of Saint John's Calendar of Events for all local festivities! Enjoy yourself in the best little city in the East!
