The Boardwalk Magnetic Hill

This place has changed a bit in the last few years. It's a little expensive but the kids love it. The paddle boats are always a huge hit, as is the waterballoon area. The cost of the season membership for the Butterfly World is still pretty good and there is a bouncy castle in that area.

Butterfly world in Moncton is just up the road from Casino New Brunswick and a part of the Magnetic Hill Boardwalk group of activities. We found it to be an interesting and informative way to spend about an hour and a half sitting and walking among the butterflies. Young staff caring for the butterflies were welcoming, eager to share how the exhibit works and all about the winged occupants. Butterfly pupae there come from from Costa Rica and hatch inside a cabinet standing in the centre of the geodesic dome. Visitors can watch the butterflies emerge from their pupae and flap their wings for the first time, drying them out in the warm air. This is a quiet, interesting place to visit for a reasonable fee.

Our first time participating in the games/rides at this venue.
Came here as a family with my wife Pat, our daughter visiting from Ontario with her friends son, Leo. All of us had a wonderful time while here.
First time Leo experienced bumper boats plus, not far away, water balloon sling shooting. Also first time Leo experienced bumper car's in the open with only sky above.
Leo and I enjoyed an 18 hole game of mini-golf.
Gift shop drew Pat and Rachel in. Both came away with something.
Too close to closing time so we missed out on the butterfly pavilion. Overall, a memorable experience, especially for the young one.

We did: Butterfly world, go-kart, bumping cars, batting cage, excavator and air hockey and finish it with a good ice cream. The kids had so much fun. We were only supposed to go to the butterfly world, but we spent much more time there. The older ones had a lot of fun unfortunately, there were a lot of things that were not allowed for my four year old, as he was not tall enough (48-54 inches) The line-up was not that bad, there were very few people.
