Roundhouse Cafe - JOGGINS

Certainly, a must see if you are in the area. This is a unique place, but requires a climb up and down 3 flights of stairs that are not too strenuous. May not be appropriate for very small children, especially toddlers. There are fossils everywhere! Look for the lines from trees and tree branches. You have to be cognizant of the tides, as you can get caught in an incoming tide, especially if you wander too far down the shoreline close to the change in tides. Definitely recommend.

Fascinating history, worth a visit if you're in the area. We did the 30 minute tour which was plenty for 3 kids (youngest 6), and we spent an additional hour or so on the beach. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Be prepared for very different weather.

A beautiful and fascinating place! I wish I had more time to explore when I was there. I plan on returning one day and doing one of the guided tours!

An excellent opportunity to see fossils in their natural state. The fossils here are mostly plant based. Go on the guided tour if possible and don't be scared off by the steps to get down, there's appx 69 and are nice and even with a railing.

Take an interpretive tour! Very interesting and they show you what to look for. We found lots of fossils, you can't keep them though. We were allowed to keep beach glass, shells and broken pottery we found. It was very hot the day we went, bring water and sunscreen, once you start finding fossils its hard to stop
