I've only ever been to the lighthouse for one reason: Fredericton's AWESOME outdoor summer yoga classes. Every Wednesday evening through July-August a local teacher offers an outdoor by donation class. It's a great way to try something new, and the proceeds support a charity of that teachers choice. I love it.

The lighthouse is an ice cream shop with tasty product and while enjoying it from the deck one can enjoy the view of the the St. John River and the opposite shore.

Great activities for the kids on the way to the top of the lighthouse. Great deck to sit on and relax and watch the action on the river.

Real lighthouses are fast disappearing, and well worth the visit, but this is a lighthouse improbably located on the shores of a river, and aside from selling ice cream and looking sort of cool, it's really hard to see the point.

Excellent customer service always. Beautiful displays, always a pleasure to visit the Lighthouse. It has very special meaning to us. A very special couple were married there a few years ago and the staff went out of their way to make everything very special.
