Magnetic Hill is awesome, we put our car in neutral and it did in fact roll up the hill in reverse. Freakin' cool! The park itself is pretty small but the magnetic hill on it's own is worth the trip just to say you have done it.

We only went to do the optical illusion on the hill. It's crazy, really interesting. Might sound kind of lame from reading about it, but tis a fascinating optical illusion. Costs 5 dollars, totally worth it.

There's everything at Magnetic Hill. The reversing road , restaurants on the pier , zoo and Magic Mountain , Butterfly World across the street , go carts , and a golf driving range. This is a must for a days vacation or 2.

Magnetic Hill has been an attraction in Moncton for decades. Although the park has developed commercially over the years, the central attraction is still hill where you drive down, put your car in neutral and coast up the hill as if by magic. If the opportunity arises, have a look in the ditches on either side of the road to... More

For me it was a second time experience but my fellow traveler was not impressed. I think that the whole thing was over before she realized what is happening.

The Magnetic Hill sign is a good photo op. But the actual attraction is not so good. Your car is supposed to roll uphill, but you realize that it is really rolling down hill and it is a waste of $5. I guess it depends on where you are standing to watch the cars rolling.

We did only Magnetic Hill for $5 per car which was quite a phenomenon and did not do the theme park or zoo. Basically, you drive down Magnetic Hill, put your car in neutral, take your foot off the accelerator and brake and the car will magically go backwards up the hill. Cool! We tried it four times and thought... More
