Eintritt 1 Person - Besuch des Acadian Historic Village

A great Acadian history lesson. From the moment you buy your ticket, there is a short interpretive movie explaining some of the history and then your off walking through an actual working village where every building/home has someone in period costume portraying life as it would've been. Very knowledgeable on the history of the building as well as the people who would've lived in them as well as answer any questions you may have. They have been building/adding on over the years, with a whole new section added since my last visit 40 yrs ago. There are a few spots to stop for a drink or snacks along the way and of course a souvenir store. A very enjoyable experience that is well worth a visit.

This attraction has been around for many years and is both well-run and extensive. The cost is fairly high ($84 for two adults, two seniors and a child) but when you get inside, you understand why that is the case. There are many hands-on demonstrations and historical explanations with the cosplayers who are in every building, of which there are many and the village is broken into three zones based on periods in history. Having Acadian ancestry myself, I was interested to learn of my own family's legacy. There is a restaurant on site as well as an educational film. Because of the history being presented, there can at times be some translation issues between French and English but those are easily overcome. The one drawback would be for people with mobility issues as there are some long walks and the houses can be difficult to navigate. Luckily, there is a shuttle between the post office in the final area (1950s) to the main building at the end of your visit. Overall, it is a positive experience and worth seeing. Plan to spend almost a full day.

Superbe visite ! Ça prend environ 2h30 faire le tour du village. On apprend énormément sur l’époque. Les acteurs sont super bien renseignés et notre grande de 7 ans a beaucoup aimé et la Mini de 2 ans a suivi grâce aux nombreux animaux à voir ! Pour les enfants, ça été très révélateur de la chance qu’ils ont de grandir dans une époque où ils peuvent rester des enfants aussi longtemps et où les filles ont accès au même traitement que les garçons ! Vraiment à faire !
