Middleton Family Fun

Have you ever thought of spending the day in Middleton?

It’s a great place to explore and there are lots of things to do for family fun! Here are a few of our suggestions.

Go for a walk at Riverside Park

This lovely park is located at 80 Bridge Street, you guessed it, right beside the river!

When we arrived, a town employee was working on the park, and so he told us all about it. You can’t really see from ground level, but all the maple trees are planted in the shape of a heart along the walking trail – as Middleton is known as the Heart of the Valley!
The path is less than a kilometer, and took us about 15 minutes to casually stroll along the edge of the maple trees.

It is a lovely path to explore, sit on a bench and read, or just enjoy the surroundings!

Go to a Museum

Middleton has two museums worth checking out.

The first is the Memory Lane Train Museum. Memory Lane Museum is located at 61 School St, Middleton in the old Middleton train station.

It is full of paraphernalia from the days of the Dominion Atlantic Railway. There is so much to see here!
Read more about it in our blog post.

The Annapolis Valley Mcdonald Museum is in the old school house. There is a great scavenger hunt for kids and you can see an incredible collection of clocks!

Get a Bike

The best place to buy used bikes of all sizes is in Wilmot, right at the Middleton border. These bikes are in the driveway of a gentleman who lives on Route 1 in Wilmot across from Evans’ Family Farm Market. He also has bike gear and racks. 902-825-3624

Get an ice cream!

The Big Scoop is a great place to eat and has hard-serve ice cream.
