Here‘s what my kids had to say about going to the Tattoo!
“I love it!” “I loved the flying Grampas” “Totally looking forward to going this year!” “I love it so much. I love the funny bits.” “It’s super funny!” “You should go because lots of people are practicing for it and expecting lots of people to come, so you should go! Lots of countries are coming to join it.”
The Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo is a week-long event held every year in Nova Scotia. The two-and-a-half hour family show is fast-paced – every scene only lasts about 3-6 minutes, so there is always something new to see and experience.
Looking for a taste of true Nova Scotia? There’s bagpipes, highland dancers and military traditions.
Hoping for something more modern? The Tattoo also features innovative acrobatic acts, modern music, contemporary dancing, trampoline routines and cutting-edge videos.
As it is only an hour from the Valley, the Tattoo makes an easy family adventure!
I have such vivid memories of going as a child that I couldn’t wait to take my kids. They loved it even more than I thought was possible! My boys who never sit still for anything, hung off every moment! They cannot wait to go back this year!
To make it even more accessible for families, this year there are more matinee performances. Show times are here

The Memory Lane Museum in Middleton has always been on my bucket list. Always with good intentions to go, we finally cracked down and made a morning of it!
Memory Lane Museum is located at 61 School St, Middleton in the old Middleton train station.
Here’s what the website says: From the exhibits in our museum, you won’t find a more complete reference and experience of what the Dominion Atlantic Railway was, and the influence it still holds today for Nova Scotia. Please, feel free to wander and experience the D.A.R. and bygone days of railroading through our site and museum. Plan a visit soon! We’ll be ready and waiting to serve you up some home-town hospitality as you browse through our extensive collection in the museum.
When you enter the museum, it is jam-packed with train artefacts. There are shelves full of old pictures, tools and train memorabilia.
The walls are covered in old uniforms and photographs. You are not sure where to look next!
But, you certainly can take a long time to look at everything. There were also three volunteers on hand who were there to chat with us as we went through the museum.
The boys’ favourite part of the museum was that there is a model train that runs high up around the room, and another smaller model train set.
They also got a chance to try out some Morse code!
Daniel said he really liked the museum because it wasn’t very big, and there weren’t a lot of information signs to stand and read. You just looked.
Because it is a mostly look-only museum, and most of the displays are not behind glass, and there are many artefacts, the museum might not be appropriate for smaller children who like to touch everything. Be sure to ask first what can be touched!
Behind the museum there were trains for the kids to explore and bells to ring!
As with most museums, this one relies on donations to survive.
So, be sure to sign the guest book (for their statistics for funding) and leave a donation!
Plan for about 45minutes to an hour for your visit.
Perhaps combine this visit with a trip to the Annapolis Valley MacDonald Museum which is right down the road from Memory Lane Museum.
It is important to keep our local history alive and teach our children about life before them!
