A
York Sunbury Historical Museum
Housed in the 19th-century officers' quarters on the west side of Officers' Sq, this museum's collection preserves the city's past. Displays feature military pieces used by local regiments and by British and German armies from the Boer War and both world wars, furniture from a Loyalist sitting room and a Victorian bedroom, and aboriginal and Acadian artifacts. Don't miss the Coleman Frog, a 42lb creature of Fredericton legend. Real or plaster? Decide for yourself.

Science East Hands-On Science Centre
Once the end of the railroad line, this building now holds beginnings of science discovery. There's a dungeon museum as well as over 100 hands-on exhibits, from a shadow box and laser-beam writer to an insectarium where you might get to pet a giant stick bug. Ideal for kids.

Beaverbrook Art Gallery
This relatively small but excellent gallery was one of Lord Beaverbrook's gifts to the town. The exceptional collection includes works by international heavyweights and is well worth an hour or so. Among others you will see Constable, Dali, Gainsborough and Turner, Canadian artists Tom Thompson, Emily Carr and Cornelius Kreighoff as well as changing contemporary exhibits of Atlantic art.
