Here we have provided you with information, pictures and links to learn more about the attractions of the Moncton area. In 1989 the slow transformation of the Magnetic Hill Game Farm to the Magnetic Hill Zoo began as the City of Moncton hired Bruce Dougan as zoo manager. The Zoo now began reconstruction of their exhibits one at a time, bringing in new exotic animals and new programs for the educational roles of zoos. As a result of the efforts of volunteers and staff, the zoo was awarded the Tom Baines Award for having achieved the greatest step forward in the field of zoology in Canada in 1993. Magnetic Hill is an example of a naturally occurring phenomenon that continues to draw thousands of visitors to the park every year.
Passengers watch in amazement as they seem to coast uphill without any power.
The land which surrounds and makes up the hill has several unique properties that create a landscape that can fool the eye . Today, the Magnetic Hill Park is North America s first municipal tourism industrial park, with private entrepreneurs like Magic Mountain, Wharf Village Gift Shoppes and Magnetic Hill Railroad developing attractions on leased land from the City of Moncton to expand the tourists appeal of our world famous Magnetic Hill. With over 800,000 visitors annually, the mysterious little incline, where cars and water run uphill, has fulfilled many peoples disbeliefs. Magic Mountain was opened on June 26, 1987. It is the largest man-made attraction in Atlantic Canada.
