Top Rated Attractions in Summerside

Search Radius (Miles)
Summerside

Summerside often plays little sibling to the more popular Charlottetown, but, as Prince Edward Island’s second largest city, offers a picturesque waterfront, many museums for a town its size, and a burgeoning cultural scene. It also acts a gateway to the western side of the province and Malpeque Bay. Cultural highlights include a summer concert series of Celtic music and dance, and the Eptek Art & Culture Centre, which showcases local history and artisans. An unusual museum dedicated to the history of fox breeding is located inside the Holman Homestead.

Green Park Shipbuilding Museum and Yeo House

Visit the Green Park Shipbuilding Museum and Yeo House and gain a deeper insight into the lifestyle which prevailed here in the past. You can delve into the history of the once-booming shipbuilding industry and how the success of master shipbuilder James Yeo Jr. fueled the development of the Island. Additionally, admire the fine Victorian details which define the architecture of Yeo's house during your visit.

Green Gables Heritage Place

The Green Gables Heritage Place is home to the farm and stead that served as inspiration and later as a setting for Lucy Montgomery's most popular novel, Anne of Green Gables. Hordes of tourists and fans of the novel come here to have a glimpse of farm and to learn more about its author. Tours beginning in the visitor’s center highlight the life and work of the author, and pass to the Green Gables House itself. Visitors can also explore the Haunted Wood Trail, and the Balsam Hollow Trail, which are said to have inspired some of Montgomery’s writing.

The Farmers' Bank of Rustico Museum recreates the 1800's, housing exhibits on banking and the Acadian way of life. The Doucet House holds countless period antiques and furniture. It is also regarded as the oldest house in the Rustico area and quite possibly the oldest house on the island.
