criisingisthebest Posted August 29, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Toying with the idea of going to Irving Nature Park on our day at Saint John. Possibly in the morning and then head to the Old City Market for lunch. Thinking we can just walk back to terminal from the market. Looks like a taxi is the only way to get to the park. Will there be taxis available at the terminal? Once we get to the Park is there a way to get back?! Probably stupid question will the taxis take credit cards or will we need Canadian money?

appletree Posted September 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I would say you need cash for taxi, there should be cabs when you get off the ship, distance to Irving nature park would be about 10 minute drive, our taxis now are on meters, unless you can hire them for a hour or so, Irving nature park is really nice, you might get to see some Sea dogs in the water, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appletree Posted September 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 22, 2018 also if you went to the Irving park and arranged the cab driver to come back and get you at a certain time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

criisingisthebest Posted September 22, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Thanks for the info! Can’t decide between taxi out to the park or do the public transit tour. May just wait and see what the weather is like once we get there. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appletree Posted September 22, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I would think about 30.00 canadian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appletree Posted September 22, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 22, 2018 that was about 30.00 to airport not Irving nature park, a guess maybe 15.00 to nature park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melinda Brasher Posted September 23, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I'm thinking of going too, and would take the city bus the nearest stop, but I'm a hearty walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the last time we visited we walked to the shopping area to the left of the port (I think 🤔). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
