- Often_on_roadNew Jersey420 contributionsWe were able to get tickets to this wonderful production, which was walking distance from our hotel. Fabulous theatre and production. If you’re coming to town, please consider going. I actually purchased the Cows hilarious T-shirt riffing on the comedy play in the lobby.

- ChaitanyaCambridge, Canada1,202 contributionsPeake's wharf is a good spot in downtown charlottetown to relax for a bit - get some food or get some shopping done.
Its a nice place to have a stroll/walk during the day or even at night.
Great place for photos and will probably one of the spots most tourists would visit just due to its location and everything it has available.Written 20 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They have a great selection of craft beer, and the toasted sandwiches are delicious. We received great service during both visits, and I highly recommend this place for anyone into craft beer and good food.Written 5 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DeanMurphy2020Orlando, FL7,542 contributionsConfederation Landing Park was constructed and opened in 1995. It involved acquire and decommission the former Texaco Tank property and redevelop it as a Waterfront Park commemorating the 1864 Charlottetown Conference that led to the formation of Canada. The Maritime provinces were deemed separate entities and colonies of various countries. Nova Scotia is Latin for New Scotland. What was known as Canada in the mid-1860s was the current provinces of Quebec and Ontario. The 1864 Charlottetown Conference united—or “confederated”—all of the eastern provinces into one country: Canada.
The waterfront park is more than just history. It’s an active area at the tip of Charlottetown. There are surrounding pubs, restaurants, shops—or a lovely place for a family picnic. As part of a tour group, I had little free time, but I did walk about the area, especially the adjoining wharfs and met many local residents. It’s a wonderful opportunity to enjoy water views and manicured nature.Written 2 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
