Check out the gravity hill optical illusion at Magnetic Hill Park. Discovered in 1931, the Moncton hill area became a popular tourist attraction where people flocked to see the mysterious illusion for themselves. For a small fee, you can drive your car to the spot at the bottom of the hill and put it in neutral, at which point it will seemingly begin to roll backwards, uphill. The area also features a zoo and a water park. Make Magnetic Hill Park a part of your Moncton vacation plans using our Moncton trip planner.

  • Very beautiful place to visit in Moncton.
  • Best 9$ I've ever spent. Due to the time of year not all the animals were even out but it was still amazing for the kids and can't beat the price!
  • We went to magnetic hill park to experience magnetic hill. When we got to the hill itself, it was an absolute cluster F of vehicles going in all directions. They tell you to move over to the left lane beside the white post. Vehicles were trying to exit in the same lane. While we were waiting our turn, the guy in front of us got out of his vehicle and started yelling at us to put our vehicle in neutral and start rolling backwards even though it wasn’t our turn. Once we had our turn, it wasn’t what it’s cracked up to be - in our opinion. You’re rolling backwards down a slight grade to gain momentum to go upgrade? We got frustrated and left. If anyone from the park Is reading this review, please take note that there needs to be staff coordinating traffic in this area or more signage in place in the area to direct people in lanes and where to wait their turn. As someone else stated in their review, it’s only a matter of time before there’s a fender bender. I’m sure the rest of the park is a great attraction, but until this park sorts out this traffic coordination issue, don’t waste your money and time on this.
  • Magnetic Hill is a great novelty to check out on your way through on while staying in the area. The park has been fully capitalized with gift shops, restaurants and even a water park. It is a truly unique spot to visit and doesn't take too long to check out. 10/10
  • It's nice place to enjoy your weekend😊
