Welcome to our corner of Wonderland!
Step through the Looking-Glass
Step through the looking glass into Shediac’s most curious collection of businesses, where Victorian elegance meets Wonderland-inspired whimsy. We believe in impossible things: that chocolate should be handcrafted with organic cacao, that board games and gourmet dining make perfect companions, that drive-in magic never goes out of style, and that the best BBQ is worth the wait of “low & slow” wood-fired smoking.
We forge fun with the dedication of master craftsmen, celebrating Acadian culture and local delicacies through a kaleidoscope of delight. There’s always room for one more at our never-ending tea party!
Curiouser and curiouser? Come see what we mean.
Celebrating the Acadian Terroir and Merroir
We take pride in our offerings and their artful presentation, celebrating the Acadian Terroir, its rich culture, and the wonderful kaleidoscope of identities that makes up today’s Acadie.
Inspired by Alice’s belief in six impossible things before breakfast, we transform the fantastical into reality. We do this every day, using the immersive and story-driven environments we’ve built in each of our businesses. We work tirelessly to bring grand dreams to life, ensuring each visit to our Shediac Wonderland is a journey into the extraordinary
Storybook Hospitality
Our exceptional storybook hospitality stems from the care we have for each other, ensuring our guild members thrive as their true selves. This allows us to craft and offer unique, personal experiences that we hope will become treasured memories our guests will love to share.
Located a mere 20 minutes from downtown Moncton and just 15 minutes from Dieppe, our Shediac Wonderland and its guild craft joy with the discipline of master artisans.
