Iconic Landmark!! Must see if you’re in the area. The Giant Lobster 🦞 itself is incredibly impressive, standing at 35 feet, It’s a great spot for photos, and the surrounding area is beautifully maintained, making it a pleasant place to spend some time. Visited on a beautiful Saturday evening, so peaceful to sit and relax. Kids really loved the place. There are informative plaques nearby that provide interesting facts about the lobster and the local fishing industry. The location is easily accessible with ample parking, and there are picnic tables and benches where you can relax and enjoy the view. The site is also conveniently close to local shops and restaurants, so you can easily make a day of exploring Shediac.

We stopped during a family trip around NB and on our way to Moncton. Only 20-30 minutes east of Moncton. One of NB's large object tourist traps, the lobster is a great photo op. Then explore the area with many colorful buildings for a rest stop, including bathrooms, ice cream shop, gift shop and paddleboat/kayak rentals. Explore the water behind the building and swing on the benches to take in the view. Then head down the street to experience the rest of the town. About 1 hour from the PEI bridge to the south.

A 15 minute drive from Moncton, the giant Lobster is just one of those novelty roadside attractions you have to see if you're in the area (Moncton New Brunswick). The smattering of tourist shops surrounding the Lobster are nothing special and can be found all over the maritimes. The city of Shediac is worth visiting and the people were fantastic. A special thanks to the staff at City Hall who reopened their office just to give my 7 year old son a free City pin. That is customer service and should be proud of.

It's pretty neat to see and to see part of the French Acadian culture. My only knock for this venue is the complete absence of parking for large vehicles (we had a dually truck and a 40ft trailer). We had to park on the outskirts and walk all the way in with a temp of 37C out. The tourist information building is a must see and if you can get in on one of their tours it will be well worth the trip. Our kids enjoyed this one and the thrift shop close to where we parked.

Pull over to take a pic with the town lobster, but stay to enjoy the warm breezes in the swings by the water. At low tide climb down and scour the sand looking for sea treasures and watching the birds do the same. Lots of activity around the water (paddle board rentals, gift shops, information centre), though all very relaxed. While we were there people were very respectfully lining up to have family pics taken with the lobster, one at a time. Very pleasant day.

A really fantastic sculpture, very realistic with lots of detail and great for getting selfies, especially with the steps added to get to the top. This was a must see on our trip, Shediac is the lobster capital only the world after all! Even if you are just driving through to get to P.E.I, it’s worth a stop to take a look and snap some pictures. We were out of season but from what we understand lots of shops and food places are open in the summer.
