A popular New Brunswick historic village is opening the door to residents for free this June, and it could be one of the easiest family-friendly day trips of the season.
Pass to the Past is happening at Kings Landing from June 7 to June 13, 2026, offering free admission for New Brunswick residents who pick up a pass from their local library.
What Is Pass to the Past?
Pass to the Past is a special Kings Landing event that gives New Brunswick residents free admission for a limited time.
According to Kings Landing, residents can pick up a pass at their local library and use it to visit the historic village during Pass to the Past week.
The event is described as a way for residents to experience their own heritage and explore one of the province’s most well-known living history attractions.

The village officially opens for the main 2026 season on Saturday, June 6, so this free-admission week happens right at the beginning of the summer season.
Where It Takes Place
Kings Landing is located along the Saint John River in Prince William, New Brunswick, about 20 minutes west of Fredericton.
The open-air historic village is known for its 19th-century buildings, costumed interpreters, heritage demonstrations, working farms, and immersive look at life in New Brunswick’s past.

It is a good fit for:
- Families
- History lovers
