    In Halifax, we stayed in that city for 2 weeks in the Radisson Suite Hotel. My family and I decided to have a day at Atlantic Playland. But to get there, my mom drove us on the NS-213 Highway and on the Bedford Highway. While we were going to the Atlantic Playland, we saw the Alexander Murray MacKay Bridge that was on the Circumferential Highway. It was first opened in 1970 and crosses the Halifax Harbour. When we arrived at the Atlantic Playland, we got super bracelets for the whole day. One of the Largest attractions that I have ever been to is the Gravity House. It had a magic mirror inside that house and spooky creatures on the roof which doesn't scare me that much. The Next thing I did at the Atlantic Playland is going down the waterslide with my family. Each of us had to go down the slide one at a time to get soaked on the hottest day of the summer. After going down the waterslide, my family and I went  to the Carousel Café to eat there. What I ordered in the Café was a combo of a cheeseburger, crispy fries and a Kool-Aid Slushie to cool down.  It tasted good because it has good flavours inside of each food. After we ate at the Carousel Cafe, we went on the ferris wheel called "Big Ellie". Big Ellie was the largest attraction and we rode it 10 times as the time goes by because it was nearly the highest ride like the Dragon Mountain that was at Marineland.  On the Tilt-A-Whirl we took 7 minutes to ride on that attraction each time because the park was almost close and I wanted to ride on it for the last minute. When we left the Atlantic Playland, we travelled to another city which I am going to write next. I think that Halifax is a nice city to stay for just 2 weeks at the Atlantic Playland which it was the most fun of this trip.
