When we read this in Lonely Planet under the description of places to go in Monctoc, we knew we had to go. "At Magnetic Hill, incredibly one of Canada's best-known (though not best-loved) attractions, gravity appears to work in reverse. Start at the bottom of the hill in a car and you'll drift upward. You figure it out. After hours and out of season, it's free. It's a goofy novelty, worth the head-scratching laugh, but all the money-generating, spin-off hoopla now surrounding the hill overglamorizes what should be a minor attraction. Family-oriented attractions include a depressing zoo and a good water park."
That description was so dead on it was amazing! Right down to the "goofy novelty, worth the head-scratching laugh." We laughed and laughed and laughed ourselves silly.
We found the place.
We read the directions.
We tried it, but didn't figure it out. We watched others do it. We tried it again. We were so incredibly successful we just didn't know it. And we did it again and again and then one more time for a total of 5 times. It was an absolute hoot!

That is so cool! As a newer driver, I want to try it out! I don't think Mom and Dad would want me to drive to Canada though...oh well, maybe when I'm older.
