The opportunities to learn or practice French in Québec City are endless. As the cradle of French North America, the city will immerse you in a rich, unique culture that brings new experiences and discoveries at every turn.
Big Family Adventure
Québec City is surrounded by a wealth of natural beauty, including Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier, a provincial park where children 17 and under get in free. Not a big hiker? Not a problem! You can float down the river aboard a small raft or inner tube—great fun for everyone, including children 5 and up. It’s a whole new way to see the outdoors!

Thrill-seekers will love the new double zipline across the majestic falls at Parc de la Chute-Montmorency that rewards the brave with a stunning panorama of this world-class natural site.
Head out to discover the region along one of the many well-maintained bike paths. The water games along the Samuel-De Champlain Promenade make a fun stop for the kids and offer beautiful views of the St. Lawrence River and the Upper Town.
Super Indoors Fun
Thunder and lightning? So not frightening! In Québec City, there are tons of things to do indoors. Nice try, Mother Nature.
At the Galeries de la Capitale mall, you can play all day in Canada’s second largest indoor amusement park, the Mega Parc. The name says it all!
Dive into a world of aquatic wonder at Quebec City’s Aquarium, home to 10,000 marine specimens and the awesome Grand Ocean tunnel.
Or enjoy the new Bora Parc, an indoor water park including 14 slides, a family pool, a river full of activities and more!
