Things To Do in Quebec City with Kids
Quebec is a very family-friendly and extremely safe destination with interactive museums and fun shopping. The old part of the city is completely walkable with many attractions located close to each other. Typical of most Canadian cities, there is ample green space and as many activities in winter as in summer.
Quebec City can have a few very hot, humid days each year, but generally it is a cool city with a wind coming up the river. While almost all services are available in English, Quebec is overwhelmingly French-speaking. This offers children the opportunity to try a few words like s’il vous plaît (please) and merci (thank you).
1. Fortification Walls
Historical Landmark, Architectural Landmark
The entire wall system around Vieux-Québec is 2.9mi (4.6km) long and can be walked, either on top or on adjacent paths. This is a fun activity offering spectacular views of the Saint Lawrence River and the Old City of Quebec, and there are also many interpretive panels along the walk. Quebec takes its history seriously, and the walls have been meticulously restored.
2. Museum of Civilization

4. Quebec Aquarium

5. Plains of Abraham, the Battlefields Park

6. Méga Parc des Galeries de la Capitale
Amusement Park
Quebec can be rather rainy, and certainly cold and very snowy in the winter. As a result, the Méga Parc is a large indoor amusement park. This may not be the most cultural experience, but it’s definitely really fun for kids when the weather does not cooperate. The park is located on the north side of the city and is attached to the shopping centre. There are 18 rides and, of course, an ice rink.
