Gatineau Park Visitor Centre

Nice, but very crowded during the week-end. Almost fight with a lady for à parking spot. Also the bellvedere of Champlin was closed for cars...Don't go there in the week-end.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Because of her recommendation, we enjoyed a nice walk to see the fall foliage and a fall.

One of the best Parks I have seen in Canada until now, what an amazing, awesome, wonderful forest very quiet. We enjoyed a lot walking around crossing the bridge, I like that the people do not throw anything in the grass and it's very clean 👌 and well organized.
I love this Country.
Really Canada 🇨🇦 is an Fascinating country

Nice place must visit. there is 1.9km Sugarbush trail. there is a free shuttle service on weekend and holidays during summer and fall. many road access to private vehicles are closed during weekdays to plan ahead and search before going. ice cream shop and restaurants nearby. they center is good have clean washrooms and staff is friendly and give detailed information.

A beautiful park with so much to see and so much wildlife... Unfortunately we were there on a Tues and most of the parks trails and car parks are only accessible on a weekend and a Wed!! A shame as this was are only chance to see this amazing place whilst we were visiting Canada. I recommend planning your visit carefully.

Went to get a map and understanding of the area. They spoke French and English and provided me with a photocopy of the trail black 15 blue 15 blue 36 to pink Lake. They were very helpful courteous. They had small displays and some souvenirs. They can also guide you on which roads are closed where the parking lots are and parking fees if needed. If you are planning on attending any area in the park, I would stop in first just to get the lowdown.

Great place for kids to visit and learn about the flora and fauna at the Gatineau Park! Kids enjoyed learning names of the animals and identifying their sounds! Good interactive activities and a workbook!

Great park. Loved the experience centre. Use Google maps to find trail entrance

The park is beautiful and this visitor centre was very informative with the exhibits. The staff was friendly and helped me find trails to hike in the park.

A beautiful sunny relatively warm March day so we ventured out to enjoy some sunshine and nature with a stop at the Gatineau Park Visitor Centre. The centre itself is beautifully constructed and completely accessible to wheelchairs in addition to some of its adjacent paths leading from the Centre. Inside the centre there is an information centre with recommendations for local sites or planning your visit at the centre, plus a selection of souvenirs for visitors. The are fully accessible washrooms and a nature museum with a history of the park and its wildlife inhabitants. The area next to the centre also has spaces for a picnic and benches. We took a short walk through the woods across a steel bridge over a small creek and enjoyed the quiet peace of the ancient forest that surrounded us. Lots of dog walkers on that Sunday and we had the chance to meet a few new 4-legged friends. Across the street from the centre there are several merchants and a variety of local restaurants/bakery. The photo attached is from the National Capital Commission library and features the interpretive display of wildlife and history of the park.
