This is an excellent park, we were walking around here and about to go into a house when we realised we had to pay! There is a fee to explore this area but it’s a small fee which gives you a lot to look at. There is a lot of places to see and to learn if you are into this sort of history. We loved the views of the city from the different areas above.

A must do experience if visiting Quebec City. We loved interacting with the historical character actors and even had tea with the British commander's wife. Great value and a lovely memory.
Had a great time here, only 8.5 bucks for an adult pass. Very interesting historical landmarks, impressive scale models, and cool preserved artifacts. The on-site guides and actors were fun and informative, with a bunch of great anecdotes and also local recommendations!
This little museum and its grounds do not get the attention they deserve, which may be bad for the govt folks that track numbers of visitors, but is good for the weary tourist seeking a quiet place that lacks hordes of tourists. That is just one of its merits, the other for me was that it has so many exhibits showcasing reproduced paintings of how Quebec developed over the centuries. A diorama of the fort is the centerpiece of this endeavor. It becomes obvious, if you were not already aware, of just how much use of the upper town's natural environment in terms of the cliff faces were used to provide a natural defense. And in turn the town and many of its defensive walls grew up around the original fortifications.
We walked here from Lofts Les-Billie, and the kids enjoyed it so much. There was a re-enactment of the war between the French and the British, I believe, the Brits were being “hammered” in the narratives. The crowd loved it, but hey, this is Quebec, they can say what they like, but the French took a whopping from the Brits. The process was light hearted and lots of laughs. There are very good restaurants around the place, with lots of ice cream parlours to me meet every sugar craving taste. I found the prices in the restaurants quiet reasonable, and services fantastic all in all. We ate in a different restaurant and tasted varying ice creams almost every other day on our five day stay.
Big park with parking and street parking. There is a lot of construction during my visit (June 29/19) but overall still beautiful. Very historical, big ancient gate with walking house to visit city in town. They have giant wall, recommend to walk on the wall (nice view)
It's such a pretty and peaceful park. The flowers were beautiful. From the park you could view the Ottawa River and the parliament building as well as the back of a luxury hotel.
Great, small museum, hosted by the Government of Quebec’s Park Services, detailing the history of the fortifications and armaments used to protect the city. Many interactive family events, artifacts, and re-enactment movies in both English and French. The Park Services employees were very helpful and knowledgeable about the history of Quebec and were eager to answer any questions. When visiting Old Quebec City, take a moment and drop by this museum.
