My wife and I went to the Winter Carnival and had a great time despite it being VERY cold, but this carnival is clearly a big part of the city's culture and is very well put on. The park was the site of the majority of the activities and is very spacious and has nice views of the St. Lawrence river from atop the hillside in close proximity to the citadel, a fort sitting aside from the park.
hi, if you like a walk or see a great park, it will take you a while to see it all,be lovely for a picnic, enjoy the history
A very large park, with plenty of open spaces. Gardens, flowers, fountains, sun and shade. If you like some green spaces, don't miss it.
Beautifully preserved with abundant signage and informative brochures. Views are breathtaking. Clean and we felt very safe walking the whole length of the park. 5-stars!
Very much enjoyed the history lesson provided at the Battlefields Park on the Plains of Abraham. The park is easily walkable and the venues are low cost and high in historic value. Whether you are a Canadian or a American there is a lot of history that is brought forward here that wasn;t taught in history classes!
We had a few hours to spare whilst in Quebec and decided to visit the park and the Discovery Centre. We weren't sure what to expect but we thought that this was a fabulous place to visit. We were in the centre for over two hours. There was so much information and things to look at and watch. It was simply overwhelming. We weren't terribly clear about the history of Canada, but this explained everything. The display of both Army's uniforms and how they were made and when they were re-issued was amazing. We would thoroughly recommend this to anyone interested in finding out more about Quebec's involvement in making Canada what it is today.
Beautiful park overlooking the water. Great place to spend a quiet afternoon. Lots of history and gorgeous, well-maintained gardens
An easy walk and a peaceful setting now. Good views while walking and usually not too crowded. It covers a large area so do as much or as little as you want.
We discovered the park our first day and take a daily jaunt, discovering more each time. This is a great place to stroll or run. The nature trail is very relaxing and so verdant in the summer. Check out the fountains, the views, and the beautiful gardens. My favorite was the St. Joan of Arc statue and gardens. This is truly a world-class garden stop. Find it and enjoy.
I made a tour visit, arranged in the tourism' office, with my wife and I adored. I was lucky to get a young female tourist guide that it was so nice and informative. Look for Noémie Martin-Chouinard. The day was rainy and my Canon complain a little bit but I got out knowing a little bit why the French and the British don't like each other.
