360 degrees of great views from the tallest building; even more on a bright sunny day! For sure the wow factor is the what you see outside, not inside, althougt the videos and other interactive displays are fine.
It is all enclosed, which given the winters here makes sense. They have interactive displays which are fine for some, but we just liked the views!
It is a very nice observatory. We enjoyed it, and the nice views. The only reason that I ranked it 4/5 instead of 5/5 is because there wasn't any wow factor. It was a great visit. There wasn't anything extra that stood out, however.
Hi W_M_Freeman,Thank you for your review! We hope to welcome you back soon at the Observatory!Geneviève ClavetCommunications and public relationsCommission de la capitale nationale du Québec / Observatoire de la Capitalegenevieve.clavet@capitale.gouv.qc.ca
About $10 a person. Great views from the top! Staff very friendly and willing to answer questions and help. Many displays to provide more info about what you are looking down at. Also great to warm up from the cold weather during the winter months!
Dear Trip6283,Thank you for your review. We are surprised to read that five minutes was enough to enjoy all that the Observatory has to offer, in addition to the view: sound booth, 3D imagery, history of Québec City through objects and pictures, touch screens, etc. Also, here would be our suggestions on your next trip in the heart of Québec City and at Observatoire de la Capitale. You can easily be taken to the Observatory by the city bus (RTC). Also nice to know, we are part of the Double Decker bus tour stops during the summer. All day long, you can hop on and off the bus as often as you like. If on the contrary you are a fan of walking, there are so many things to see and visit near the Observatory, you will definitely get your money’s worth by parking nearby. Don’t hesitate to contact us before your next visit, we’ll be glad to help!Regards,Geneviève ClavetCommunications and public relationsCommission de la capitale nationale du Québec / Observatoire de la Capitalegenevieve.clavet@capitale.gouv.qc.ca

The views are good at the top, but I would not consider them anything more than average. There are other locations in the city that can offer comparable views. The one exception is the view of the Citadelle, where you can get a great picture of the star-shaped design.
