Outside of Montréal and Québec City With Kids

In the Laurentians, the gentle rides of the Au Pays des Merveilles and the Village du Père Noël (Santa’s Village) are perfect for younger children. There are plenty of thrills at the Water Parks at Mont-St-Sauveur in the Laurentians and Bromont in the Eastern Townships.

Montmorency Falls, on the Côte-de-Beaupré, aren’t as grand as Niagara, but they’re higher, and crossing the suspension bridge above the spectacular chutes of water is a thrill. Farther along the St. Lawrence coast in Tadoussac you can take a boat ride for an up-close encounter with whales (be careful not to get saltwater in your camera or phone).
