Here in Québec, summer is meant for playing outside and having a good time with the family.

Whether in the forest, the city or the water, we have a wide array of thrilling outdoor summer activities. Water slides, underground exploration, zoological gardens, adventure trails and thematic sites will have young and old laughing and shouting with joy!

Seasons

Outdoor summer activities are practised approximately from June to September.

Something for everyone

  • Our zoos are home to species from all over the planet. Yes, we are very well-travelled! Whether from the north, exotic, air or marine, our friends are waiting for you all around our majestic and green territory. Remember your camera.

  • Is it hot? It's time to put on your swimsuit and slide on your back or dive head first onto one of our multiple water slides. With names like Le Tsunami, La Tornade and L'Everest, some descents might make your hair stand on end! A little dip in the wave pool with that?

  • Time travel? Of course! Our thematic sites propel families into history and imagination. Here, we meet lumberjacks, Indigenous peoples, legendary or fictional characters... It is even possible to see Santa Claus there in the middle of summer.

  • Visiting one of our caves is like diving into nothingness. Several metres underground, the air is humid and cool enough to give us chills. The silence is full with the echo repeating the least of our words. The rock faces close in, and we realize how spellbinding the depths of the earth are. Absolutely fabulous!

  • Our light shows, whether projected on urban architecture or in the middle of nature, dazzle with their myriads of colours and images. If we want to dream a little, amusement parks immerse us in enchanted lands inhabited by fairytale characters and fantastic creatures.

  • Nature here is very generous in the summer season. You can have fun moving from tree to tree on aerial paths or glide like birds through the branches on zip lines. Height fans love our via ferratas. We also have many other outdoor games: paintball centres, mazes, sledding and sky bikes are just a few examples. Make your choice!
