What people are saying about Quebec Province

Such a great day! Easy to reach by car from the city, very easy and relaxed on arrival. The area is so easy to navigate - they have it sorted! So much fun going up the slopes in the tube. The queues at the top were short and you quickly reached your turn. People are around to help the uninitiated if needed. Then whoosh! You’re off and hurtling down the slopes. Spent 4 hours of fun there! Really, just go - I’m 55 and loved it as much as my teenagers!

Excellent place to have fun with the family! We were able to enjoy that day until 8 pm but I don't know if it's always the normal time. We went by rental car from Quebec and it was very easy to get there, park and access.

It's such a wonderful trip! That's my best day in Montreal. Really appreciate my experienced guide Erik. He was so cheerful and was so familiar with everything in the zoo. An was also very fun to chat with. Love you two!

Bueno, pero creo que sale mas económico comprandolo directo porque acá lo pagamos en USD y allá en CA sale mas económico por el valor actual de la moneda americana. Aun así muy buena experiencia.

Beautiful experience that lets you view the City of Montreal from a unique angle. Family friendly, relaxing, and fun.
