Specialty:

✓ Concert Halls ✓ Auditorium ✓ Concerts ✓ Shows ✓ School Programs ✓ Special Events ✓ Odyssée Room and Hull Water Works

“Théâtre De l'Île was originally designed as the Hull Water Works building in 1886, when the site was at the center of a predominantly industrial area. The City of Hull and the National Capital Commission teamed to reconstruct and develop the building as a theatre. Théâtre De l'Île opened in 1976 and became the first municipal theatre in Quebec. Théâtre De l'Île offers a fantastic experience for visitors. Théâtre De l'Île seats up to 119 people and provides a variety of shows each year, attracting around 25,000 spectators annually.

2025 Update: The city of Hull and the National Capital Commission joined together to rebuild the structure as a theatre. Théâtre De l'Île is located on a small island at the southern end of the Ruisseau de la Brasserie, a small river running just to the west of Montcalm Street in the former city of Hull.”

MUSÉE CANADIEN DE L'HISTOIRE REVIEWS

Sprawling museum that tells the story of Canada’s history including many exhibits dedicated to Indigenous people. The architecture is incredible throughout. The exhibits are designed well, flow great, offer interesting information, and utilize a modern look to increase engagement. We spend 3 hours here and didn’t see it all, so plan for a full day if you want to spend time reading and taking it all in! Well worth a visit.

A must-see for Canadians. The museum features three main galleries separated by time periods. It’s interactive, informative and the layout is so organized and immersive you feel like walking through a full story. Every interactive piece works and super clean. Probably needs 3 hours to read most of everything.

Always a great experience and TONS of really interesting exhibits. If you have little ones it features the coolest children’s zone with so many interactive and educational exhibits. We’ve gone a number of times and always enjoy our visit!

THÉÂTRE DE L'ÎLE REVIEWS

Very cute, clean, quaint theatre. The reception hall is beautiful with amazing views of the water. Since it's a smaller theatre it feels very intimate when you're in there. The outside grounds are beautifully manicured and being surrounded by water makes it absolutely serene. It really is a very nice place, and I really wish you can rent it out for special occasions.

Nice little authentical theater. Cozy et nice ambiance. There is a small park and small river to walk by before the show.

Great theater and location. Some quality community theater going on as well. There were a few bar options that weren't too expensive.

FRANK ROBINSON ARENA REVIEWS

Were lucky to have this old arena. Full heating beside when its warm outside and specially a good cantine.

A place where my son started to skate and learn and loved Hockey. Old Arena but very vibrant and happening.

Great atmosphere! I look forward to visiting every week.
