AQUARIUM DU QUÉBEC REVIEWS
Worth every minute. Reserve online, show up at your time, show your vaccine passport and enjoy the visit. Great overall setup with one direction through the exhibits. Lots to see and learn for all ages. Our Daughter and us thoroughly enjoyed the visit and everything there is to learn.
Kids enjoyed a lot. They learned a lot too. Not that expensive to do it. Some Restaurants were not opened yet. Small play ground and water area was fun to do toward end. No line, we bought tickets online.
Had a great visit to the Quebec City Aquarium with the family. Great assortment of animals and very kid friendly. Does not take too long to tour the facility. Staff were very friendly and bi-lingual.

MUSÉE DE LA CIVILISATION REVIEWS
A great museum that has lots of different exhibits. I like that it's not all one category. Some exhibits are interactive and great for kids. Others focus on art or history in a more traditional way. It was fun and a good place to visit for all ages.
Went here while we were touring around Quebec City, was really enlightening into the culture and background of the area. They didn't only focus on the area though, there were multiple exhibits which were super interactive and entertaining to learn more about. My personal favorite was the movement exhibit which showed the powers of motion capture with free expression of dance and movement. The line wasn't too bad, the ticket machines were having issues so we ended up having to go to purchase them at the desk instead. As an English speaker with very limited French, I can confirm that the staff here is well versed in both dialects for any questions you may have. Overall a really enjoyable place for a trip during the day if you're interested in history and creative exhibitions.
Nice place visit with kids and for adults. Open your mind when saw things from the past. Very productive visit, we were spend 4h. A lot of fun. Also unusual part of museum with poop.

MUSÉE NATIONAL DES BEAUX-ARTS DU QUÉBEC REVIEWS
While I wish the rest of the buildings were open, I had an amazing time in the main building and its three floors. The building itself is architecturally stunning and the art on display is enjoyable. I especially liked the Alexander McQueen exhibit on the ground floor. Art makes me happy. I am in the city with some of my students who also enjoyed the museum.
Should have allowed more time for just sitting and enjoying the building itself and the amazing architecture. The installations were presented in such innovative ways, that was nearly as interesting as the art itself. Restaurant in the lobby was awesome.
Loved the Alexander McQueen exhibition, so well curated! The inuit art too. The building is perfect for exhibitions.
