- patriciay455Baltimore, MD266 contributionsThis is a must for anyone who has an interest in history of old prisons. The tour was really interesting and entertaining. Also learned some interesting information about Morris College and early women at the school. Highly recommendWritten September 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mary FDallas, TX5 contributionsWe thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. Take the self-guided tour. We learned so much about the nuns and the school that they ran so long ago.Written August 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jane and RonaldSydney, Australia12 contributionsThe monastery is beautiful in itself but the history of the place and the work of the nuns is fantastic. Do not miss going to the museum at the monastery.Written June 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jude BGreenwich, CT35 contributionsAs we were driving toward the park, we wondered if we were in the right place. The drive and approach belied the park.
We followed the instruction of another reviewer and didn't park at the first parking lot - this was a genius recommendation.
Once we parked the car we walked to the left facing river which took us to the bottom of several flights of stairs up. My husband was not up to tackling the stairs so we backtracked and continued on to another part of the part that went on for miles along the river. It was a beautiful autumn day, lots of people out and about. Loved the walk...
So when facing the river walk to the left if you're an intrepid walker and to the right if you're up for more of a leisurely stroll - you can't go wrong either way.Written October 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We finally were able to visit in the summer. Joined an English tour. Used our National Park Discovery park pass so everything was included as part of our pass. Very informative and interesting tour to hear the evolution of the chateau. Guided tour is an hour and would recommend the tour over the audio tour.Written July 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Krisy F1 contributionFirst of all, I want to give a shout out to my amazing tour guide Aliénor (I hope I got your name right!) I was the only person to show up on a Tuesday morning at 10am so I got a private tour of the governor’s residence. Aliénor is incredibly knowledgeable about Canadian politics as well as the intricacies of the residence (its history, past governors, artwork, furniture, purposes of each room - functional and design). I learned so much about the current Governor and her responsibilities, the relationship between the Governor and other members of Parliament and much much more. It was a very cool tour AND free! Try to get a tour with Aliénor (she’s bilingual French and English). Leave a tip if you can :)Written July 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JamesKMTanPetaling Jaya, Malaysia21,734 contributionsThis is a very nice huge popular park about 5 minutes ride by bike from the city centre. It is the place to view birds with plenty of shade and parking.Written September 23, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- coyfanaticLansing, MI34 contributionsStopped in while site seeing in Quebec City. What a wonderful surprise. We bought a butterfly, a couple of snowmen, and a paraffin candle, all blown glass. I could have spent more time and money and would love to visit again. Staff was very friendly and did well to wrap everything, even asking if we were flying home. It appears you can also blow your own glass ornament at certain times, something we didn't do.Written August 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Samantha MQuebec City, Canada2 contributionsBest facial I’ve gotten to date. Was guided to choose the best treatment for my skin and the technician went above and beyond. Highly recommend!Written March 27, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Lockie HAsheville, NC679 contributionsWhat a beautiful place with a lovely collection. I especially enjoyed the fanzine Collection. My French is not excellent, and so I was able to find a few books, mostly middle grade reader books, that I could easily translate in this beautiful building. What a sweet way to spend a morning “between the stacks”.Written October 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Maria BToronto, Canada3 contributionsUne expérience à répéter bientôt ! The clues were well hidden, the challenge was hard for us but we are hooked on this. A must do if you want learn how to work in a team.
Excellent service, amazing staff !

Siberia was more beautiful and better appointed. The steam, infrared and dry saunas were perfect- cold plunges were cold, but not too cold and the yurt, multiple swings and fire pits abounded. It was wonderfully relaxing and refreshing all at the same time. Loved it. It was the best part of our trip to Quebec.Written July 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- RobynAblesonKingston, Canada62 contributionsI’m a history teacher and teach Canada’s involvement in WWI and WWII so I love visiting naval museums. This one was good. The object were interesting and was great to see some German objects as well. Even found some object relating to my own Grandfather who served on the Prince Robert! My only critique is your map outside the museum. I believe you have an error. Please see attached photo.
Otherwise this is a terrific little museum!Written July 4, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Jams and chocolates and beautiful prepackaged items lined the shelves.
There’s something really special about bringing a local food offering from a country. In addition, they had the most beautiful and sturdy grocery tote bags with simple sweet drawings of grocery items on the front. I could not decide between the cheese one and the pear one, so I got the cheese bag and my friend got the pear bag. I love it! It’s sturdy and large and different and a great souvenir of our trip.Written October 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
