Parc national de l'Ile-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Perce

Parc national de l'Ile-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Perce stands out with its rich natural, historic, and geological heritage. Sculpted by time and the sea, at the Gaspe Peninsula's tip, it has the fortress of Bonaventure Island and the magnificent stone vessel of Perce Rock-Quebec's tourism emblem. Its outstanding flora and fauna, including its famous colony of Northern Gannets make it a must-see for visitors, as do the island's old homes-the last witnesses to the way the islanders lived a century ago.

The national park does a wonderful job of protecting the enormous gannet colony on Bonaventure Island, while providing excellent viewing for bird-watching. Access to the island is by boat, and the ride can be rough. The bird colony is located across the island from the boat dock/visitor's center, about a 45 minute hike over the summit, or a 90 minute hike (easier terrain) at the perimeter. Bathrooms are plentiful. Bring your rain jacket, water, and a camera!

Route des Montagnes

Reviewed By Mslater65

We drove from Baie-Saint-Paul to La Baie, overnighted in Chicoutimi and returned to La Malbaie after a cruise on the Saguenay River at one of the provincial parks. The next day we drove through Saint-Aime-Des-Lacs to another provincial park on the Malbaie River. The scenery during all our drives was spectacular and traffic was very light. The Saguenay River is 200 metres deep, tidal and partly salty and is very photogenic. We visited a number of cheese “farms”, an oyster mushroom farm and had some magnificent dinners in Chicoutimi and La Malbaie. The Charlevoix region is a jewel and a great are for a foodie road trip.

Zoo de Granby

Zoo de Granby is one of the major zoos located in Canada and North America’s northeast. It is home to nearly 1,500 animals from over 225 different species.

Reviewed By R2916KTkarenl - Ottawa, Canada

Visited the Granby Zoo in August 2017 with our two children (age 7 and 9). They had a blast. So much to see - definitely recommend buying the two day pass if you intend to also go to the water park because there is too much to see in just one day. The kids loved seeing all the animals and, while there's alot of walking, it's not as much as at the Toronto Zoo. The water park was a welcome chance to cool down after a long walk around the Zoo (kids couldn't get enough of the wave pool!). While I agree with other comments re. the price fo the food, there was a special for dinner after 5:00 p.m. which helped. Also, if your family is really organized (ours is not!), lots of people brought coolers / wagons and had their own picnics (lots of places to sit). The only negative would be that the amusement park section of the Zoo is really for very young children. The only 2 rides for older children were the rollercoaster and pirate ship, both of which you had to pay extra for. Go for the Zoo and water park, if you end up going to the amusement park, that's a bonus.

Gatineau Park

This vast and scenic Ottawa park is ideal for walking, biking or cross-country skiing and also houses the MacKenzie King Estate, once the home of Canada's former Prime Minister.

Reviewed By FarAway752596

A must to visit! Gatineau park is just beautiful. Close to Ottawa, with so many lakes including Pink lake (green), trails, wildlife, breathtaking views especially from Belvèdere where you can see as far as the Outaouais River. Good variety of restaurants (Chelsea) it does not matter the season of the year, each one is unique in its own way. In Autunm enjoy the colors is just magic!!! My favorite place in the Outaouais.

Reviewed By trudilynel - Natick, United States

Tremblant is fabulous! The pedestrian village is beautiful and the two other Tremblant villages are next door and have great restaurants. The skiing is fantastic for all levels, there are green trails to double blacks from the top. Even during school vacation week, there were no lift lines. There are many other activities, too. There is an indoor waterpark and spa onsite. There is also an activity center that will hook you up with a variety of excursions. We did a dog sled tour and drove snow buggies. It was fantastic! If you go, bring a lot of layers. Actually, bring ALL YOUR WINTER CLOTHES. It is freezing! If you live in the US northeast, drive the extra few hours to Tremblant. It is worth it.

Mont Orford

Reviewed By Clara1953

We had booked a chair lift to go up to the top of the mountain ahead of time which was wise because the beautiful weather attracted many people. The view from the top was magnificent since the Fall colors were spectacular. They are well organized with parking and safety-minded access to the chair-lifts.
