Description

This site was both a French and British barracks, and was functioning as a munitions factory as recently as the early 1960s. Visitors can tour the fully-restored dining room, kitchen and drawing room, as well as the officers' mess hall and industrial buildings. The interpretive centre offers a fascinating multimedia journey through the history of the site and Quebec City itself. There are gunfire demonstrations at 11:15am, 1:15pm, and 3:15pm every summer day, Canada Day celebrations on July 1, and the staff even puts on a spooky pre-Halloween show. Admission: CAD3.25 Adults; CAD2.75 Seniors and Students over 17 with ID; CAD2 Children 6-16; CAD7 Families; Free for children under 6.
