Reviews of The Plains of Abraham Museum (Museum)

Lubna Samara

The right place to learn about the history of Quebec and Canada. We entered through Battlefields Park, discovered the Art Museum, then continued to the Plains of Abrahams museum.... The entrance fee covers a bus tour as well, but when we arrived all the tours were sold out. The good thing, is you can come back the next day to finish your tour..just keep your receipt.

Ron Dagenbach

Very informative interactive exposition of the 7 Years War period of New France history

Martin Kukla

Museum is probably pretty good. But what is it good for if there is a strike and shut down right in the middle of busy summer season for entire month! Really shame on you,after visiting Montreal and learning about the history of Olympic games and how the famous stadium broke Montreal for 30 years. Didn't you really already learn your lesson. So very French, viva la grève!

Ramneek Handa

It's small but nice

Martin Crawford

Nice bus tour

Hannah Zamboni

a little pricey for what it is. Very interesting history. not that much to see in the museum.

Scott Kerrison

For the size of the building, I felt overall a little underwhelmed by the what was available to be seen. If your legs allow, just take the stairs between the levels - the elevator seemed incredibly slow. The display of arts and crafts done by children, located on the entry level, showed an impressive level of skill. The included bus tour of the Plains of Abraham itself was quite enjoyable, with the guide dressed up in period costume and playing the role of a historical figure while delivering the commentary. This was probably the highlight of the museum visit for me.

Stuart Rae

Great uniforms Loved the movie Parking was expensive

Luis Martins

A nice museum with A lot of history.

Layne Aspen

The guy at the front desk was very informative and seemed to enjoy answering all of questions about the Quebec City.

Elise Moore

This is a must see museum to understand the history of Quebec and the rest of the historic sites. Just go for the movie which is in English and French in rotation. Whatever the price the movie is worth it. It gave the rest of our trip a context.

Kelly Barrow

Wonderful

Bill Brownfield

Lots of interactive exhibits good for kids.

Gareth Ronald-Jones

This is a great experience. The military simulation is a perfect way for students/and kids to learn.

daniel cadieux

Cute, interactive for children, i would have liked a few more artefact

Doug Macintosh

Well done. We had the extended family of six, from grands to age 8, and everyone was fascinated. We love learning history. I felt this was a balanced presentation, including indigenous perspectives which weren't there last time I went many years ago. Overall - great.

Niccolò Passolunghi

Nice museum

Jon Heining

It was highly informative. I wish it had been a bit bigger, given the price of admission.

Ian Silverwood

The place is rather small, but there is a lot of content regardless. The price is good, and the staff is very enthusiastic about the history and explaining everything. There is a video you can watch, and a demonstration of how cannons worked back then. It's also a good place for children since a lot of it is interactive, and they can play around with it.

Jose San Martin

History

Shiela Barkey

Beautiful and historic, this piece of land has great views of the St. Lawrence.

Lily Chan

(Translated) It's a good historical museum The staff are very hospitable, offering excellent knowledge and advice. There is a parking spot beside the museum. The place is well maintained The bathroom is very clean. Very impressed (Original) เป็นพิพิธภัณฑ์ทางประวัติศาสตร์ที่ดี เจ้าหน้าที่อัธยาศัยดีมากให้ความรู้และคำแนะนำอย่างดีเยี่ยม มีจุดจอดรถข้างพิพิธภัณฑ์ สถานที่ได้รับการดูแลอย่างดี ห้องน้ำสะอาดมาก ประทับใจมากค่ะ

The Nealons

Wonderfully preserved historic are with open expansive areas.

Geoffré Lacombe

Best poutine in Ottawa!

Theresa Murphy

Visit if you like walking. This is a lovely place to walk around and read about the history of it. I would recommend this activity on a warmer day. Beautiful views : Specially - A fabulous open parkland with lovely trees & gardens. Lovely views across the river. Plenty of places to sit & contemplate.

Seira Chung

An informative and interactive exhibit but largely aimed toward children. For the cost, the 30-minute video and the museum felt lacklustre.

Danny Boivin

(Translated) The museum is good, but you can quickly walk around for the price. Nice welcome by the employees and still various interesting things to see. (Original) Le musée est bien, mais on fait vite le tour quand même pour le prix. Belle accueil par les employés et quand même diverses choses intéressante à voir.

Sunil Dubey

Museum is small, but interesting with historical articles preserved. Some of the most interesting things are the uniforms of the French and British soldiers, punishments filled out for pretty crimes etc. However, I liked most the 30 minute movie show about the 7 year war, including the place of the Plains of Abraham in that war. With a visit.

hasan “hascon” Siddiqui

It was very historical

gimenes Bombeiro

Wonderful world

Jeremy Arnie

The Plains of Abraham Museum is not so huge, but there is an interesting film screening and a room with old uniforms, models, and a cannon. Also after the visit you have a room to eat your lunch.

Rensie Niltiac

I enjoyed putting my partner and the stocks and letting everyone know that he's a drunkard.

Larshan Perinpam

????????

Yvonne Swallow

Excellent bus tour around the battle site, fantastic lady tour guide, who really included all visitors, really good fun!

Brad Ives

one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.

Jesus Gonzalez

Nice food

James Werner

Our first and last thought was , “You’ve got to be kidding.” We sat down for the introductory movie and there was a large ceiling support post blocking the view the the screen. It did not just block the view for some of the seats but for every seat. And speaking of the seats, the 1/2 hour film will seem much longer with the hard flat plastic benches provided. The script for the film seemed to be written by a 10th grader obsessed with rattling off the largest list of incremental facts and dates they could muster. It had no larger narrative arc, it had no context, it had no larger meaning, and no inspirational messages. Imagine Jackson Pollock using historic factoids instead of paint flecks, and you have a pretty good idea of the coherency of the script. The potential for using four voices to tell the story was wasted by using voice actors for three of them show sounded like they had been recruited from the same Walmart in Columbus, Ohio. Even the “English” character had a bland American accent, and could not be distinguished from the others. Only the Indian character voice was distinguishable, and made your cringe to hear such a stereotype that seemed like they were mocking him. The illustrations and “animation” were even worse. Perhaps they recruited the younger 6th grade sister of the 10th grade screen writer for the illustrations: See soldier standing; now see same soldier die by tilting the vertical soldier to a horizontal position. To save money, it looks like they checked off the box that said, all faces drawn in profile, with no 3/4 views. The rest of the museum with series of illuminated shadow boxes with artifact fragments did not help tell the story any better. The uniforms on display looked like they were carried by the voice actors form the same Walmart where they had been standing in line when they were hired. When we left, we again thought, “You’ve got to be kidding, $13 per person.” Save your money.

Jesús Mary Joseph Holy Family

Like to know learn about history. This would be the places to visite. ????

Alex George Bejan

A small museum, but so well organized. The documentary they show as part of the ticket price is also great. The story of the loss of the city by the French Canadians to the British is very sad.

AndreA

We left this museum with more understanding of Canadian History.

Doug Niessen

The facility is clean organized and easy to access as there is lots of paid parking. The museum is set up in levels with 3 floors starting at the third level. The first room to visit is a room with a tent, cannons and other interesting artifacts and maps. The next section which is on the same level is a 15 minute movie set up in a theatre style room with benches that I thought really needed to be updated in terms of technology. It looked like it was produced in the 80's. The next 2 levels are statues of what the early colonial characters wore including the natives in their beautiful outfits. There is some interactive games set up to challenge with history questions. I would put aside about 1 1/2 hours to visit the entire museum unless you are the type that needs to read everything you see then I would put aside 2 hours.

Jessica Croes

A very interactive museum. You were allowed to touch and try things. You could for example guess which punishment a soldier gets when he falls asleep while at guard by inserting a key in different locks. There was also a very visual and clear presentation about the 7 years war.

Riky Han

A good place

Danny Kearney

An amazing piece of history right here

Dana Fine

Great museum.

Mathieu Landry

(Translated) The museum presents the battles that took place in Quebec in 1759 and 1760. There are also many artefacts discovered during archaeological excavations on the Plains of Abraham. Suitable for the whole family. (Original) Le musée présente les combats qui se sont déroulés à Québec en 1759 et 1760. On y retrouve aussi de nombreux artefacts découverts lors de fouilles archéologiques sur les Plaines d'Abraham. Convient à toute la famille.

T Miller

Good account of how the British beat France in the war

Sasiya Supprakit

Great little museum full of history. The presentation of the war between the French and the English were very informative. It's an interesting museum that you can touch most of the stuff on display which is really cool! We enjoyed visiting this museum.

Johan Manuel Camacho

Very nice

Tom Jacques

worth seeing.

Chris Loupaffame

The british ruin everything, even a 5 star review of a museum.

Trisha Smith

Fun interactive exhibits.

David T Miller

If you’re Canadian then you might enjoy this. It is limited and the 30 min educational film is lacking.

Evan Barr

What a waste of money. Very Expensive with limited artifacts of historical significance. Not to mention to start off the experience you are herded into a tiny room with really nothing to learn about other than a variety of old whiskey barrels and grade school level material and explanations. All the while you’re waiting to get into a low budget level film/cartoon with a gigantic wooden beam in front of the screen. This “film” which is narrated by stereotypical figures with no real storyline or indication of which figure is speaking leaves you confused and underwhelmed. If you are expecting an authentic experience book yourself a private walking tour of the grounds. The museum is a waste of time.

Tpr G

Birth place of Abraham Lincoln.????????????????

Paul Butler

Lovely museum and very helpful staff, even my 9 year old daughter had a great time.

Melissa Fu

As an adult.... Kinda boring. Not sure if it was worth $15, for 20min walkthrough

Maxim Beiline

Very interesting Museum

Richard Chong

Very nice place to visit and learn some history. ????

Doug Macintosh

Well done. We had the extended family of six, from grands to age 8, and everyone was fascinated. We love learning history. I felt this was a balanced presentation, including indigenous perspectives which weren't there last time I went many years ago. Overall - great.

scott bourassa

Wide open spaces - great for kids!

Joe C

Good museum to learn about the Quebec war history. The video did a good job explaining the war and the exhibits contains war uniforms and items. Just wish there are more contents in the exhibits as it only takes an hour to go through the video and exhibitions.

Matt Borneman

Nice park for a walk.

Mili Castro

Excellent tours and super duper kid-friendly!!

Nathan T

No RV parking in the car lot. No RV parking in the bus lot. This is a national historic site where people bring their families on vacation - why go out of your way to make families feel unwelcome? Also, despite being a Parks Canada site, they don't accept your Parks pass. Beyond that, the museum is poorly curated and just jammed with walls of text and artifact fragments. Pass on this one. Edit: answering your questions, it was the second floor that was a letdown. I didn't mins the video as much as the guy who expertly tore it apart (great review though). If it were my museum to run, I'd benchmark the National Museum of History in Ottawa. Money aside, each section told a story, with 100 or so words on an exhibit, and images to support the story. The walls of text and piles of artifacts just gave the impression of disorganization and didn't invite me to stay or keep my interest.

Michelle Davis

The video (30mins) explaining the battle was very good. The museum was interactive so good for good and quite small so you can do in less rhan an hour. Very informative but not boring

Ed Fryscok

Amazing place with great tour

Esther Loumbardas

Enjoyed the experience and loved the detailed information throughout the museum.

Patrick Béland

(Translated) Thank you Plains of Abraham for the great treasure hunt activity to discover the park and its history! (Original) Merci Plaines d'Abraham pour la super activitée de chasse au trésor pour découvrir le parc et son histoire!

Susan Smolders

Great museum with interactive exhibits to increase student interest and understanding. Plan for at least an hour and a half. We were only there an hour and that wasn't enough (but our schedule of activities didn't allow for us to stay longer). Highly recommend this museum and I'd return!!

Michael Jursic

They really had it all. It was surprisingly excellent. Located right by the Plains, where the British won the Battle of Quebec in 1759, its interpreters are great. You also get entrance to the Martelo tower which is a short walk away and every bit as worth it.

Akhil Nair

Not worth a visit, musee de beaux art or musee de civilization are much better and cheaper .

Christian Glaude

Amazing

Jorge Chavarriaga

Nice place

Chris Reiner

See the movie exhibit. Gives a nice concise history of the Conquest.

D F

It's good to know and see history

Keith Nelson

Historic

Jaya Surjadinata

Great to learn about important times in Canadian history. Museum is not large but good for a couple hours. Not to miss is the bus tour of the park, the woman who toured us (in character of Abraham's wife) was excellent.

Pablo Valdivieso

Educational museum

Eddy Wallace

Great place to walk around

Mr. Raindrop

Never come in winter. It is nothing except an exhibition!

Kiruthiha Kulendiren

Important place and the museum is a missed opportunity for Government to showcase an important piece of national history. $17 for the museum + $9 for parking to see the smallest exhibition of materials. So much more could have been done AND needs to be done. The student witks displays (half if the lower kevel) was ALL in French!! This is a tourist destination, an opportunity to educate everyone not to hold on to local need to defend language rights (federal funding is to support bilingualism not one language). Washroom was clean.

Patrice Cote

(Translated) Very nice museum to learn more about this period in our history. (Original) Très beau musée pour en connaître plus sur cette période de notre histoire.

Vince Z

A great place to see how the French lost their wars.

Cathryn Brewer

Such a rich history to Quebec and getting a chance to do a bus tour with the admission to the museum was well worth the money spent. I am so glad that we have had a chance to check out so many parts of the Plains of Abraham while we have been staying in Quebec City. Definitely want to come back again and again.

Michael Abramczyk

Very informative.

Siddy Usman

A very small museum

Shirley G.

(Translated) Very interesting. Meeting with characters, animation to watch for about twenty minutes. Object to see and try. Museum like other museums in Canada: interactive, educational, and above all impeccable. (Original) Très intéressant. Rencontre avec des personnages, animation à regarder d'une vingtaine de minutes. Objet à voir et à essayer. Musée à l'image des autres musée du Canada : interactif, pédagogique, et surtout impeccable.

SOOWOONG CHO (coolpilot)

Must visit place in this historical with.

David Tosi

Small, but well informed guides.

Megh Mistry

Its a good place for a slow ride in car or for a bike ride

de omm

Great place. Love how all the pieces have been painstakingly restored. Can fell and see history.

City Block99

i peed on the artifacts

Lucie Rondeau

(Translated) It was an outdoor activity, a kind of outdoor race with video clues (QR codes). We were 3 adults and 4 children. Duck cold but what a great way to get some fresh air on the plains! We all enjoyed it very much! (Original) C'était une activité extérieure, une sorte de course extérieure avec des indices par vidéo (codes QR) . Nous étions 3 adultes et 4 enfants. Froid de canard mais quelle bonne façon de prendre l'air sur les plaines ! Nous avons tous beaucoup apprécié !

Alyssa Becker

Interesting, but small, museum, connecting to some important parts of Canadian history. Some great interactive pieces for kids (and adults) to help bring it to life. It's a little on the small side, so it doesn't take a long time to visit. However, I think it's important, especially in learning and understanding Canadian history better.

Andy Hall

Effective exhibits. The historical interpreter was engaging. I loved the hands-on exhibits. The "smell the cork" and pillory drew me in. I want to learn more about the 7 years war. Good stuff!

Philip Snell

Very informative both in English and French

Sara Tavakolian

It was a short visit with some written information about some facts on 18 and 19th century, the video in French was complicated and not really clear to follow and to understand.

Stuart Wiltshire

Quite a small museum to cover such a large chunk of history but well presented. Learnt a lot we didn't know and connected historical events effectively.

Laura Molina (Laura M)

There is a short movie about the battles that happened in the area. Then, one can walk to a tower (about 10 min) to do a self gided tour with the aid of an ipad. (That they provide) make sure you keep your recipt from the museum do that you can Enter the tower. Also, there is a bus tour included in the price. We came later in the day (around 2 on a Sunday) and all the seats on the bus were taken for that day. We were given the option to come back the next day, but we were leaving the city. My advice is that even if you are not seeing the museum early in the day, plan to buy your tickets early to reserve your seat on the bus tour.

Ana Caracaleanu

Very windy in the winter. Beautiful views

Stéphane Wantiez

(Translated) An exciting and very well designed museum! (Original) Un musée passionnant et très bien conçu !

Angelo Manzara

It was great fun

maria jose

Good for kids.. projection is also nice and an interactive museum. You get a brief idea of the place, would suggest as one of the first stops. Also the parking is very convenient and no since it's 24hrs 365 days we used it as our main parking for the whole 2 days trip

Mo Cons

The museum was very informative and engaging. The price is reasonable. They have a small gift shop area, where they sell books on the history there both in French and English. After the museum, one can take a walk along the paths were much of the battle was. There is still lots of restoration work happening, repairing the barricade walls, but much of the Fort is still intact, with cannons.

Esther Loumbardas

Enjoyed the experience and loved the detailed information throughout the museum.

Zeinab Azadbakht

A perfect place to learn about the Canadian history. Walk in the park and take advantage of the great views if you have time.

Lyanos X

(Translated) Great visit! A real journey through time and what to say about the exemplary actors;) It's worth the detour. (Original) Super visite ! Un vrai voyage dans le temps et que dire des comédiens exemplaires ;) Ça vaut le détour.

RichardAndLydia Molineaux

Many museums present history in a pretty dry and flat way. Not this one! There were some nice interactive displays, a movie, and some before and after pictures, which I always find interesting. The museum took a couple of hours to go through and then we walked around the Plains of Abraham to see its gardens and views over the St. Laurence river.

Alexandre G.

(Translated) Exceptional place to learn more about the birth of Canada, how the French and the English killed each other to have this territory. The actors on site give us a brief glimpse of life in the past. Go there while they're not crowded during the time of Covid-19 (Original) Lieu exceptionnel pour en apprendre plus sur la naissance du Canada, comment les Français et les Anglais se sont entre tués pour avoir ce territoire. Les acteurs sur place nous donnent un bref aperçu de la vie d'autrefois. Allez-y pendant qu'ils n'y a pas trop de monde durant le temps de Covid-19

Philippe Bueche

(Translated) Very nice museum, with a lot of explanations and details. The film is also very well done for getting a glimpse of the battles. Do not miss (Original) Très beau musée, avec beaucoup d’explications et de détails. Le film est également très bien réalisé pour avoir un aperçu des batailles. A ne pas manquer

April Bumgardner

Small museum, but the van tour was the highlight of the visit.

Valerie Duchemin

Best school outing in Old Quebec. The kids loved it.

Marc Bouffard

Nice museum giving a detailed history of Les Plaines and therefore, of Quebec.

Victoria Brighton Thorpe

The interactive exhibit was fun, with lots of things to pick up and touch. The video was well done and enjoyable to watch. Thorough and factual, but not boring.

Enrico Triconi

Great view and history

Vladislav Averbukh

Came there at 3:15 and was refused the ticket even though the closing time 4pm

Sergei Leshchinsky

Very small, not worth the time.

Chris Ugolini

The history is nicely presented through presentations and interactive exhibits. What's unfortunate is that the English translations aren't always accurate or spell-checked. We found quite a few obvious grammatical errors (lenght instead of length, for example) and we even found a passage that only had a couple words translated with the rest in French. Unless you're French, you can't fully (or efficiently) absorb everything.

Celia C

(Translated) Beautiful museum, the tour is done in about 1h30. Several activities are done during the course including an explanatory video of the history of the plains. (Original) Beau musée, le tour ce fait en 1h30 à peu près. Plusieurs animation sont faite pendant le parcours dont une vidéo explicative de l'histoire des plaines.

Shiela Barkey

Beautiful and historic, this piece of land has great views of the St. Lawrence.

Quinton Hoshowsky Linhares

During our Quebec City Trip with the Grade 7/8 students back in 2014 we’ve been there to look at the soldiers and how they do during the war.

MacKenzie Knicely-Coutts

Definitely go on the tour. The tour guide we had was awesome. She really seemed to enjoy her job, and it was definitely worth it to go on the tour. The museum was good too.

Mahmudul Hoque

Historic

Christina Michaud

Intimate. Good for over all understanding of the history of the area and battles.

David Gibson

Small, but Interesting. No cafe.

Cao Dung

Historic place to learn and explore.

Paul Jacobs

Very informative and some interactive things for kids. It's not boring; it's entertaining.

Lindsay Camara

Great museum if you want to brush up on your Canadian history you forgot from school or never knew

Mahdi Aflaki

Not too much things to see!

Ratkovszki Krisztián

Québec history with focus on the big battle

Jamie Arron

The film that was the centerpiece of the attraction was very difficult to follow. The other exhibits with the live actors were great though

Rubén Aguíñiga

A place where you can find interesting things about the history of Quebec.

Rachel Stenta

A fun look back at history. Loved the uniforms and artifacts!

Ryan Michaud

Very informative and the tour was worth the money. This is a must see if you are in Quebec.

Ardith McNeil

It was small. I enjoyed the student exhibition

Blessing

Great scenery

Kevin Revelle

Not a large museum has some interesting archeological pieces from around the area.

Kevin Smith

This small museum offers 3 linked tours. The museum itself is relatively small; the highlight is a 30 minute film about the battle. The second tour is a 45 minute bus trip around the park; this is a complete waste of time. The final part is a look inside an old stone tower where you can use a provided iPad to view details about the artifacts. On the whole, the package focuses more on entertainment rather than on a more traditional museum experience.

TW F

A few interesting things there but seems like a bit of a waste of space for that nice new building that they built after the other one burnt down.

Manoj Manghnani

Great place to walk, we came through the main pomenade and took the 300 stairs to get here. Great views.

Todd Hunter

Very little content is English and not much available to peruse

tanya vandalen

Lots of walking beautiful spot

James Bridden

Very informative. Worth the time. Very helpful staff!

An amazing window into Canada's history, perched on one of the most important battlefields of Canada's history. Recommended

Loki Gui

Great historical movie about the war for New France.

Michael Strathmore

Great to learn about our heritage.

Daniela R. (Rika88)

Interesting artifacts!

Tomy Shaw Finance

Really love this part of old Québec, really beautiful and the people are inviting! :)

Jason WD

I discovered the Museum on my way to Wolfe's monument and was pleasantly surprised by the very helpful staff. There is an exhibition of items found of the plains, dioramas of battles, replica uniforms, crime and punishment, then a scheduled 30min presentation which I found to be a little biased (which was to be expected really). In all, if you have an interest in the history go with an open mind.

Jean-Francois Pilon

(Translated) Very interesting. An important page of our history is explained here. A bit old-fashioned video (Original) Très intéressant. Une page importantes de notre histoire est ici expliquée. Vidéo un peu vieillotte

Igor Pivovar

Very interesting museum

Matt Alsaker

Visit the museum, then enjoy a nice walk through the park.

Emma Clare McGee

A very fun and interactive Museum. We loved the staff who wondered around in character and the activities.

Benoit Chartrand

(Translated) I participated in a school trip. We had two animators who represented historical characters, beautiful performance. They described the unfolding of the Battle of the Plains. Subsequently, they brought us to the full for military maneuvers. Thank you for this historic experience. (Original) J'ai participé à une sortie scolaire. Nous avons eu deux animateurs qui représentaient des personnages historique, belle performance. Ils ont décrit le déroulement de la bataille des plaines. Par la suite, ils nous ont amenés sur les pleines pour faire des manoeuvres militaires. Merci pour cette expérience historique.

Andy Rez

Interesting facts about Canadian history, we were looking forward to watch the movie but it was disappointing, difficult to follow and confusing. What was great was talking to staff members who are there to show different items and answer any questions ....

Deborah Roberts

Very informative and fun museum. Beautiful display of uniforms. Incredible artifacts. Some very cool hands-on learning activities. A small museum which we thoroughly enjoyed. Well done QC.

Kari Douglas

Take the lively bus tour ... Loads of fun

Andrew Naylor

Very fun and interactive museum. Great for kids or couples visiting

Gregg Brennan

A small museum, but well worth the time and effort if you're interested in the history surrounding the Seven Years War in North America.

Ron Hebert

A very nice museum. Especially if you like Uniforms. easy to navigate. Highly recommend the film and a shuttle tour of the Plains after.

Laura Iliana Sotomayor Carrillo

A very interesting museum!

Alec James

Nice little museum with a few issues. A little bit child oriented (great if taking kids, a bit basic if not). Displays lacked explanation of the wider context and importance of the battle. Lots of poor English language in the displays which was surprising. Highlights were the display of the British and French regimental uniforms and history, and the excellent audio visual tour of Martello Tower 1.

Maxim Tihonov

Great for first time visitors. A lot to learn about Canada's history, a lot to honor.

Nicolas Martin

An immersive experience that has no equivalent anywhere else. The museum is filled with artifacts and accurate reproductions of the French and Indian War (Guerre de la Conquête) depicting the lives of French and English soldiers, Canadian milicians, and Indian warriors between 1754 and 1763. Pictures speak for themselves. As a history buff (particularly the seven years war), I was delighted by this museum and highly impressed. If there is one museum you should visit in Québec, that's the one. The staff is very nice and helpful.

yanesita mejia

There is a sad history from the past , but is incredible the great way how they grow up. Now is the most beautiful place that i never been ????????

Karenlee Pelletier

We took a bus tour and decided to get off and take this tour, so glad we did. After paying for the tour in the basement, we made our way up to the top floor. We were met by the most amazing guide. She was dressed in period clothing and treated like were we’re in the same era as her. Since our son, who was with us, is in the Canadian Military, she thanked him for his service (very sweet). She then shook her head at my exposed ankles, since I was married she said it was scandalous. LOL The tour and video were a great (albeit short) way to depict the Battle. You should go here when you visit Quebec City.

R S

Good French Canadian history

Bob Frankfurt

Very enthusiastic group of employees! Definitely a must see if you're in town.

Erin P

The good: the 30 minute video is high quality, the exhibition of uniforms, the small display of 'law and order', the map of skirmishes/battles to give perspective on the region. Needs improvement: the exhibits lack depth and there are many opportunities to enrich the content. For example, there's a reference to rationing food - why not show approx what/how little that food was?

Gabriela Carlón

Incredible place to visit and relax

Ana Ferreira

Not worth the money you pay! It's nice but too expensive for what's there to see.

Kyla Thorn

The tour was really entertaining

Ram Selvarajah

Important historical place. A must go to place.

Manuel Maniquis

Learn about the history of Quebec here.

Simon Thomas

A very interesting museum with some interesting exhibits. The staff were very good.

emilie gagnon

Excellent activity for large groups of teens. They love it! Very interactive and engaging.

Louay Jabry

Why not stop by when you are visiting the Plains of Abrahams for an animated history lesson on the significance of the battles and the horrors visited on combatants and civilians.

Pia von Westphalen

Fun experience getting to interact with the exhibit! The staff was really helpful and friendly too.

Débora Said Daibes

Wonderful place

lee koebel

Loved this place

Matt Gordaneer

The only redeeming feature of the museum was seeing the tower (which I believe is closed after labor day). The museum exhibit itself was lacking substance. Further, the documentary video was of low production quality and lacked a narrative.

XX Keller

Love the historical elements.

Heather Devine

We saw The Who in concert at night. The history is very i teresting

Bruce McDonald

Very informative.

Karina M Carreon

Very knowledgeable staff and well curated museum.

corey jenkins

Admission fee is too pricey for what you get in return

Isabelle Zilkha

Nice museum explains the events very well with interactive things to help you learn and understand how it was during the war.

Jagtar Sian

One of the best place to see during your visit to Quebec city. Well put together presentation of struggle of early settlers and hardship of aboriginal people and their families helps one understand history.

Stacy Martin

Great account of the history of our great nation. Worth the trip.

Pascal Cote

(Translated) This place is truly magnificent and very enriching for adults as well as for children, I recommend it to all those who are passionate about history and who love enchanting places. (Original) Ce lieu est vraiment magnifique et très enrichissant pour les adultes autant que pour les enfants je le conseil à tous ceux qui sont passionnés d'histoire et qui aiment les endroits enchanteurs

James Watkins

Interesting museum covering the battle with exhibits in both French and English throughout. Staff were polite and helpful.

J Rhind

It's a good museum for the history. However, not sure if there is enough content to justify entry cost

ddominguez2293

Probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.

Krishna Prasad

Good walk...fresh air and good view of the river and the city

jenny dunkerley

Nothing to write home to

Jian Huang

Probably not worth the hour. But a walk, run around the fort outside is the best no matter when.

Amanda Stanzel

Enjoyable show.

Christine Monk

Museum, bus tour and park visit were excellent. Staff was knowledgable and friendly.A great way to experience Canadian history in an hands on way for the entire family.

I hiked up over the Citadel to the Museum, the restoration work on the fortifications is massive. The museum was interesting although a little sparse, most disappointing was the film about the 7 years war and battles in the area. It was narrated ONLY IN FRENCH! Museums are tourist attractions, this is a missed opportunity to educate others about the battles that laid the foundation for our country. If Francophones want to retain their language and culture they need to realize that education is the best method, and that means making information accessable in English as well as French.

Sean marsh

Lots of history and a nice area to walk around

Chris Taylor

Very well done educational experience

Kevin Purdy

Interesting nice view

Ajay C

Right place to start the plains of abraham

Catherine Mackenzie

Very interesting

lionel Storck

(Translated) Very welcome to start. Then showrooms with a fun approach that makes the visit very pleasant and very informative, you can, for example, touch objects such as muskets, cannon balls etc and try the drum trying to reproduce the classical orders (lift, retreat, dinner ....). The English characters speak French with their characteristic accent .... and the French speak French, just back from the baton. ... everything is full of comical details and well thought out. A short film explains very simply the battles that led to the loss of Quebec to France. The visit ends with an exhibition of well-developed artifacts that perfectly illustrate what life could be like at that time by telling us this page in the history of Quebec. Do not miss. (Original) Très bon accueil pour commencer. Puis des salles d'exposition avec une approche ludique qui rend la visite très agréable et fort instructive, on peut, par exemple, toucher des objets tels que mousquets, boulets de canon etc et s'essayer au tambour en tentant de reproduire les ordres classiques (lever, retraite, souper ....). Les personnages anglais parlent le français avec leur accent caractéristique .... et les français parlent anglais à la française, juste retour du bâton. ... tout est plein de détails cocasses et bien pensés. Un petit film explique très simplement les batailles qui ont abouti à la perte du Québec pour la France. La visite s'achève avec une exposition d'artefacts bien mis en valeur et illustrant parfaitement ce que pouvait être la vie à cette époque en nous racontant cette page de l'histoire du Québec. A ne pas manquer.

(Translated) Visibly very beautiful place from the outside, as for the inside I don't know because I haven't been there. (Original) Lieu visiblement très beau de l'extérieur, pour ce qui est de l'intérieur je ne sais pas car je n'y suis pas allé.

Ray Swiderek

Meh. For such an important battle there was very little information except two listening stations. Park is nice but not much to see except the tower.

Esther Wong

Not much to see. Not very impressed for the price. The movie was very long. Tourist trap.

Theresa Bielawski

Hard to follow the English film as all the voices had a French accent. Too many artifacts. Interesting presentation by the musket gal.

Chung King Wong

It tells you how the warriors play in history and a good place for students to learn the history.

Yoann Lussier

(Translated) History is preserved thanks to the artifacts preserved and presented in this museum. They have many objects of exceptional invoice which belonged as much to the army, as to the militia, as to the colonizing people. The narrative framework followed by the museum gives an objective view of the Quebec past. (Original) L'histoire se préserve grâce aux artefacts conservés et présentés dans ce musée. Ils ont moultes objets de facture exceptionnelle qui ont appartenus autant à l'armée, qu'à la milice, qu'au peuple colonisateur. La trame narrative suivie par le musée donne une vue objective du passé québécois.

Beautiful, historically significant park. On this site a crucial battle occurred that affected the future of Quebec / Canada. Be sure to take time to visit the museum and take a guided bus tour of the park which was both entertaining and informative.

Really interesting museum. Perhaps struggling with the confines of its building... but I quibble.
