The museum is a very cool experience and especially with kids! The staff is super helpful and nice. The place is well adapted to handicapped and kids. It's a bit small but it's packed tight with objects. There is one guided exposition with a cool archeology activity!

(Translated) Super Archeology Museum in La Prairie, small but VAST in emblematic objects of the past of the region. In total, the Museum's collection includes more than 25,000 objects, fragments of vase, billhook, horseshoe, coins, toys, and many other artifacts, some of which date back 5,000 years before today.

Arnaud Laval

(Translated) Very nice experience: welcome, exhibition, guided tour. Perfect for children, both in explanations and simulation excavations and to replace objects buried in time. The big ones are not left out either. A small museum certainly, but a hidden treasure! (Original) Très belle expérience: accueuil, exposition, visite guidée. Parfait pour les enfants, tant dans les explications que la simulation de fouilles et de replacer les objets enfouis dans le temps. Les grands ne sont pas en reste non plus. Un petit musé certes, mais un trésor caché!

Henry Mottesheard

Small museum on the outskirts of Montreal displays the history of the country side from the 17th century. Some exhibits are in French, however the staff was very helpful translating, providing tours in both French and English. There are also interactive activities for kids, such as an archeological dig, teaching children how to unearth artifacts then use deductive reasoning to place it in the right time period. There are sometimes special exhibits as well. When visiting in Aug 2018, there was an exhibit on forgeries. Admission prices are reasonable (see picture of rates).

Nice, small museum. Staff is very knowledgeable. The guided tour can easily take 1.5 hours, ehich is surprising for such a small place. The permanent exhibit retraces histrory through artefacts from the native americains through to now. There is a junior archeologist dig at the end of the visit, very cool, the kids loved it. Interesting for kids and for interested adult.

If you love archeology and a little bit of La Prairie's history, this is a nice place to start. It took us about 1h30 for the visit. Don't forget to make your reservation online before your visit. It's free!
