(Translated) I went with my little son (6 years) in the spring of 2019, we did not take the tour but my little son liked it (me too) he wanted to redo the course a second Twice (twice in a row), yesterday the 7th of September he asked me to go back, I checked on Google and it said closed at 17:00! We arrived at 13:30 and unfortunately the door was barred what a disappointment ???? (Original) J’y suis allée avec mon p’tit fils ( 6ans ) au printemps 2019 , nous n’avons pas pris la visite guidée mais mon p’tit fils a tellement aimé ( moi aussi) qu’il a voulu refaire le parcours une deuxième fois ( deux fois de suite) , hier le 7septembre il m’a demandé d’y retourner, j’ai vérifié sur Google et ça indiquait ferme à 17:00 ! Nous nous sommes présentés à 13:30 et malheureusement la porte était barrée quelle déception ????

(Translated) We went during the school break. Beautiful permanent exhibition, interesting experiences for children, explanations of the guide very clear. We could also visit the James Bay power station by video headset with 3D vision On the other hand, the workshop before the visit, which was normally for children aged 10 and over during the break, organized by an external Profaqua partner, was rather very easy and suitable for 6 to 10 years old ... But smiling animator and dynamic. (Original) Nous y sommes allés pendant la relâche scolaire. Belle exposition permanente, expériences intéressantes pour les enfants, explications du guide très claires. On pouvait aussi visiter la centrale de Baie James par casque video avec vision 3D Par contre, l'atelier avant la visite, qui était normalement pour les enfants de 10 ans et plus pendant la relâche, organisée par un partenaire externe Profaqua, était plutôt très facile et adaptée pour les 6 à 10 ans... Mais animatrice souriante et dynamique.

Reasonably interesting place to spend 45 minutes. The museum is only open on guided tours which you sign up for on arrival.we were the only family on the English tour. Aimed at probably 8-12 year olds it was an interesting look at how electricity is generated and distributed. Not worth a long drive, but if you are local or passing through it is a good way to spend an hour.

Dominique Thériault

Really great activity to do with the whole family or just by yourself. One of the rare activities that are actually 100% free even packing, big bonus. it's not a big place but doesn't have to be because everything is well set up and cool and interactive. better suited for children 6-99 although I went with my almost 3year old daughter and had lots of fun. they even have a cool lightning ball that puts static in your hair it's really cool... I will be going back with my 7 year old as she did not get to go yet. you can take a guided tour that is about 1h30min or walk through freely both are great options and staff are super nice. voluntary donations are accepted but are not necessary.

Catalin Gruia

I will start with one of the best parts : the tour it is completely free. Then, another best part of course, it is that you can learn a bunch of things about electricity with a trained guide. This activity is good for both children and parents and you can spend several hours without getting bored.
