lanteri salvatore

Such a neat piece of history I've visited and it brings right into time like somewhat 500 yrs back very nicely done and every artifact is precisely explained very nicely done

Peter Arth

Pretty cool to see what's beneath the Dufferin Terrace. They seem to have spent a lot of money to preserve the space, but the wow factor doesn't seem to be there.

This was cool if you like history and old ruins. Loved it. The Xplorers booklet taught my kids lots and kept them interested as well. A few of the activities (dressing up) weren't available when we were there, which disappointed the kids.

It was boring i hated looking at old things

Shyla Tibando

I had no idea this gem of a structure existed until I wandered over to the Parks Canada Kiosk. I highly recommend going through the museum. It is very well put together. My 11 year old enjoyed it too.

I do love history, seeing this place was quite cool. It is an underground museum of the original Chateau Louis from mid 1700's. There are lots of interactive information that tells you about each room in the cellar. They have exhibits of artefacts dating from mid 1700's, the time Louis built and lived in the chateau, to the 1800's with the final inhabitants of English aristocracy. Because the chateau burned down in mid 1800's, the only part of it that remained is the underground cellar where the servants worked, cooking meals and doing laundering. It is a very important piece of Quebec's history, well worth to go and see if you like historical preservation. The cost is very agreeable.

An amazing experience

Crystal

You can take a peek at the ruins below from the terrace. There is a sort of "sunroof" that allows you to look below. However, the guided tour would have been great so we could see it all.

Mark Ebden

Thank you to the friendly and helpful staff member on site at the exhibits (25 Sept evening) -- having someone passionate about history on hand made a difference.

Google Guide

Fablous piece of history being unearthed, under the boardwalk, for people to discover.

Jacques Goulet

(Translated) Impressive quality of the site and artefacts, inexpensive for what we learn about the beginnings of the colony. If you can visit the site under the promenade, it's exhilarating! (Original) Qualité du site et des artéfacts impressionnante, pas cher pour ce que l'on y apprend sur les début de la colonie. Si vous pouvez visiter le site sous la promenade, c'est grisant!

Keith Hanlan

This museum of archaeological artifacts is fabulous. The construction under the boardwalk is fascinating, the interactive displays are well conceived, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The price is very reasonable. My wife, sister, and myself were engaged for at least two hours. I highly recommend this museum.

Normand Pauzé

(Translated) Under the Dufferin Terrace, informative visit, staff with very good knowledge of the area, $ 3.90 for a little education, it is not very expensive (Original) Sous la Terrasse Dufferin, visite instructive,ppersonnel avec de très bonne connaissance des lieux, 3.90$ pour s instruire un peu, c est pas très dispendieux

Queade Di Ilio

Very intetesting. I recommmend taking the tour rather than self directed... Tour guides are very informative and knowledgable. A must visit for Old Quebec City. Just under Dufferin Boardwalk...

Sunrose Heer

Its just an amazing experience to see that what could possibly be built 3-400 years ago, the architect and engineering is amazing. The Jar/Vase in the site is more than 200 years old. Definitely visit if you like history or engineering. The fridge is the famous attraction in there.

Awesome place to visit. Pretty amazing that after so many years, it's still standing

Marie-Annick Vigneault

(Translated) You can take a guided tour (fixed schedule). We opted for the free tour, but there are many explanatory panels to inform us and employees to answer our questions as needed. My children (9 and 12 years old) loved to discover these vestiges of the past and learn about Quebec City and its governors over time. In my opinion it is a must see when visiting Castle Frontenac. (Original) Vous pouvez faire une visite guidée (horaire fixe). Nous avons opté pour la visite libre, mais il y a beaucoup de panneaux explicatifs pour nous informer et des employés pour répondre à nos questions au besoin. Mes enfants (9 et 12 ans) ont adoré découvrir ces vestiges du passé et en apprendre sur la Ville de Québec et ses gouverneurs au fil du temps. Selon moi c'est un incontournable à voir lors de votre visite au abord du château Frontenac.

Ray Cushing

I liked it and the price was right. $3.50 I think? Just being underground and cool for 30 minutes was worth It! Besides that it was also quite interesting.

Martine Lelievre

Liked going through it, it was nice

Roxanne Beland

(Translated) We enjoyed our visit here. We were on a guided tour in French but English was available as well as the self-guided tour. The guide answered our questions as best as he could and we made the visit a success. It was interesting. Duration of 45 min. (Original) Nous avons bien aimé notre visite ici. Nous avons été en visite guidée en français mais l'anglais était disponible ainsi que la visite auto-guidé. Le guide a répondu nos questions aussi bien qu'il pouvait et on a bien animé la visite. C'était bien intéressant. Durée de 45 min.

Clinton B

Extremely confusing, actors not in English, missing directions/entrance sign/staff at each room to explain things and didn't even have pencils for their own books. Overall it is the ruined remains under the concrete patio that are intriguing but impossible to visualize - especially with all the modern day pipes overhead. Potentially one of the worst historic sites we have seen of the 30+ so far.

Francois Houde

Zeus Life

It's ok, but the sheer history and grandness of digs like this in Europe make this exhibit kind of a joke as far as I'm concerned.

Binghao Feng

Very interesting peek into the past of Quebec. It's not a big space but a guided tour is a must to get all the information and history from this crypt. Lots of recovered artifacts on display.

John & Amy Miller

Don't miss a chance to see these ruins. Very interesting. Detailed self guided information.

Serge Michaud

(Translated) Very good. Not very long as a route but super interesting. Super affordable price. (Original) Super bien. Pas très long comme parcours mais super intéressant. Prix super abordable.

It's cool seeing what was on the site of Dufferin Terrace but it's only really for history buffs in my opinion.

Pedro Ramos

(Translated) Beautiful view (Original) Hermosa vista

William Pare

This was such an amazing place to visit. The atmosphere was incredible. When I went they were setting off fireworks across the river. There are many tourists and it is very crowded at sometimes. But we'll worth the wait for the food near

Erin Steadman

Awesome. Can't wait to go back
