(Translated) Super and very interesting.too top the tirolienne???? (Original) Super et très intéressant.trop top la tirolienne????

Eric Taillefer

It’s a very nice place to visit. One of the only granitic cavern in North America. The sightings are great. It takes about 3-4 hours to do everything. The zip lines are a must for the view!

Reyna Ortiz

The caverne was closed, but had a great time

JP

(Translated) It is a great hike for all ages. This is done easily and without too much effort in my opinion. No room for strollers ... 1. Note that the cave is closed due to covid. (Original) C est une belle randonnée pour tous les âges. Ce fait facilement et sans trop d efforts à mon avis. Pas vraiment la place pour les poussettes... 1. A noter que la grotte est fermé dû au covid.

Anne-Marie Catudal

(Translated) The trails are relatively well developed. The visit of the cave is interesting, but fast. At the end of August, the coat was superfluous. My parents enjoyed the video while I was out with my dog. A little expensive for the whole ... (Original) Les sentiers sont relativement bien aménagés. La visite de la caverne est intéressante, mais rapide. À la fin août, le manteau était superflu. Mes parents ont apprécié le vidéo, pendant que je restais dehors avec mon chien. Un peu cher pour l'ensemble...

Fabrice Roy

(Translated) Really beautiful landscape! Beautiful hikes but you have to be in good shape! The cave is easy to access, well laid out and safe. A must in Lac St-Jean! (Original) Vraiment très beau paysage! Belles randonnées mais il faut être en forme! La caverne est facile d'accès, bien aménagée et sécuritaire. Un must au Lac St-Jean!

Jacques Bédard

(Translated) +30 minutes to wait to pay. It's not serious when all I wanted to do was hike. Half-relevant presentation and instructions; to have every path explained to oneself is futile. 1 single counter to pay ... Disappointment …

It's beautiful I recommend it

Peter David

(Translated) Wonderful for people who are in shape (Original) Magnifique pour personnes qui est en forme

Historical village, beautiful fall and river which need a full day to enjoy

Michel La Barre

(Translated) We visited several countries that offer their landscapes as attractions and this park is international in scope without hesitation. (Original) On a visité plusieurs pays qui offrent leurs paysages comme attraits et ce parc est d'envergure internationale sans hésiter.

(Translated) Superb place to walk beautiful walking trails, cave visit is definitely worth it and the guide Mélissa was really friendly. The facilities inspire confidence and the cleanliness of the trails is really good. (Original) Superbe endroit pour marcher dans de beaux sentiers pédestres, visite de la caverne en vaut vraiment la peine et la guide Mélissa était vraiment sympathique. Les installations inspire confiance et la propreté des sentiers est vraiment bien.

L'eau, ça mouille

(Translated) The cave is open again !!! (since July 28, 2021). The site is beautiful, the immersive show is super awesome, the zipline +++, the brand new welcome pavilion +++, the view +++, the walkways and suspension bridges +++, the falls +++ , the staff are so welcoming. In short, the concept is perfect and everything is superbly orchestrated and well done for having thought of putting a person at the reception with an interactive map to explain everything there is to do! Unmissable site and best stop on our trip to Lac St-Jean! (Original) La caverne est de nouveau ouverte!!! (depuis le 28 juillet 2021). Le site est magnifique, le spectacle immersif est hyper génial, la tyrolienne +++, le pavillon d'accueil tout neuf +++, la vue +++, les passerelles et les ponts suspendus +++, les chutes +++, le personnel est tellement accueillant. Bref le concept est parfait et tout est superbement orchestré et bravo pour avoir pensé à mettre une personne à l'accueil avec une carte interactive pour bien nous expliquer tout ce qu'il y a à faire! Site incontournable et meilleur arrêt de notre virée au lac St-Jean!

Small cavern but nice visit

Jean-François Guénet

(Translated) Super site with beautiful hikes with a nice visit to the heart of the cave. Full of beautiful views. It took us about 3-4 to do the trails + the cave with children between 4 and 8 years old …

Renaud Aubineau

(Translated) Very interesting park to visit, you have to go well prepared, because without water it is not possible. The short film at the start is really impressive, worthy of a Futuroscope attraction. For people in wheelchairs it is impossible (or otherwise there may be solutions that I have not seen), and for people with a leg amputation it is very complicated but doable by having a good physical condition. The big downside is that there are views that are not maintained, so we do not see the landscape that the park wants us to discover. (Original) Parc très intéressant à visiter, il faut y aller bien préparé, car sans eau c’est pas possible. Le petit film au départ est vraiment impressionnant, digne d’une attraction du Futuroscope. Pour les personnes en fauteuil roulant c’est impossible (ou sinon il y a peut-être des solutions que je n’ai pas vu), et pour les personnes amputé d’une jambe c’est très compliqué mais faisable en ayant une bonne condition physique. Le gros bémol est qu’il y a des points de vue qui ne sont pas entretenus, donc on ne voit pas le paysage que le parc souhaite nous faire découvrir.

Patrice Lemieux

(Translated) WoW! Beautiful place, the trails are beautiful although a little difficult for places. (Original) WoW! Magnifique endroit, les sentiers sont beaux quoi qu’un peu difficile pour par endroit.

Jean-Francois Dugal

Great place to visit. Lots of stairs.

Valentyna Bobro

A magical place. Beautiful and peacefull.

Emilie St-Hilaire

The web site does not say the cave is closed so it was disappointing to find out once there. They obviously want people to come anyway but should charge less $$. They do take debit even though the web site says cash only. Hike around falls is nice, lots of stairs and inclines.

Caroline Delafaite

(Translated) What a great discovery !!! Plan at least half a day to see the entire Fairy Hole Park. Count $ 30 per person who gives you access to the entire park, to an immersive 360 ° sound and light show and to enter the cave of the fairy hole. The site is very well presented when arriving using a 3D map on their flat screen. The visual show lasts 21 minutes and relates the history and significant events of this place. You have to climb to reach the cave, the descent is very impressive, because the passage is quite narrow and the ground is very slippery. It is 5 ° C and 96% humidity, it is not recommended to go into the cave for claustrophobic people. then you can wander freely in the various walking trails to see the falls, take the hooked footbridges or the suspended bridges and you will go up the green belt. We highly recommend this site! Please note, the site closes mid-October. (Original) Quelle belle découverte!!! Prévoyez au moins une demie journée pour voir l'ensemble du parc du trou de la fée. Comptez 30$ par personne qui vous donne accès à l'entièreté du parc, à un spectacle immersif son et lumières à 360° et à pénétrer dans la caverne du trou de la fée. Le site est très bien présenté en arrivant à l'aide d'un plan en 3D sur leur écran plat. Le show visuel dure 21 minutes et relate l'histoire et les événements marquants de ce lieu. Il faut monter pour rejoindre la caverne, la descente est très impressionnant, car le passage est assez exiguë et le sol est très glissant. Il fait 5°C et 96% d'humidité, il est déconseillé d'aller dans la caverne pour les personnes claustrophobes. puis vous pouvez déambuler librement dans les différents sentiers de promenade pour voir les chutes, emprunter les passerelles accrochées ou encore les ponts suspendus et vous remonterez part la coulée verte. Nous recommandons chaudement ce site! Attention, le site ferme mi-octobre.

Daniel Preda

Worth the trip. Trails are amazing... Like a fairy paradise

TheBoutBout

Amazing and beautiful! The video projected on the rock was amazing! It's something you can’t miss!

Jo Morin

A nice visit I may recommend, if your out of shape like to bring an extra set of clothe. It's not a super physical experience still you need to climb up a natural staircase and the cavern is a bit of workout.

Mikaël Goyette

Amazing 360 degrees, multi-senses multimedia presentation at the beginning, beautiful landscapes and walking trails, and a nice cozy hole in the ground. Downside is, you must be in peak physical shape to even make it to the main attraction, as you have to climb down a mountain, cross the river, then climb back up another mountain, visit the hole, and do the entire thing again in reverse... and there's only an actual walking trail during the first half; the climb up is genuine rock climbing with no handrails or anything... my 70+ years old grandma didn't exactly appreciate the ordeal. And if you make it to the hole but are even slightly overweight, or have knee issues or something, you'll be unable to visit the darn thing because of how treacherous it is. And of course, none of this is advertised; no warning or anything. There's not even bathrooms, drinking fountains or a gift shop to buy a water bottle at, and the staff looks dead inside for the most part. Despite all this sham, I recommend going there if you're physically able to, and well prepared in advance, as the area itself is beautiful, and it's worth the entrance fee for the multimedia presentation alone

Michelle D'Souza

Fun experience! The immersive video was done well. The cave was a good time. I wish they took us further down in the cave. …

Andrei Sinkevich

5+ Stars. Great place to visit and have unforgettable experience for the entire family! Tyroline is amazing! Price is affordable. Will recommend to all our friends! My advice is to have 1 litter of water to be happy during the visit, it …

Madhu Malla

Best time for hike ... you are in the middle of nature ..great view. Loads of work out in nature.. you get see different type of wild mushrooms.

Eric Hogue

Very beautiful site. The entire family loved it

Serguei “Serge” Obolenski

Very beautiful place. However visits to the cave should be better organized, maybe smaller groups, better explanation of what to expect etc.

Marco

(Translated) Very nice site, with a little historical side, hiking, table site for meals and other activities. Somewhat expensive for a family that wants all activities. No family price. …

J-S Roy

(Translated) Very nice experience. The day went very well. The trails are well signposted. Nice place to take a walk. (Original) Très belle expérience. La journée s'est très bien passé. Les sentiers sont bien indiqué. Bel endroit pour faire une promenade.

(Translated) The cave cannot be visited because of the covid. Superb place. Beautiful trails. Interior projection projected on rock. If you did not watch it it is not dramatic because average. (Original) La caverne ne peut pas être visité à cause de la covid. Superbe endroit. Beaux sentiers. Projection intérieure projetée sur le rock. Si vous ne la regardé pas ce n'est pas dramatique car moyen.

Martine Charpentier

(Translated) Really beautiful park !! Well laid out, they went to great lengths to get access !! And it's really worth it !! And the cavern, very cool, can be short as a visit but worth the trip. Allow at least 3 hours for the …

Tyler Durden

Wonderful place to be amongst nature. The multimedia section when you arrive is mesmerizing. Would love to play acoustic guitar in that room. ????

Eder Matias

(Translated) We had the opportunity to see the most beautiful waterfalls in the region. Trail of all levels (easy to difficult), personal well prepared to welcome the tourist. Book or less 4 hours to take advantage of the attractions. (Original) On a eu l'opportunité de voir les plus belles chutes de la région. Sentier de tout les niveaux (facile à difficile), personnelle bien préparé pour accueillir le touriste. Réservez ou moins 4 hr pour profiter bien les attractifs.

Steve M Graham

(Translated) We could not visit the cave although it had been open since July 27. We could not book either. We did not say that it was limited space, like first come first served ... In short, we couldn't visit the cave. It was 2:30 p.m. In addition, the road is extremely damaged. Serious avoidance and prompt braking must be done to avoid damage to the cars. Fairly limited parking with trailer. (Original) On ne pouvait pas visiter la caverne malgré qu'elle était ouverte depuis le 27 juillet. On ne pouvait pas non plus réservé. On ne disait pas que c'était place limité, genre premier rendu premier servi... Bref, on ne pouvait pas visiter la caverne. Il était 14h30. De plus, la route est extrêmement endommagé. On doit faire de sérieux évitement ainsi que des freinages promptu pour éviter des dommages aux voitures. Stationnement avec roulotte, assez restreint.

EMERY AGNAN

(Translated) Nice discovery. Honestly impressed. I highly recommend it. (Original) Belle découverte. Honnêtement impressionné. Je le recommande fortement.

Richard Cote

(Translated) Fairly simple walking route. Visit of the very rugged Cave. Not really suitable for people with reduced mobility. I loved the visit to the park. You have to take the time. There may be a 2-3 hour delay between admission and visiting the cave. (Original) Parcours de marche assez simple. Visite de la Caverne très accidenté. Pas vraiment fait pour personne à mobilité réduite. J' ai adoré la visite du parc. Faut prendre le temps. Il peut y avoir un délai de 2-3 heures entre l'admission et la visite de la caverne.

Steph

Good place, just wish that their trail difficulties would be posted. The trails are really really rocky where you have to place your footing. Not easy and maybe borderline difficult as oppose to easy/intermediate

Hiri Rau

(Translated) Beautiful trails. To visit (Original) Magnifiques sentiers. À visiter

Carle Falardeau

(Translated) Rural place steeped in history. Nice hike with the family. (Original) Lieu champêtre et chargé d'histoire. Belle randonnée en famille.

Ysabelle Emond

(Translated) Do not expect to see a beautiful fairy! Otherwise it is a very nice excursion to do as a family with children aged 8 and over in my opinion because it is quite difficult physically. …

Zihan Cai

LOVED the trails!

Dora Dumont

(Translated) Very nice site to see absolutely. Beautiful terrific hike. (Original) Très beau site à voir absolument. Belle randonnée formidable.

Slightly overpriced, but it stil worth it. The canyon is beautiful and the cavern quite impressive! Pack a lunch, no restaurant when we visited with the kids.

Michael Hebert

The new path that goes through the old ruins, with the suspended bridges, is a very nice addition to the park.

Enguerrand Meyrat

We arrived at 3pm to visit the cave. After spending $$$ for one adult and 2 kids to visit the cave and 1 adult to walk the paths with 2 kids too small for the cave, we were given cave tickets. At no point were we told that our tickets were for a certain tour time (it stated it on the other side of the cave ticket, but we didn't examine all sides of the tickets). Instead, young children climbed to the cave only to find out our cave tour was for 6pm, three hours after we arrived. They should have stated at the ticket counter the time of the next cave tour so we could decide whether or not to spend the money. But they didn't and also didn't refund our money for the cave tour portion. The rest of the walk is very pretty, but not worth the entrance price.

Sebastien Sauriol

(Translated) Very nice family experience (with children aged 5 and 9). We walked for more than 3 hours on trails that are still difficult sometimes for children and everything went well. Some suspension bridges are part of the trails, several lookouts, waterfalls ... unfortunately the cave was still closed to visitors but the nature experience is very good. (Original) Très belle expérience en famille (avec des enfants de 5 et 9 ans). Nous avons marché plus de 3 heures sur des sentiers quand même difficiles parfois pour des enfants et tout s'est bien passé. Quelques ponts suspendus font partie des sentiers, plusieurs belvédères, des chutes... malheureusement la caverne était encore fermée aux visiteurs mais l'expérience nature est très bien.

Pouts L

(Translated) Very nice place to visit! Beautiful trails, not very long but not easy either because of the relief! There are suspended walkways and great views of the river! The pavilion is very new and there is a multimedia show of about 20 minutes included in the price of the visit. Due to covid, the cave is unfortunately closed in 2020. (Original) Très bel endroit à visiter! De beaux sentiers, pas hyper long mais pas facile non plus en raison du relief! Il y a des passerelles suspendues et de superbe points de vues de la rivière! Le pavillon est très récent et il y a un spectacle multimédia d'environ 20 minutes inclus dans le prix de la visite. À cause de la covid, la caverne est malheureusement fermée en 2020.

(Translated) Very nice place to discover. (Original) Très bel endroit a decouvrir.

Stéphane L'Heureux

(Translated) Nice place, but the main attraction is closed due to COVID! ???? Moreover, nothing told us when we bought our passport that the cave was closed ... ???? (Original) Belle place,mais le principal attrait est fermé du a la COVID!???? De plus rien nous indiquait a l'achat de notre passeport que la grotte était fermé...????

Krasimira Raykova

I expected a bigger cave. It's really small one. But the park is nice.

K Cianflone

All of the pictures and ads imply that these are bat caves. In fact there are no bats to see. The bats hibernate there in winter, when the caves are closed to the public. So the caves are interesting, but not worth the hype and expensive entrance fee. The trails and historic ruins/remnants are interesting and nice for walking around (but again, too expensive!).

Yan Mei wu

The cave was good but too short and it had a nice trail and the movie was at the start and awesome thing to look

Great

Frédéric Bastien

(Translated) Very nice place. Plan a good 3 hours or more and a good walking shoe. We couldn't go to the cave because the reservations were made too late for us. So get there early or have time to make sure you don't miss it like we did! We're going to go back to the cave. (Original) Tres belle place. Prévoir un bon 3h ou plus et de bon soulier de marche. On a pas pus aller à la grotte car les réservations était rendu trop tard pour nous. Donc arriver tôt ou ayez du temps pour être sûr de ne pas le manquer comme nous! On va y retourner pour la grotte.

Nadia Surprenant

Njj Bou

(Translated) Nice place to go for a walk (Original) Belle place ou aller marcher

Marjorie L

(Translated) It's worth the detour! We enjoyed our experience! However I will return there better "shod" next time. Some trails are rockier and it's slippery a bit. You still have to be "in basic" shape. I would advise against it for people with reduced mobility. (Original) Ça vaut le détour! Nous avons apprécié notre expérience! Cependant j'y retournerai mieux "chaussé" la prochaine fois. Certain sentier sont plus rocailleux et ça glisse un peu. Il faut quand même être "en forme" de base. Je le déconseillerais par contre aux gens à mobilité réduite.

laure delambre

Great view, very nice walk, cave closed right now because of covid though Really nice people at the entrance No toilets or water on the walk, and loots of mosquitoes, but the view was well worth it !

Daphné Brassard

(Translated) We have adored! Visiting the cave is a must, but employees should advise that it is not for everyone. Two people in our group turned back as they were physically limited and didn't know some passages were difficult. (Original) Nous avons adoré! La visite de la caverne est un must, mais les employés devraient aviser que ce n'est pas pour tout le monde. Deux personnes de notre groupe ont rebroussé chemin car ils étaient limités physiquement et ne savait pas que certains passages étaient difficiles.

Great place for a day's walk

Phil Laps

(Translated) Beautiful trail, unfortunately the cave was closed and the zip line also due to the rain. The place is beautiful to visit, but for $ 23 per adult it is expensive to pay to walk in the forest. (Original) Beau sentier, malheureusement la caverne était fermée et les zip line aussi à cause de la pluie. L'endroit est Beau à visiter, mais pour 23 $ par adulte c'est cher payé pour marcher en forêt.

Mélissa Girard

(Translated) Great the hiking trails are well done. Very natural. The immersive show is definitely worth it (Original) Super les pistes de randonnée sont bien faites. Très naturelles. Le spectacle immersif en vaut vraiment la peine

M Florea

It's a nice place to visit for a bit of hiking, going down into a small cave, etc. I had fun crossing the suspended bridges. The road to it is in poor condition.

Amelie Joyal

(Translated) We are a family of 6, we loved this activity. The little movie is well done and interesting, the trails are well maintained and fairly easy. Our 13, 8 and 6 year old boys didn't complain that they were bored! Only problem: certain place, the path is narrow and the slope is steep, I was a little afraid for my youngest a little clumsy maos everything went well Our baby is in a baby carrier so it went well. It is impossible to walk around with a stroller. * in time of covid, we could not visit the cave, it is closed. (Original) Nous sommes une famille de 6, nous avons adoré cet activité. Le petit film est bien fait et intéressant, les sentiers sont bien entretenus et assez facile. Nos garçons de 13, 8 et 6 ans ne se sont pas plains qu'ils étaient tannée! Seul hic: certain endroit, le chemin est étroit et la pente est escarpé, j'avais un peu peur pour mon plus jeune un peu maladroit maos tout s'est bien passé Notre bébé est en porte-bébé donc ça a bien été. Il est impossible de se balader avec une poussette. * en temps de covid, nous n'avons pas pu visiter la caverne, elle est fermée.
