Don't make the mistake of missing out on this attraction while you're in the area. It's super close to Quebec city and very easy to get to. The pictures don't do it justice, so don't skim over this location while planning your trip. A few pointers, if you're planning on going. EAT BEFORE AND BRING YOUR OWN DRINK. I payed... More

There is a comfortable wooden walkway from Manoir Montmorency to the Falls, excellent poins where you can make pictures, the bridge over the falls you may be scared to walk. When we approached the other side of the canyon, we saw a beautiful rainbow above the river. This is an excellent place to visit while you are in Quebec city.

A definite place to stop as the high falls splash down amid multiple rainbows. The walking paths are in excellent condition and allow you to walk up one side of the falls and down the other. The gondola for the return was not in service the day we visited. There are well designed observation spots and a walking bridge right... More

Well worth the side trip from Quebec City. An accessible natural wonder. The province is meticulous with their maintenance. Gondola ride was efficient with gorgeous view of falls and pond. Nice boardwalk to falls, and good trails on other side of bridge.

this is an area that you must put on your agenda when visiting Quebec. close to the city you can also rent bicycles and ride to this location. It will take you 90 minutes round trip of riding. Pack a lunch it will make for a memorable day.

The falls are great but there seemed nothing else to recommend the park. Can$11 to park, only three disabled parking places and the (helpful) guy who was organising the parking asked me to go in a small space by driving over the flower bed! It was a good thing I was in a Jeep… I am not putting down the... More

Definitely go up to the bridge spanning over the Falls to get a unexpected view of the Falls. The coffee parlour in front of the Falls serves great coffee. Definitely a photographers paradise. On a bright sunny day you could see a no of rainbows from the mist created by the Falls.

Beautiful falls in a nicely kept park. Some walking involved, but worth it. Try Sunday brunch in the nearby park restaurant, or just a beer on the patio. Nice.

We visited these falls on a bus tour from Quebec City so like all bus tours you don't get to spend enough time. We went up on the gondola ( for a fee) which gives you great views, we even saw guys fly fishing. But if you are fit and have lots of time, it is possible to walk up... More

Well worth the 15 minute drive from Old Quebec. If you don't want to rent a car, take a taxi, it is well worth the trip. Absolutely gorgeous waterfall. If you do rent a car, go across the bridge to Isle d'Orleans and drive around the small island. It is filled with quaint little stone houses and cottages, and quite... More
