From March 1 to 9, the Observatoire de la Capitale is inviting families to visit Québec City’s highest point. Located on the 31st floor of the Marie-Guyart building, this iconic venue offers a breathtaking view of the city and activities specially designed for all generations.
Program:
In Search of the Lost Explorer!
An explorer on a mission has disappeared without a trace. With the help of a questionnaire , visitors will set off in search of clues along the way to follow in the explorer’s footsteps. Guides will be there to help you with your search and answer any questions you may have.
Creative Play Area
Families can take advantage of an area reserved for fun and creative activities. Children will have the opportunity to assemble puzzles illustrating the spectacular view from the Observatory, or colour in the capital’s attractions visible from the heights. The most inspired can also draw what they see by observing their surroundings. As an added bonus, their masterpieces will be on display all week at the Observatory, and can be entered in a contest, with exclusive puzzles to be won.
Two Audio-Guided Tours
Two audio-guided tours are available to help you explore Québec City from different angles. Plongée panoramique, a panoramic dive into the historic sites and iconic locations that the capital is famous for. Perspective insolite, an unusual perspective of the lively neighbourhoods and little-known spots that give Québec City its unique character.
Horizons Experience
The illustrated and immersive Horizons Experience depicts key moments in the capital’s history, with information on Québec City’s society, politics and culture. A kid’s-height hand-illustrated quiz game also enables them to learn more.
An Affordable Outing for the Whole Family

As always, admission is free for children aged 6 and under. All activities are included with admission. We recommend you book your ticket online.
