battlefields park (parc des champs-de-bataille)

My wife and I went to the Winter Carnival and had a great time despite it being VERY cold, but this carnival is clearly a big part of the city's culture and is very well put on. The park was the site of the majority of the activities and is very spacious and has nice views of the St. Lawrence river from atop the hillside in close proximity to the citadel, a fort sitting aside from the park.

hi, if you like a walk or see a great park, it will take you a while to see it all,be lovely for a picnic, enjoy the history

nice place to walk through, close to all the other sights of old quebec. Lots of history here. Nice spot on a sunny day

A very large park, with plenty of open spaces. Gardens, flowers, fountains, sun and shade. If you like some green spaces, don't miss it.

We had a few hours to spare whilst in Quebec and decided to visit the park and the Discovery Centre. We weren't sure what to expect but we thought that this was a fabulous place to visit. We were in the centre for over two hours. There was so much information and things to look at and watch. It was simply overwhelming. We weren't terribly clear about the history of Canada, but this explained everything. The display of both Army's uniforms and how they were made and when they were re-issued was amazing. We would thoroughly recommend this to anyone interested in finding out more about Quebec's involvement in making Canada what it is today.

I had been a very big fan of history especially the eseven years war. For me this was a moment where I was taken to where the most decisive battle of the conflict took place. It was a very powerful time for me. There are beautiful views everywhere. It is so hard to believe this pastoral setting was the scene of such struggles. We went through the museum and also did the bus tour. I cannot say enough that this is a must see site. During the summer there is usually music <We saw Paul McCartney back in '08 with half a million quebecois. It was one of the most amzing times we've ever had. It is also the scen of many activities during the Winter Carnival. Make it a point to get here in your lifetime!

We thoroughly enjoyed the National Battlefields Park Museum, which included the three-theatre presentation, “Odyssey: a Journey through History on the Plains of Abraham.” The presentation, which surveys Québec City’s history using a focus on the Plains of Abraham, was not only informative, but often whimsical and amusing. A fascinating museum exhibit follows the last of the three theatres.

An easy walk and a peaceful setting now. Good views while walking and usually not too crowded. It covers a large area so do as much or as little as you want.

Very much enjoyed the history lesson provided at the Battlefields Park on the Plains of Abraham. The park is easily walkable and the venues are low cost and high in historic value. Whether you are a Canadian or a American there is a lot of history that is brought forward here that wasn;t taught in history classes!

We discovered the park our first day and take a daily jaunt, discovering more each time. This is a great place to stroll or run. The nature trail is very relaxing and so verdant in the summer. Check out the fountains, the views, and the beautiful gardens. My favorite was the St. Joan of Arc statue and gardens. This is truly a world-class garden stop. Find it and enjoy.

I made a tour visit, arranged in the tourism' office, with my wife and I adored. I was lucky to get a young female tourist guide that it was so nice and informative. Look for Noémie Martin-Chouinard. The day was rainy and my Canon complain a little bit but I got out knowing a little bit why the French and the British don't like each other.

Beautiful park overlooking the water. Great place to spend a quiet afternoon. Lots of history and gorgeous, well-maintained gardens

Very nice view overlooking the Saint LawrenceGot great pictures of the kids standing next to cannonsWe parked across the street at Laval University, so this park is where we started everyday

Beautifully preserved with abundant signage and informative brochures. Views are breathtaking. Clean and we felt very safe walking the whole length of the park. 5-stars!

This is a real bargain for first time visitors. The bus tour guides, picked up at the Discovery Station inside the park, are humorous, informative and well versed in the history of this famous site.
