Savour an Authentic Sugar Shack Dining Experience
Grand Marché de Québec
Treat your taste buds and stock up on maple syrup at the region’s sugar shacks. To experience the festive sugar shack atmosphere right in the city, head to the Grand Marché de Québec for the Érablière urbaine event.

Since April weather can be unpredictable, it’s always a good idea to have a plan B to stay entertained and dry. Whether you feel like swimming as if it were summer at Bora Parc or bouncing on giant trampolines at iSaute, there’s a wide range of indoor activities for families to enjoy in the region.
To extend your adventures, the 5/20 Passport is an excellent option: it gives you 20% off admission to five major attractions, making it an easy and cost-effective way to experience even more indoor activities.
Relax and Recharge at a Nordic Spa or Health Centre
After a winter spent playing outdoors and trying out new activities, it’s time to treat yourself to a revitalizing moment at one of the region’s Nordic spas or wellness centres. Massages, thermal baths, body wraps, beauty treatments… your body and mind will surely thank you.
