Seeing the Québec Capitales in action is always a blast, for seasoned baseball fans and newbies alike. An evening at the ballpark is definitely worth including in any summer trip to Québec City. Here’s why we love booking tickets to see the Capitales.

1The Level of Play Is Impressive
Watching professional players in action is always impressive. Trust us: it’s a far cry from your friendly neighbourhood game! The Capitales play in the Frontier League and have been crowned league champions a whopping eight times (including in 2022). We’re talking serious professional baseball.

2The Vibe Is Super Festive
Capitales games are thrilling for fans but are also known for being a great party! The weekly games are designed to be fun for everyone. We’re especially fond of the fireworks on Friday nights.
And the themed nights throughout the season really get the people going.

3The Location Is Perfect
Canac Stadium is in the heart of the city, so it’s easy to get there on foot, by bike, with a car, or using public transit. The stadium has a big parking lot, and parking is free on game days. Insider tip: get there early to find a spot and enjoy the pre-game festivities!
There’s also a stunning view of the city and the gorgeous trees in Victoria Park from the bleachers, especially if you take seats in Section 1. Plus, it’s in Saint-Roch, which has tons of great options for a pre-game meal, as well as places to wrap up the evening in style. Another option is to take the overpass across the Laurentienne Highway and walk or bike to Limoilou for a drink or a bite to eat before or after the game.

4It’s a Classic Family Outing
Finding activities that are fun for both kids and parents can sometimes be a challenge, but a Capitales game spells fun for everyone. Kids love the Family Zone, where they can run around, play on the bouncy castle, eat ice cream, and meet the team mascot, Capi. Kids are welcome at all Capitales games, but Sunday is family day!

5Tickets are Super Affordable
Going to a game at an arena or stadium can be pretty pricey these days, but not when it’s the Capitales! General admission for adults starts at $12. That’s cheaper than going to the movies! And with all the game-day deals, food and drinks are really affordable as well!
At $20 and $23, respectively, upper-level and box seats are also a great deal. The Blaxton Zone is another good option: tickets start at $32 and include three adult drinks.
For all types of tickets, it’s best to book in advance to avoid the lineup at the ticket booth!
