Such a great stop on the way from Montreal to Quebec city. Not far from hwy 40. Some unique interactive activities and super nice and knowledgeable staff. The grounds kept in great shape.
Amazing opportunity to learn about start of the steel & iron industry in Canada. Canada parks pass is valid here and youth are free. Expect to spend at least 2-3 hours here to experience everything.
Great for showing how Canada's metal industry started. Good grounds for walking around, self guided or just wandering. Lots of parking, reasonable entrance fees for family. Nice movie about the history of the area!
A decent museum at the site of Canada's first industrial complex. I'm glad that I came here. The kids loved dressing up twice here.
**Temporary 3 stars Review** Great place to learn Canada's first industrial site history. The museum has rich details and information about the people who used to live there centuries ago from the French, British and Canadian colony/era. There are as well picnic tables, hiking trails45 mins walk to enjoy. And there is also the Fred Pellerin audio guide which is available for 11$ Only in french!. When I always have a tour in Park Canada's historic sites I am always amazed by my tour guides as they teach me new stuff. However, on the 02/10/2021 at 2:10 pm, I felt that the visit was instead a question period instead of a tour guide. Instead of teaching us new stuff, our guide gave us 10 minutes to explore the room. At the end of the 10 mins, if no questions were asked, we changed room. However, I must admit that at the end maquette room He gave us a little bit of information after the video. However, I do believe that the video gave us more information than the tour guide that I had on this day. In the end, it was probably the tour guy that was not entertaining that day. I am willing to come back and have another tour. I would then give it a 4 stars review if things will be different from my previous tour. Still, the museum is still worth to learn new stuff about Canada's history. Give it a try!:
Nice trail and interesting area! Clean and accessible
Found out about this site while visiting La Mauricie National Park nearby. I am happy this site is here as it brought us to Trois-Rivieres, a place we would not have visited otherwise. The site is worthy of a visit between 1-2 hours. The most interesting part was a stroll along the stream and down towards the large river where the Devils Flame can be found
If you like history could be a good place to visit. Entrance is free and there are guided tours available. On the other hand,if history is not your favorite thing, there are not too much to see there.
Beautiful Park with a historic past. Friendly staff that bring the past to life. Well maintained.
Great place to spend an afternoon. Interactive exhibits. Beautiful views at the river, devil’s fountain.
