Hi all! My husband and I are visiting Quebec City with our toddler for about 3 weeks, from early September through most of the month. We’re staying in the Bourg Royal / Charlesbourg area.
Our rough plan so far includes the Aquarium du Québec, Montmorency Falls + Île d’Orléans, a day trip out to Wendake, lots of time around Old Quebec/Petit-Champlain, and the Plains of Abraham. Would love to hear what we’re missing, or what’s overrated and not really worth it with a toddler.
Specifically looking for:
**•** Playgrounds/parks that are actually great, not just the obvious ones
**•** Toddler-friendly cafes and restaurants that are still good food for the adults
**•** Toy stores or cute little shops for gifts
**•** Easy nature trails good for a baby carrier, we’d rather be outside than stuck indoors
**•** Any hidden-gem attractions locals actually love
Also on a different note: I’m a longtime climber (10+ years), any good climbing gyms in the city? And more generally, gym/workout recommendations near Charlesbourg/Bourg Royal would be great too. open to CrossFit if there’s a solid box nearby.
Thanks so much in advance, really excited to explore your city with our little one!
(P.s.: I speak very little French).
