The Art of Being Entertained
Who said that museums had to be boring for children? Many museums in Quebec City offer exhibitions and even activities specially made for children. Let’s mention the Musée de la Civilisation which offers workshops, shows and discovery areas for children.
Location: Quebec City Old Port
Approximative Prices: 16$ (adults), free for children under 11 years old
A Mouth-Watering Visit
Workshop museums are also a great activity to do as a family. Indeed, these half-store half-museum boutiques are not only there to sell you their product. Workshop museums will allow you to discover a lot about the history of the product and the steps leading to its making. Your children will definitely love seeing how their favourite treats are made. Speaking of treats, may I suggest a little visit to the chocolate workshop museum, which I have no doubt that everyone will enjoy.
