Méga Parc at Galeries de la Capitale
OTQ
There’s a legendary shopping mall in Québec City that’s so big, it even has indoor rides. It’s called Galeries de la Capitale, and the mega‑exciting amusement park is the aptly named Mega Parc. The steampunk‑themed park has 18 attractions and rides, for mega fun.
Ferris wheel, roller coasters, and bumper cars… this place is going to keep you busy. If you like skating, the mall is home to the biggest indoor skating path in North America. There are also tons of great stores and boutiques for the shoppers in the family. With an Imax Cinema, it’s the perfect place for a big day of family fun. If you’re going for maximum excitement, get the all‑access passes to the Mega Parc. Otherwise, if you just want to try a few rides, you can also pick up a points card.

Who said swimming is just for summer? At Village Vacances Valcartier, you can play like a dolphin all year round! This giant indoor water park features a wave pool, 14 waterslides, a family pool with water games, an adventure river, and a surf wave. All in a fun Polynesian‑themed park where it’s always a balmy 30°C (that’s 86°F). In winter, you can add some outdoor fun by visiting the Hôtel de Glace (Ice Hotel) or going sledding at the biggest winter amusement park in the Americas. For an exciting and memorable day, there’s nothing like Village Vacances Valcartier.
Tip : Bora Parc is so popular that it’s best to buy your tickets in advance, since space is limited.

Escape Rooms
If you like riddles, mysteries, and clues, escape rooms are for you.

To escape, you’ll need to find clues and solve a series of puzzles before you run out of time. If you think it sounds easy, you could be in for a big surprise!
Other Fun Activities for Kids
Of course, there are tons more places to have fun as a family or with friends, like go‑kart tracks, bowling alleys, and laser tag centres, not to mention the Vallée Secrète in Saint‑Raymond, where you can go on a forest treasure hunt to find an intrepid band of gnomes!
