Beautiful place! The falls are at a 10 minutes walk from the parking lot, it's an easy walk even for those with limited mobility. There are a few "wild animals " statues and playgrounds for kids, a few activities for the grownups, including climbing on the rocks of the falls. Sunny-shady hiking trails to avoid overheating in a hot summer day. At the entrance there is a souvenir shop. All-in-one it is a great place to visit, spend some quality time with the family and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Wow one of the best places around Quebec. It's Good place to take your kids. Mesmerizing beauty of the falls and am amazing short trip. If you like adventures then you should trip the zip line (not zip car) and if you wish you spend more time then the down the falls trek work zip line is the best you can ask. I got an instructor for zip line named "SABESTIAN" HE WAS SIMPLY AWESOME ask for him.
