Really spectacular waterfalls just outside of Quebec (15 minutes by car). There is an $8 fee for the car and $4 per person to get in and a cable car to the top of the falls costs $15 extra. Would be five stars but the trails to the top were closed when I visited, so I couldn't walk up. Still the river trail is nice, the cable car has good views and their are facilities at the top and bottom for food, restrooms etc.

A pleasant side trip from Quebec City on a warm afternoon. Combines well with the Isle d'Orleans. Well organized with many separate attractions and amenities. A cable car brings you to the summit to a heart pumping encounter with "la chute". Cross above on a bridge, hike along side or soar over the canyon on a zip line. There is a pleasant restaurant and informal food and beverage options. Parking is ample and complimentary.

The falls were amazing, had lot of things to do, there were many trails, access to the foothills of the falls were you could experience the cool mist of the falls and it was really refreshing experience. There was a cable car which would take you to the foot hills and it costed $42 for a couple. It was a nice experience too. We also zip lined over the falls and it was a thrilling experience. Overall it was a day trip we totally enjoyed and would definitely go again if got a chance.Lastly Please like my review if it was helpful. Thank u!

This was the second time here, and the first time with all my kids. They enjoyed it and for obvious reason thought they were visiting Niagara Falls - an argument on geography ensued. Parking was tricky at a cost of just over $14. However, parking at the down end of the chute is free. Of course, it gets you to play to ride to the top, which is $15 plus for adults and $12 for children. Being free its not. We walked and skipped the chute, getting some valuable exercise in the process as we trekked our up the stairs and collected a massive amount of photos. We also prepped for our own lunch and sandwiches and skipped that pricey “restaurant” food. Boring lots of water, you will save yourself money. For those feeling adventurous, there is a zip line across the falls. It’s a few seconds across true falls. Also pricey but just for the fun and Adrenalin burn, it may be on thing to jump into - after they have given you a sheet to sign away your rights. I noticed a few people signing the forms without reading the details - two pages.
