    If you are into military history it's definitely the place to go. Canada has a long history in the military that many do not really understand how proud we are about our men and women that serve and this will definitely educate you. Worth going to

    Nice place for about an hour before Citadel. Included in admission. Citadel requires mandatory tour, but museum easily takes an hour for nicely detailed and labelled collection. Bit tight spaces for number of visitors. This with Citadel worthwhile for any trip of more than 2 days to Quebec City.

    An excellent place to be, especially if you're interested in Canadian history. Do not miss this if you're visiting La Citadelle de Quebec. It has many artifacts and information about the Canadian history, especially the two world wars and the Korean war. It can easily take about two hours or even more if you see everything in detail. Just before the entrance of the museum, there is a souvenir shop. There are washrooms right before the entrance as well, after the shop. To the left of washrooms, there is a canteen-type area with two tables, a couple of vending machines and a coffee machine that dispenses good coffee for a toonie or two. The parking is the same as that of the Citadelle fort.

    Very informative tour, anyone interested in military history would want to include this place. Also being on the highest point of the city, you get some great views of St Lawrence and the surrounding area.

    Although small, it’s a nice place where you can learn more about Canada’s involvement in international conflicts (which is something you rarely see depicted in detail). It has useful descriptions in both French and English, and it’s distributed in an appropriate manner. At the very end there’s a room where medals and honors earned by the military are displayed

    Pretty cool. Active military base. Took the one hour tour. Informative and great views. Very clean and well kept up base.

    Special musical presentation during changing of the guard today! Museum is informative, interactive and fun. CN listen in both French and English.

  • 5/5 Nils N. 5 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Was interesting. Especially with respect to the musical side of the regiment.

  • 4/5 Patrick O. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a nice visit only one thing I wqs dissapointed with, since it is still an active millitary base you cannot walk around by yourself to read all the "plaques" in the open area. Beside that it was great, the museum part has a lot of nice history to read.

  • 5/5 Coryna W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience! We were able to view the change of guard twice, and we had the opportunity to take a tour of the grounds with Flavie (hopefully I have not gotten her name wrong). She was extremely informative and knowledgeable. There was a lot of emphasis on educating and remembering the services and contributions of French Canadians in the armed forces. We came out with a deeper appreciation of what Quebec represents.

  • 5/5 Derek C. 1 year ago on Google
    An engaging museum that allows the story of the Royal 22nd régiment and its many ventures unfold around you. Learn of their pride, their history, and their tradition. Je me souviens

    Loved it... Very nice tour... The guide was very nice and so was the museum wish the time in the jail was a little longer though.

  • 5/5 Katie F. 1 year ago on Google
    Didn’t have a visit to the museum in our schedule, but walked by the citadel and decided to stop in. I’m really glad we did! It is a very interesting place with a lot of history. Plus there is a bit of a lookout over the city during the tour.

  • 5/5 Maria Elizabeth Beatriz P. 1 year ago on Google
    Getting there was an easy walk from our hotel. Once there at the Citadel, you purchase tickets at the entrance to the museum. Paid 18 per adult for a tour into the Citadel. The museum tells the story of time audiovisually. We had a wonderful walk through from our tour guide William and bits and bobs from Fannie to round up the experience. They made our experience more than a 100%. Going to Quebec is a visit to Musée Royal 22' Régiment.

    Absolutely wonderful visit. The facility is full of wonderful history and culture, and a great way to spend a few hours. We will be back!

  • 5/5 Jarrod P. 11 months ago on Google
    Be there at noon for the Canon firing! Parking was a tad confusing, but follow around toward the exit and you'll be fine. The soldiers were very helpful!

  • 3/5 Nico Samneil S. 11 months ago on Google
    An active military base with historic buildings. Since it is an active base, there are uniformed personnel. Has an ongoing construction at the entrance, watch out for the signs, it is confusing. Has an entrance fee. Has a guided tour in english. Does have an artillery fire at the end. Has a museum for Canada military history and contributions. Not really amazed except from the view it provides giving a clear view of the lake and its surroundings. Accepts credit and debit. Has a parking space, cafeteria and souvenir shop

  • 5/5 John F. 9 months ago on Google
    Museum does a great job of displaying the history of the 22nd, with stories, photos and equipment from the eras. Taking the guided citadel tour gives you access and it weaves additional info in about the history of the Citadel and itself.

  • 5/5 amul B. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the tour, if in town definitely go, free parking. In English language tour it takes about 1/2 hour. After taking tour and walking around the museum, walk to around the army base and see the whole city view from above

  • 5/5 Dylan S. 2 years ago on Google
    A fantastic ride through history of this prestigious regiment showcasing the stories of courage and sacrifice that have lead to freedoms we have today.

  • 5/5 Marie-Ève D. 4 years ago on Google
    I went twice and it's so interesting every time! And the guides really know what they're talking about and they make it interactive. The view from one of the places they bring us to is the most beautiful view of Quebec city (view of the water and château Frontenac)

  • 5/5 Joshua¡ 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful staff and amazing history. I love that they make it both accessible for us english speakers as well. A must see while in Old Quebec!

  • 5/5 Kateryna N. 2 years ago on Google
    Very interesting history and cool to walk around. Change of guards - must see!

  • 3/5 Claude-Eric L. 2 years ago on Google
    Although the staff are very welcoming and courteous, the tour is not worth the money. There is very little to see. Save your money and just walk around the outside.

  • 5/5 Maristela A. 2 years ago on Google
    A beautiful structure built to defend invasion from other nations. Amazing spots also for beautiful pictures.

  • 5/5 Paul O. 4 years ago on Google
    A very nice museum of the history of the Royal 22nd Regiment. Follow the self guided tour to go from the early days to the present of the Regiment. Well laid out with some interesting facts and stories.

    We appreciated the English speaking tour guides! Our guide was young, she did a good job, but a more experienced tour guide would have been better.

  • 5/5 Samir B. 1 year ago on Google
    This livable museum while you learn history mixed with real present in beautiful harmony. You should visit Quebec City and its museum and enjoy the serwonding touristic area.
