    Included in the price for the Plains of Abraham Museum, the tower is a bit of a walk away from the museum. I found the tower more interesting than the museum. At the tower, you’re given a screen and headphones, which convey the construction of the tower and the life of soldiers posted there. Maybe too much detail, too many screens of information, to be suitable for children. Stone, spiral steps to the upper floor.

    I found this tower fascinating. The self-guided iPad tour was fairly good - my kids got more out of it than I did. The exhibits inside were amazing. I found the cutaway of the cannon to be rather interesting. The internal stairs are a bit steep, so the very young or old should take care. Overall I am very glad I was able to visit.

    You can learn lots of things with a ticket of Abraham museum.

    Great way to learn about Quebec history! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff and an amazing virtual tour system.

    Interactive experience enjoyed it much more than the actual museum. You need about 45 minutes to an hour to complete the tour. You use an iPad and headphones to go station to station there are some augmented reality as well.

    We visited the exhibit and it was very informative and fun as a family activity. You visit all levels of the Martello tower through points on an iPad interactive tour. We enjoyed it and looking forward to visiting the museum next.

    I loved this experience. They designed it like a game/quest with a tablet. The atmosphere is like you are in the 19th century. My recommendation

    Very cool history, but all they do is give you IPads and headphones which lead you on a tour. It's nice to see, bit you might as well just google it when you get home.

    Not sure if this place is open in summer but it was closed in October. Was nice to see from the outside but that’s about it.
