    A great spot to take a walk and enjoy the views, from a scenic waterfall with suspension bridges above to a view of the St. Laurent. There are nice boardwalks and lookout points. Cost: There is a fee for access per person ($8.50) and a fee for parking. If you would like to take the cable car there is an additional cost - this is strongly recommended if you want to see the full site but you would prefer not to walk down and/or up the 487 stairs. Some additional activities are available for an additional cost including zip lining and a guided ropes course. Note that the wait for the zip line can get long (1 hr+) especially on busy days. Access: A public bus comes from Quebec City regularly. If you are driving you can save money on parking by street parking in the town and walking over.

    Just be aware they are doing some construction and likely seasonal closures so the cable car and train were closed week of dec 4 and the path/stairs to upper part is closed, but you can go right to upper part and park up there, just search for Stationnement du parc des chutes Montmorency (it's a 7 minute drive from the lower part). Still worth checking out the lower part for a different perspective. Beautiful scenery here and cool to walk the suspension bridge.

    A must pace in Quebec City! We rode the Gondola to go up but there is a stairwell that takes u up to the suspension bridge. So, if u have enough time, I would recommend taking the stairs and doing Zipline.

    It's a pretty place. There are 2 parking lots, the bottom one takes you to the téléphérique and at the top you can walk on the trail that takes you to the waterfalls. At the entrance of that parking lot there's a booth, you pay there the parking fee and the tkts for the téléphérique. The top parking lot takes you closer to the Manoir, and to the trail to the waterfall. The look out and stairs taking you to the bottom were frozen. Spring would be a better time to visit. At the Manoir there's a gift shop, toilets, a vending machine and a coffee machine.

    If you like waterfalls, then you shouldn't miss this place if you are near quebec. The place is well organised and there are enough parking places. It's a huge waterfall and you can have a look from the bottom and the top of the waterfall. The waterfall is higher than the Niagara Falls. There is also a via ferrata if you want to use the stairs. The place is around 15 minutes away from Québec City you can combine visiting the city and the waterfall.

    Pretty with the fall colors from the top and the mansion house was cute and decorated for the holidays. We started at the bottom and went up the precarious looking steps toward the falls. The bottom has some pretty serious construction going on and is kind of bare at this time. I know they say it’s as big as Niagara - maybe they mean in vertical height because not in terms of overall magnitude/ width/ water falling. Worth a visit on the way to / elsewhere like Ile d’Orleans but don’t design your whole trip /day around it. I thought Chutes de la Chaudiere waterfall nearby - other side of St Lawrence river was prettier with nicer walking.

    Very enjoyable visit, you can drive to the top if you want to save money on the cable car, just show your entry ticket.

From the moment you set foot in this enchanting park, you are welcomed by the sheer power and beauty of Montmorency Falls, a natural wonder that leaves you in awe. The falls are simply spectacular, with water cascading down from a height that rivals even some of the world's most famous waterfalls.

Parc de la Chute-Montmorency is more than just a tourist attraction; it's a place where you can feel the raw power of nature and the tranquility it offers. Whether you're a solo traveler, a couple, or a family, this park has something for everyone. It's a place that will leave you with cherished memories of a stunning natural wonder and a deep appreciation for the beauty that Quebec has to offer. Don't miss the chance to experience this extraordinary destination.

    Gorgeous falls with the ability to see the falls from right above to the very bottom. The cable car ride was a plus especially with small kids. There are play areas for children at the top and bottom.

  • 5/5 Patricia F. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome park. It’s a shame the cable cars and zip line were closed because of COVID but still worth stopping by, going for a leisurely walk and admiring the falls

    a must-see place when you visit Quebec! the view from the suspension bridge is magnificent! sugges parking your car on the bottom and take the cable car up the mountain. worth what you pay 😊

  • 4/5 M M. 8 months ago on Google
    Very nice falls but not comparable to Niagara Falls. Too expensive though. We enjoyed the walking around the falls, the cable car and the suspension bridge. Nice atmosphere Overall. The cable car is not well designed for wheelchairs even though it is accessible, and their staff were quite nice, except for some few of them who were not quite helpful with wheelchair handling.

  • 5/5 Palash J. 9 months ago on Google
    Waterfalls are always amazing and this was huge. There is an option of using the cable car or taking the stairs to reach the bridge above. We took the 487 stairs that gave a panoramic view through the climb.

  • 5/5 Doum B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I loved this hike, just as spectacular at the top, on the suspension bridge or by the gondolas, as at the bottom of the stairs to water it. Attraction to be seen winter and summer. A whole staircase !!! And bravo to all these joggers who face it endlessly! (Original) J'ai adoré cette randonnée, tout aussi spectaculaire en haut, sur le pont suspendu ou par les gondoles, qu'en bas des escaliers à ce faire arroser. Attraction à voir hiver comme été. Tout un escalier!!! Et bravo a tout ces joggeurs qui l'affrontent sans cesse!

    If you go to Montmorency waterfall you can also take a tram up and down to see another angle of huge and beautiful waterfall. The day my friends and I went, it wasn't crowded at all. We took round trip because we parked the car on the top of mountain. At the ground level, station has cafeteria, restroom, souvenir store and zip lines if you want more adventure!

    Out of season you were able to see it but no facilities are open and many areas blocked off. Impressive water flow during spring water melt.

  • 4/5 LeBeefangling 2 years ago on Google
    The glass on the windows in the lifts were pretty dirty, it would be nice if they cleaned them more frequently so u could take a more clear photo while on the lift.

    First time visiting this place. The view is amazing, the entrance is cheap as well as the parking and there's rock climbing if you guys are interested in that. I would of done it if it wasn't for time we got there 1h before closing. The only real downside is the climb back up, but the scenery make it worth the effort. Fun family friendly place to visit.

  • 4/5 Sakura B. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a very nice park with a breathtaking view on the waterfall. I took off a star because of the construction there which ruins a bit the impression, also one of the main viewpoints was closed. Worth visiting anyways! Especially when it's not too hot.

  • 4/5 Nathan P. 3 years ago on Google
    I really appreciated my great experience here because your park is well maintained and clean, i loved mostly, when i went here, it's free, also this park has very good views of the falls, the twin cities, the island, etc. and this park has play structures for childrens. My dislike, i went here, it's little cold outside.

  • 1/5 rem j. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful place, but unfortunately spoiled by a staff of the sepaq. I was waiting for my partner at the entrance to the stairs, when a sepac staff staunched me (I think he thought I was going down the stairs, because there was a sense). Pity (Original) Endroit magnifique, mais malheureusement gâcher par un staff de la sepaq. j'attendais ma compagne à l'entrée des escaliers, quand un staff de la sepac m'a agraisser ( je pense qu'il croyait que je descendais les escaliers, car il y avait un sense). Dommage

    Gorgeous falls. Best time to see them is in the spring I think cause the last time I saw them in the summer there wasn't as much water. The ride up in the cable car and the walk down the side of the hill is a great experience.

  • 4/5 Luc B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Many activities were offered there despite the Covid. The parking lot, the cable car and the entrances from below are closed for renovation. (Original) Beaucoup d'activités y était offertes malgré la Covid. Le stationnement, le téléphérique et les accès d'en bas sont fermés pour rénovation.
