A time travel journey for the entire family

Relive the siege of Québec City, the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, and the Battle of Sainte-Foy. These pivotal events led to the creation of the park, which includes the Plains. 

Uniforms, maps, and models showcase the strategies, camp life, clothing, and regiments of the 18th century. A projection with period testimonials also narrates the conflict in a moving way. Several perspectives of the events are presented.

The exhibition highlights lesser-known impacts of the conflict such as military discipline. Interactive games make the exhibition suitable for all ages.

Restricted Access

The Order and Law section of the Battles exhibition will be inaccessible from May 19, 2025, until the end of March 2026 due to construction work.
