The Aquarium of Quebec was amazing! We saw jellyfish, stingrays (you can even touch them, which is super fun!), and three polar bears that were very active around 10 a.m.—playing and moving around a lot, so that seems like a great time to visit. The aquarium was partly under construction, which made it a little harder to walk through in some areas, but it was totally worth it. Everything was beau...

Great place for kids. Not only is it educational, they also had a lot of playgrounds for kids to get their wiggles out. There are naturalists who give talks about the various animals and that is really appreciated. Most displays are fine. It's not the fanciest aquarium I've ever seen, but it's decent.

A reasonably nice aquarium to visit - perhaps more family/child oriented than average. The interior exhibits were pretty good. The polar bear exhibit was more expansive and interesting. The seal enclosures seemed small and empty. Difficult to get to without a car, especially as the current construction in the area seems to confuse local taxis. Probably not worth it to visit unless you have a car ...
In winter, focus on indoor galleries and dress baby in layers. In summer, arrive early to beat crowds and enjoy outdoor viewing before heat peaks.
