What makes it 67% Baby-Friendly: Infants enter free and paths fit strollers, but we found no listed nursing room, change table or high-chair, and loud music may overwhelm very young ears.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Allows time for a brunch or tour, a walk on the trails, and breaks with your baby.
Yesteryear Sugar-Time Brunch:
All-you-can-eat Québec specialties with live music, maple taffy, and free access to trails and tubing.
Tip: Book weekend brunch in March–April at 10:00 AM. Babies under 1 eat free; bring a stroller or carrier.
Interpretation Tour & Maple Taffy:
Guided tour of the 1920s sugar shack boiler room with maple product tastings and taffy on snow.
Tip: Reserve in advance. Carry your baby in a soft carrier for easier movement through the cabin.
Forest Walking Trail & Playground:
A marked loop through the maple grove and a small outdoor play area for toddlers.
Tip: Use the stroller-friendly path. Let older kids explore while you rest by a fire pit.

Rose is an excellent host and maple sugar historian. Friendly staff and wonderful musician. Great time and memorable. My favorite part of the meal was the soup and pork crackle.

A must see in Québec! So friendly and welcoming. Delicious food. Sugar shack over 100 years old. Loved this experience so much! When we arrived, they asked if we are staying for dinner. So glad we said yes with traditional plates and music it was just wonderful

$49.95 CAD per person Reservation is required, food is served family style. Groups smaller than 6-8 people will share with other diners.

Live music and dinner activities are festive and lively. Location is remote, but it is doable ...

A unique experience since there was live music along with Christmas music and some people were dancing. We had the Christmas dinner for about $65 CAD per person after taxes and tips. The meat pie was delicious and worth eating again. The mashed potatoes were decent. The bread was a bit tough to eat.

We recently visited here, it was the busiest crowd of people I have been in since the pandemic began (in two years). At first it was a bit overwhelming walking into the sugar shack with a room full of people talking. However, Once we were seated and got settled in we loved being immersed in the Québécois culture. It was great to be amongst the positive energy, and seeing people sing along, clap an...
