What makes it 86% Kids-Friendly: Children enter free, enjoy playgrounds, cable car, and picnic lawns; bigger kids tackle 487 steps, but parents must supervise slippery decks and restrict adventure rides under height limits.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Long enough to ride the cable car, cross the bridge, and explore trails without rushing younger children.
Cable Car Ride:
Take a round-trip gondola from base to summit for wide views of the falls and river.
Tip: Arrive early to avoid the line. Under-5s ride free; hold hands stepping on and off.
Suspension Bridge Walk:
Walk over the sturdy bridge 60 m above the waterfall for a thrilling family photo.
Tip: Hold younger kids close. Bring a light raincoat to stay dry from mist.
Panoramic Staircase:
Climb the 487 steps from top to bottom for varied lookout decks at intervals.
Tip: Let older kids lead; take breaks on wooden platforms. Carry water and snacks.
Orchard Picnic & Play:
Use the grassy picnic tables and nearby playground with swings and slides.
Tip: Pack simple sandwiches to save money. Pick a shaded spot under trees.
Kids’ Playground Trails:
Explore three playgrounds along easy paths with slides and toboggans.
Tip: Follow the stroller-friendly ‘Walk of the Estate’ path between play areas.

This is a really great attraction spot! There’s a park, trail, falls and a suspension bridge. You can buy tickets for a lift if you don’t want to take the stairs but I’d recommend the stairs if you can because theres beautiful viewpoints along the way up.

Montmorency falls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls we've ever seen. The tall waterfall itself was amazing, and walking across the suspension bridge gave us the best view. The path through the trees was so peaceful and full of fresh air. We also enjoyed the cable car ride. It was fun and gave us another great view of the falls.

The qaterfalls are pretty, but after Yellow Stone and Yosimite waterfalls, seem underwhelming. A part of the tree reason is the industrial view from the top. The nature is completely tamed here. We've been there in the end of September, and the water level was low. I'm sure, it is much more impressive in spring. To reach the waterfalls, take bus #800 from the city and go to the stop Des Rapids.

What a cool park. You pay an entrance fee, and you have 2 choices to go to the bottom of the falls, walk all the way around the park, over the suspension bridge down this cool set of 478 stairs down to the bottom incredible views all the way through or option number 2. Take the cable car down to see the bottom of the falls. And take the cable car back recommended for people who do not have good mo...

It was a nice little outing, but don't consider it a must see. They have a cable car so both the top and bottom of the falls are accessible. If you want to see everything be aware that there is a fair amount of walking involved.
In summer, trails and playgrounds are open and dry. In winter, paths can ice over and the cable car may close. Check SEPAQ site and dress children in warm layers.
