Answer 2

Go to Village Val Cartier for the kids. They can water slide and have a lot of fun. The entire city is an attraction of its own. http://vacation.away.com/Canada/travel-v...

Answer 3

If you come in a few days, check out Expo Québec (the children will love it!), there are rides, sand sculpture contest, little farms...

L'observatoire de la capitale allows you to see Quebec from the highest Quebec building and is located in the old town.

Parc de la chute Montmorency (Montmorency Fall) http://www.quebec-travelguide.com/Beaupo...

You can visit La Citadelle (I cannot include more than 10 links, so just google "La citadelle" and you should find the website)

There is the Village huron (a natives' village) http://www.huron-wendat.qc.ca/

Aquarium de Québec http://www.quebec-travelguide.com/Sainte...

You also have museums, such as Musée de la Civilisation (my favourite!) different permanent and temporary expositions on I believe Quebec Cinema, Natives, Gold... http://www.mcq.org/fr/mcq/index.html

(it also has a partnership with the Musée de l'Amérique française and the Centre d'interprétation de Place Royale, information on the same website)

At the Musée National des beaux-arts du Québec, located on the Plains of Abraham, you have a temporary exposition called Le Louvre à Québec. Since Québec is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year, the Louvre in Paris has lended some items to the museum. http://www.mnba.qc.ca/Home.aspx However, you need to know that you HAVE to book your tickets in advance using the billetech website

If the weather ever gets nice, you can also spend a day at the Village vacances Valcartier, the largest waterpark in Canada. You would need a car though because it is 20-30 minutes from the city. Everybody will love it though.

The Quebec 400th anniversery site provides you with information on upcoming events for all the year:
