12 Must-Visit Gems in Gatineau, Quebec

Pat Warner Last evening was the Humour Festival with Dominic Piquet. Definitely funny. a bit of rain but overall good value for money.

Matheus Teixeira Fernandes Winterlude is a very well organized event. Although the lines to the tube were very long (30 min at 9:30, 45 min at 10:00 and it was getting longer); we had a lot of fun. Other than the tube (go downhill on a doughnut), we also went to a labyrinth and an obstacle course. All very fun and organized.

Patrick Villacorta July 2025. Fun ride and friendly staff. They were thorough with their safety checks so that gave us peace of mind. It was a hot day, so the walk across the bridge and up the tower was not the most fun, but that cant be helped. It made the breeze on the ride feel that much nicer.

Lee Desormeaux This park is truly a gorgeous little escape from it all, right along the river... It gives the serenity of nature and yet a measure of excitement with that river rolling on by. It homes a bike path that runs through it, extends to a beach, community center, play structures, volleyball facilities, and simple ample grass. Yet plenty of privacy and quiet spots too. There are loads of benches strewn about, and a very nice statue dedicated to Jean de Brébeuf, after whom of course it is named. (For anyone interested in history, Jesuit-Catholic or other). I often bring my kids here now that I am grown, but like to come alone sometimes to stroll down memory lane. One can appreciate also the rising water levels from here in Springtime too, awe inspiring and spooky as that truly can seem. This place is great though, to walk through, bike or rollerblade, to sit and meditate on life, to chill with friends and family, or do some sports or even swim. A lovely place indeed. And there are shops and restaurants nearby should you be in need. One of my favorite places to go.

omid habibi What a charming little place!

Eileen Doucet Small but comprehensive site that covers the culture and history of several local and regional Indigenous Peoples. Our tour guide was Fraser, and he was an excellent guide and storyteller. We also participated in the craft making option, and he was patient and thorough in teaching us about the traditions and art of making dream catchers. A must-see stop for anyone interested in supporting reconciliation with Canadas Indigenous nations.

Allanah Awesome world tour to discover countries, cultures while doing a series of activities. Build a paper puppet in Indonesia, dig out archeological artefacts in Egypt, fold origami souvenirs in Japan, and much more! Build a log cabin or place shingles on a roof, build a brick wall, go fishing on a boat, play with wooden trains and Duplos, activities are endless. All this with a thematic scavenger hunt. Staff is amazing with children. Lots of cleaning wipes. We spent more than 3 hours !

Anwar El Masri The words cannot describe our feelings each day we discover new places in the most beautiful country on the planet Canada ❤. Parc des Cedres is very beautiful, especially for kids since there is many activities from playing swimming riding bicycle playing football etc... The view for Ottawa river is incredible what a great relaxation.

René Leduc It is a heritage site located in the heart of a magnificent park.

Omar Duran Beautiful

Kim Veilleux I exhibited my artwork all weekend. Great place!

Drew Breeze Hidden gem. Well not too hidden, but what a great easy boat ride at low cost. Do the long route for sure. Absolutely loved it, and the kids too
