Audioguide
To learn more about the site's history, geology, and geography, listen to the Voxsys Audiotour and discover the Parc de la Chute-Montmorency at your own leisurely pace. Practical and easy to use, it can be activated from 44 interactive listening stations at different strategic points on the site. It's available at the cable-car ticket offices (above and below the falls) for $3.50 (taxes included). Group rates ( 20 persons and more ) : $3 (taxes included).
Playground
3 playgrounds are now available for tots. See our map of the site.
Picnic Ground
What a wonderful place for a family picnic! The air is fresh and the view unbeatable as you gaze out over the falls and through the fine mist floating up from below. A banquet tent is also available near the Manoir.
Shops
The Parc de la Chute Montmorency has two shops offering creations and souvenirs made in Québec. What keepsake will you take back for yourself … or for a special friend?
Snack Bar
During your visit, you'll come across several small stands offering light meals. Take a break and indulge your hunger pangs!
Dairy Bar
A very popular spot in the dog days of summer. Before you saunter off along the cliff-side walkway and across the suspension bridge that spans the falls, treat yourself to a cool mouthful of ice cream at the dairy bar, next to the Manor.

Bike Path
Two bike paths lead to the Parc de la Chute-Montmorency. The first one cuts through the site while hugging highway 138. It starts at Domaine Maizeret, in the district of Limoilou, and ends on the Beaupré coast. The second path is further inland, following Avenue Royale in the district of Beauport and going as far as Boischatel and the uplands overlooking the Beaupré coast. You can cross from one path to the other by cable car.
Place des artistes
This area is next to the cable-car station below the falls. Outdoor booths are available to artists who wish to exhibit, sell, and paint on-site. The numerous passers-by make this an ideal place to hawk one's wares, subject of course to certain conditions.

Interpretation Boards
At several points along the park's walkways and trails, interpretation boards have been erected to explain the site over the course of its history.
