One of our afternoons/eves can be spent at Valcartier, a wicked playground with an ice hotel, amazing tubing runs, a lit skateway, and an indoor waterpark. Adventurers get to decide how much they’d like to take on; a choose your own adventure, riding a chill vibe or a do all the things vibe.
The winter carnival features cool ice and snow sculptures, works of art made from giant blocks. These sculptures transform the city into a wonderful outdoor museum. The 100%-made-of ice Palace of Bonhomme is super close to our apartments. Bonhomme Carnaval, the snowman character, symbolizes the spirit of fun of this winter celebration. Every year the palace serves as a focal point for several Carnival activities.
A highlight is the nightly dance party near the Citadelle de Quebec (awesome!), a magical night parade, and live music in a fairy-tale setting. We had an absolute blast dancing to all the fab djs!
