The Plains of Abraham Museum

De passage au parc, nous en avons profité pour faire le musée. L'expo artistique (temporaire?) est chouette et enrichissante en même temps.
Le musée a une partie interactive vraiment bien faite puis un film qui retrace bien l'histoire de la ville de Québec. Je suis passé un peu plus vite sur les vestiges archéologiques car ça m'intéressait un peu moins.

We visited this museum on July 10. There is parking next to the museum. There is an entrance fee for a visit to the museum and a combined ticket with a guided bus ride along the important places around the museum. Our guide was Margueritte, the woman who gave birth to the first child in Québec.
There is a small museum and a film about the battles during the Seven Years' War.
The Aeria exhibition can be visited with a tablet. On the tablet you can see how the artist created the artworks.

Fantastic museum with interesting range of artefacts and historical information about the war between France/UK over possession of land in Canada. We watched the 30 minute film which we managed to follow even though our French is pretty basic.

Very nice exhibition. Truly enjoyed the history of the major events as well as the battles of Quebec in 1759 - 1760

Petit musée mais très intéressant surtout pour ceux qui cherchent à connaître l'histoire de Québec. Il y a une projection spéciale dans une salle qui explique la bataille avec petite boutique au sous-sol à ne pas manquer.

Bonne surprise! On ne savait pas à quoi s'attendre et cette visite a été des plus enrichissantes et agréables sur l'histoire de la ville de Québec.

Amazing place to learn about history. Kids and adults would enjoy equally. Museum is quite economical. Easy access via bus. Car parking available at the site for 9$. The movie of 30 mins was worth a round up of history of battles. Has a small yet interesting souvenir shop as well.

The museum was very clean, and not crowded at all. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely worth a stop. It takes about two hours to complete the indoor portion of the museum. 10/10.

Amazing during winter!
The plains of Abraham is a must-visit place for tourists.
For residents, it had a lot of fun stuff both during summer and winter (glissades/slides etc)
You may rent a tapis/carpet in the Museum.

The exposition was much better that I thought. Like it so much
The ticket office girl speaks Spanish and that was very helpful. An extra this place

Un musée à faire pour les passionnés d'histoire du Québec! Les reproductions d'uniformes sont superbes. A compléter avec une visite sur les plaines d'Abraham.

Very interesting place that helps understand not only the battle of the Plains of Abraham but other turning point in french-canadian history.

I hiked up over the Citadel to the Museum, the restoration work on the fortifications is massive.
The museum was interesting although a little sparse, most disappointing was the film about the 7 years war and battles in the area. It was narrated ONLY IN FRENCH!
Museums are tourist attractions, this is a missed opportunity to educate others about the battles that laid the foundation for our country.
If Francophones want to retain their language and culture they need to realize that education is the best method, and that means making information accessable in English as well as French.

Probably not worth the hour. But a walk, run around the fort outside is the best no matter when.

An informative and interactive exhibit but largely aimed toward children. For the cost, the 30-minute video and the museum felt lacklustre.

The video (30mins) explaining the battle was very good. The museum was interactive so good for good and quite small so you can do in less rhan an hour. Very informative but not boring

The good: the 30 minute video is high quality, the exhibition of uniforms, the small display of 'law and order', the map of skirmishes/battles to give perspective on the region.

Needs improvement: the exhibits lack depth and there are many opportunities to enrich the content. For example, there's a reference to rationing food - why not show approx what/how little that food was?

The only redeeming feature of the museum was seeing the tower (which I believe is closed after labor day). The museum exhibit itself was lacking substance. Further, the documentary video was of low production quality and lacked a narrative.

Good for kids.projection is also nice and an interactive museum. You get a brief idea of the place, would suggest as one of the first stops. Also the parking is very convenient and no since it's 24hrs 365 days we used it as our main parking for the whole 2 days trip

Beau musée, le tour ce fait en 1h30 à peu près. Plusieurs animation sont faite pendant le parcours dont une vidéo explicative de l'histoire des plaines.

Très intéressant. Une page importantes de notre histoire est ici expliquée. Vidéo un peu vieillotte

Well done. We had the extended family of six, from grands to age 8, and everyone was fascinated. We love learning history. I felt this was a balanced presentation, including indigenous perspectives which weren't there last time I went many years ago. Overall - great.

Hard to follow the English film as all the voices had a French accent. Too many artifacts. Interesting presentation by the musket gal.

They really had it all. It was surprisingly excellent. Located right by the Plains, where the British won the Battle of Quebec in 1759, its interpreters are great. You also get entrance to the Martelo tower which is a short walk away and every bit as worth it.

Le musée est bien, mais on fait vite le tour quand même pour le prix. Belle accueil par les employés et quand même diverses choses intéressante à voir.

During our Quebec City Trip with the Grade 7/8 students back in 2014 we’ve been there to look at the soldiers and how they do during the war.

What a waste of money. Very Expensive with limited artifacts of historical significance. Not to mention to start off the experience you are herded into a tiny room with really nothing to learn about other than a variety of old whiskey barrels and grade school level material and explanations. All the while you’re waiting to get into a low budget level film/cartoon with a gigantic wooden beam in front of the screen. This “film” which is narrated by stereotypical figures with no real storyline or indication of which figure is speaking leaves you confused and underwhelmed. If you are expecting an authentic experience book yourself a private walking tour of the grounds. The museum is a waste of time.

Ce lieu est vraiment magnifique et très enrichissant pour les adultes autant que pour les enfants je le conseil à tous ceux qui sont passionnés d'histoire et qui aiment les endroits enchanteurs

The top floor is full of interactive displays. The bus tour is fabulous! If you stop at the tower, it is a long walk back to the museum

Great to learn about important times in Canadian history. Museum is not large but good for a couple hours. Not to miss is the bus tour of the park, the woman who toured us (in character of Abraham's wife) was excellent.

Excellent guide on the tour bus (woman). If you get a good tour guide that makes the experience so much more enjoyable.

Nice little museum with a few issues.

A little bit child oriented (great if taking kids, a bit basic if not). Displays lacked explanation of the wider context and importance of the battle. Lots of poor English language in the displays which was surprising.

Highlights were the display of the British and French regimental uniforms and history, and the excellent audio visual tour of Martello Tower 1.

The right place to learn about the history of Quebec and Canada.
We entered through Battlefields Park, discovered the Art Museum, then continued to the Plains of Abrahams museum.
The entrance fee covers a bus tour as well, but when we arrived all the tours were sold out.
The good thing, is you can come back the next day to finish your tour.just keep your receipt.

Museum, bus tour and park visit were excellent. Staff was knowledgable and friendly. A great way to experience Canadian history in an hands on way for the entire family.

There is a sad history from the past, but is incredible the great way how they grow up. Now is the most beautiful place that i never been

Super, billet valable 2 jours pratique si on a pas tout vu. 30,47 CS pour 2, visite du musée, visite de la tour avec IPad et visite avec bus. Très bien fait

Good museum to learn about the Quebec war history. The video did a good job explaining the war and the exhibits contains war uniforms and items. Just wish there are more contents in the exhibits as it only takes an hour to go through the video and exhibitions.

This small museum offers 3 linked tours. The museum itself is relatively small; the highlight is a 30 minute film about the battle. The second tour is a 45 minute bus trip around the park; this is a complete waste of time. The final part is a look inside an old stone tower where you can use a provided iPad to view details about the artifacts. On the whole, the package focuses more on entertainment rather than on a more traditional museum experience.

An amazing window into Canada's history, perched on one of the most important battlefields of Canada's history. Recommended

Génial a découvrir avec les enfants. Loin d'être barbant aussi bien pour les adultes et on apprend plein de choses sur les batailles de Québec.
