The area holds significant military history, most notably the Battle of Montmorency on July 31, 1759, where British forces under General Wolfe unsuccessfully attacked French positions. This battle was a precursor to the pivotal Battle of the Plains of Abraham weeks later. The first manor on the site was built in 1781 for Governor Frederick Haldimand.

Real experiences from real travelers
Honestly, I thought this would just be a quick photo stop, but it's a fantastic park. We booked the cable car up and walked the 487 steps down. The views from the suspension bridge are insane! So much more powerful than photos can show. Booking online was easy and saved us time at the gate.
The waterfall is absolutely stunning and the park is very well-kept. The cable car ride was smooth with great views of Quebec City. It was quite crowded on a summer weekend, so I'd recommend going on a weekday if you can. We booked a combo tour that included the Île d'Orléans, which was a perfect pairing.
Visiting in winter was an incredible decision. The 'Sugar Loaf' ice cone at the bottom is a surreal sight, and seeing people ice-climbing it was amazing. The falls were partially frozen and glittered in the sun. It was cold, but so worth it. The online ticket process was seamless.
We visited during the first week of October and the fall foliage was breathtaking. The red and orange leaves surrounding the powerful white waterfall was a photographer's dream. The suspension bridge gives you a perfect vantage point. Highly recommend booking a tour that combines this with a trip around the island.
Une chute magnifique et un parc très bien aménagé. The stairs are a good workout but offer many different viewpoints. We only booked the entrance ticket online and bought the cable car ticket there. It was simple. A great way to spend half a day just outside the city.
This place is an adventure park! We took the cable car up, walked the bridge, and then took the zipline across the cove—what a rush! The booking platform made it easy to see all the options. Don't just look from the road, get in and explore.
As someone who isn't a huge hiker, I appreciated the cable car. It made getting to the top and the best viewpoints effortless. The park is clean and the views of the St. Lawrence River are fantastic. A lovely, easy excursion from the city.
The winter visit was spectacular. The sheer scale of the ice at the base of the falls is hard to comprehend. It's a completely different and more dramatic experience than in the summer photos. The park was quiet and peaceful. Booking our access pass online was efficient and straightforward.
Everything you need to know for your journey
While not always mandatory, booking tickets in advance, especially for the cable car or combo tours, is highly recommended. It guarantees your spot, helps you skip ticket lines, and often provides better pricing. During peak season (summer and autumn), pre-booking is essential to avoid disappointment.
Many tours booked through our platform include round-trip transportation from downtown Quebec City, which is the most convenient option. Alternatively, you can drive (parking is available for a fee), take a taxi/rideshare, or use the local RTC bus service (route 800).
To fully experience the park, including the cable car, suspension bridge, and walking to the base, we recommend allocating at least 2 to 3 hours. If you are participating in activities like the via ferrata or zip line, plan for a longer visit.
No, the cable car (téléphérique) is a separate ticket from the general park access fee. You can purchase tickets for the cable car alone, or often find it bundled in tour packages for better value. Booking a package that includes it is typically the most convenient choice.
The Sugar Loaf is a massive cone of ice that forms at the base of the falls during the winter due to the freezing mist. This impressive natural formation can grow to over 30 meters high and is a unique and popular winter attraction.
Yes, at 83 meters (272 feet), Montmorency Falls is 30 meters (98 feet) taller than Niagara Falls. While Niagara is much wider, the height of Montmorency is truly impressive to see in person.
The park has accessible options. The main pavilion at the base and the Manoir Montmorency at the top are wheelchair accessible. The cable car provides an accessible way to get to the top. While the panoramic staircase is not accessible, there are paved paths at the top of the falls that offer great views for strollers and wheelchairs.
Beyond viewing the falls, the park offers several activities. You can walk across the suspension bridge, climb the 487-step panoramic staircase, enjoy a meal at the Manoir Montmorency, or try thrilling activities like the double zip line or via ferrata (seasonal).
Every season offers a unique experience. Summer is warm and lush, ideal for all activities. Autumn (late September to mid-October) is spectacular with fall foliage. Winter is magical with the frozen falls and the giant 'Sugar Loaf' ice cone. Spring showcases the powerful flow of the falls as the snow melts.
