It was the most beautiful and majestic waterfall I’ve ever seen in my life! It’s truly worth visiting, and I highly recommend everyone see it in person. It was such a wonderful experience, and there were so many rainbows forming all around it. We went in September. There are a lot of stairs, but in my opinion it’s totally worth it to see the view both from the top and from the bottom, close to the waterfall.

These waterfalls are the largest natural attraction in Quebec, standing 83 metres tall and dominating the surroundings not only with their beauty but also their size. There are several attractions nearby, including the cable car, stops for the tourist train, various viewpoints on both sides, a bridge over the falls, and multiple hiking trails. In winter, parts of the falls freeze, creating truly unique scenery. You definitely need to visit, if you don’t stop here, it’s almost like you haven’t been to Quebec at all.

Absolutely stunning! Montmorency Falls is a must-see when visiting the Quebec City area. The falls are even taller than Niagara, and the views from every level are breathtaking. We loved walking across the suspension bridge and taking in the power of the water up close. The cable car makes it easy to enjoy the views from the top and bottom. Well-maintained, easy to navigate, and incredibly beautiful — nature at its finest

I visited this place in September, a rainy day & public holiday. Paid parking (all day parking). If you pay entry fee, you can visit the falls, boardwalk & long stairs to the top. The boardwalk is very long, atleast 30min walk to the bottom of the falls. Stroller, dogs are allowed on the boardwalk. Has a playground & benches. Kid friendly, dog friendly. Foods are allowed inside. If you want to ride the gondola ,you have to buy another ticket for the ride. You can ride both up & down multiple time for whole day with single gondola ride payment. At the top, there's a party house ,available to rent for private occasion which was under renovation in September; a vegetable garden & a bridge on the falls. You can watch the whole area from the top. It's a must visiting place for tourists in Quebec City. You can spend your whole day with family & friends there. However ,the gift shop isn't enriched with various souvenirs. Many people visit the place, number of washroom is limited. Overall, nice place.

What a cool park. You pay an entrance fee, and you have 2 choices to go to the bottom of the falls, walk all the way around the park, over the suspension bridge down this cool set of 478 stairs down to the bottom incredible views all the way through or option number 2. Take the cable car down to see the bottom of the falls. And take the cable car back recommended for people who do not have good mobility. We chose to walk over the bridge and down the stairs to the bottom of the falls, where we saw a rainbow, which was super cool and then took the cable car back up. We saw a lot of people trying to walk back up the stairs. And were heavily winded, so we decided to take the cable car up either way. It's a great day, incredible views front on top of the bridge from the bottom of the right. The falls you can even walk down all the way to the water. Super cool, highly recommended. We will return.
