Looking for a unique outing to keep your school-aged kids curious and entertained? Halfway between Québec City and Montréal, Boréalis welcomes you for a full day of discovery in Trois-Rivières. On the agenda: a century of papermaking and forestry history brought to life through a wide variety of activities the whole family will enjoy!
Interested? Here’s what’s in store for you!
Start your day by exploring the brand-new exhibition Transformations. Step into the fascinating spaces of the former factory, meet intriguing characters from the past, and take on interactive challenges. At Boréalis, history is told differently: archival images come to life and stories unfold on screen. A journey filled with discoveries, taking you from yesterday’s factory to tomorrow’s forest!
Halfway through your visit, head to the lab! The Papermaking Workshop invites you to get hands-on and dive into a playful, tactile activity. Create a unique keepsake to take home with you. A favorite among visitors of all ages, this creative break encourages experimentation and lets you leave with a sense of pride in your handmade creation.
Please note that the activity is in French only.
Take a breath of fresh air in front of a stunning panoramic view and just like that, it’s time to enjoy a 360-degree virtual reality experience! Put on one of our headsets and dive into Ma Belle Saint-Maurice. This poetic short film, exclusive to the summer season, promises to transport you to another world just before you wrap up your exhibition visit.
Note: This activity is not recommended for children under 8 years old.
After the exhibition, take a well-deserved break on the museum’s esplanade, offering a breathtaking view of the Saint-Maurice River. Bring your own lunch and enjoy a peaceful family moment in this serene setting. You can also reserve a table at the terrace restaurant, which offers a refined menu (please note: no children’s menu is available).
To extend your outing, head just a few minutes from Boréalis to the Boucher de Niverville Manor. This cultural venue features Archaeology and Criminal Investigations, an exhibition tailor-made for science enthusiasts and true crime fans. With the Heritage Package, you’ll enjoy a discounted rate when combining both visits.
Note: This exhibition is not recommended for children under 10 years old, as it contains potentially disturbing content.
The exhibition is produced by the ArchéoMusée Roussillon RS with the financial support of the Government of Canada and the Government of Québec.
Boréalis is more than just a museum, it’s a living place of history that’s accessible, enriching, and full of life! Will you join us?
