Our permanent exhibition Roots and Identity is presented both in French and English (exhibition texts). You can also do an audio-guided tour in French and English.

The duration may vary depending on the type of visit you decide to do, that is either a guided tour or an audio-guided tour. That being said, the guided tour of the permanent exhibition takes about an hour. As for the audio-guided visit, the duration varies a lot from one person to another, it largely depends on whether you read all of the texts and listen to all of the audios and videos or not. The average time of a visit is an hour and a half.

Wi-Fi is free for visitors so they can access the various audio-guided tours available from their smart device, either phone or tablet. Don’t forget to charge your device before the visit!

The parking lot (limited number of spaces) is accessible free of charge for the museum and the terrace’s clientele. There are also three parking spaces for people with mobility issues who have parking badges near the main entrance, in the circle. Please note that there is also free parking all along Des Draveurs Avenue.

Yes, there is a bike rack near the main entrance. Don’t forget your bike lock. Cyclists are welcomed!

Via the highway

Whether you’re coming from Québec (Autoroute 40 East) or Montréal (Autoroute 40 West), we strongly recommend that you take the exit 201 – boulevard des Chenaux and follow the signs.  You’ll have to turn right on boulevard des Chenaux and keep driving for about 3 km after taking the exit.

Boréalis has a beautiful terrace with a bistro opened during the summer only. (June to August inclusively.)

There is a designated area with picnic tables accessible to everyone on the north side of the building. To access it, simply walk along the facade of the building. The area will be on your right next to the St-Maurice River.

Boréalis is partially wheelchair accessible. There is only one room, where our short films are shown, that is not wheelchair accessible since there are two steps to access it. You can also use the man lift to access the different floors of the museum. That being said, the visit remains just as interesting, even if the short films are an added value to the museum.

The Boréalis museum is perfectly stroller accessible and has baby-changing tables in both women’s and men’s washroom.  The whole family is welcomed!

Yes, you can bring your camera. Although, you can’t take pictures of the artifacts displayed in the various exhibition cases. Pictograms are posted well in view in places where it is forbidden to take pictures.

Unfortunately, we can’t accept dogs in the museum or on the terrace. The same rule applies to all of the municipal buildings. However, we do make an exception for clearly identified guide dogs. Thank for your understanding!
