👍👍 Our family enjoyed it immensely! We spent 5 hours and didn't see everything. Others were zooming through, though, so I think people will get out of it what they put into it. The kid's Explorer program was the best one we've encountered yet at any national park or site.

👍👍 Beautiful grounds and excellent curation of the history and culture of flour milling in Quebec.
