Enjoy family fun

In Bas-Saint-Laurent, you don't have to look for activities, they are everywhere. The magnificence and diversity of the landscapes are the perfect excuse to enjoy nature, by land or sea, regardless of the season. With two national parks, historic lighthouses, discovery or whale-watching cruises as well as biking and snowmobile trails galore, your activities will become discoveries and lasting memories for the whole family.

Explore Fort Ingall, a faithful reconstruction of a British fort built in 1839 on the shores of Lake Témiscouata during a border conflict between the United States and Canada. Wander through the exhibition halls on a guided tour and uncover the stories that shaped the region. For a truly immersive experience, you can even spend the night in the fort’s dormitory!

In 2026, Intermiel enhances its agrotourism experience with the launch of the Pollinator Gardens, an immersive space dedicated to biodiversity and environmental awareness. Opening to visitors this summer, the landscaped trail highlights pollinator‑friendly plants and the vital role of insects through engaging and accessible interpretation areas. Developed in partnership with the Mirabel Agricultural Training Centre, the project emphasizes education and knowledge sharing. This new attraction coincides with Intermiel’s 50th anniversary, marked by special events celebrating the legacy, craftsmanship, and environmental values of this long‑standing family‑run business in the Laurentians.

Laval is bursting with attractions that are perfect for when you’re looking for entertainment fit for kids as well as grown-ups!

The Refuge Pageau cares for orphaned, sick or injured animals, treating them and, whenever possible, returning them to the wild. You’ll be able to see moose, bears, wolves, white-tailed deer, raccoons, birds of prey, and many other animals staying there short or long term. At the end of your visit, step into an immersive experience by Moment Factory. Explore the den of Michel Pageau, the man who spoke with wolves, and discover your role in maintaining the fragile balance between humans and nature.
