This SURPRISING Museum complex, unique in Canada, offers you an immersive, entertaining and educational experience with its nice blend of history, science, culture and discovery. Immerse yourself in the heart of Shawinigan’s industrial past and stroll through the various sectors led by friendly guides.
The site is vast and offers several different activities. You’ll have the chance to :
- Go up to the top of a 115-meters observation tower
- Browse interesting exhibits, to watch a multimedia show
- Take a city tour on a trolleybus, to cruise the Saint-Maurice river on a pontoon
- Enter the heart of two hydroelectric power stations and visit a museum dedicated to the former Prime Minister of Canada, the Honorable Jean Chrétien.
- In the evening (around 8:30 p.m.), enjoy a magical outdoor show by the river in an impressive rotating amphitheater.
What a program! Something to keep you busy for the entire day. Moreover, if you want to have the chance to visit the entire site without rushing, we suggest that you plan a sleepover in Shawinigan, just to give yourself 2 days to explore everything and have time to fully enjoy your visit.
