Hydro-Québec - Électrium

It was a good surprise. Very interesting, short but if there is not many people is a great playground fro curious kids

Quite a small museum with some good interactive models showing the effects of electricity and magnetism. Has a good introductory video (quite outdated, though). Free entry. Level 2 EV charger in the parking lot.Unfortunately - there isn't much told about all the curious things they have in the video-hall and even some of the interactive exhibits could have some more information for elder students and adults. Electric eels are a must see! (Adding there some Amps/Volts metrics could really add to the experience).Surely recommend this museum for primary school students. Hope they will extend it for the elder people as well.

Really great activity to do with the whole family or just by yourself. One of the rare activities that are actually 100% free even packing, big bonus. it's not a big place but doesn't have to be because everything is well set up and cool and interactive. better suited for children 6-99 although I went with my almost 3year old daughter and had lots of fun. they even have a cool lightning ball that puts static in your hair it's really cool... I will be going back with my 7 year old as she did not get to go yet. you can take a guided tour that is about 1h30min or walk through freely both are great options and staff are super nice. voluntary donations are accepted but are not necessary.

We reserved for our family the day before and when we got there they said that there was no place for us, 50 km for nothing call before you go.

I registered a Tuesday tour for my 10 and 3 years old children. My 10 year-old child was not able to come. I called and canceled her reservation in the morning. I brought my 3 year old and drove for 1.5 hour to get there. It supposed to be a 45 minutes drive. The weather was terrible, heavy snow, average 40-km per hour on the highway. I arrived 13 minutes late. They refused me to enter, for1. My son is too young for the activity,2. I was late for 13 minutes.3. The activity is in French.I explained that I don’t leave in the neighborhood, the weather was bad, I already told them how old is my son when I made the reservation. We could stand by and listen we don’t need to involve the activity but I don’t want to come for nothing. Besides, both me and my son understand French.The ladies in charge just refused me to enter no matter what. If that’s the way this museum treats people, I will never step in this place ever again!

I will start with one of the best parts : the tour it is completely free. Then, another best part of course, it is that you can learn a bunch of things about electricity with a trained guide. This activity is good for both children and parents and you can spend several hours without getting bored.

An amazing opportunity to learn about electricity in Quebec, for free! Great for kids, but very interesting for adults as well. Lots of interactive examples to enjoy and knowledgeable staff. We reserved for English and got a private tour, since we were the only ones :-)

Very interesting museum for free. Great tour for both adults and kids

Great, hands-on exhibits for learning about electricity with a tour guide to give an introduction to each section and answer questions. Older kids will absorb more but even the 4 year old in our group had fun.

Reasonably interesting place to spend 45 minutes. The museum is only open on guided tours which you sign up for on arrival.we were the only family on the English tour. Aimed at probably 8-12 year olds it was an interesting look at how electricity is generated and distributed. Not worth a long drive, but if you are local or passing through it is a good way to spend an hour.
