Impressive, but disappointing, spaces are tight so you are surrounded by unknown people in a very small space.You only visit the middle row of the submarine.

Nice location by the river, interesting information with nice exhibits about the historical event of Empress of Ireland. Worth a stop if you have time

The submarine museum with an audio guide is the best. Never thought the space is so tight in submarines. Climbing the lighthouse stairs was fun as well.

Such a great way to spend a few hours. Really well done self guided tour in English or French. I highly recommend this attraction.

Lovely lighthouse. If you have the time don’t forget to check out the submarine!

Passing through the little town of Rimouski towards Gaspé, located on Rue du Phare, right on the bank of the St Laurent River, we find this place called Pointe-au-Pere" which we love. We did not have much time to explore all the exhibits that look very interesting which contains museums including one in a submarine and a lighthouse but we walked around on a beautiful sunny day where we contemplated a super nice place to spend the day between adults or in families with children

A great stop to see pretty unusual things! A submarine (unfortunately it was closed and couldn't be visited when we were there), a fairly tall lighthouse and a museum building that is built in a rather unconventional way-- yet totally appropriate considering the topic: the tragedy of the Empress of Ireland (the building is shaped as a shipwreck). Definitely a stop that we would recommend.

Really interesting place and a rarity to get all close and personal with a more recent type of submarine (not WW2). The English audio guide was great, telling an engaging story while explaining the workings of the boat and live of the crew onboard. Recommend combining this with a visit of the lighthouse.

Great place to visit. The movie is particularly useful to better understand the significance of the Empress of Ireland.

Interesting to learn about Canada's worst maritime disaster. In non Covid times we would've liked to go on the submarine too
