Observatoire de la Capitale

Loved our visit, beautiful views.

Beautiful views of Quebec. A lot of facts and history about Quebec which I found interesting. Some facts are outdated. Not comparable to other towers in Canada (CN & Calgary). Only a building of about 31 floors.

Great place to visit with a nice Weather, great to take a quick image of the city.You need to make reservation online and the ticket increases to $14.75 per person.The view is great but if there are more English descriptions, that would be better.

Wonderful views! I went in 2012. It gives you a 360 degree view of the city and surrounding areas. If I remember correctly, it was about $10 to access. I highly recommend it. It gives a great overview of where my ancestors lived and why they picked this area to settle. You can see for many miles in all directions. Nice view of the layout of the Citadel and of the Quebec Bridge. Lots to see in the immediate area also.

The views were pretty amazing, tho I'd recommend not going on a cloudy day. They have student pricing that turned out quite reasonable.I loved the labels, as if you could see 700 km you could see Toronto, or 5000 to Anchorage. They had other city's like Paris, New York and Moscow.Opposite to the view they had random trivia, I was surprised to see which country drank the most alcohol.

The views are AMAZING, but visiting is such a hassle, as you HAVE to pay online by credit or debit card. Technically, you have to reserve a specific time slot, but this doesn't seem to be enforced as it seems it rarely reaches max capacity. I was not aware of this until the day of, but decided to just risk it and show up without a reservation, hoping I could just pay with cash in person, as it was my last day and I desperately needed to get rid of some banknotes. Unfortunately, there was no way to avoid the online payment. Luckily, there is a computer at the front desk you can do it on, but it's a bit complicated if you don't know French and are used to typing on an American keyboard. Once you've entered your information, they send you a code either to your e-mail or text, so if you don't have WiFi access or an International Data Plan, or a cell phone for that matter, you're basically fried. The computer was unable to process my payment, but thankfully the girl was able to do it manually.The ladies at the front desk were extremely helpful, and the view at the end of was worth it, but I've traveled a lot and have never seen a tourist attraction that requires payment this way. In any other circumstance, I would've just walked away and given the place 1 star, but kindness goes a long way with me, and the kindness and helpfulness of the ladies at the front desk, is why it's getting 5 stars.That being said, if you wanna risk the chance of having bad weather, it definitely seems easier to do the reservation from home.

I visited there to have a view of the Quebec city from top. It was great but if you compare with the view from CN tower or any other tower than you will be disappointed. It is not a tower but a building. The view is from 31st floor. Tickets in summer is 5$ till Sept 5th, So we went there, else not worth spending more money on the tickets. Need to book tickets in advance.

I went to this place during the Thanksgiving weekend and the view from top is beautiful especially during fall. The cost is about $15 and we take an elevator to reach the top. We get different views from the four sides of the building. All the views are different from one another. I would recommend to visit this place in fall.

It was cool but I put 4.It’s a nice place for all ages.It is not far from old town.It’s All seasons and weather attraction.The price is affordable- 15CADYou can use all enters to get there.2 restrooms are there (lobby and 31 floor).A few tables and seats are there.Some confused moments:-in June is open 4 days a week - except weekend! But Why?!-You must get tickets online BUT no wi-fi is there!!! Be prepared if you don’t have an internet connection.-site is on French. It’s so tricky to buy ticket there.-this place is not advertised properly.-you need to take an elevator to 31 floor. Only 2 of them go there. Pay attention! No signs are there!

A very soothing and informative experience, perfect for first-time visitors to the city. It can be a quick walk or a pretty long visit if you care to read all of the fact panels. If the weather is on your side, you'll get marvelous views from all sides of the building.
