La Boîte aux métiers, musée pour enfants
About This Museum
Just stumbled upon this absolute gem of a place, La Boîte aux métiers, and it's so much more than a 'museum'—it's a hands-on playground for curious kids. The whole concept is about letting children step into the shoes of different professionals, from bakers to builders. My favorite part was watching a group of kids completely engrossed in constructing a miniature house, complete with tiny tools and hard hats. The energy in there is pure, unadulterated childhood wonder; it’s loud, messy, and absolutely brilliant.
Collection Highlights
Kids can get their hands dirty in a real-life construction zone, complete with wheelbarrows and safety vests. Another hit is the mini supermarket where they can scan groceries and play cashier. Don't miss the veterinary clinic corner where they can 'treat' stuffed animal patients.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away in a modern building on Boulevard Pie-XI Nord, so it's easy to pop into if you're exploring Quebec City. Be prepared for your kids to not want to leave—this is a place where they'll want to spend hours diving into every single activity.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a clean, contemporary building that feels more like a bright, welcoming community center than a traditional museum.
