PARC MARIE-VICTORIN: YOUR SUMMER STARTS HERE!
An Unmissable Botanical Legacy
Located in Kingsey Falls, the Parc Marie-Victorin was created in 1985 as a tribute to Brother Marie-Victorin, a native of Kingsey Falls and one of Québec's most influential pioneers in botany. The Park stands out for its remarkable themed gardens, impressive three-dimensional mosaicultures, and outstanding collection of carnivorous plants.
7 Themed Gardens and 1,000 Discoveries
With 6 km of walking trails, visitors can explore a wide variety of landscapes and experiences. The giant mosaicultures captivate guests with their artistic creativity and technical excellence, while the greenhouse's collection of 1,200 carnivorous plants fascinates visitors with their extraordinary adaptations.
From the Bird Garden to the Waterfall Garden, and along the Curiosity Trail, every step invites exploration and discovery. Designed as a place for observation, education, and conservation, the Park's new natural wetland conservation area actively supports local biodiversity by providing essential habitat for numerous plant and animal species.
A Dynamic Seasonal Program
