Montréal and Québec City offer an abundance of family-oriented activities, many of them outdoors, even in winter. Dog sledding, watersports, river cruises, fort climbing, and fireworks displays are among the many attractions. The walls and fortifications of Québec City are fodder for imagining the days of knights and princesses, and both cities have horse-drawn sightseeing carriages, a surefire hit with most youngsters. Many museums make special efforts to address children's interests and enthusiasms.
