Let’s chat about vacation ideas for Quebec spring break 2024.
First, What Are the Quebec Spring Break 2024 Dates?
Whether you’re from Quebec or another province (or from another country), knowing the dates of Quebec spring break can come in handy. Some destinations can be quite busy, so booking early is always a good idea.

Spring and Mid-Term Break Vacation Ideas
There are several Quebec destinations offering spring break events and deals, here are some of the best ones I’ve found for you for 2024.
Mont Tremblant, Laurentians
During spring break the slopes of Mont Tremblant are popular with skiers and snowboarders of all ages and skill levels. It’s not the only fun to be had though, there are also family-friendly dances, snow soccer, boot hockey, chocolat chaud, and more. The fun begins each day at 3:30 pm.
Montreal
There is always something happening in Montreal, and spring break 2024 in Montreal is no different. Go ice skating at Parc La Fontaine, and visit the Montreal Botanical Garden. Go to Pointe-à-Callière to decide if you are a pirate or privateer, and attend the Montreal International Children’s Film Festival.
Quebec City
One of the busiest times to visit Quebec City is during spring break. It’s a mixture of families and school children on class trips, and there are a lot of fun activities to keep everyone entertained. The Plains of Abraham have a treasure hunt, sliding and skating.
Spend a day visiting the ice hotel and tubing down the hills at Village Vacances Valcartier. Walk through Onhwa’ Lumina in Wendake; explore MegaParc, the largest indoor amusement park in Quebec; and take a free walking tour of Old Quebec.
Mont Sutton, Cantons-de-l’Est
Located in the Eastern Townships, Mont Sutton has Quebec spring break activities from February 17th to March 17th. There are treasure hunts, musical après-ski, free guided tours, and ski week camps. When you’re ready to leave the mountain, head into town to discover a tasty food scene – including a yummy ramen shop!
Escape Fun Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook, Eastern Townships
Located 90 minutes east of Sutton, Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook has a super fun and exciting outdoor escape game in winter. Known as La Légende du Liéri, the escape game takes place on the Sentier de la Montagne trail (3 km) and has five stations. You’ll need a smartphone to play, and the cost is 10.50 CAD per person.
Wendake, Quebec’s Capital Region
A 20-minute drive from Quebec City, Wendake is home to the Huron-Wendat Nation and an excellent day trip. Visit the Huron-Wendat museum at Hôtel-Musée Premières Nations and tour Site Traditionnel Huron Onhoüa Chetek8e to learn about the history of the Huron-Wendat peoples. Listen to local storytellers share Indigenous myths and legends inside a traditional longhouse and try Indigenous cuisine at La Traite or Restaurant Sagamité.
Enjoy a Nordic Spa in Sherbrooke
Looking for something different to do with teenagers? Some Nordic spas in Québec have special times for teens aged 12 to 17 years. In the case of Strøm Spa, teens are welcome Tuesday and Wednesday nights from 5 pm to 10 pm, as long as they are accompanied by an adult. It’s a great way to warm up after a day of outdoor activities.
Quebec spring break is usually chilly and snowy and perfect for outdoor adventures – plus, the temperatures are not as cold as they are during Carnaval de Québec. When you want a break from being outside, there are museums, art galleries, amusement parks, theatres, and more.
