The bold and adventurous are invited to climb atop the Water Castle to discover the Daredevil Drop. The steep slope gives you the impression you’re falling into empty space. But don’t be afraid—the lake patiently awaits below as you complete your journey. A unique experience for thrillseekers and the ultimate test before tackling Everest.


Get ready to brave whirlpools, eddies, and counter-currents as you slide down with others in your inner tube. As you venture from pool to pool, you’ll need to pluck up your courage to attempt each of the falls that lead you to the end of the course.

Wave Pool

From relaxing by the seaside to the exciting sensation of braving waves over 1.5 meters high, choose how you want to enjoy this gigantic pool, which is one and a half times the size of a regulation NHL rink. With eight alternating wave patterns, it’s more fun than the ocean and much safer.


The Supersonic Falls are the first ultrafast waterslides available to waterpark visitors. Hurtle down four levels at lightening speed in just seconds before arriving in the lake below. Sliding on a carpet, the combination of height and speed attained during descent allows you to glide on the surface of the lake for a distance of about 18 meters (59 ft.).

Kiddie slides

The Water Castle is a veritable fortress that features Little Hunchback and Big Hunchback, two water slides that empty into the lake. The Butterfly, Whale, and Crocodile in the wading pool around the castle are sure to delight the little ones.


Tiny tots aged 1 to 6 rule in this farm animal theme park. Accompanied by their parents, they can make like grownups and slide down minislides, have fun with the water games in the wading pool, and even help their parents cool off near the water jets. A world designed especially and exclusively for little kids!


The artificial lake was the waterpark’s very first attraction and just the beginning of a long adventure for Valcartier Vacation Village. The lake is filtered using a decanting procedure and water quality is constantly monitored. Featured are the Water Castle—a veritable paradise for the little ones—and Game Island, with its water slides and games.
