Well maintained park. We got left at the top and the return shuttle bus never arrived though we were there at the spot at 4pm, last bus is at 5pm but not one bus came in that one hour period. We were disappointed with staff for making us wait for an hour only to walk back down. Luckily we were equipped so had no trouble but it’s very unprofessional from the staff. Suggestion: Do not take the return shuttle if you have time, the walk down is moderate and doable by average fit people too. Especially if you’re going in the 2-4pm window!

You can see Perce as bird's eye view from top of the geopark. You can hike or ride the shuttle to go to the top. You have to pay extra for riding the shuttle. The washrooms area is besides the ticket counter at the entrance . Paid parking. Not much to do at the top area.

Couple + 4yr old. Paid for Geopark entry, Glass Passerelle and pavillon Tektronic. Bus service offered to go up and down the hill. Uphill would be difficult for a 4yr old so we took the bus uphill and walked back down. Beautiful hike, beautiful view points, rest points, you can find some picnic areas where you can share a family lunch. Our 4 yr old kept interested, especially in the magical forest. He loved trying to find the hidden elf or goblin - what was fun is people on the hike participated in our story and were saying they saw goblin houses and tracks but humans cant see them. That forest is different and beautiful to see. Several hikes offered once getting off the bus and all relatively easy, well maintained, even with our 4 yr old. The Glass Passerelle is key view point. Its fun to walk on the glass and scenery is beautiful. There is a zip line not functional - if you don't plan to put it back in service, we believe you are missing an opportunity for a view point at the bottom tower of zip line. The pavillon Tektonic was interesting. The sand pit for kids is such a cool idea and kids love building the lakes, mountains, etc. with the video - thats the highlight for us. The films are also interesting. The learning posts to listen to cards content are good, but lack info - felt like we wanted more at the end of each. Overall great activity. Oh let's not forget the indoor playground which kept our child occupied for more than an hour!

Nice views. Pricey tho. 13$ parking all day. 17$ per person and 12$ round trip for the shuttle unless you wanna do the 5km round trip hike. We did do some smaller hikes at the top. The magical forest and petit Saint Anne.

Went apart of a tour bus just before Canada day 2025. It was pretty and not crowded. There aren't many toilets there. The science was a little over my head especially in french but I was traveling with a budding scientist. It was neat to see and worth a visit.
