Frequently Asked Questions

What should we wear?

Since it's often a few degrees cooler in Val-David than in the parts of Quebec further south, we recommend bringing a jacket or sweater.

What should we do if the forecast calls for rain?

First, you should be aware that a day at the Village will provide you with plenty of fun, no matter whether the skies are sunny or cloudy. In the case of showers, visitors can keep dry in the shelters provided for this purpose, and take advantage of the break to catch their breath before resuming the fun and games once the rain has passed.

If the forecast calls for constant rain, the Village will close for the day. This
happens only once or twice a year.

If you're uncertain, we recommend checking the Village's website before setting out.

Snack bar or packed lunch?

You can bring your own lunch to enjoy at one of the many picnic tables located throughout the Village. You can leave your lunch boxes or coolers in your car and come back to get them when you're ready to eat.

If you'd prefer to take a day off from making lunch, then feel free to try our snack bar instead. The menu combines classic snack bar fare with health-conscious alternatives. You can choose from a broad selection including paninis, vegetarian pizza for kids, Christmas poutine and much more. Got any ideas for Christmas-themed dishes? Our chef would love to hear your suggestions!

What is a typical day at the Village like?
