Seven Great Reasons to Visit Manoir Fraser with Your Kids This Summer!

Are you looking for a family activity in Rivière-du-Loup? Manoir Fraser is a must-add to your list!

Museums and heritage sites can sometimes seem ill-suited for little ones, given how much they move around, their natural curiosity, and their urge to touch everything. Places like Manoir Fraser are expanding their offerings to better welcome children—and visiting them comes with plenty of benefits for kids! Here are a few great reasons to bring your family to the mansion this summer:  

1. A fun family tour… with surprises!

Manoir Fraser is bursting with things to discover! Step into history during your visit to experience the daily lives of the family and the resident cook. This immersive experience will require you to keep your eyes peeled and put your thinking caps on. Searching, reflecting, and a whole lot of fun are on the menu! Find the clues to unlock a treasure chest and leave with a gift! A family activity in Rivière-du-Loup that's the perfect way to explore the mansion differently. A guaranteed hit for families!

2. A stimulating activity for children! 

Studies have shown that children who visit museums develop greater openness and empathy, two wonderful qualities to encourage! Whether on an emotional or psychological level, a visit to the manor is a stimulating experience for children. Bringing your children to the manor is therefore a great idea!

3. Learning while having fun!

During the summer, we take a break from school, but we still keep learning! What better way to expand our knowledge than by experiencing an immersive activity? A visit like the one offered at Manoir Fraser allows children to develop their imagination. It is a rich and educational environment that helps introduce them to history and develop their curiosity.  

4. An affordable activity!

Family trips can get expensive, but a visit to the Manor won't break the bank: it's only $18+ tx per family, and even better, the first Sunday of every month is by voluntary contribution! 

5. Space to play and stretch your legs

The Manor gardens offer plenty of space for little ones to explore and burn off energy worry-free! The various types of flowers, trees, and plants offer the perfect opportunity for discovery.

Time for a snack? No problem! The outdoor setup lets visitors sit back, enjoy a bite to eat, and make the most of the nice weather.  

6. A child-friendly tour and a dress-up room!

Our team of young guides are fantastic hosts who will easily capture your kids attention and keep them entertained with mysterious stories! 
 
Upstairs, the team has created a hands-on activity space designed specifically for children, where they can craft keepsakes from their visit. Depending on their skill level, kids can make a Jacob’s ladder, a thaumatrope, or a peek-a-boo box! 

To top it all off, at the end of the tour, kids can have fun dressing up and truly stepping into the shoes of historical figures—a wonderful way for them to discover how life today compares to the world of the Frasers!

7. A tour the whole family will love! 

The best part? You’ll enjoy discovering the story of the Fraser family and the city of Rivière-du-Loup just as much as your kids do. Grandparents are also invited to join in and share a special moment with their grandchildren!  

It’s time to switch up your routine, explore a new place as a family, and make great memories together!
