When they heard I was an English speaker they did a few jokes in English, which was nice. The performances were high energy and good vibes. Nice to have a drag king in addition to the queens. And lots of Rihanna-great beats! The audience was in a good mood and friendly. No meat market feel-also no other singles that I saw when I was there. Everyone appeared to have come with friends or on a date. The place was full, but not oppressively so. As I was leaving it was getting more crowded with a line outdoors and at the entrance. I didn't expect to see as many women as I did too-a nice surprise. The audience felt straighter than I'm used to in a gay bar in the States: 2 bridal showers when I was there and several male-female tables I assume were couples. Kind of gave me a spectator feel rather than being strictly "family," but on the upside it was very welcoming of everyone. Enjoyed my rum punch. I was surprised that they cashed me out after my first drink...maybe that's standard in Quebec? I'm used to running a tab and likely would've stayed later and ordered a second drink or food if that had been the case. I was surprised at how big the place was. People were both seated outside and in another room I saw on my way to the bathroom. The restrooms are down the stairs and then up a short flight, which I imagine can be tricky in high high heels and a tight skirt once sloshed. Go before you have your first drink It's a great time and place to visit-whether queer (like me) or just appreciating the glitz, glam, and talent of the performers.

Walking around Quebec City, we decided to grab a drink at Le Drague. We are not big on drag shows,…read morebut the bar is a gay establishment that we wanted to check out.

Our favorites this time around were the ice sculpting workshop and watching the ice canoe race from the ferry. We were disappointed that the professional ice sculptures were not throughout the city like they were two years ago, now you have to pay to see them. It was so fun seeing them as we explored the city last time.

Only two other people joined the tour with me and sister, so it was essentially a private tour. Score! What makes the tour unique is that it takes you throughout the seminary grounds, rather than showing you stuff in the museum itself. The tour takes you to multiple buildings and up and down stairs, so if you have any accessibility requests, let the front desk know beforehand so they can check if the elevators in some of the older buildings are functioning. If you have an interest in architecture, history, or religion, you'll enjoy this tour! Definitely recommend this museum if you're able to make it on one of their tours. 3.75

Despite its location in a busy and touristy area, the museum was quite empty when I went on a…read moreweekday afternoon in the summer. I took a guided tour, where I had the chance to walk through the seminary of Quebec and other special access places that are typically closed to the public. Definitely take the guided tour if you'll be visiting this museum because it's pretty cool and a lot more fun than the exhibits inside the museum. Get your money's worth! :) Since there were only two other people besides me and my sister on the tour, it was basically like a private tour. Call the museum beforehand to check when the tour hours are. Each tour takes 1.5-2 hours since you'll be walking around to different sites. The tour ends back inside the museum, but not at the main entrance where the tour started, so I was confused and found myself lost when trying to exit the museum back into the busy streets. The exhibits inside the actual museum building are pretty standard and in my opinion somewhat dry. However, they are quite educational and the exhibit "On the Road" explains the migration of the francophones (French-speakers). There are other exhibits as well such as "Mutations" that show some interesting art pieces.

When we arrived there was a Titanic exhibit. Unfortunately we ran out of time and energy to go to it. Hoping to be able to come back and see it. It's a wonderful learning experience - a lot of wow moments and moments of tears as we learned about the rich history of the area. There are many different "rooms" to explore, it can get crowded, so keep an eye on the little ones, as they can easily move to other rooms with the waves of people. The family favorites - the singing station, the fire exit interactive board, and "crowd surfing", influencing peoples choices through doors, by pressing colors, looking for the squirrels and of course the cafe. LOL The gift shop was great too. I was able to purchase locally made gloves, which ended up being perfect for walking around the Christmas markets. I highly recommend visiting this museum - if you are looking to do a little learning and need some indoors time.
