J. Armand Bombardier Ingenuity Museum — Attraction in Valcourt (ville)

Very cool museum. I came as part of a bus tour. We didn't have the luxury to slowly browse around because of the tight schedule. There were also 2 other groups of kids that arrived behind us, so they coordinated it such that we would move to another section to clear space for another group. It was well organized though I wish I had more time to walk around, to read and to try more interactive elements. There are a few great photo opportunities: hold the Olympic torch, drive the TTC street car. I also really enjoy the section on different innovations by other Canadians. It's super interesting. So it's not just about snowmobile, cars and planes. All the displays are bilingual in both French...

Great way to spend a few hours and a great family outing. We were 4 adults. We found it very interesting and informative. Although the first part of the tour was in French, (the exhibition hall with the first and original snow mobiles) the guide did his best to include us. The other exhibits and experiences were in English. Lots of models on display. We really enjoyed the audio visual experience in the original garage. The flight simulator was also a big hit but lots of people lining up for their 7 minute flight. Would go again with my grandkids. Staff are friendly and informed, Covid protocols were in place. ...

An interesting blend of history with technology. I'm not very mechanically inclined, so I didn't know a lot about Mr. Bombardier...but I certainly know about SkiDoo. Very interesting to see the development of snow vehicles (almost like a "snow van") to snow mobiles and then many other applications. Lots of interactive displays to engage the younger set. In particular they did a splendid job in creating a multimedia experience inside of Mr. Bombardier's garage. I also appreciate the EV chargers in the parking lot as well as the discount I received by staying in a nearby campground....
