A unit of Parks Canada, the four floors of the Old Port Interpretation Center depict the Port of Québec as it was during its maritime zenith in the 19th century. Exhibits illustrate the shipbuilding and lumbering enterprises, employing animated figures and docents in costumes appropriate to the era. The modern port and city can be viewed from the top level, where reference maps identify landmarks. Guided tours of the harbor are available. Texts accompanying the displays are in French and English, and most exhibits invite tactile interaction. Guided tours of the Old Port in French and English leave from the center from mid-June to mid-October. Tour prices are C$8 (US$5.60) adults and C$7 ($4.90) for children 6 to 16.
