Having grown up in this area it was nice to revisit a child hood class trip destination:) It's a great place to learn about our beginnings... The fort is meticulously thought out; the entry fee is minimal and the staff are eager to share their expertise and knowledge on ur self guided tour... A must do

It is a re-creation/re-building of a French fur trading post from 1605. Quite amazing and they had so much engineering smarts. This is way before the age of Black and Decker and DIY. Incredible. $4.00 admission was such a bargain. Very interesting and educational.

The fort is amazing and gives you insight into the very first Canadian settlement. The staff on site were informative and friendly. What a treasure.

I'm from a family of history buffs, so I had to come here. It was quite remarkable, hauling up and down steep wooden staircases, trying to imagine ramparts and recreate how life must have been for those who originally built, lived and worked in it. It is hard to fathom how difficult it must have been, coping, surviving here, strangers... More

Port Royal NHS is definitely worth a stop. The reconstruction is super; you can wander through and interact with the different buildings - try sitting at the table and using the tankard or lying on the furs after a tough day; there are great places for pictures and you are left with a strong impression of what life might have...

This is a reconstruction of the original Port Habitation. The original was built in 1605 by the company of Sieur de Mons and Samuel Champlain as a French fur-trading post.

Well kept grounds, knowledgeable staff and a welcoming atmosphere make this site a 'must see' for tourists of all ages. The tours are not rushed and are extremely informative. Worth exploring!

Don’t miss this one. This reconstruction of the original trading post and first settlement by French explorers in Canada is just so well done. This is one of Parks Canada’s historic sites and certainly one of the best. Its construction faithfully follows the plans left by Samuel de Champlain who arrived in Nova Scotia with Sieur de Mons in 1604... More

A worthwhile visit to see what life was life in the 1600's. This place gives you a wonderful sense of Nova Scotia/Canadian history at the same time Quebec City was being established.
