2. Zoo de Granby

Zoo de Granby is one of the major zoos located in Canada and North America’s northeast. It is home to nearly 1,500 animals from over 225 different species.

Visited the Granby Zoo in August 2017 with our two children (age 7 and 9). They had a blast. So much to see - definitely recommend buying the two day pass if you intend to also go to the water park because there is too much to see in just one day. The kids loved seeing all the animals and, while there's alot of walking, it's not as much as at the Toronto Zoo. The water park was a welcome chance to cool down after a long walk around the Zoo (kids couldn't get enough of the wave pool!). While I agree with other comments re. the price fo the food, there was a special for dinner after 5:00 p.m. which helped. Also, if your family is really organized (ours is not!), lots of people brought coolers / wagons and had their own picnics (lots of places to sit). The only negative would be that the amusement park section of the Zoo is really for very young children. The only 2 rides for older children were the rollercoaster and pirate ship, both of which you had to pay extra for. Go for the Zoo and water park, if you end up going to the amusement park, that's a bonus.
3. Mount Pinacle

Mount Pinacle is a great hike as the view-to-effort ratio is great for hikers of all ages! It’s both an easy and enjoyable hike that is fit for any fitness level! Unless you were told you were 655m (2,182 ft) at it’s highest point, you would never have been able to tell from the journey to the summit which can be achieved by most in about half an hour. We suggest going early in the morning to beat the crowds - it does get quite busy on the weeks during the afternoon hours - if you go for sunrise you'll have the entire summit to yourself! It's pet friendly, there is cell service, and no entrance fee.
4. Le Cep D'Argent
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 174 reviews
Located in the beautiful Eastern Townships, the Cep d'Argent vineyard offers quality wines and numerous memorable touristic tours. Enjoy the exceptional view on the Magog River and on the vines' field where the hard work from the Scieur brothers paid off magnificently. Le Cep d'Argent, lovechild of two passionate French wine growers, is the oldest vineyard in the Estrie region.

We stayed in Magog and drove 20min to get to Le Cep d'Argent vineyard for a wine tasting and it was a very positive experience. You purchase your tickets outside for the wines you want to taste ($1 per coupon and each wine is anywhere from $1 to $4). There were two of us, so we got all different ones and shared, which maximized the amount we could taste! It was very well organized, with tastings taking place inside, adhering to all COVID requirements (mask inside while walking around, but can take it off to taste the wines and chat with your friends). Service was offered easily in French and English. We had a number of wines we liked and ended up purchasing 7 bottles :) Though a current promotion now is if you purchase 11 bottles, you get the 12th free! The grounds were very nice to walk around in as well; we highly recommend this wine tasting!
5. Marais de la Riviere aux Cerises
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 386 reviews
Situé dans le cœur touristique des Cantons-de-l'Est, entre le parc du Mont-Orford et le lac Memphrémagog, il se laisse découvrir à quelques pas seulement du centre-ville de Magog. Là, sur un territoire de 1,5 km², boisés, marais, marécages et tourbière s'enlacent et engendrent une biodiversité impressionnante. Des centaines d'oiseaux, de mammifères et d'amphibiens trouvent au Marais de quoi se nourrir, s'abriter, chanter et se reproduire durant toute l'année. En plus de son réseau de sentiers accessible à l'année, le Marais de la Rivière aux Cerises vous offre une multitude d'activités tout au long de l'année! Sorties en kayak, expositions dans le centre d'interprétation du Marais, boutique, terrasses, ateliers et conférences, camp de jour scientifique pour les 7 à 13 ans, et bien plus! Les chiens sont acceptés sur les sentiers, mais doivent être tenus en laisse (1,5 mètres) pour la sécurité des usagers et pour préserver le milieu naturel !

We took a nice long walk around this point which is right next to downtown. It is well equipped with playground structures for children, public washrooms and a restaurant. You get a wonderful view of Mont Orford which is across the bay.

Margaret a vécu aux abords de la forêt de Coaticook, il y a des décennies. Elle possédait un don rare; elle pouvait voir ce que les autres ne voyaient pas. L’âme de cette femme habite les bois depuis. Parcourez la forêt enchantée de Foresta Lumina et partez à la rencontre des créatures fantastiques… En entrant dans ce monde magique, allez murmurer un voeu aux fées qui cohabitent avec Margaret et les créatures nocturnes… On dit que les fées écoutent les souhaits de ceux qui se laissent porter par les mystères de la forêt de la gorge de Coaticook. Quel est le vôtre?

It was truly a magical experience to be able to visit! I would recommend going as late as possible, since it was pretty busy, even when we went at 10pm, so we sometimes had to lag behind some slower people, or climb in order to see certain things. And try to get there right as the previous wave is leaving so that you can nab a parking space. Finding parking was crazy! Though the show is definitely worth the frustration. We loved it!

This place was awesome...with natural snow conditions not being great, this place was AWESOME! We went to two hills in VT before heading to Bromont (Killington and Sugar Bush)...Bromont was the best because they make enough snow to keep everything open and they have the lights. It was so great!
