Parc Marie-Victorin

Parc Marie-Victorin is a botanical garden in Kingsey Falls featuring six distinct themed garden sections with over 60,000 annual plants, rare conifers, and mosaicultures. The layout combines open green spaces with focused plant collections to create a varied visit.

The garden was founded in 1985 and named after Frère Marie-Victorin, a key figure in Quebec's botanical studies who was born in Kingsey Falls. His legacy shaped the garden's focus and mission.

The garden presents fleischfressende plants through educational displays and specialized greenhouses that show their natural habitats and characteristics. Visitors can directly experience how these plants function and why they capture such interest.

The garden features accessible pathways throughout and free parking for visitors. An on-site restaurant and picnic areas provide dining options, and a boutique sells local products including plant-based cosmetics.

Large outdoor modules display how carnivorous plants catch prey through interactive exhibits that reveal surprising mechanical details. A museum section unexpectedly connects these plants to their portrayal in film and television.
