I would say it depends on the age and interest of the kids. You could walk the Duffin Terrace and go west to the Citadel and Plains of Abraham. The views from there are really cool. There is a lot of history there to be learned. On the way up if you walk up you can visit Montmorency historical park. All of these places are very walkable. They also have plaques in both French and English talking about the history of the area. You can catch some of the murals around town too.

Old Quebec would be difficult but not impossible, Very steep hills, streets and walkways. Additionally, the old cobblestone streets may present problems. I have two artificial knees and some respiratory problems so I took breaks every 45 to 60 minutes and managed to tour Old Town for about six or seven hours. Good luck.

Unsure, came by ship. Might check port parking as it is close by?

Was just there August 8-9, and there are areas less busy and other areas, with narrow streets that are very busy and full of people. Restaurants were also busy, but you could stick to the patios, if the weather is nice.

I went last January and found it very cold (even to a fellow Canadian)! It was parka, hat, mittens, boots weather for certain!

I was just notified about your question and trust you had a wonderful trip. I took layers and used them all. When I travel, I consult (not until I pack) a 5- or 10-day forecast that shows morning, noon, and PM temps.

Yes. We loved it. We picked them up in front of the hotel Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. We paid 90 CAD. We thought it was inexpensive for experience. Also, it depends on the exchange rate.

We took the hotel shuttle, and it drops you off right in the heart of the old city. You take it back from there as well. It is in front of the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac.
