Quebec's Ice Hotel -- Hotel de Glace-- is one of three in the world, a place of other-worldly beauty that you can experience as a day-guest on a guided tour. The Ice Hotel is about an hour's drive from Quebec City; dates are approx. January to April.
Montreal Jazz Festival
Montreal is a wonderful city to visit in summer, and if you arrive in late June and early July you can take in the world-class Jazz Festival-- and so can your kids. Thousands of 'em romp daily in a gigantic play zone with giant piano keys, a slide like a trumpet, arts, crafts, clowns, etc. A special Little School of Jazz show teaches kids about jazz music by using familiar kiddie songs.
