Description
To note : Partially accessible establishment, but washroom not accessible.
The Écomusée du Fier Monde presents three different levels of exhibits. It's best to call ahead for group visits. There is a meeting room upstairs that can be rented. To get from the first floor to the ticketing level, you need to use a platform lift. To get to the other levels, you need to use another platform lift. There is only one toilet in the building, in the men's room, but it does not offer a suitable transfer area, so it's not accessible.
