Parc Mille Lieux de la Colline is a character-driven outdoor theme park in Saguenay (Chicoutimi), Québec, open since 2015 and designed for children aged 2 to 8. Built around an original cast of costumed characters — Capucine, Axelle, Bouillon, Charbon, and others — the park weaves a storytelling experience through every zone, with characters roaming the grounds and leading activities throughout the day. The park runs two distinct seasons: a summer program packed with water play, rides, and exploration zones, and a winter season of skating, snow activities, and illuminated evening adventures.

Parc Mille Lieux makes a strong destination for day trips and family vacations in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. Seasonal passports are available for families planning multiple visits — see parcmillelieux.com for current ticketing and season dates.

Tour Ticoli is a 144-step tower climb with a panoramic view over the park and Saguenay. The carousel (added 2022) and bouncy inflatables round out the outdoor zones. The Family Place pavilion houses the Virtuo Ludo interactive game projector and arcade games for a break from the sun.

Winter: Les Hivernades

In winter, Parc Mille Lieux becomes Les Hivernades — an illuminated snowy version of the park open to the whole family. Activities include an outdoor skating trail, snowshoeing, tube sliding, and marshmallow roasting by an open fire. Evening lighting extends the fun past sunset. The winter character Alaska appears alongside sled dogs Verglas and Glaçon. Visit parcmillelieux.com for current Hivernades season dates.
